A matter of political will

It sounds like 'National Reconcilation Session" instead of 'National Dialogue Session". This session is needed properly because of the setback (by the ruling party) in the last election?

I just would like to think what if such setback hadn't happened at all, would there be a need for such Reconcilation Session?

The "New Normal" for political will which must be motivated by monetary incentives.

Today, the ST reported a British man who molested a woman was let off by the Court, after he apologised to the lady and paying her kopi money of S$5,000.
Anybody ever come across a local man committing the same crime being let off the hook same way?
Or is it a case of one country 2 systems kind of Justice, one for Singaporeans and one favouring Foreign residents.
Is it political will to administer such strange Justice? Is it going to be a precedent for foreigners who commit such crimes.
We need answers.

ST Forum - August 29

"Much will depend on how the conversation is conducted and whether there is a genuine desire for change. If it is a monologue, in top-down fashion, it will be a waste of time.

If the educated citizenry treat it as yet another public relations exercise and do not have the depth or gumption to speak their minds, then it may remain a dream rather than reality."
