Happy Birthday Singapore. It’s our national day. Actually, I don’t really have the mood I used to have years ago. I remember that years ago, I am really proud to be a Singaporean. Proud that our national, small yet powerful. Small yet united, small yet successful. All these thought was gone. Let me tell you why…
Firstly and the main reason, too many foreign ‘talent’. Is there really a need for so many “foreign talent” in our humble nation? I doubt so. We must think of all the social problem that they might bring. Look at how much case the police handle everyday due to fighting cause by them. (according to a few of the NPC friends that I have). Look at the litter problem cause by them. Look at We, the citizen of Singapore feels. Seriously, is the garment turning a blind eye to our cries? How useful they are, 2M a month. Not even hearing what the citizen have to say and just says “we have to accept them with OPEN HEART”. Easy for you to say, we don’t have 24hr body guards to protect us. Duh! (But I have a 24 hr awake God J )
2ndly, the living expenses, Singapore is rated the top 10 most expensive city to live in. In S’pore, we live in Highly Dangerous Building, take bus to get Squeeze By Suckers. If you are rich enough, you might take a cab and go through Every Road Pay. If you don’t like either of that, you can take the Mad Rush Train. If you want a private vehicle like a car, you need a Cash only Entitlement to own it. In the end, we are a Pay and Pay city. Every guy must go through National Slavery.
3rdly, the limited choice of service providers. Here everything has no competitors. The bus has no competitors, the telecom has no competitors, the school have no competitors. Everything belongs to a company call temas**k holding. Which is owned by the garment.
4thly, the lack of customer rights. My father got cheated by a bloody shop in Jurong West St 43, near the market. They bloody cheated my dad over $100+. I called up case, log a report, and they NEVER get back to me. By right, I can do a small claim law suit by suing the shop for damages buy I am too lazy to do so. I simply call up the shop, threaten them a fair bit. Then next day, the money was returned to my dad. All the work, I did myself. Where is case? They are bunch of idiots who sit there do nothing at gets pay. Good job. That’s our tax money by the way.
In conclusion, if the garment continue to ignore the voices of its people, you will end up with all the foreign talent that you had imported. The older generations that build the nation, garment suggest they retired in Malaysia. What a joke. They build this national so that we, the next generation can enjoy, and they, the last generation can take a rest from what they had build and enjoy. Research shows that the current generation of S’pore, the one with the higher qualification has lesser sense of belonging. (Source: yahoo news). I totally feel that way.
Near to 5% of the current generation had migrated. 10% of them have the thought of migrating. S’pore is only 45 years old. If this continues, by the time of 60, 50% of the citizen has the plan of migrating. LOL.
Well, however, there is another side to this story though, importing foreign talent is that because of our education system, aunties like your mum and mine keep forcing children to study. We have focus too much on academic than others. My dream is to become a musician, a new age musician, not a singer or whatever. However, if you are local, logic tells you that you are going to bang against a wall. Who fault is this? Sociality, but who made up the sociality? Us!
So the foreign talent are here to be groom to be our hope of winning medals. There’s the other kind of talent that do the jobs that none of us wants to do. Ie. Construction worker, dish worker, etc. Think about them, when I look for jobs, there only 2 kinds of people they hired, which is either local or PR. So the FT snatching our rich bowl is really not that easy. I will disagree with this part.
Well, we are still overall the SAFEST national on earth with the LOWEST crime rate. But low crime doesn’t mean no crime. So I still love the environment here. I dare to walk on the streets at 3am night time. Partly because it is S’pore. However, I dare to do so is because I know God. But truthfully, I rather by in my bed sleeping.
In conclusion number 2, we no need the 100k more. We just need the needed ones. Case is rubbish la, close it down. Don’t waste tax payer money. I bring the vender to small claim court is even faster than going through case. I still love it here, but I can’t say it’s the same anymore. Overall, I just feels that I am in nehgapore or nagapore but where is Singapore?
Oh, I’ve upgraded to windows 7. It’s cool. Totally look like mac now. Grats micros0ft. You look like apple now. Mac is still much more userfriendly but I don’t like apple boss. I used to like him a lot as he does a lot of great stuff. Got kick out of apple, got rehired back, got cancer, fight it and recovered. Now he is just like the evil Darth Vander.
With this sentence I just blogged an 1000 words entry. Thank you very much. LOL.
