Who says Singaporeans can’t rap?
by Carmen Van Kerckhove
This is too awesome. Angry Asian Man’s take on it cracked me up:
What… I don’t… There are no words. It’s from Singapore.
Oh well that explains it all - it’s from Singapore.

The you tube gadget links to video of Lee Kuan Yew censoring an art student. He’s all like, ‘tell me what I will not let you say, and see if I enforce the law.’ Some singaporeans can be such gangster’s, others can too but only to the extent that it fits within the national agenda.

You know, just yesterday I was asking myself “What do people from Singapore call themselves?” Seriously, I’d never heard the word “Singaporeans.”
Anyway, I like that these corporate types have a sense of humor. (Would Steve Jobs or the Google guys ever get down like this?) I would rather watch this video than see MC (Karl) Rove trying to get jiggy.

thing with this whole pr stunt that singapore’s media development authority is trying to do… like justin mentioned, this agency imposes censorship laws in regards to the media, silencing those who may not hold the same ideals as the nationalists. i mentioned this briefly here: http://fobbdeep.com/?p=235
