An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
The MOE has revised the upper secondary social studies syllabus with the proclaimed objective of promoting "active citizenship and critical thinking".
Part of the updated content include a case study of the Little India Riot in 2013.
As the account conjured up by MOE goes, within minutes of the outbreak of the riot, the police was informed and the Civil Defence Force was activated. Subsequently, Special Ops Command was deployed and the crowd dispersed.
The authorities' swift action, according to MOE, shows the importance the PAP Government places on maintaining internal order in Singapore.
Anyone who has followed the COI in the aftermath of the riot would have noticed that a large chunk of the events is missing in MOE's account.
