today is the so called "total defence day"... had a so called "celebration" at the officer mess... had some presentation... as usual... they talk abt the 5 defences tt make up the total defence... no need mi to say lah hor.. all of u should noe... then we have a debate on topics like should we have free press in sg and etc lah... at the end of the debate... our C.O (Commanding Officer) gave us a speech... and he said something which i really agree alot...
do we really have free press in sg? not really ba... yes its true tt press media always got lots of so called "rubbish" to report... but do u noe tt they can actually report all this as long as they have the facts to back up wat they report? haha... i was shock to hear tt too cos i always tot media always anyhow report onli.. no need check also can accuse u liaoz... but later in the speech my C.O say tt there is something muz more powerful than the press media... and wat is it? it's us... the bloggers... our press media like strait times watever they publish will onli be seen and read by readers in sg... as a blogger... watever u type and publish it wont be read by ppl in sg onli... it's published to the whole wide world... and so u can imagine how big the diff is compare to the newspaper tt we read every single day... tt's y we can see cases like bloggers been charge lah and blah blah blah... it's becos of this point... thou blog is ur own private free space... but watch out... there are still ppl who is out to see wat u type and report u as long as they see wat u blog and they dun agree with it... i remember once seeing somebody's blog toking abt this topic regarding bloggers been charge for writing sensitive topics in their blog... it's not say u cannot say or blog down wat u tink... it's juz tt... u got to becareful... u wanna blog abt something sensitive and dun wanna get urself into trouble... use the correct words... choose ur words correctly... but still.... if someone is out to get u for tt... u still can hardly write away wan lah... juz fellow bloggers... juz becareful the next time u start blogging abt something real sensitive... things like... religion... politics... company stuff... its all the killer issuse tt can get u charge in court without knowing..
