Quotable quotes

an ang-mo noted this when he was in a Community Club during an event where a Minister was the GOH one Sunday morning...

"If Singapore is really a dictatorship, why do the Ministers bother spending their Sunday mornings walking through throngs of 'common' people at these seemingly meaningless events? why do they bother sacrificing their sleep to shake hands with the public and listening to their opinions? i'm sure they have much better things to do than to sit through these badly choreographed performances. why... they could just shoot every dissenter? Perhaps Singapore isn't really that undemocratic afterall..."

right... not exactly what that person said. but... the spirit of the message is there...
