Annabelle Thong Quotes

“I enjoy talking politics and debating social issues, but I've discovered that unless I want to be sent to a colony for social lepers, I better keep some of my made-in-Singapore opinions to myself. Freedom of expression may be sacred here, yet I can't help but feel that if you trangress the limits of what the French deem ideologically acceptable, the only person you'll be expressing your opinions to will be yourself. Or the likes of Jean-Marie Le Pen or some old lady in Alsace who lives in a forest and breeds Rottweilers. The alternative to self-censorship is social exclusion, which may be less draconian than imprisonment, but the net effect is pretty much the same. (p. 152)”
