Singaporeans IS: I agree and I see it......but let someone else will do it.:o
Got money on the floor, ppl will bend over and pick it up, or fight over it. Got litter on the floor, ppl just look away, pretend not to see it....dont want to dirty their hands.
Take for example; Look at the hougang and PP issue. It has been like that for more than 15years, the mechanics in the selection for upgrading has been an open secret. But what did the majority do? As long as their individual interest is taken care of, they turn a blind eye towards their own citizen in hougang and PP.:(
Notwithstanding those who voted for alternatives, now all the righteous voices and talk about equality, pride etc etc. Residents in hg and pp must be wondering where the fuck were all these people over the last decade or so
And all the pappy new candidates say want to serve the people with their heart. Before they wear white, did they even blink an eye or mutter a word about the seemingly inequitable treatment of their fellow citizens in Hougang and PP?
IMO, even the issue about hougang and PP is left outstanding, as long as individuals in other parts of peesai feel that their own individual interest is secured, they will not look at the "Big Picture".
"Simi big pikture?...... I gotta earn a living lei.....bo bian lah, its like that one lah", this is what they would say to themselves in the innermost recess of their being.....away from the coffeeshop.
Too many repetitive instances in history for me to think otherwise.
All the hot air, but we will hear alot of marbles dropping on the floor at the polls.
Sorry to sound like a wet blanket, but I dont think much will change.
I agree with sam on the reasons for his to migration.
The grass is always greener on the other side, but it depends on what you are looking for.
