Why is the RwB not sued at all?

Does this mean there is some truth if not all truth in the reports?

What is there to fear by implementing press freedom? Singapore is a modern city and we already have the infrastructure, institutions and systems in place. We are the least corrupt country in the world. We have an eminent leader (MM LEE) who is honored from US to UK. We have nothing to fear.

If we remove this obstacles, Singapore will be a Utopian and near perfect society, something the world including RWB will fear. They will not know how to deal with Singapore.

//Roger U Roundly: If a person can do nothing more than nitpick over grammar and spelling in an article such as this, they’ve already lost the argument.

//Greatest Asia: Those “shallow monkeys” are from countries that are hundreds of years older than Singapore. Doesn’t mean they’re inherently better, just that they might know what they’re talking about. Also, if the rest of the world accepts their findings, including other Asian nations, then is it just personal paranoia that has you spouting your nonsense?

To feel shame is the first step towards decency. Instead to defend shameless acts is our response to fair and objective commentary on our state of affairs. Even more shame.

Let them die in the knowledge that more shame will come their way.

We need to thank the internation community for the IBA’s 70 odd pages of world class report.

Singaporeans may never be brave enough to write that.

There is hope left.

We need to tap onto the world of resources.

Regarding the Singapore media being a mouthpiece for the government, on the Young PAP website, there is a article ‘Temasek Holdings, Financial Disclosure and Charles Goodyear’. The the author suggested in reply of a comment that for the Temasek Holdings issues, the government has no influenced over the media and is actually disadvantaged in terms of media coverage. Is there any merit in his arguement at all!?!

Shallow monkeys have a great platform here; it can contribute to help improve Singapore.

But shallow monkeys are just kids, still too young.
