Let's not be naive about this. Freedom of expression on the Internet is only tolerated because it is obvious on which side the cost benefit analysis falls. If we were China, this government will control it like the CCP. So it isn't because they were willing to cede control but because they have no means to. If one day it becomes possible for them to do so, they will make it happen.
Like Sun Yat Sen, the only rational response toward the Qing Empire is to run. You don't fight the G, you win the people. Bertha, it might interest you to know that Dr. Sun was a very good fund raiser too, and no, he didn't take them on board as shareholders.
If you are a bacteria and the germ fighter have microscopes you better turn yourself into a virus when they still do not have electron microscopes. That is what Breakfast Network is doing. Alternatively you could become a hardy spore and wait till the right conditions to prevail before germinating again. They are choosing to be both. To rise from the dead is a time tested strategy for success by waiting for the right conditions to act. This is also the WP strategy which the PAP kept baiting and provoking them with no results.
Yes, Breakfast Network is another canary in the mine. That canary just died and what a shocking way to show what a baddie MDA is. This is exactly like what my mom told me as a kid when I wanted to put a sparrow in a cage. She told me it would die because such birds are meant to be free.
Just as Chris Tan knows land transport better than anyone at LTA, BH also knows this space better than any at MDA. So the forms weren't onerous to fill? The hell you know MDA.

Wonder how come MDA is not embarrassed. Not only are they clueless they are also downright stupid. Quite a few leaders in MDA ought to be dismissed from their jobs. They really don't know what they are doing and this is so public. Any leader who defends MDA position I must also conclude needs to have his head examined whether he or she could reason logically. Where is the clear headedness they were famous for?

A sample of feedback on CNA on this subject. MDA has been so unbelievably obtuse.
