Have to go for my first interview in a few minutes' time, with PA. I wonder how i got myself into this mess, given that I have done nothing but badmouth our government the whole of yesterday, following their announcement that they will finally allow our Ministers to debate relatively more freely in Parliament. They finally admitted to suppressing arguments from their own ministers against the prevailing or the proposed policies by the government. The so-called representative government was never practised here ever since 1965.

What disturbs most me is that someone asked me how knowing that should affect her. Disempowerment aside, there is a fundamental disengagement. I figured that while political apathy is discouraged on the media, it is secretly celebrated. Political participation, as with a frank dialogue in parliament, equivocal with that of free speech in the Speakers' corner, will only be tolerated only within limits.
