Singapore
bathed too much in its past glories that it almost became a form of
self delusion that things will always remain as beautiful as how we
rose from the dust in the past. This delusion is intended for the
general masses, but it as time goes, people with position of power
are actually falling for their own propaganda - just because we
have a glorious past, we will surely achieve the same in the
future.
Some countries had that sort of mindset too and things just decline
from there.
Whatever it is, Singaporean are too politically apathetic to change
anything.
Singaporean will complain.
But during election goes, they will still drop vote for PAP.
Cry foul?
Cry lor.
Because at the end of the day, Singaporean will still vote for a
known evil, than an unknown evil. It's a fact proven a million
times.
Because most Singaporean don't even give much damn about anything
outside materialism... as long as you get your six months bonus,
you are happy. Hang national day flag? What's that? Got money or
not?
Can't blame everyone also - you know, you don't really own anything
in this country.
Not even your HDB.
So what's so special being a Singaporean?
We can't even find designer/sponsor for our Miss Singapore because
it's simply not a 'economically viable' decision.
How sad is that? 
Cheers
