National day is coming and everytime when this part of the
year came, I can't help but feel sad. Sad because fewer and fewer
citizen hung their flag outside their home. Why is it happening? I
tried seaching for the answer but it came to notch. LOOK! We had
steadily increase GDP, strong economic growth in that sense, 160k
new jobs for the quarter. So whats holding back for them to hung
out those flags? Busy? It couldn't be busy as it only takes less
than a minute to put it up. Forgetful? Maybe but it couldn't be
all.
The reason lies after I did a little survey with 100 citizens is
that 66% of them love and adore our current leadership so much that
some hung their flag in door and some rather keep it than dirty it
through rain and shine. Please don't ask me to provide the names of
the 100 citizens for obvious reason.
Yes, some citizen may be displease with some of our government
policy but did they ever compare singapore with other countries
like Utopia or Rwanda? We are so much luckier in that sense. Fares
and Utilities bills have to go up unless someone can stop the cost
of crude oil. We are lucky that unlike other countries whereby they
subsidize the cost and spoon-feed their citizen in times of
economic turmoil, singapore did just the opposite and allows the
citizen the opportunity to do their duty as a citizen in bearing
the brunt of the recession.
Singaporeans should not always be on the look out for hand-outs but
learn to stand firm and strives along. Only then can we proclaim to
come of age and go forth in times of economic turmoil. Only then
can we give out more scholarship to foreign students so as to
attract more foreign talent.
With promise of making each and every household to have lift stop
at every level by 2011, we have a caring government unlike other
countries who are wasting their time debating and tackling
unimportant issues like recession and rising unemployment which can
never be solved with rising crude oil.
Therefore I sincerely hope the remaining 33% of the citizen that
took the survey will wake up and appreciate the beauty of our
beloved government thinking and put on a happy face this coming
national day.
As for me, I will definately look forward to [b]8th of August and salute to the
aircraft carrying national flag flying past for I know my future
lies with our flawless and respectful government.[/b]

anything
