make a decision today

i was going to write about today's maths test, but i think this is more important. i don't know if anyone reads this blog, but i hope this works. has anyone been following the news about ike, whose petition to defer from national service has not been successful? this blog has a compilation of the news articles as well as the forum letters regarding this issue: http://kwayteowman.blogspot.com/2006/05/alamak-let-kid-go-learn-violin-lah.html

i don't really write about politics in my blog, but something mr lim said today at syo prompted me to write about this. the way i see it is that singapore's government really doesn't have support for the arts scene. i must insist that anyone who reads this should go and watch the next syo concert and see for yourself what a big mistake mindef is making in not granting ike's deferment. (this is not a gimmick to advertise for the concert.)

pray that i won't go to jail for writing about politics, but i do think that something's wrong with the government. sign the petition for ike by visiting the website below. sign it, and ask everyone you know to consider this issue too. http://www.petitiononline.com/ike_see/petition.html

thanks.

Hi Ivan,

Dun have to be so scared about highlighting things that you think are wrong with our society.

As long as you write about facts and do not defame anyone and do not make racist or seditious remarks, I think you will be safe.

Dun worry, if the KTM gets hauled up by ISD and locked up, you will hear about it one. When then happens, then you can get scared. For now, dun have to be so kuncheong one. :-)
