No fear to speak up, which generates lively sharing of ideas/debate, which is fertile grounds for new ideas to be generated.<br /><br />anon at January 31, 2007 10:21 PMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405345292513335071.post-84661746241341422652007-02-01T22:39:00.000+08:002007-02-01T22:39:00.000+08:00Anonymous January 31, 2007 10:21 PM

Something just struck me today.
One ...Hi Mr Wang,<br /><br />Something just struck me today.<br /><br />One of the often cited counterpoints for the need for more freedom of speech in Singapore is "How often does one have something to say but cannot due to lack of freedom of speech?".<br /><br />One of the often cited pros for foreigners choosing to reside in Singapore is safety/security, which is then often etomised by "Where on earth can a lady walk on the streets alone at midnight and still not fear for her safety?". But if one were to use the same thought process on the "freedom of speech" counterpoint on this, then the question on the premise is "how often does a lady want to walk on the street at midnight?".<br /><br />Not sure if the above means much, but still just a thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405345292513335071.post-28222867502642784402007-01-31T14:38:00.000+08:002007-01-31T14:38:00.000+08:00The organisers are taking planning way too serious...The organisers are taking planning way too seriously.
