hi.
it's been a while.

so maybe you've heard about the recent on-goings(if you haven't, look it up http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,4136,94646,00.html). 3 'bloggers' charged under the Sedition Act for racist remarks. Nicholas Lim Yew, 25, and Benjamin Koh Song Huat, 27 and Gan Huai Shi, 17, a private school student(poor bastards).

just like you, I have no idea what was said or how 'racist' the comments made by the first two felons were. (i mean, no offence, but what do you expect, right?) this is singapore. lacking transparency. the government refrains from discussing 'sensitive' issues out in the light of day. anyone beg to differ...? but hey, this doesn't mean that it's entirely bad. so long as there's peace and everyone's happy, then they must be doing a good job, right..? (yes. i know. i'm digressing..)

now, this third guy, the 17 year-old, i've read the articles on his blog(both his blogs) before. the stuff he says there are extreme. they go beyond the boundaries of so-called 'racist' remarks or jokes(as i'm sure most of you who have read it would agree..). and i heard he's from a private school? i thought so. (i do hope he wasn't a josephian. touchwood.).

this is what i think; more established(independent) schools cultivate unhealthy and warped mentalities/beliefs. no, i'm not blaming it on the school. it's just the way it is. somehow. it's become a culture. they(the students) think it's ok to make racist comments or crack racist jokes in light of the targetted minor. everyone's calling everyone a 'mat' or 'ahneh'. influence. i should know. i was in one.

maybe this kid, Ah Gan, brought things a little too far. by starting a blog filled with prejudicial matter-of-fact kind of statements. created a stir, etc, etc... just for kicks. and now, he's landed himself in deep-shit. haha. that's quite funny really.

edit;

hmm.

all i have to say is that:

rich/educated kids = rotten grown-ups.

and it was night again -7:58 PM-
