Mr Lim said that his concerns were somewhat different. 'My
question was, how are we going to help the younger generation feel
a sense of belonging to Singapore? I don't think it's about
integrating foreigners.'
'This is your country,' SM Goh replied. 'What do you want me to do
to make you feel you belong?'
'For my part, don't worry about me,' Mr Lim said. 'I will
definitely do something, if I can, for Singapore. But I can tell
you honestly that the sentiment on the ground is a bit
different.'
'If that is prevalent among young people over here, we've got a
real problem,' SM Goh said. 'If the majority feel they don't belong
here, then we have a fundamental problem. Then I would ask
myself: What am I
doing here? Why should I be working for people who don't feel they
belong over here?'
SM Goh dun like working for those who feel that don't belong
here.
Out of touch.
Same like what my local typical manager told us during departmental
meeting.
When we throw in a problem, he throw back to us to solve it by
yourself.
