Our alternative to a free press.

Generally, people who work in the media industry are people who are more informed about what is actually happening in the political landscape of Singapore, simply because of the nature of their job.

Some truly believe what is painted to them.
Some chose to remain silent, so that they do not destroy their rice bowl with their own hands.
Others chose to let their moral values get ahead of them and write articles on their perspectives, risking their career.

But there is one group of people who are able to voice out the oppressed information within them. They are the people who have left the media industry. They are not afraid of what they used to be afraid of - To lose their job because they allowed their morals to get the better of them. Now, they are able to give us, citizens, accurate information and what was censored from the media before. These are the people who have a genuine interest for Singapore to improve as a nation, who believe in media transparency, and a free press. (assuming they have no hidden agenda behind releasing their accounts.)

These are the people whom you should be looking out for. Their views are critical, because they know more than what we do.
