Where is the debate on issues?

The Singapore blogosphere is really the only place where any form of valid and considered debates can happen in this country.

The mainstream media - print and broadcast - has, for a long time now, renounced it's potential role as a trusted opinion leader and has continued to rehash and be the voice of the ruling elite. Not that the ruling elite cannot have this channel. What we are sorely missing the the rest of the cacophony of the conversations we should be having.

The blogosphere is really the best way to get people to start discussing and be the way the "ruling elite" to engage with the population instead of hiding away and "banning" blogs during this crucial period of this country's future.
