rongshao, not meant to be sarcastic .. we should try to look at
everything from both sides of a coin ..
your econ teacher is good example if s/he is willing to voice out
the concern ..
anyway, here are some excerpts i took from today's straitstimes --
as you can see all only focusing on the good thingy (those in the
bracket are my comments)
- 'i kept sending sms messages to my friends asking if what i was
hearing was true'
(what the heck is this comment, no relevance and only want to
'angkat', how long and how many smse did he send by claiming 'kept
sending')
- 'singaporeans now have less of an excuse for not wanting to speak
up'
(got excuse or not is not the reason why someone wants to speak up,
there are 1001 other reasons, what the heck he thinks he knows why
we are not speaking up, a psychic?)
- 'i hope .. the trust between the govment and the volunteer groups
will be strengthened. by giving more space, the govment will only
haul in people when they overstep the boundaries rather than check
on them every step of the way'
(what? do you think govment so free to check you on every step of
the way? better no comment than speak up like tat)
- 'oh, it was very wonderful! i liked the wide coverage of topics
and his style. in the past, i used to feel he was more reserved and
stern. but it's clear he's someone who can also crack jokes'
(this person who gave the above comment is only open the mouth
without any substance as if he knows PM well enough to comment like
tat, and he thinks PM must give jokes?)
- 'that was a very profound statement, so profound that i think it
will send a wave of change across the whole education scene because
here in singapore, we are certainly over-teaching our
students'
(if this person already certain that we have been all along
over-teaching, why he only opens his mouth now, what an
opportunist!)
- 'i wasn't planning to watch the whole speech but i did because
his delivery was very personable and interesting. mr lee showed
that he is someone who is really in touch with the grassroots
level'
(better keep his mouth shut, than comment no use like tat
)
