you know... somehow i dun think this kind of stability will be forever.
i am not saying this cos' i myself not doing well but i consider myself still quite comfortable.:o
we dun even have our own supply of water and other natural resources. sometimes, i think what if Malaysia decided to poison our water supply or cut it off one day. do you think we can depend solely on our reservoirs? dun forget we are surrounded by jealous neighbours. one thing i observed is that even the japanese are jealous of our achievements. when i talked to them when they took my cab, i can sense that they are very envious of us, sporeans. i also think that one reason for neighbouring foreigners to come and work here is to put their pple on our soil, to dilute the sour feelings neighbours harbouring on us.
another is that the papers also hyping a lot on the goodness of spore. just yesterday in holland village, i spoke to this 70+ auntie peddling tissue to get money for her doctor and medicine. even she complained that the medical in sinkieland is fucking expensive!
i asked her to go see her mp and she said no use as she got children and that government won't help for this reason.
few years ago, i remember speaking to one indian lady from india working in a HR firm, roughly that time, the financial turmoil in states affected spore's economy, and she seems so happy about it!
i really can't imagine myself living in the midst of this kind of people!
i have doubt about how long spore can really last after LHL,LKY and GCT are gone?

Years of buoyant stock and property markets and stable employment may have allowed many to be able to spend time sitting in a kaya and kopi outlet. But this may also indicate the fact that many Singaporeans are still not hungry, hence not ready for change.
Unfortunately, this could be the calm before the storm, years down the road.
