Regulation of political commentary on the Internet in Singapore

Modern technology make it possible to give political comments on the internet. But if it is good and suitable togive political comments to the government through the Internet in Singapore? People may have different ideas about this things. But I think that it is good to use internet to show political ideas. And the governments should not stop political commentary on the Internet in Singapore. I think that this is good to the goverments and can make citizens more active and give good ideas to the government and country.

We all know that the Internet is good and large stage to supply a wonderful place to make people talk about their own ideas and comments. So Internet is good place to let people talk about the political questions.

Not all the citizens are work in the government and can talk about the political questions in the government. But they still have their own ideas about the politics and countries. On the Internet, people can talk about this kind of questions in an informal way. But this kind of conversation and advices are with a lot of values. The political commentary can give the governors some ideas and advice of the commen citizens. Those comments reflect the people’s need. So these are good to the country’s development. When some new regulations are promulgated, the governments can get the feedbacks from people through the Internet to observe if the regilations are good to people. People can also find some corruption and give advices to the leaders . For sometimes the governments cannot find out their own shortages, but the people can. So the Internet provides a space for the citizens to comment on and supervise the governments.

Secondly, the Internet can make the citizens more active. The citizens are the basic part of the society. And the citizens have the rights and freedom on speechs and commentary. After the Internet provides the stage, people can talk about their own thoughts. This makes the people take part in the politics and makes people more active in politics. More people take part in the discussion, more ideas will be heard about. When the government meets troubles, it can also ask the way to solve it from the citizens. So actually more people take part in the ‘governments’ with the Intermet. And so many people’s power can accelerate the country’s development. The people can also be more unite. This is especially important in the multi-cultural country like Singapore.

But some people or governors may be afraid that there will be many rubbish information and advices. I think that this kind of things cannot be avoided for the internet is an open and large area. But contrast with the benefits, the shortages are very tiny.

After the analysation, we can find that the political commentary is very important and useful to the government and country. It can make the governments know more about itself, make more people take part in the politics. It also supply a place for advices and supervise. Besides, it makes citizens more active and gather people’s power. All these can make the country develop faster and make people get more benefits. So I think that the political commentary on the Internet is very important and should not be prevented.
