I just read the report on his meeting with PM Lee by Andrew Loh.

Frankly I am disappointed,I feel that PM Lee had not seized the golden opportunity to get a group of fairly responsible bloggers to try to inform the blogging community about his sincerity to want to have a serious National Conversation with the new media community so the whole nation can really engage in a serious discussion this time.

But from that report,it is obvious that PM Lee's main objective was to convince the very responsible bloggers handed picked by PAP that the comments in the new media must follow the style of the MSM,put your IC,name,address,etc
I am sure PM Lee does not want a National Conversation like the MSM forums,letters to editors.

This meeting would be no different from Bloggers meeting with Tony Tan-PAP candidate for President or some other fact finding meetings by other Ministers,which I am sure would not satisfy the PAP.
