- "In a way, they treat all Singaporeans as potential terrorists. They don’t trust us. Just look at the cameras located at five strategic points of the park in the photographs below. Judge for yourselves as to how free Singaporeans are today."
Come on! Just because there are 5 surveillance cameras at a park and Singaporeans are no longer free? There's so many people who walk past / cross the park everyday, wouldn't the cameras be of good use for security purposes? What kind of logic is Teo Soh Lung trying to drive at?
- "I recall attending one event organised by human rights defender, Mr Jolovan Wham in support of Malaysians who were deported for gathering beneath the iconic Merlion. It was swarmed with plain clothes men and women."
Am I missing her point here? Or perhaps she is expecting everyone to be wearing school uniform or cosplay costumes when they go to Hong Lim Park. Certainly not plain clothes.
- "And one question I always ask is this: Since we are not trusted by our government, should we trust them?"
Trust is earned and not simply given. I personally find it hard to trust someone who has issues and gets edgy with security cameras at a park. Perhaps they have something to hide, or things that they do not want people to know about.
