PM Lee: What future do you want for Singapore?

Then, I think what we are saying is the same, 3boys. Just that you have added another dimension - the different roles we play n our life. For my posts above, I didn’t dissect who I am into the roles I play in my life. While what I say maybe a little different in terms of the words or tone used, but essentially I am saying the same thing.

But you are essentially the same person. Say for instance, your belief in one thing is the same, no matter who you are talking to. What I mean being the same person is I don't say one thing to eg ksp folks but in real life I am not. It doesn't mean that you guys don't know who I am and therefore I paint a different picture of myself and say things that I would not in real life.

Yes, but you will be more restrained or more expressive over the same issues, depending on who you are with.

I had a neighbour who burns incense paper very frequently in their garden. And they will not just burn in a bin but they will use a stick to stir whatever they are burning and flames will shoot up and ashes will be flying all over. With DH I will rant, bloody stupid #*($&%), blah blah blah. But when I bring this issue up with other neighbours, I tone it down, I understand that it is their believes/religion but there should be a better way to go about it, blah blah blah.

But you are still saying the same thing, or rather your view is still the same. Just that how you present the idea is different. And the words chosen are different. Using this as an example, what I am saying would be I shouldn't be telling one thing to my hubby ($&@? Neighbour) but another thing to other neighbors ( oh ok la, never mind...).

How truthful one portrays in the cyberway depends very much on one’s social status lah… if one is an ordinary folk, living an ordinary life, staying in a mass neighborhood, doing what the rest of the ordinary folks are doing; then, of course one is comfortable to be as truthful to share/reveal one’s true self… This, the paradox of socio-psychology, comfortably being among the mass and yet would like to be known of the difference, and yearn to stand out…


Try if one is living in Leedon Park Road or Chatsworth Road, no way he/she is going to rant about his neighborhood in any online forum…

Also, if one is the Chairman of UOB, you think he’ll share/reveal what his work, his office, his colleagues, his neighborhood or his lunch and dinner places?

The higher the social status of a being, the more they have to protect. Another paradox.

Perhaps, but I don't agree that the persona one uses in public is the same one that one uses in private. Therefore, a civil servant should generally not be held to account for his private life but is accountable for what he says in public. And FB, is public.

I personally find the consequences a little too harsh. But well, perhaps killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.
