More about Democracy

Hi, Kirk here.
I agree with Daniel has said and I'd like to add on. I think one very unique thing about democracy is that it listens to even the tiniest voice. A government definitely needs to do what the majority wants because otherwise, there will be a huge public outcry. But if it decides to ignore the cries of the minority groups in Singapore, or worse still, suppress their cries, then there will never be stability in our nation. Instead, a government needs to be willing to listen to the cries of the minority groups and then find a way to satisfy them or turn them down for the good of the nation.
Thanks
Kirk
