SINGAPORE - The Singapore Prison Service will give its quarterly newsletter a"more appropriate name" after some people took issue with what it is called currently - Panopticon.Introduced by English philosopher Jeremy Bentham, it is based on the belief that society can be changed through constant surveillance with people regulating their behaviour out of fear.
However, the SPS will conduct an internal review to rename it after receiving feedback from the public. Freelance photographer Joseph Nair, 33, said the naming was"painfully ironic", as the newsletter is positive and bright in explaining policy.
Clearly they need access to a dictionary pronto! Don’t they check the meaning of the word first?!
Thank you
Here is a simple name. Big Brother.
