No government is the Best government. The only consideration is whether one benefits from it or not.
Maybe Apple is tai ji ing the issue to US supreme court so they can say they protected the privacy of their consumers.
But no doubt in spore, if same thing happen, Apple will say no problem. Tomorrow install ok?
If its all wayang, Apple can easily phone it in.
N let FBI get permission from court while they stand one corner n kwai kwai obey
And my other point is sporeans r screwed becos they stoopidly voted in this shitty garbagenent.
No one is going to object to this. Same as Benjamins case.
Only some ppl will object bt once garbagement slam their fist down n say diam! All discussions end.
You are wrong. This cb garbagenent has already declared themselves the best. Greatest.

Actually, elections is not about choosing best government which is non-existent and I agree with you but elections is about choosing the type of government you want for yourself.
Democracy is not about only elections but about the culture, environment, level of freedom in action, thoughts and words, fairness between the powerful (Government) and the powerless (Citizens) etc. Democracy is not a simple definition.

Absolutely. So apparently, more peoWant to meet at coffee shop?ple is very satisfied with the present government, ie PAP. And more people at Hougang is very satisfied with opposition party then.
There is no perfect and absolute Democracy. Things such as freedom, fairness etc are subjective and relative. However, fair and equal are not the same though.

Yes, democracy is the lesser evil to other models of Government like Communism, Dictatorships, Monarchy, Fascism, One Party System etc.
The phrase 'Bring balance to the Force' always hold true.
Trouble is Singapore politics today has no balance. PAP is one sided too powerful for anybody to hold PAP accountable and responsible for anything. This applies to both alternative political parties and private citizens.
This is regarding the launch of a "next-generation electronic road-pricing (ERP) system". Implementation of this system is touted by the government as a means to: Alert you of toll roads and charges before you reach them, provide real-time traffic information, coupon-less streetside parking, automatic payment for off-peak drivers, and it’ll be able to bill you for your distance travelled.
HOWEVER, it is clear that this is without a doubt a serious and blatant breach of privacy at worst and a shady means to passively tax vehicle owners at best.
1) They know all your whereabouts at a few clicks of a button. There is no clear explanation or documentation on how such private data will be used. With enough data points, anyone can be easily profiled by their routes and behavioral patterns (i.e. Where you go on weekends, what routes you take, where do you shop, where do you have your meals). What will they use such data for? Sell it to corporate organisations as "market research material"? One can only imagine.
2) Road tax is already paid for, for road users to legally use the road. This tax is meant to go towards maintaining the roads, which is fine. So with this "next gen system", surely that makes road taxes and the like untenable?
3) One must realise that this technology is akin to GPS tracking ankle braclets the police use on criminals on probation, and if this plan goes unopposed, it is fundamentally complicit agreement that they could roll out their future "GPS tracking bracelets for public transport payment in order to phase out the EZ link card technology". Already, our EZ link cards track our movement everytime we take the public transport. Do you want it to track when we go to the loo as well, or when we go to the shops?
4) What if the unthinkable happens and systems get hacked and hijacked by terror groups? Recent cases have shown that no technology is safe and it is only a matter of time and effort before someone gets access to the millions of data points generated by the tens of thousands of vehicle owners. Will anyone feel safe anymore?
lai ah lai ah, time to stir shit again in order to brainwash Singaporean to vote against our govt so that our country can prosper and our currency will appreciate equal to British pound in no time

What is your definition of Balance? Does it really exist??? Either in politics, corporate world or marriage?

Demokracies to you is :
constantly hunting for support, always on the PRETEXT of lending a helping hand/ear to those who already resent by discreetly pouring gallons and gallons of kerosene onto their personal issue to incite them !
pushing our young ignorant teenager to the firing line, made used of him to mock of our retired politician with the intention to flame our judiciary system for being uncompassionate towards juvenile if charged in court. (What a cunning move)
teamed up with foreign media to fabricate stories, spread untrue rumours, create havoc via online platform 24/7, and continuously made allegations flaming our govt and making every issue a mountain out of a molehill.
24/7 365 days stirring shit everywhere, using clones involved in discussion as if many ppl agreed with your views

There will never be a true Balance, same as society is never fair but humans always tried to close the gap rather than let extremism happen to left or right. This is the cornerstone of any successful organisation, society or country.
PAP IBs here try to silence discussions detrimental to PAP by bringing out the case about the persecution of TRS and creating fear. That is prime example of extreme power.
TRS only had one poor article and that was the case they were persecuted for compare to the thousands of other TRS articles which actually brought awareness for Singaporeans.
