yes i do agree that the majority may not really mind, because
they are unaware of the evils that the ruling party is doing. try
asking your friends or colleagues who do not talk politics, they
only care about their 3 meals, house, car and job.
Anyway, its up to the people to decide who wins the next ge, and
i really hope to see more opposition, not less.
Actually, to me, the root cause is not talent no enough but where
the talent chose to go to instead due to pragmatic or personal
reasons.
An organization is nothing without its people.
I believe that basically, all topics can become
politically-related topics. I am a bit unable to comprehend why
people are apathetic when things really do affect them, if only
they can see.
for example, sex can be a political issue. Lets say people
somehow do not have to much sex or enjoy sex less. This could lead
to less babies born and thus a political issue.
Trust can be a political issue. Lets say you used to donate to
the old nkf and trusted it completely because you never hear
anything bad about it until the gold plating of the tap incident
that led to opening of the box full of worms. Trust then becomes a
political issue. Trust can be dangerous word.
Transparency can be a political issue. Lets
say people trust that the old nkf is transparent and accountable.
What happened? Transparency became a political issue.
Mee siam also can be a political issue. Lets say mee
siam actually is harmful but no one believe it is. then one day, a
scientist study found evidence of harm.
Then, mee siam becomes a political issue and food
sellers need to adhere to certain new health rules and
regulations introduced to address the harm. Of course this harm is
hypothetical but also we cannot rule out the possibility of this
happening in future. To be safe for now, I avoid eating mee siam
with harmful appearance.
Thus, I fail to understand why 1st world singaporeans especially
the highly educated and young generation are apathetic.
But this shall be overcome with time as a young nation matures
more and more.
The fireball of Truth cannot be contained forever.
