Poh Ah Pak
I understand how you feel, I really do. But I also try to see
beyond the PAP issue .
Let me put it this way - there can be worse
scenerios.
Politic is a reflection of the people's desire. You think the Old
Man gets to the current situation without the people's
help?
He gets to the current position thru' the exploitation of
people innermost feeling, or thru' the good understanding of the
ground (depending on how you see it). And you think potential
opposition would not do so?
Frankly, as a singaporean, I have more pressing worries. Major
worries like the unravel of Singaporean bonding, a weakening sense
of kinship and the erosion of traditional value. The
situations are liken to the global warming - steady but
surely.
Among the three major races, the Chinese is the worse affected.
If you compare all the races, the Chinese is the fastest
in discarding their spirit of community
It is sad to see Chinese not celebrating CNY, sad
to see Chinese not speaking the language anymore. Worse still, sad
to see traditional Chinese values disappearing.
The blame can only be put squarely on the
shoulder of the apathy Chinese. You cannot
blame the politician for discarding your tradition, can
you?
And the list goes on and on. Too
long and too tiring to list them all here.
My point is this. There can be
many situations that make us unhappy and not all of them are
political in nature. Some of them arise from our family,
community and our self-belief.
