In an ongoing poll conducted by Channel News Asia, 78 percent of
the respondents indicated that they will not fly the Singapore flag
during the National Day celebrations:
The autocratic PAP regime has launched a propaganda blitz via
the state media and its grassroots organizations on the ground to
‘encourage’ Singaporeans to fly the Singapore flag.
With only a week to go before 9 August, few flags are seen on
public display in the HDB heartlands nor on the tops of cars in
contrast to our neighbor across the Causeway whose National Day is
on 31 August.
In fact, the only signs of ‘celebration’ observed are the many
banners and billboards of its ’smiling’ MPs put up by the PAP
regime all over the place to remind Singaporeans of its
‘omnipresence’.
Grassroots organizations are so desperate to please their
political masters that they even resorted to hiring Bangladeshi
workers to hang the Singapore flags along the common corridors and
staircases of flags in the vicinity of MRT stations and shopping
centers so that they won’t appear too ‘empty’.
46 years after Singapore was booted out of Malaysia, there is
really nothing for native Singaporeans to ‘celebrate’. After all,
Singapore is only a city and NOT a country, according to PAP Law
Minister Shanmugan.
With the flood-gates opened wider after the May election,
Singaporeans will soon become a minority in their own country in a
few years’ time and perhaps in the not too distant future, we will
be ‘celebrating’ National Day on 1st October instead.
