Hi All,
While I appreciate some of the songs being shared here, I think Singapore songs - especially patriotic ones - would be relevant to this thread. I take this as your way of telling people where the REAL home is.
Thank you...and Singapore is MY HOME.

Patriotic? What is truely patriotic?
The term "Real home" sounds weird to me...

Okay, may be "patriotic" is too strong a word. "Love" for the country then.

I refer to the letter by Sam Ahmed published by the Straits Times on 7 Nov 2009.
Sam said that although he has lived in Sydney, Paris and Tokyo, he has never felt more intimate with any of them than he has with Singapore. He sounds like the man who has had many lovers before but who professes to feel most intimate with his latest conquest.
He is not happy that Singaporeans do not share his “passion” for Singapore and he blames them for losing the big picture which is that Singapore has come a long way from a backwater trading post. He takes issue with taxi drivers for their incessant complains and graduates for talking about moving to Spain or Italy.
It is Sam however, who does not see the big picture, for he has come to narrowly focus on the good life that he enjoys in Singapore while ignoring the sufferings of the less fortunate. Unless, Sam gives up his cushy life and takes on the hardships that the taxi driver endures day in day out, he has no right to criticise taxi drivers for their complains. The long way Singapore has come is down a slippery road of widening income gap where the poor gets poorer while the rich gets richer. Sam may feel the “passion” while the going is good now but will he continue to feel the “passion” if he were reduced to driving a taxi some day?
If only Sam’s “passion” for the history of Singapore is as strong as his “passion” for the good life he enjoys here, he will realise that Singapore was already a major international port of call back in the colonial days and not some backwater trading post.
Many graduates choose to leave this country not because of lack of love for the country, but because the country doesn’t love them as much as it loves foreigners like Sam.
All first world cities offer safe, ecologically aware, advanced technology, excellent transportation and infrastructure and a thriving arts scene. If these are what Sam sees as criteria for “passion” for a country, then Sam’s criteria is indeed shallow. For true “passion” endures even if this land were reduced to mere mud and soil.
Sam ends by asking why Singaporeans can’t see what foreigners all over the world can see. It is not that Singaporeans can’t see. Many of them can only see but can never taste the good life that Sam enjoys.
Thank you

Hi,
Like what you shared, thank you.
In your opinion, where do you think this country is heading towards? The demographics (real locals vs new immigrants), & how do we development a greater sense of belonging in these two groups of Singaporeans?
Personally, I have been living outside Singapore (in many cities over 20 years in fact)due to job and now, business commitments. I don't enjoy discussing with many Singaporeans issues that are dear to me, and don't approve the attitude towards life of many Singaporeans, and I don't think the government will ever take people like me seriously cause' I am out of their radar scope of "worthy investments" - of time & resources (and yes, I dun think they really care). BUT, I will return to Singapore because it is my country, and this is the only place on earth that I feel a genuine sense of belonging.
A few years ago, I picked up a book written by a new immigrant originally from Europe - "Proud to be Singaporean" - and in it, he shared many of the angles that Singaporeans take for granted, and the conclusion is similar to yours.
Over to you...

What does this bus stop provide you, why this bus stop and not others? -

Food for thought....I have a good imagination so I'll give it a go.For one maybe this bus stop is all they can afford.
They have to get through this bus stop to get to the other bus stops. Why did the chicken cross the road... to get to the other side.... the bus stop was a stopover.
Your bus stop is better than the bus stop they came from?
Meybe...
Kind Regards
