Hey Frens,
Good posting and for it really makes me proud to be a Cantonese,,,no wonder Old Fart hates dialects particular cantonese.. this is a Sam Hui song, and he has sang many other songs which on Singapore/Hong Kong life..but unfortunately for Singapore,,its particularly valid today,,,and these are 70s songs....few more songs for all to ponder..from Sam Hui..
賣身契 (the Average life cycle-but also the BLOOD contract forced to signed with Gahmen)

齊齊唱首 (sounds like singapore public transport right?)

加價熱潮 (Infllation-Gahmen led of course)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS9mHHjh_B4&feature=related
半斤八兩 (Working conditions and basically working for a living...with low wages and lack of job security...its SERF conditions)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7-R1iM0Hv4&feature=related
And please note, these are 70's songs reflecting life in Hong Kong, but more relavent for today's Singapore...so effectively Singapore has gone backwards with regards to its economy, standard or living and Quality of life,,,,
