I want people to be aware that when comparing countries,it got to be apple-to-apple comparison. Else, its biased , skewed or simply unfair comparison which m...

I have a bad feeling about this but i am thinking that is already happening. We are seeing a new generation of children who have no hope or aspiration in life with a bleak outlook. They may have little or no sense of patriotism to the country. Discuss.

"They may have little or no sense of patriotism to the country. Discuss."

Since when should CHILDREN have any sense of patriotism? Its far more important to teach children right from wrong first.

Alucard101 SG

They have been well trained then.

HyperFocal SG

... future? What future?

... children? What children?

Short Ninja SG

This is happening everywhere around the globe and the more develope the country is the more jialat it becomes.SIngapore still boleh tahan -lah!!

No need to worry about patriotism of singapore children lah.

While it is true that they have no hope or aspiration in life + have a bleak outlook, it just makes them more susceptible to Singapore's propaganda media. they sure will be very patriotic wan.

You should be more worried about having more children to brainwash in singapore's future. the propaganda media was so effective in brainwashing the 1970s-1990s generation that most singapore adults now are too busy working/uninterested to make babies.

not true at all. never underestimate the power of ideals and the aspirations of the young. leaders of men are few and far between and i can feel it in my bone that a handful will emerge within this red dot.

the best of singapore is yet to come. it is called the post-lee era. it may be 15-20 years away (no thanks to LHL), but the vibrancy of singapore and its intensity will propel singapore forward.

Think the kids now are too pampered(includes myself), well I have had a happy family and I wish to have many kids(If my financing abilities allow me to) around 2-8 children, but I guess I'd be very chuan after the 2nd(Mental energy, definitely not sexual).

I've seen a couple of kids, cannot eat in food court, must eat in restaurant, nicely furnished and never visits non-air-conditioned places, travels around in taxi/car.

I myself have substantial financial backing from my family but growing up from humble beginnings(Or rather my family was super rich > well-off > rich), I try to scrimp when I can, but not to the point I feel miserable and still be able to dine like an arabian king.

I also live by the rule to "always exceed one's father" that way we can seek continuation in progression.

Wasn't there some survey which revealed that half of Sg youths wanted to migrate? i wouldn't blame them. Our country doesn't seem to love us, so how do you expect the people to have any feeling for it.

Have more children.

So that they can contribute to CPF next time.

Lagi better if they are male and have the privilege of serving NS.

I am not saying 1980s is a stupid bunch. I belong to the 1980s bunch and I assure you, some of us are very clever.

What I am saying is that there is a big portion of 1970s to 1990s bunch who totally buy into singapore goverment's propaganda. it is just sickening

TS up there sot sot de lah

It MUSt have to be surely absolutely very steep uphill climb.

can u imagine, much tougher than now. imagine, most already slave to their housing loans already. still got breath to think about children who will need a lot of money to get ahead in uni?

secondly,

with the influxificatione, future children will be direct decendents of 1st generation new immigrants. As each month over 1 0 0 0 . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 zens migrate with the bags full of money, even more future children will be direct decendents of 1st generation new immigs.

the PORE culture accumulated will reduce much and replaced by another young PORE.

Young need not be good. This means it need not be not good.

Current pore is a young democracy. Analyse the policies that got implemented with ease and you know, what a marvelous young democracy it is compared to the developed, experienced democracies of elsewhere 1st worlds. Just compare the zens of the PORe vs the rest of the world. I cry ....with tears of ....i must say....joy... what else.?

This is still, by far, the safest country to raise our children. I cannot imagine sending my child to a school in america, where anytime you get one crazy being shooting randomly at students and staff.

ChiBet SG

But your kid may be brainwashed by all those government propaganda streaming through them

balance_else_complacent SG
