I saw this post. And after reading it, I am remorseful. I promise to repent.
Will you?

For the Singaporeans who missed the ball that PM Lee is trying to throw at you, here’s a simple break down.
You are right, it is essentially a ‘lock down’ with a simple but yet very big difference.
And that is, we still have our freedom to move around.
This is a privilege many countries do not have, and this is so because the government recognizes it’s importance and in some ways have faith / hope that we can cooperate and react accordingly. So please, for the love of God, play ball and don’t screw this up for everyone.
‘Social distancing’ is not just a trending word, in times like these it can literally be a matter of life and death. So please exercise good judgment. Stay home if you can, but if you must be out, avoid crowds. If you have older family members who are not as well informed or are just plain stubborn, educated them. They are protecting themselves as much as they are protecting others. In the end no one wants to die.
And for those bitching and poking fun at why the government decided not to or have no balls to use the word DORSCON ‘RED’ or ‘LOCK DOWN’, the answer is simple. Because Singaporeans ourselves don’t have the balls for it. In any case, would it make you folks feel better if it’s called ‘RED’? If these words were used, it would undoubtedly cause a full on panic. This is a fact we sadly have to admit to. So stop bitching. What good does it do? They have considered all factors and are doing this for the sake of everyone. Like a parent who knows the hard truth but sweetens it just a little so our sore snow flick emotions don’t go to full on ape mode. It is not easy being a parent to 5.8 million people. If you have not tried, then you don’t have the right to bitch or poke fun at anyone who did. Don’t talk so big when you lack the wisdom to back it up. Don’t be that chihuahua barking in the corner while the big dogs are working. Grow up.
And to those complaining about all the ‘inconvenience’ this has brought on, understand this. It IS for our own good and in many ways it is our own fault as well. If we had collectively did our part and took social distancing more seriously instead of going to ‘Mustafa’ and ‘last parties’ like nothing is wrong, we might not have come to this to begin with.
In the end, we are still doing better than most. We have food, world class healthcare and government reliefs and hand outs to help some of us through. Just be grateful for once, stop complaining and poking at everything just for the sake of complaining. Yes, times are bad and you took a big hit, but so is every other one of us. So don’t be so self absorbed. Snap out of it and deal with it.
Lastly, how many country on this planet has a PM who can deliver a speech like that fluently in 3 different language? Can you? No.
So just stop and do your part.
If not you are welcome to leave once this is over.
