The cartoonist's role is not so much to instruct his audience, or illuminate the Truth, as it is to simply take an honest stand and present it vehemently enough so that it must be confronted. This constitutes the power of the cartoon to stimulate discussion and debate. And this is the cartoon's positive function in society-Bill Watterson

It is always embarassing to see how the BIG GUNS have to be out, and "punishment" meted out when we are doing what Singaporeans like to do -COMPLAIN and CRITICISE. I thought it is with criticisms come improvements...but I guess this recent episode just showed that we can criticise, but keep it hush-hush out of the "mainstream" media..
just stick your head in the sand..hush hush!out of sight, out of mind, Mr Ostrich
