You think in our region, it is a Alice in Wonderland environment?
Go study our history in this Malay archipelago region...

Our independence was not one that can be taken for granted...

As for the younger sgrean, never think what we have now will always be here...
No one will take it away once we foolishly follow US democracy blindly like some people wishes for.

Many were bought into believing the American is the good guy, until their own news media began to show what the American did on Middle East.

“It’s like when the tide subsides we get to see who has not put on a swimming costume….” This saying I learnt from the Taiwanese😅

I see many comments that democracy is bad because US did this and that.

Democracy did not make US do those things. Democracy is just a system.of govt ..what decisions leaders make in the system ban be good or bad.
Democracy does not force you to make.good or bad decisions. It just has check and balance of power.

If u say democracy is bad...the dictatorships are worse look at Hitler look at Stalin look at Musoullini. At least in a democracy there js a way to remove the person in power before he caused more damage.

There are many examples of democratic countries that live peacefully and in harmony.

I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

"I see many comments that democracy is bad because US did this and that."

Not democracy is bad. I said US is not democratic.

Democracy includes human right. Human right includes human life, which is the first priority, is protected. Is human life protected in US?

US Covid infection reached 50 million and 815,000 deaths reaching 1 million very soon. Heard of "I can't breathe"? How many die every year due to guns and weapons? Life and death also not cared, how to talk about human right and democracy?

So US cannot be the one deciding who is democratic and who is autocratic. Right?

Which democratic country in yours opinion is peaceful and harmony? Care to share?

Lastly, is SG not peaceful and harmony?

A Dialogue on Democracy 李世默：如果美国不改变，自由这个词就不配放在民主前面

12月2日，“中外学者谈民主”高端对话会在北京举行。清华大学战略与安全研究中心中国论坛副理事长李世默，对自由主义政体衡量民主的标准提出质疑：当下世界之所以出了问题，是因为如今自由主义已经不能服务于民主了，是时候重新审视“自由”和“民主”的关系了。
