Hold That Vomit, Please

the truth is rarely pure and never simple said:

Chua also makes the absurd claim that the placing of the white elephants on a road-divider can be 'easily construed as falling within the meaning of "public entertainment" as governed by the Public Entertainment and Meetings Act, and required a licence'. Well, I'm not a lawyer, but I think it is quite obvious that if a licence was required to put up the cut-outs, then I must equally apply for a licence should I decide to stand on Orchard Road with a T-shirt saying 'McShit' or when I tie a yellow ribbon round some road-side tree.

Ha...goodness...I'm no fan of PAP and nor am I a supporter of Ms. Chua Lee Hoong. She writes some good pieces occassionally and though she's worked for the government before, she's hardly one who can't think for herself. But please, if you wanna criticize her or her piece, do so more intelligently. A little less rhetoric and more substance would be nice.
