The Show with PJ Thum S01E04 - How the PAP Nanny State creates Dependence and Controls Citizens

Historian Thum Ping Tjin ("PJ") explains how the People's Action Party in Singapore, through purposeful social design since the 1960s, has created a system through which the state is able to intimately interfere in peoples lives and create public dependence on the state; and how this dependence on the state then makes people afraid to speak up or oppose the government. Subtitles: English, 简体中文 (Simplified Chinese), Bahasa Melayu (Malay) On Operation Coldstore and the PAP: https://newnaratif.com/podcast/the-sp... N.B.: This video was filmed 28 January 2020.
