You forgot to mention also those who came out here to avoid the high cost, etc. not everyone who came out here is an investor or have the means to invest. Many and I can say many as they PMed me asking for help to get lowest rental and how to buy with the little that they have. In the end 2 families shared to buy 1 terrace here.
Thanks for paying your dues too, I know some will ask you did you do NS but I won't as quite a few don't even have the decency to work and pay back their bonds. Absconding and what can we do about it? International extradition treaty for those who break their bonds? Bro Maxpark, everyone needs to count the blessings that their country gives them, not only Singaporeans. Only those who cared and sacrificed the most knows the deepest depths of disappointments.
Yes, let us praise.
Praise them who helped to make life of those poor and middle classed miserable, who ignored the plights of the people and made them leave their own country to seek the shelter of another. Really must be thankful as the tough love they gave only made us stronger.
We must thank them when we break the bread here because at least we still get to eat bread instead of having to pick cans and bottles to survive in SG.
Someone even posted in this forum to show them beggars and those who are homeless,etc in SG. Yes indeed there are no poor in SG, all those meals on wheels charity stuff is fake. Only middle class and rich appears to inhabit Singapore.
We need to take care of our parents regardless of how they treated us.
Bro, there is no Utopia on earth, no country is perfect... at least, so far I have seen.
Singapore has, in two generations, lifted it's people from 3rd to 2nd to 1st world status, so that has to count for something.
Inevitably, some will fall behind, some will surge upwards, some like me isn't going nowhere fast but perfectly contented.
Some will be more capable, some smarter, some dumber, some more cunning, some totally lost - thats life, it takes all kinds to make this our world.
Nobody owes us a living, that is also a real fact of life but to say that the "parents" (I guess you mean Spore Govt of the day) has ill-treated us(?), is putting it a bit far.
I think there is a lot to be said about PAP and some of its policies but as a Malaysian, I would still take most of its policies over most (not all) of Malaysia's any time of the day.
