Petition for the immediate withdrawal of the Licensing Regime

For those who do not care to protest about the implications of a new legislation simply because they feel it will never affect them or has not affected them yet, perhaps this quote by Martin Niemöller is worth pondering on. Policies that they feel are not going to affect them, would eventually plaque them at some point of time in the future when it would be too late to change anything.

Try to be more informed and empathise about how the implications are going to affect you as a reader who has a sound mind of seeking the truth, or as an aspiring blogger/writer/creative artist.

Avoid this 'not in my backyard' mentality before it's too late.

There is no excuse for giving up on petitioning and protesting simply because we have gotten too immune to a high-handed government who sneakily force policies down our throats without seeking our consent despite our position as tax paying citizens (i.e. their shareholders of Singapore) whom they have to account for.

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
