Reply to comment by MyPCsuckswantnewone in TIL Singapore’s constitution requires the President to have experience as a minister - or as CEO of a large, profitable company. by ltdanhasnolegs
I'm not defending the govt. I'm defending my right as a Singaporean not to be dictated to by supremely confident, yet utterly incompetent Americans whose knowledge of my country amounts to having watched a couple of half baked YouTube videos.
What utter nonsense, "de facto dictatorship".
When we have had free and fair elections since independence?
When we have a thriving civil society (AWARE, TWC2, Oogachaga)?
When we have a civilian-governed military?
When you can go to any MPS and complain about the government's incompetency without fear of retribution?
When we are entering our third political leadership succession in peace, never having had a bullet fired in response?
Contrast that with Americans and their Jan 6th insurrection.
We should all be annoyed at fly over critics like OP.
