Victims of success

today i came across a News... on Singapore news paper.

Victims of success
"Have Singaporeans become so highly adaptable that they find it easy to leave our shores? "
http://www.todayonline.com/articles/264923.asp




it really set me pondering(thinking) that.. are we?

i would put a big YES... we have been train to be so adaptable we can almost adept to any countries esp ASIA.

ive read tru the article ..it like saying "Ever year 1000 Singaporean give up their pink IC"

well... i got much to comment on this issue but.. im thinking why?

why give up when Singapore is good?

for better life? for friends? for lifestyle?


again.. i think our gov is so efficient until everything we can depend on them.

where as places like maybe china? which is a BIG place where people need to join in. and "feel"

to be a part of the country... i dunno I'm saying this right but...i hope you guys understand what im saying...

maybe just maybe that is the problem of being to efficient...and letting the committee became very individualistic ...

I do think that due to how the government has "taken care" of us for the past 40 odd years, we are really too dependent on our govt whenever things do not turn out well.

we are lacking the "can-do" or "boleh" spirit to strive and work things out for ourselves.


A interesting post i found in a Singapore forum

We citizens of Singapore urge you government to - PLEASE MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

We DO NOT NEED your help. Every time, you mention HELP, we have to run for
cover!!!

Help the poor? Raise GST!

Help traffic flow? Up ERP!

Help passenger service? Up Bus fare/MRT fare!

Help us get taxi? Raise taxi fare!

Help us get good government? Raise Minister and Civil servant salary!

Everytime YOU WANT TO HELP, we all PAY FOR IT!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU...TOLONG LAH, please, we will HELP OURSELVES, no need
your help liao.

We DARE NOT ask for help any more!!!

Sir, most honoured sir, I urge you NOT TO HELP Singapore INVEST also!

Kao liao, kum siah!

Just let us have a dose of bad governance, like recently the Mat Selamat
case, like dat....so far, it is ok, we ACCEPT!

PLEASE DO NOT help us have better security! Wait we all kena PAY FOR IT!!

I believe ALL SINGAPOREANS PREFER NOT TO HAVE CRUTCH MENTALITY!

I think it is ok lah, please just take your salary and enjoy life ok?

Thank you thank you,

I am very chin chai one, any how any how, no need to help oso can one.
