The Colosseum: Emblem of Rome
the Colosseum is hugely impressive. It stands as a glorious but troubling monument to Roman imperial power and cruelty. Inside it, behind those serried ranks of arches and columns, Romans for centuries cold-bloodedly killed literally thousands of people whom they saw as criminals, as well as professional fighters and animals.
Sad to look at it, the recent " Cage " of F1 remind me of the Roman colosseum. Like the olden days, the rich and Famous had their fun inside the colosseum. There is a distance differences between who is inside and who is outside.
Now in Singapore, it seem that the whole of the city is belonging to the elite/rich and famous for that particular days. All the Poor and plain people who cant afford to attend or see the event had to be totally " Shut" out. Millionares and Billionare will be invited to grace the event. International stars and celebrities will come and add light and flashes for the event. But what happen outside of the " Colosseum " is the normal singaporean. We had to endure the increase taxi fare, expected Jam packed traffic and etc...except some of the contractor, may i know which singaporean company had benefited from this Event?
