I do not agree with many of what Roy said. However the point is not about what he said.
If we look around the world, no opposition is PERFECT. They will throw out 100 things. 4 or 5 of them fall through the crack ( not truthful, misleading etc), taken as part of parcel of politics. Here, just 1, you got a knockout blow for anyone who dare to stand up and give their voice.
There is a lack of tolerance to mistake, a huge sense of insecurity to opposing view and therefore widening of society. There needs to be room to play with.
A painful example is why Singaporeans are not re-producing themselves. A Well Respected Senior admits he do not understand. I would dare to said he do not want to understand. Taiwan has similar problem. However they are spot on. " Our younger generation feel insecure of their future. " Do you young people feel familiar ?
