Children, read only the pages I marked can read, the rest cannot read

This is what Shania Ong wrote about the new laws Shanmugam is mooting to protect the daft Sinkies so that they would not be bluffed by fake news. The full article is posted in TRE under the heading ‘Selective investigation of ‘fake news’ by police?’
‘Question we need to ask ourselves is: “Are we really that stupid or dumb as a First World Nation to need the government to tell us what we can or cannot read and believe”? And the manner in which our police and politicians alike being so afraid of netizens taking to social media to air grievances or exposing victimization is very telling of what they really have to hide!....
I believe as people of Singapore, we are wiser than the government thinks and can discern right from wrong, falsehoods and truths. Is just that things have not gotten to a point where we feel we need to change the government or vote in a one third SDP-filled Parliament. But that might just change depending on how much we are able to tolerate the unaccountable price hikes, rapidly growing foreign workforce from Philippines, India and China in recession time and artificially suppressed wages with spiralling costs of living.’
You see, Shania has a point. The most well educated people from the first world, a sophisticated city state, very well travelled, very well informed, need to be protected from fake news because…They are innocent like children. They could not tell the difference between fake news and real news. It is good that the govt steps in to put in more rules and laws to protect them.
Singaporeans are a pitiful lot. Daft, daft, daft.
Oops, look at this as an alternative truth, Singaporeans are so lucky, being taken care off by a very caring govt, from cradle to grave. They will not be harmed in anyway by sinister and evil people. They are like living in the Garden of Eden, with God protecting them day and night, before Adam ate the fruit from the Tree of Wisdom. Must also tell them what can eat and what cannot eat and what time to go to bed. The children will forever never grow up.
Oops, when can go to the toilet also tell them, and must also paste the fig leaf on when walking about.
PS: The international readers reading this piece of news must be laughing themselves crazy. But this is no joke. It is very serious in Sin City. That is why this is a world class first world city with the best universities in the world. Dunno what they are being taught, but one thing for sure, no need to think.
Need to raise water price by 30% to teach the children the value of water!
