Society's Gain or Loss?

Just recently i met a friend in which i have not seen for a long time, two big differences between him and me, its obvious, he converses well in Mandarin and Hokkien while i obviously the home grown "ACS" kid am unable to speak mother tongue for jack...

Its rather sad when reality sips in not in a pleasant manner but an unpleasant one, this friend of mine told me 'Are You Chinese'? in that very confrontational manner, turning on the defensive i told him right smack in the face 'I am Singaporean! Not necessarily a Chinese'.

And its like God just demanded for silence after i made that remark, one has to judge whether there were any winners in this short argument, speaking of which I was just about to order dinner at the corner kopitiam down the road when my poor self was attempting to order some bits of food in mandarin, as one uncle was scooping some veggies for me another one of his "kaki"(Buddy) said quite aloudly "Ang Moh"!(Foreigner or Westerner) trying to justify that i was one, i ignorantly just walked away quietly pretending not to notice but honestly a huge bit of frustration brewed up in me when i heard that statement.

Its sad to know when certain members of the public are outwardly ignorant and arrogant that the only bit of country they know is the small corner in Ang Mo Kio or in Toa Payoh, having trotted overseas several times, one has to really condemn this sort of behaviour, where has the respect gone for our fellow man?

End of the day coming back to our Ex-PM Goh's speech about 'Quitters and Stayers' one has to see the fact is whether individuals like me who are Singaporean are welcomed in society, so end of the day is it about being a old chinese junkie and not that of talent and good character? Once i realize that this piece of soil at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula does not welcome me anymore i shall make a quick departure for definitely my God-Given talents and skills are needed elsewhere where there is a decent respect for our fellow man and the things we do.

All that work for an iPod <-- True need?

Apple is in it again....


Shitload of new features, color lcd screen and the ability to view photos as well, not to mention "impossibly small". Its a dream come true with 4GB of storage space.

Was deciding on whether to settle for a new phone/PDA/mp3 player. Guess i've already made a conclusive decision upon receiving my paycheck for a weekend worth of hardwork (Apple sure does have a good timing).

Boy i can't wait, certainly beats carrying a laptop all the time with regards to previewing photos and doing the usual self-administration.

We? Or them?

Was reading the 'States Times' today, and yes i'm sorry for introducing an article in which is a mirror image of a situation that we Singaporeans have to live with for the time being but i feel that this needs to be put into context.

As per the article labelled "Sept 11, 2005, Singapore hails Mubarak's win" one has to question whether its Singaporeans as a whole or the Lee Dynasty welcoming a President of a foreign country back into power, the fact of the matter is that the States Times had failed to present the fact that only a small percentage of the population actually bothered to vote.

Mubarak together with Singapore's Ruling PAP(People's Action Party) have enjoyed successive "re-elections" back into power, the key point is whether the elections are fair or "pre-planned" to entice a bias vote for one party to win.

Back to Singapore in general we never had any fair form of elections apart from the ones before we acheived independence, lets put it this way, the Lee Dynasty is probably congratulating the Egyptian President on being able to get re-elected in a atmosphere of a free-media and balanced reporting while any foreign media is suppressed from making any negative statements about the gahmen and the ruling party.

Lets stop saying "Singapore" congratulated him and just single out LHL+LKY and their cronies, the article should be Singapore's PAP congratulating him and not label Singapore, for the PAP is not Singapore.

Iconic represenations?

The latest buzz in the State Media is the selection of a national icon, well end of the day if i were to select an icon, i would select one worth of this country's history and true facts that really represent us.

IMHO one icon is not enough to describe this vibrant city scape, many would always view the usual merlion or perhaps the esplanade to among one of the choices, well how bout a true Singaporean political icon, i mean to go with the great names of Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela for that matter.

What outsiders might often view as the pinnacle of Singapore's success its always the founding father of the PAP (People's Action Party), the great confucious inspired lawyer LKY. But in recent days and times, his successes in the past are beginning to fade away as per the days of yester-years.

Theres a fine line one would draw between a Government viewed as a dictatorial regime and one of openness willing to accept the viewpoints of all no matter how upsurd it might be, end of the day its always the people that have to make that decision right? We are no longer kids, we can be independent and that includes our ability to make an informed-choice, when the day comes where i can cast my vote as a Singaporean Citizen i want the ability to make the choice without being threatened in anyway.

So yeah if the PAP wants us to act, they have to let us act, for they call themselves THE PEOPLE'S ACTION PARTY, if you think you are doing the right thing let the people decide your fate, not your anxieties.....
