Big Brother agrees to turn a blind eye in Singapore

[dArKeR]

Singapore, a byword for big-brother authoritarianism, is to shake off its repressed image by adopting new measures to free up the lives of its citizens.

The city state has accepted 60 of the 74 steps that a special committee recommended last year to open up the tightly-controlled society and broaden people's horizons, local media reported on Friday.

But many of the "Remaking Singapore" measures will result in government agencies still dominating people's lives and some are little more than cosmetic, particularly with regard to the arts and freedom of expression.

Schools and colleges will have more flexibility in the students they accept, and rules for the registration of new societies and associations will be relaxed.

Singapore is and always will be a NSA/CIA Branch Office.
