The saddest developed country
Thursday, November 5, 2009
Today, we look at Singapore after 50 years of PAP rule:
everyone is tired and totally drained out by PAP's pro-business approach.
Singaporeans work hard for very little relatively to other first world countries because of PAP.
trot down Shenton Way and Paya Lebar during peak hours, what we see is a typical Singaporean:
frustrated, stressed, angry and most importantly: helpless.
drop by old towns like Eunos's circuit road, Chinatown's waterloo street, Toa Payoh's lorongs...we'll see countless elderly peddling tissues, arching their back picking up recyclable items, pushing loads of "trash", and the handicapped and poor in the streets performing, begging...what retirement? what first world country and GDP progress? all the GDP percentage has nothing to do with them!
look at our local tertiary students. the PAP rather fund some foreign students with worse-than-PSLE English than to subsidize Singaporean students university and polytechnic fees.
look at the blank faces of the NSFs: underpaid, tamed and have no freedom.
their resigned faces say it all.
Singapore today is a sad sad place.
there is no Hope and no signs of life here. work and work...
we have degraded into a callous and meaningless society because of PAP.
the PAP know it, but they want to have their cake and eat it too. thus they resort to propagandas: telling Singaporeans to smile, to be gracious, to be accommodating of foreigners, to appreciate what we have...faking happiness.
sometimes i wonder if the PAP members are faking it too.
does the PAP as a ruling government understand?
this place gives me heartaches, which is also the reason why i will choose to leave Singapore if PAP wins the next GE.
i will give it all i've got for the next GE, am considering to join the Opposition and hope to get socio-civic bloggers like me to be in for this too.
Singapore have all the talents to form a better government. i will approach them and hopefully pursuade these talents to concentrate together in one party and stand for elections.
will visit Reform Party's open house next tuesday and the Worker's Party headquarters the week after.
the people is waiting for a Change, a new Hope.
i have decided to stop waiting and seek the team who will be the Change. i hope readers will at least do their part by educating their families and friends about the sad state PAP has put us in.
p.s. i thank you all for the emails and messages of encouragement i received from the TOC interview. Change is about the people's effort. lets give it all we've got for this country this General Elections.
