while i adamantly refuse to ever be part of e sporean govt, which kinda quashes my foreign affairs hopes, and do see certain areas in which i think e spore govt is lacking in, like their unwillingness to approach the topic of human rights and their pacifist stance in the international scene. i genuinely don't agree with criticisms on e fact tt spore is one-party state. i mean if you want to pick on the faults of spore govt in their actions and policies - fine by me. i have my criticisms on that too. but when people believe that spore govt is flawed simply because its a one-party govt. then i think its too superficial a view to take and a slightly skewed view. just because we are an asian country and we are a one-party state, that does not mean we are just like china and communists okay -.- sighs. sometimes when i defend spore when these kinda arguments come up, i wonder when did i get so patriotic -rolls eyes-
