Public Relations - PAP just dun learn
Famous blogger, Yawning Bread, summed up the issue to a T on the current IMF-World Bank Annual Meeting 2006 fiasco and the current state of political affairs on this red dot.
In the face of all this, doesn’t PAP have some Public Relations people on the standby to manage all this backlash ?
If PAP dun buckle up (although it might have been already too late), instead of the MICE that this government is hoping that this island will become, it will be a mice as in a 过街老鼠 which will be mentioned in the same bad breath together whenever restrictions of freedom of speech debate is mentioned globally.
I particularly like this phrase from Yawning Bread :
“(By the way, many Singaporeans think that "upholding the law" means enforcing rules and clamping down. That only shows how brainwashed we've all been. "Upholding the law" means defending our legal rights and freedoms against those who would trample on those rights and freedoms, be they robbers, kidnappers or politicians.) "
4 more days till the IMF-World Bank Annual Meeting closes. Will the Red Dot’s reputation survive till 20th September 2006 ?
To digress a bit, I hope people also dun neglect the discussions and results from this meeting, because the repercussions affect everybody globally.
Addendum 01
It just occured to me... The SDP's protest march today... besides the fact that his gang will be rounded up, what will happen if some IMF-World Bank / NGO, CSO people decided to join the event ?
