We need to have good people taking the lead. Singaporeans need to see good people coming forward with initiative.

Taking the lead can mean joining an opposition party and starting groundwork, speaking up using all channels available, etc. What we need are articulate and presentable individuals coming forward and taking the plunge themselves.

The first ones taking the plunge will invariably be those who make the greatest sacrifices. Because in the initial stages, it is easier for the govt to clamp down on opposition. And also, it is easy for people to ridicule and cast aspersions on someone who dares step out of the *collective* comfort zone and do something different.
