If an Ang Moh was to say bad things about S'pore (human rights,
freedom of speech.... etc)..... I'm sure many here would blindly
agree to whatever he/she said.....
But if someone/anyone said good things about S'pore.....
then it is "Interfering With Singapore
Politics"
Depends on who said.
If Mahathir criticises Singapore, we have grounds to be wary,
since he is known to be biased and likes to bash Singapore.
Straits Times is controlled by the state and we know it carries
mostly state propaganda, so if there is a report that praises
Singapore, we are also cautious.
So sweet, I wish someone can sing for me too:
Count your blessings, Singapore SINGAPORE plans to pump in
more than $1 billion into innovation and entrepreneurship.
This may not mean much to most Singaporeans but I
see this as another example of the Government's foresight.
I cannot but say to Singaporeans: 'You are really
blessed.'
Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao wants to learn from
Singapore's housing experience after visiting Toa Payoh. Mr Ma
Ying-jeou, after winning the recent Taiwanese presidential
election, says his country must learn from Singapore's
clean and efficient Government. Several Arab countries
also want to learn from Singapore's
success.
Singaporeans should feel proud of these
compliments.
Singapore's prosperity and racial harmony are the result of
the hard work of Singaporeans. Singapore has achieved such
impressive results today because of the leadership of a far-sighted
and hardworking Government.
Just as the Chinese had the good fortune to have Deng
Xiaoping, Singaporeans are blessed to have Lee Kuan Yew.
Singaporeans should be moved by their veteran leaders' relentless
efforts for the sake of the country.
Singaporeans do not have to worry about volatile
prices as they have NTUC FairPrice supermarkets to
stabilise prices. They do not have to worry about having a
roof over their heads as the Government provides
affordable housing. They do not have to worry about crowded
transport as the Government has planned for current and
future transport needs.
Their hearts can also be at ease over the
issue of employment as the Government is looking into future job
opportunities. There are no worries about basic
necessities.
Good traditions and experiences should be passed down to the
next generations, and the Singapore Government has been
doing so.
I hope Singaporeans can pass on the pioneering spirit of
their forefathers together with the material wealth to successive
generations.
