1. Do not put our womenfolks down in order to stand tall. Women
in our society has an equal obligation, and that is giving birth.
Without women, there may be no Singapore at all.
They too, faced equal hazards that our men faced in every way,
from birth itself to careers. Just because a few women
remained single does not mean ALL women do not give birth.
2. Our Army is never a democratic institution. It is an
authoritarian organisation and must rightfully be, for wars are
cruel and brutal business. It's methods are repulsive, but no more
repulsive than what enemies would be more than brutal do to us,
thus the need to be prepared rigously for it and truimph against
it.
No one is suppose to love the army. One only loves the
camaraderie, respect its purpose and need, but never to love the
organisation and the way it MUST function.
Fortunately our service is only 2 years active and a few
more on reserve lists to stay current with latest developements an
techniques. The army serves to protect democracy, not practice it,
and does not interfere in the civilian policies of the State, which
unfortunately, in some countries, they do while still in
uniform.
3. Foreign workers are never citizens and have absolutely no
rights of citizens. But they serve a purpose, and even at times
more than what our citizens can offer - they either provide cheap
labour or provide high capital to our shores and give our citizens
jobs, to grow and prosper.
But they are of no more importance to us when decisions from our
community are to be made, and only exists on the sufferance of our
people. If they are needed, they will be offered agreeable terms to
stay, if not, we would kick them out. We don't do this to our own
fellow citizens, let alone even whiners and unproductive ones.
4. Moan all you want, we as individuals revolve around our
society and drive its revolution, not society bowing down to us and
we as individuals centre of society.
