"4) What does your logo stand for?

The box is supposed to stand for the Pandora box, like opening up a world of possibilities. As for inside the box, what you can see is just the tip of the ice berg. Meaning, there are unlimited possibilities in business and technology, and we are so far only witnessing a very small part of it."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I can see why the Internet is Pandora's box for Singapore. Web 2.0 gives every citizen the power to create and propagate seditious content, undoing 40 years of nation building and inciting race riots, leading to the collapse of this country.

Yet, the saving grace is that wholesome, healthy content can still be spread online. Ergo laudable initiatives such as STOMP.

Pandora's Box-The Myth

"According to Edith Hamilton in Mythology the source of all misfortune was Pandora's curiosity. "The gods presented her with a box into which each had put something harmful, and forbade her ever to open it. Then they sent her to Epimetheus, who took her gladly although Prometheus had warned him never to accept anything from Zeus. He took her, and afterward when that dangerous thing, a woman, was his, he understood how good his brother's advice had been. For Pandora, like all women, was possessed of a lively curiosity. She had to know what was in the box. One day she lifted the lid­and out flew plagues innumerable, sorrow and mischief for mankind. In terror Pandora clapped the lid down, but too late. One good thing, however, was there­Hope. It was the only good the casket had held among the many evils, and it remains to this day mankind's sole comfort in misfortune."
