Garment



No, we're not talking about clothes today.

Today, we're playing with fire.

This fire involves SHUTting UP AND SITting DOWN, and how the garment stood idly by letting it happen.

For those who haven't heard the clip, I've edited it into a video for you.




You need to turn the volume way up to be able to hear clearly. But no matter how loud you crank up the volume, you won't be able to hear Sally Ang's apology (because she refused to).

Some dude said, at that point in time, that the garment will not do anything about it, because blah blah blah blah blah, which when translated into our non-elite and caring language means "None of my business."

But now, some other dude's come up with "the *censored* has to maintain order impartially. It encourages the development of civic society, and gradual widening of the out—of—bounds (OB) markers. But it will not stand by and watch, when intemperate activism threatens Singapore society"

That's like me saying that you falling down in front of me is not my business, but I will not stand by and watch you fall down.

Umm hmm.

I get this feeling that the garment didn't want to get involved in the first place because it involves a major religion. What if the secular organisation was really taken over by the mutants from COOS? There was this possibility, and the garment stood by to let it happen.

What if it was a minority religion take took over the organisation? Would the garment immediately step in or stand by as they did the major one?

Food for thought. Hmmm.
