True Singaporeans
Think i'll just follow up other bloggers on the usual pre-national day rants, you know the usual "left-right-left" regimentation and sort of nation building initiatives our all so creative gahmen claims for themselves, themselves eh?
Recalling back a Straits Times article hinting the cutting of the Birthday Cake for 40 years of nation building and guess what? The MIW would be the ones at the podium doing the honour, i mean come on... getting paid "peanuts" is not enough? They dare steal the real honour which goes to the average hard-working Singaporean and those who brought the name of the country out of Singapore and being who they are and being the true patriots they are? Politicians be politicians, always have a stick up their arses all the time.
That i understand.
But perhaps time to think through where all this "National Day" racket is going, i mean we pay our taxes, the gahmen claims cost-cutting measures need to be made, but still enough moolah can be spent on annual parades and not for upgrading, subsidies, salary increases and last but not least financing our scholars who end of the day come back just to stick a rod up their .... and get paid peanuts.... now now i guess accounting statistics include peanut wages and not anything else less than a peanut what a pity.
So this national day, we have about half of our wages sitting in an account we can't touch, struggling to pay the bills, send our kids to school(Not married i am, but being a son one must know what his parents have done to send him to school), getting reprimanded for no obvious reason and being overworked to the core that sometimes the suicide statistics are often more untrue then whats published.
As this year's national theme song goes "Reach out for the skies", sounds a bit like "The Best Is Yet to Be", sometimes i wish the former has a better motto than that for it doesn't really state any form of achivement but "Still" going towards one... sheesh ain't the idea supposed to be achieving goals and moving on to achieve more goals?
Let us think this Independence Day, shall we hentakaki on and on or march forth in all aspects of nation building including politics.
