AWARE Saga, and AoB(S)
Finally, the AWARE saga is over, or I hope it’s over. It is kind of boring to see “AWARE” on newspaper almost everyday.
I don’t know why. When I saw this AWARE saga, it reminds me of the Association of Bloggers (Singapore) or AoB(S) saga not too long ago. Maybe I shouldn’t call it a saga. I just feel that, this 2 incidents carry a certain level of similarities. Do you agree? I couldn’t explain, but I just feel that they are similar. In both cases, the majorities who are involved/concerned feel that their “freedom” are “hijacked” or “limited” to a certain degree, or, in other words, a belief/concept that they do not totally agree is forced upon them. In both cases, the majorities voiced out openly. In both cases, the majorities, or free will, won it.
I do believe that in both cases, the parties causing the uproar did what they have done with good intention, good hearts. It’s just that they did not carry out their plan in a way that most people agree, and accept.
I actually wanted to write a fun post about this, yet it turns out serious and boring, so sad. By the way, any latest news from AoB(S)? There is no more update in the still-official website since 4th Feb 09. Wondering if it is still active. I am actually thinking, if it becomes active again in the future, will all the “free will” bloggers perform a “COOS stunt” to hijack the committee? Everyone register, arrange people to challenge all positions during EGM, and then take over administration of the association. Sounds fun right? But, whoever take over the association, please remember refund back the registration fee and annual fee to all the bloggers……
The misspent $90,000 should be recovered!
wondering what’s gonna happen now.
