Whether or not we will be successful will depend on the attitude of

people leaving school early without qualifications and the
inability of parents to keep them in school. In a few years, these
young punks will grow up to rant in Sgforums about the low salaries
at the McDonald restaurant.
Since when has Opposition's
rhetoric include "that it
is not their {Singaporean's} fault and they could just sit tight
and expect the government to solve the problem while they
complain" ?
Where on earth did you grab this piece of statement from ?
Which politiician from which alternative political party ever made
such a statement ?
Is this not another typical ploy of weaving a plot by putting
unspoken words into the mouth of others ?
In any other circumstances, if such a scheme was hatched and spoken
about the anyone from the Ruling Party, one can be certain of
getting a legal suit for slanderous statements made.
Have you ever taken the trouble to find out why there has become a
"worrying problem of
young people leaving school early without qualifications and the
inability of parents to keep them in school"
?
If you have not taken the trouble to understand the problem while
preferring to be entrenched in Oxford and enjoying your sterling
pound wages, why do you even bother to mention this problem, let
alone worry about it ?
These punks may one day be the ones to vote the Ruling Party out of
office, as their grandparents were the "young punks of the 1950s,
who agitated for Singapore's independence from Colonial Rule, and
whom LKY made such eloquent speeches to represent Singaporean
interest in democracy and liberty for the individuals".
