Let's do this the Social Studies way, shall we? (tries to remember what Ms Koh taught in class.)
This picture depicts a man, namely an ex-convict trying to land himself a job in the civil service. However, he is blocked by a (abnormally) large ribbon called the Yellow Ribbon Movement..
Or something along those lines. You get the gist.
On a more serious note, this was seen @ http://seijieiga.blogspot.com, where various Singapore politicial cartoons are shown. Some of them have quite some substance in them. Back to the picture, it's basically a situation where by the ex-convict tries to land himself a job in the civil service (The Government) but can't cause the Yellow Ribbon's blocking him. The irony is that the Yellow Ribbon is started and very much supported by the Government but yet they do not allow ex-convicts to enter the civil service as employees. So that's more or less the whole gist. They tell the public sector to give the ex-convicts a second chance by giving them a job, but they themselves don't seem to able to do it themselves.[Don't get me wrong, I've nothing against convicts. I think they all deserve a second chance, like all of us do.]
Food for thought.
