See as I see.

The riot has taken Singapore's media outlets by storm.

This is my personal review some of the things I've seen and read online.

Racial slurring. And a good variety of it. Ranging from slamming the Indian community in Singapore to the "tamed" blaming of Foreign labour forces. I think we all agree that narrow minded accusations are involved in this. It isn't even worth the time elaborating or responding to such people- they are emotionally fueled, clearly without full reasoning abilities and a general smear of the media savvy community.

The peace lovers who go make love, not war. Encouraging their viewers to embrace the fellow laborer in their difficult times. One even used it to link up his personal song cover under the guise of this. These people, I rarely see in real life. Because when I do meet them, they are nothing like what they preach. I'd say it is hypocritical, but it isn't- it is a moral justification for their personality. An outpost for them to declare to the world: "I am a wonderful and lovely human being who embraces everyone and brings smiles everywhere." They mention hardships where they have felt none. Commonly self indulgent in their goodness and moral compasses in life only by paying lip service. I believe they are the most self centered folks, who do not hold any significant contribution in assessment of anything. I used to be like that- not anymore.

The social commentators- the one who tries to pin the blame of the events on whoever was involved. Someone needs to be at fault, even if that someone is no one specifically. These are the folks who are critics. Reasoning and backing their claims. It is what the schools have taught us to do. It is intellectual and does provide a small amount of insight into what has occurred. But it does nothing for the aftermath. The jaywalker shouldn't have jay walked, the rioters shouldn't have become what they were,they police should've done this, the place should've been like that. They have the solution to everything- except, they can't see the future. It is one level up from spreading common sense, I suppose.

The case makers, they are the "reliable ones" with articles backing them up. Coming in late with their arguments constructed well. BBC, dailymail and other new agencies go through their cross examinations to find a key root. They emphasize on a point which is logical and important- something out of the box. These are our A students. They find perspectives to reason the situation. Our South Asian workforce coming from unreliable governance- using vigilante force to achieve their justice in revenge of their fellow countrymen. They have never felt the Singapore justice. These people give us a sense of security, because they know what they are talking about.

The ones who just don't care. For whatever reasons: selfish, troublesome, above it all, someone else will settle. They are highly individualistic in their own lives and continue to be so- unless it impacts them directly. These are the wild cards , you don't know if they have their own comments or they are empty headed.

These are the people we have around us. Some in larger numbers than others. I identify with all because emotion, reasoning and logic all run through the same course before we can ever find a way to make sense of anything. Yet we forget that the media does nothing to affect the truth except distort it. 

Information is personal and realities are taken in the way an individual wants to take it. Ideological truths are never universal- they are personal. Just remember that.
