Ministers will always say that they had provided the clause for exception. But our history and culture frowns on exception since order and obedience is expected.

You look at REACH the so call attempt to reach out to hear the voices of citizens. In the end it's about getting masses to conform and degrading any feedback as noise from the ground. It went so bad that at one of the GE LHL had to in a way apologize for his team's performance and ask for mandate (yet to fail again and no more apologies needed since he had done so once...).

That's why I often advocate that doing what's right even if it's insubordination is what we should do. Of course, it need not be violent way of insubordination but try to do so in a nice way (of saying no to authorities and not outright telling them they suck or are idiots). But again, that is a price to everything and if you truly think it is right, then pay the price even if it cost you.
