The perverted tango

One to the left, two to the right...Or something like that...

Read Singapore's media these days, regarding the Selamat Kastari escape: the one to the left - "we're almost critical of the authorities"...the two to the right: "only to praise them even stronger...for apologizing...for doing a vigorous search...."...

it's time Singaporeans are given a little bit of credit and assumption of intelligence....they won't start riots or become less-affectionate of a government that brough them such a good standard of living just because it was once strongly criticized, with no cushions, no random excuses...

I'd bet on the opposite...that maybe it would make people a bit more responsible, more aware that the authorities can't always keep the game straight on their own...

huge risks, yes, i see that. but wouldn't the reward be so sweet?
