Comeon. There is no change. It is in fact a move to manage internet opinion in the PAP's favour in future elections. One of the key recommendations of AIMs is that the PAP appoints a committee to decide on which films are "intentionally misleading" and banned accordingly. Obviously, the PAP is only going to appoint to the committee, pple who are sympathetic towards the PAP. S0 u can be sure that all SDP films and films which are critical of the PAP will be ruled "intentionally misleading" by the PAP-appoined committee n banned. Only PAP and benign opposition films will be passed.

The result? Whereas all films (including PAP's (in theory, i.e.)) are banned under the current law, with the implementation of the recommendation, the PAP can make all the films they want and put them on the internet while shutting out those critical of the PAP. Duh.

I suspect AIMs was formed bcos some clever pple pointed out that CNA was contravening the law when, prior to the last eleceion, it made and broadcast a series of political films to promote the PAP and its leaders. AIMs was probably tasked to see how the PAP-friendly media can continue to make such political films legitimately while shutting out the critical opppostion such as the SDP.

How more pathetic can Singaporeans get? You don't beg for freedom, you fight for it. The rights to freedom of expression, to a free press, to formation of political parties and unions, to a trial by a jury of your peers, to be free from political persecution, etc, etc. These are your fundamental inalienable rights as a human and as a citizen of a country with a constitution that guarantees these rights.

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

If you do not realize this, whatever political space that the PAP gives you can taken away from you just as easily.
