Goverment says..... true? (viewpoint)

StarPuppy SG

Exclamation Lately the goverment has being touching on how the youngsters in Singapore such as students and those new to the work force-below age of 30,are becomng more spolit,wilful and pampered,not ready to face international challenge.Is it true or is it just a handful that creates a big fuss?

generally true – due to over-pampering parents and too good living conditions.

Conclusion - They want us to face international challenges. In other word, globalisation. No point beating around the bush. Anyway, you'll probably be seeing more of it or hearing more of them...

Hmm.. By the way... Why is this topic in AA? Ain't it suppose to be in Chit Chat or Speaker's Corner or something..? Rolling Eyes

Oh...hehehe...it's true, ask them to ask their own Education Minister lor. When was the syllabus set up to ready us for international challenge?

And...by the way, how come a Mount Elizabeth Breast Specialist can be our Manpower Minister huh? Rolling Eyes

The children are the product of “engineering” through policies, who to blame, children or adults?

Jazzswing SG

StarPuppy SG

Apparently,he was trying to help the country make more "Manpower" for the birth rates thats why he become the Minister Rolling Eyes Laughing

nww16 SG

true...

nowsdays teens n those in their early twenties r like ah qua
look at their dressing, and the way they talk n carry themselves ....woohoo they r just a bunch of pretty boys..
n they r suppose to b the core of our future generations...

Ogbunwezeh SG

Agree!!! But parents also have to play apart. They r over protecting their children. Juz now at a bank, one of the bank teller told me tat she will complain to the govt if her son ( waiting for enlistment ) kena tekan in the army... She even ask me what ways to make her son eligible for a clerk vocation. Hey, ur son is going to be a soldier, not some sicklings!!!

Misogynist SG

Can we detract from Army forming men and stuff like that?
Army is not the single source that seperates man from boys.. It doesnt matter how you keng in NS, bcos it's what you do in NS that counts. Even if you are a storeman or clerk, you just do your best. That then is counted as being a man.

Anyway, sorry for digressing, Teens these days are pathetic man.. They are pampered and sheltered. They are what in army context "HAVEN'T WAKE UP THEIR IDEA!" Mr. Green

Prodigy SG

alot of ppl in singapore are like that one lah... once they get in the army..and leave...they will be a changed person

but for some, without the help of the army..they are still "manly". That is of cause...only a few lor Rolling Eyes

heck, even some boys came out from the army..geeez they are still like akua... my gawd..

Devil1976 SG

Sheesh... So fast the topic becomes NS liao? Shocked

Let me see... I've never like my NS in the 1st place... But I do have to admit that I've learnt much from it though the duration was a bit long... But whatever the heck? There're many more things which I don't like.... Wait... Let me bring out my 'don't like' list... Laughing
