The honourable Minister said that meet the people session is not the place to protest. He is correct & I agree.
But where is the place then?
Whats happening in Gaza is the biggest humanitarian issue today affecting the entire world - the same world which our ministers keep saying we cannot insulate ourselves from, for our own survival.
And yet Singaporeans are to insulate ourselves from the Gaza humanitarian catastrophe as if its not happening. You're not allowed to say or put on anything that implies support for the people of Palestine fighting for their independence from Israel's violent occupation. As how Singapore once fought for our independence. In school, you're only supposed to know that the conflict started on 7 Oct 2023 by a bunch of terrorists attacking innocent people for no reason - to the extent that MOE teachers had to go online to express their disagreement.
And yet, our ministers openly say we are committed to a Palestinian state, if that ever happens. But citizens must keep quiet.
And somehow, on the divisive issue of LGBTQIA++, rallies at Hong Lim Park is not a problem.
The same happened during the 2003 invasion of Iraq where protests against the illegal war was banned (because the masses knew that the US lied to make a case for war)... & it turned out that the masses were correct - there was no WMD afterall.
