Our Internet policies and our attitude towards foreigners are inextricably linked. Our need for foreign investment and immigrants has been defended countless times by the government. The stance the government has taken towards the Internet and towards these peaceful protests therefore seems incongruous. It leads me to think that this is an attempt to control errant Singaporeans who may either influence other Singaporeans through the world wide web or who may be emboldened by the dissatisfaction expressed in Malaysia to similarly express their discontent within Singapore’s borders
