Big Brother is Coming to Town!
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Big Brother is coming to town!
Big Brother is coming to town!
Big Brother *IS* coming to town!
He's making a list,
He's checking it twice,
He's gonna find out
who's partisan or
Big Brother is coming to town!
He sees you when you're blogging,
He knows when you're "hiding" behind a pseudonym.
He knows when you've been seditious or good,
So be good for goodness sake!
So...You better watch out,
You better not cry
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why.
Big Brother is coming to town!
Little seditious columns,
Truth is distorted.
STOMP-STOMP-STOMP
And more good years!
Big Brother is coming to town!
Little columns terminated
soothingly and calmingly silent.
Newspaper, television
and soon blogs too.
Big Brother is coming to town!
The young and old in Singa land
will have a jubilee.
They're gonna dance with the
raise in bus, taxi and electricity costs.
Oh....You better watch out,
You better not cry.
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why.
Big Brother is comin'
Big Brother is comin'
Big Brother is comin'
To town!
And Big Brother is watching ... YOU!
(Sing along the tune of 'Santa Claus is coming to town')

haha! who's Big Brother???
Big Brother is the face of The Party depicted in George Orwell's 1984. the term "big brother is watching" refers to thoughtcrime, where The Party gets its thought police to clamp down on anybody who might have inclination to think bad about The Party itself.
The party's mottos?
War is Peace.
Freedom is Slavery.
Ignorance is Strength.
It's definitely worth a read. =)
3rd..
whoah.. *claps* perhaps u might wanna provide a link to mr brown?..

Isnt TODAY guilty of politicization of the issue and being partisan by dropping Mr Brown?
I mean Mr Brown gave some private opinions and PAP replied. End of story.
Let the people decide who is right and who is wrong.
Not PAP or Mediacorp.
There is no need to drop Mr Brown and make this issue a political fight between PAP and Anti-PAP.
In fact, it is Mediacorp who is politicising the whole issue. It is Mediacorp who is partisan.
Dear En and Hou
I am impressed that young people today take an interest in political developments and actually have an informed opinion and sharp analysis about how Singapore Inc. is run.
Another book that would be of interest is "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. There are chilling parallels in the way the PAP is developing its own elite leadership the way the Alphas were developed in Huxley's novel.
"Brave New World" is not fiction, it is Uniquely Singapore.
I am Singaporean.
So say we all.
This would not have happen if PAP did not politicise everything deem to their advantage.
PAP should not politicise the media.
I mean it is like PAP have politicise everything including NDP.
But why the need to politicise?
Is controlling Singaporeans right down to the bone that important and advantageous to PAP? Nothing more is important to them?
This would not have happen if the media was not politicise. The determination by PAP to control all things is scary.
They want to control but refuse to be responsible or apologetic when things go wrong is even scarier.
All we ordinary people can do is vote Opposition in every election even if the Opposition loses. I cannot think of any other way to make PAP eat humble pie.
Then no one would have the need to feel fear,tension and paranoid in their own homeland.
PAP has to be Opposition for some time for Singapore's culture and climate to change, that is the only way.
My vote is nothing but many votes is something.Please do not forget today's lesson even if PAP loosen control come GE 2011.
I guess only PAP is right and citizens are wrong in these KIND of situation. These KIND of situation have repeated many times over the years.
What is more scarier is that PAP took the most popular blogger in Singapore to put on chopping block and use it to show as an example to everyone who wants to blog about politics. (Kai Dao: Open Knife)
It is a very good political move by PAP.It has increased the fear factor by many notches. We are back to the 70s & 80s again.
Most probably after this episode, there will be less activity on political blogs and Singaporeans will be apathetic again which PAP always 'advocates'.
Maybe Mr Brown might even fizzle out.
keep up the good work.
Ayah, not enough laughs for me. Keep the politics hilarious, can? The others can go in the notebook.
Please suspend all the Pro PAP Journalists as well for being partisan and politicised.
There are train loads of them. Everyday churning out Pro PAP news until like PAP is God.
They paint Opposition like demons so they are partisan as well.
Please be fair in implementing laws(if any) and policy.
I can name some for you: Chua sisters, Loh Chee Kong, Aaron Low, Nicholas Fang etc.
Please suspend all of them as well.
I find it amusing that (unlike the comments on previous posts), posts directly pertaining to the issue discussed are not signed off.
the Man all got to you already? Shame. (:
Heya... been enjoying your blog, even though you had a painfully long hiatus. Love the Christopher Robin comic... take care and watch out, guys, don't let Big Brother get to you too.
big brother could well be reading this, for all you know.
Guys, standard dropped a little since hiatus leh.
Come on guys y'all can do it!
Hey but you guys realised that we may not be here if the political arena was run differently.
So I guess we'll have to wait and see.
I am actually beginning to feel a tad scared and anxious. Would MOI be next? SOB sob sob.
We study George Orwell's 1984 for lit and will be doing Brave New World too. Chilling dystopias. But thankfully these dystopias are largely one-dimensional and Singapore hasnt degenerated to that extent. But I was definitely appalled when I read that mr brown's column would be suspended...
hey great parody. thanks for making it a big deal. because it really is! but judging from the kind of comments here and on miyagi's and brown's blogs, i would definitely say that changes are in effect, albeit very slowly...
BRAVO, it seems that some people have learnt how to utilize the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V commands!
Before you copyandpaste, perhaps you would like to actually state your point in quoting these articles/links?
I mean, everyone /totally/ loves lack of opinion, don't you?
HEY DONT LEAVE US! CONTINUE! LIKE AFTER YOUR As CAN? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Hey, since there's no comments link for the last post, i'll just blab abit here:
So winnie the pooh's gonna hang in grey and stucked at part 1? haha. all the bestest and stay alive.

Apparently anyone who wrote to TODAY about the mrbrown incident was turned away.The newspaper in question would have nothing to do with the incident.
Yup we're slowly getting to the Oceania stage!
Anyone for conquering Malaysia?lol.
They can't catch all of us.
Not if they have Thought Police.
I'll be Winston,if you'll all be Winstons with me.
I'll get shot in the back of my head in a windowless place where there is no darkness,if only I get to blog about my life,and all the injustice.I'll find a way to let my blog remain.I'll be The Last Persons In Singapore.
I only just finished the book,and it kept me awake ten minutes in bed.
I hate politics.Would never get involved in it if I could.
