Diary of an Island

Today's Today cover story reports the results of a government survey on S'porean political involvement... or lack thereof. While 43.2% of the 500 people surveyed have "discussed politics in an informal settion", it seems like only around 6% have done other things like write a letter to the newspaper, joined a civil society organisation or spoken to an MP about government policy. I suppose I'm one of the 5% by being involved in several civil society groups and participating in the Feedback Unit's Government Consultation Portal.

I did try to find the original survey done by the MCYS' Political Development Feedback Group, but no luck on either of the above websites.
