Two videos
May 21, 2008
I came across these videos from Singapore Daily.
To me, I find myself watching two table tennis players with their own agenda. The accusations are thrown from one end to the other.
Each is right, yet each is wrong.
The lady (from SDP) who reasoned with the representatives of MDA (pardon me not knowing her names; I know her by face as I’ve seen her multiple times, but her name never registered), constantly used phrases like “Let’s be logical”, “Let’s be reasonable”.
It feels like a public stunt. To downplay the MDA representatives who, like a certain group of people, constantly preaches about a certain “truth” or “rightness”.
They don’t seem to question whether that “truth” they hold, is truly as such.
The context given was that this is a private function, the SDP is screening a certain “One Nation Under Lee” and the MDA, along with the police, party-crashed.
The reason? Because the film screened has not been subjected to censorship.
To me, it seemed like the SDP is really just gathering artillery from the screening- they screened the film, and they managed to make the MDA look like donkeys.
But it is still not enough. They are but a small voice.
