I think they are too used to have full control of everything. And we all know that you can't have full control of the new media. Yes, it is going to be interesting to see the outcome of all these. It will be a good case study for those who are into new media communications. :) Eric: Nice of you to drop by. :)

But as with anything, the devil is in the details, and I did not get the impression that the government has the necessary risk tolerance to enter into discussions it does not control. On the one hand, they look at what happened in Malaysia and worry that something like that could happen to them. On the other hand, there does not seem to be much understanding or appreciation for empowering the community to define your identity. It will be fascinating to see how the growth of social media takes place in Asia. Will it grow like it has in the West, or will the solution be uniquely Singaporean?
