IMF's here...

It's a good thing IMF's here, cuz S'pore has spent time 4 this event.
There will be profit(abt S$100M) and much media coverage.

However, as i read the newspapers this morning, the first critisisms that the heads of IMF have is that S'pore should relax it's rules of protesting in public. They say that protesting has been a 'culture' of every IMF meetings. One of them even threaten, saying that future IMF meeting will not be held in S'pore cuz of it's 'strict and inability to bend the rules slightly'.

From here on, it's going to be my argument, so if u don't like reading long and boring arguments that does not matter to you, you can stop reading here...<--

Here goes...

I think it's a bunch of bullshit.

Let me give u an analogy. For example, you have a house with your families living for a couple of decades with strict rules to follow. You invite your friends for a party. You prepare the party for them. You clean up the house, decorate it till it's spanking new. Now during the party, it's a tradition to break stuff (e.g. Glasses, bowls, plates). However, as a traditional asian family, breaking stuff isn't a good thing. In fact, it's symbolises bad luck. So what do you do?? The party has to confine to the rules of the house, isn't it? Or else the family won't be happy, and the host has the 'power' to do more daring stuff, like breaking ur favorite vase or an antique mirror. Of course, the family can 'break' the rules for a day, but being asian, it isn't really 'us' to break rules.

It's like Michael Fay (If i get the name right) all over again. A bit of bish bash bosh, a bit of argument, then everyone just forget about it.

S'pore prepared for the visit. S'pore relaxed its rules a bit. What more do you want...?

That's the problem with western ppl (i meant some, not all). They think that things can be solved easily and take life as simple as possible. Live life easily. But there are things in life that have strict rules and need to comply with them. You know what i mean...

Why do Western ppl have more power than us...? I still have 'no idea'...
