Confucian and stereotypical beliefs have been told to us again and again, and now replaced by the term ‘conservative.’ But how do you encourage plurality when ‘conservativism’ is defined so broadly that everyone is conservative?

Coming back to religious fundamentalism: i am not saying that fundamentalism is prevalent. I am just saying that fundamentalism in the hands of politicians is especially dangerous, especially because we in Singapore tend to believe that whatever they say has to be followed to the word. I am sure there are fundamentalists in Singapore, who believe that every word of the Bible / Koran or any other religious text is literal truth. However, the danger lies in those who can wield rhetoric like a weapon to sway the masses, namely our law professor NMP. Think about Hitler and the Holocaust, on a much smaller scale.
