A new government has taken office in the UK. It is a coalition government formed by the Conservative and the Liberal Democratic party. The new Prime Minister David Cameron said, "It will be an administration based on three key principles - freedom, fairness and responsibility".
I am heartened by these key principles and hope that Singapore will also aspire towards them. Here are some changes that have to be done in Singapore:
1. Freedom: allow people to express their views freely, without being sued for damages when they give any honest, negative opinion.
2. Fairness: reduce the wide disparity in income and ensure that people can seek justice, even if they do not have the money to engage lawyers
3. Responsibilty: take action to correct any flaws, instead of pushing the responsibility from one agency to another.
