Let's face it..The problem that we are facing right now is caused by one thing called fear.This fear is real or unfounded, that depends on who you are and where you are in the caste system this beautiful and fair country has worked out.If you belong to the middle-class majority, two kids, a car loan to pay off, rushing around to pay the bills and the tuition for the kids, you are the most unfortunate because you are the ones who are most affected by the twisted nature of the powers that be.Enslavement both through insidious or flagrant means have started a long time ago, only now have we begun to wake up to this reality, which slowly crept in after the economic collapse of the end-90s.This is when we realised that what we have sold our souls for late in the 70s were merely face value items which were hollow and without any lasting value, whether is it for us or our children.
Have we oursleves to blame for this predicament?Yes.100%.Are we duty-bound to change our lives for the better?I would say indeed, if we want to be a progressive and civilized nations where all of us do not have to be under the malignant thumb of a select group who make decisions with their heads way up in the atmosphere, too high until that they lack the oxygen to have a critical mind and the simplest of empathy in their policy-making.
This country belongs to all of us.It does not belong to them alone.We are only as oppressed if we let ourselves be kidded that money and the promise of riches that will come back if we listen to them..blah blah blah..You get my point.
I seriously worry for Singapore with such policymakers at the helm.Ironically, it could very well be them that break us instead of make us.Risk-taking is less dangerous than letting loose cannons dictate our future..We have nothing to lose, let's be humans for once.Don't be sheep, I have never seen any fluffy fur on my arms, only the unmistakble sheen of camouflage green from our days of compulsory service.
