Pkchukiss - Reality Wine

I cringe whenever I read perpetuated propaganda from the PAP controlled media: not only do they prefer to give a “positive” spin on any situation that should have been treated with seriousness, they make a big fuss out of small issues. Like the time when a blogger re-published some christian cartoons?

The paper spent its commentary on a blogger whom was simply re-publishing the works of others, while keeping deafeningly silent on critical issues, like the IDA’s $388 million mess that was eventually written off and buried. For any self-centred Singapore who cares, nobody was held accountable for the huge financial loss of tax-payer’s money. The positive spin? It was an honest mistake.

Honest! Where honest mistake lies, it can probably only be made by the ones who hold control of power. The rest of Singapore are clapped into irons for anything that goes out of the comfort zone for those living high inside their ivory tower.

Surprisingly, hospitals make honest mistakes too! In fact, they make so many each day, it gets tiresome being so forthcoming about its mistakes, but may all Singaporeans rest assured: the medical service here is top notch! That is besides the miscommunication, and honest mistakes, of course.

While doing their National Service, servicemen whom fall sick in camp have to approach their medical officers in order to be excused from injury-inducing activities. However, the same people whom have taken the Hippocrath’s Oath turns around and bite the population they have sworn to serve, dismissing real injuries off as a pathetic attempt by the patient to malinger.

Oh dear! Is there a honest mistake somewhere? I think so. Singaporeans prefer to leave such issues well alone. They are more afraid of what may come out of a pandora’s box, and prefer to live with a monster they can see, rather than stare at problems for what they really are.
