      they are still living in pre 1965, paranoid about racial riots and Japanese atrocity and stuff like that?

      Older generation are in fact the more politically active Singaporeans in the 1950s and 60s.

      PAP had to really fight in elections to win their support, not like the charade we have now.

      The post 1965 generation, which grew up under the one party hegemony of PAP are less politically active.

      Partly due to propaganda and partly due to the education system.

      you say they're easily cheated by pap propoganda.

       

      They say YOU'RE easily cheated by opposition propoganda.

       

      To assume you're wiser than them is just hubris.

      I have read both PAP and opposition propaganda.

      I find opposition propaganda more sincere and truthful.

      It's more like they're scared of Government, or any civil servant. The old mindset..

      I don't like the description from 3rd world to 1st.

      Too propagandist and pompous for me.

      i suspect that could be cos they received info from only one source - the gahmen-controlled media. other sources of info were not so easily available to them. with the internet the younger generation has become better informed and thus not so easily brainwashed by others.
