- Hong Lim Park might seem like any other park in Singapore, but it has one thing that no other park has - a Speakers' Corner.
But what is the significance of having a Speakers' Corner? We find out.

I love how the pledge says to build a democratic society instead of to maintain a democratic society lol
because it was a colony before it gained independence?
that why many democractic countries failed. Because they participate and never maintain like Singapore in the upcoming GE.
Nope, this is a heavily-controlled 'free speech'.
1st. You need to register the topic beforehand for the permit.
2nd. Just for that, it's already censored.
3rd. Even if you get the permit, it's heavily monitored by the authorities.
4th. Other than the 4 rules stated in the video, there's one more hidden rule: "No criticism of the government".
Free speech uncontrolled is bad. Like other countries, things people say incited violence
Ah please don’t lie, this seemed as sign of freedom it’s not. We still must be discreet when speaking too.
amazing
That guy has more book than I have had in my whole life 😅
This isn't actually protesting. You're technically voicing an opinion but...
This isnt a protest, but its more like a joining event of people who share similar thought about certain things...Protest is like ousting somebody....

I was a foreign student in Singapore more than a decade ago, but i had rarely seen political party held debates about their policy infront of the public...All i can remember is PAP...I have no idea if there was any valid parties running for elections...
Protest what protest
Singapore is practically the only first world country that's an authoritarian state but not in the same sense as China or Russia. You have more freedom in Singapore than the two places that I just mentioned.
Lol 👍💪💪
No homo😑
free speech ,lol more like jail terms
The only way to chaos and cesspool is if the government were to give freedom of speech and people will not curb themselves when speaking.
Voice out also No point. Talk also No use. Haha
In the end go jail.
Protest? I've never think it is allowed
If voicing out our opinions can change something then people would do it more
more like being locked up in a toilet
So we should have portest and cause a mess for Singapore is it?
@@limlisa it is a 'mess' to the dictatorship regime authoritarian elite that wants to hold on to power, but not to the wishes of the grassroots, people and democracy
@@firstcommenter202 firstly there is no dictatorship unless you are talking about north korea. Democracy can become dictatorship too as last time Hilter is typical example. The problem lie in that all political parties are in for power dont be naive. Democracy will only work with rational voters and political parties who dont play political games but in reality is not possible. I dont care democracy or not most important is what work and ensure stability of the country.
@@limlisa Do you know Singapore press freedom ranking is 160th? It is worse than Malaysia. You are just a fascist that support authoritarianism and dictatorship. You should move to North Korea.
Too much of anything isn't good including democracy. Some people promote democracy not because they have something solid to contribute, but they are attention seekers.
In Singapore there is no freedom it's police state country. Most strict country in the WORLD.
Most strict country in the world, is quite exaggerating.
Clearly you have never been to China
@@waflwiro or she never read the news about North Korea.
As if other countries have no police and people can do whatever they want. Why not you go to NKorea. The citizens there can't even get out from their country. So stop BS about Singapore.
To be honest, I agree that Singapore is the most strict country in the world.
Compulsory education? Not really in the US
Compulsory national service? Not in the US
No chewing gum? Not even in the ENTIRE WORLD
Protest sounds so Dirty, Wrong, Immoral . We must obey
Okay, bootlicker. If you want to be a slave, that is okay, but I will never be a slave of any government because since the time we are born, we are free.
