Seriously, I do love this little red dot I am living in, even though been complaining about it endlessly..But hey, the fact that I complained is becuz I cared kk...I would have heck care if I dun give a damn about my own country..
But come to think of it, does our government cares whether we love our country or not? I seriously do not think so..Personally, I feel that our gov is obsessed with trying to clinch the No. 1 position in many of the world class findings rather than to concentrate on making life better for their citizens..I guess in their heart, they oredi made our life better as compared to 40+yrs ago when Singapore was juz founded..
No doubt we are indeed leading a much better life now, but hey, you cannot juz stop there n let us decline while you try to compete with the other big ass countries for the No.1 position rite??
You wanna make our country more competitive and hence opent the floodgate to foreigners reducing our wages in the process..Then on the other hand, inflation goes up..How is it that our life is gonna gets better with this?
You may attract foreign companies to invest and set up branches here, but at the end of the day, the bulk of the employees in these companies are not true-blue Singaporeans! They will be the cheaper FT..So you are juz providing the oredi limted space for them to come set up company and employ their own plp...Why do this?Why waste our land?
I used to be a loyal supporter of our government b4 this election..Books in sch taught me how the MIW make Singapore a better place to live in, how we progressed ahead of the other countries despite hafin a late start..I was convinced back then we had the best government in the world though there were complaints of being autocratic instead of like wat our pledge say "To bulit a democratic society", the high pay of our office holders were justified bak then to me as there will doing a good job, but these days, I feel its juz a waste of the taxpayers monies...
Had the quality of the office holders dropped as compared to the older generation or had the expectations of the younger generations grew higher as compared to our older generation? I dunno, it maybe both...
The policies that our government had in place were sort of secretive to us commoners, with us finding out when its too late (Floodgate incident), finding out by word of mouth (PRC telling me my gov sponsored their studies here), finding out in time but with no say (they went ahead with building extension line to JB where they cannot even managed the SG line properly)..
With all these disappointments, 1 cannot blame us for turning our backs to the gov and instead start to show support for the other parties..They, in turn are able to point out and relate to the everyday problem we faced instead of telling us to stop whinning and accept the fact..
If the gov cannot even bother to listen to their citizens and want us to listen to them onli, then I think its time for us to get some voices to go tell them to wake up their idea..
When the time comes, I hope it will realli be like wat is said in our pledge that I used to recite every day when in school "So as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our Nation...
