DearAll,
Appreciate your views and it is great to receive such
response! On the other hand, if we are convinced that we or
the government are sinking, can we have some justifications?
Not challenging you of course, rather, I am sure further details
will benefit ALL reading this forum.
Thanks.
I however, dun think we are sinking. You know
why? We Singaporeans are ALWAYS "boh bian" when it comes
to government policy, and ALWAYS respond to pre-election goodies or
on and off "consessions".
Dear Lionoasis,
Singapore is not sinking but leaking badly.
While the PAP government is trying to maintain an even keel, it
is plugging holes at one end of the vessel, but causing new leaks
elsewhere.
The resilient and creative Singaporeans will know how to cope
with the situation, and some have found new opportunities to
survive the precarious situation.
Those who are more resourceful have found themselves a dinghy,
or a luxury yatch, even a private jet - that serves as a
getaway for leisure and as an insurance.
The remaining Singaporeans - who are less able to fend for
themselves for a variety of reasons - will remain at the mercy
of circumstances, with a Government that will not give any direct
assistance in any significant ways that can alleviate this group
from their desperate situation; but will place more demands on the
entire population in the various communal self-help programs
as the Government remain aloof to the situation that they have
created.
This will require more Singaporeans to be educated and informed
of the present injustices and abuses.
It will require more Singaporeans to be aware of the
responsibility of each individual that the Rights of
the Community must be protected from being hijacked by the
Government for the most insignificant reasons.
It will require the Community to be aware that the Individual,
who is protecting the Community, will also need the support from
the Community to protect the Individual.
It is through this understanding that Singapore is not the
exclusive project of any single political party.
This Singapore project - which require as much
support from Singaporeans - must also result in the
interests of Singaporeans being protected first and foremost, and
not the interests of any single Political Party, whether in power
or waiting at the side-lines.
