This business of people getting arrested for blogging is absolutely rubbish. Okay, so i dont condone the various racist comments made, (one of my bestest pals in jc was none other than the incorrigible ISKANDAR BIN ABDULLAR, missing in action since March 2005!) but phu-leeze, a single blogpost by one of the millions of faceless bloggers out there isnt going to "sow seeds of discord" amongst Singaporeans, sending us back to racial rioting.
How many people even read blogs in the first place? And even if blogs DO get read, would anyone really care, or would it really change the sentiments of Singaporeans today? It'll take more than a few pissed off comments to get the different races warring against each other, dear gah-men..
And what's up with this thing about Mr Miyagi getting all that "blogrash" over a National Service pic posted on his blog? Phu-leeze, let's not hide the fact that militaries of the whole world know everything and anything about each other. They're just hiding the fact that they do. So displaying a photo of a tank (a WWII one, at that), inside or outside, isnt gonna be devastating for National Security.
Big Brother is just being paranoid. The next thing we know, we'd have committees set up to blogsurf all day just to curb stuff that's being posted. We'd have a blogpatrol, who would send electric shocks through our fingers everytime an f-word is typed. Then the situation would get so out of control that Singapore would ban blogger.com, followed by all blogging sites, followed by the internet, and we'd turn into North Korea 2. Ah, lovely.
Oh dear, I hope I dont get arrested over this.
