Shame on you, young
bloggers
IT IRKS me that young people
blog negatively about the Singapore Government.
They live in an era where there is peace and harmony, they have a
roof over their heads, plenty to eat and so much to enjoy. There is
a need to realise that all these good things do not come naturally.
Someone has to do the job and we are fortunate to have a sound and
honest government to take care of this place we call our
home.
We live in a small place with no natural resources but we have done
well. We have good infrastructure, a clean environment, a safe
place and the list goes on. Our children are free to roam the
streets and return home safely. We cannot take all that we enjoy
now for granted.
The Government took great
pains to mould this tiny island into a place of
wonder. There is no one policy that suits everyone.
It is not possible to please everyone all the time. We may not
always benefit from some of the policies implemented but we should
be happy that others do.
Life was a struggle before but after years of persistent hard work
and thrift, we managed. I
travelled quite a bit but whenever I looked around, I could not
help but feel blessed that I have a home called
Singapore.
This is only possible
because we have a government that cares to make this a better
place. The question often asked is, 'What can the
Government do for me?', but shouldn't it be, 'What can I do for my
country?'
I am grateful to the
Government, which has done a great job, and
in particular Minister
Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, who has gone through so many
trials and tribulations. Even now, at his age, he has not
stopped caring about Singapore. My heartfelt thanks to MM Lee and I
wish him happiness and health.

If Juliet is a Mrs or Mdm, i can still understand and would take
it that she's aged and lived in the LKY era. But a miss? Hope she's
not younger.
Her blog.... i really dunno what to say.... i can't continue
reading it. She so idolised LKY.
So here we can see... that theres still naive and gullible
people around that are willing to be cheated and yet say thank you
to the cheater! Haiz...
