Future for our nation
-
I am a Singaporean.I grew up in the streets of Singapore,cursing in Hokkien and Malay,speaking Singlish,going to SJI,hanging out at Orchard Road,visiting my relative in Jurong,karting in Jurong,reading the laughable "True Singapore Ghost Stories" and other things that Singaporeans do.
I have seen the good and bad of my country,and I accept it,because it is my home,it is where my friends and family are,where my roots as a Chinese,Indian and Portueguese are,my roots as a Singaporean.
I am someone who believes in a future for our country and my people,and I am willing to endure and help solve the problems.I am not a stayer or quitter.I am Singaporean.
P.s.To all those critics out there,I am not pro-PAP or anything,I am just stating for the record that despite the imperfections of this country,I love it. -
This place is perfect...
juz if it snows once a yr tt will be best.. -
hmmm. If there are too many unemployed graduates. Would they have to seek a living overseas, then would they be called quitters?
-
Nah they will be called entrepreneurs
-
do we carry "patriotism" on our lips or in our hearts?

This country needs more passion, concern and care for every Singaporean. Help & support each other out and have a better future. Been watching & hearing a lot of sad things which show dimishing social network. Ppl are becoming more individualistic and selfish.
After all, we are Singaporean. We are born in this little island, where our family, friends and relatives are. Plenty of memories, regardless of good or bad ones.
More resources must be utilized to promote the 'software' of this country. -

This country only show to other country that she has passion, concern and care for her people. not really to her own people.
"She" is a modern communist communism where what is your we own it together and what is mine is mine.
I think you ppl know "she" mean who yah.
Where the people dun see any future for themselves, what do their country future has?
Till the empire die off, forget about future for our nation. It the future for the EMPIRE. -
Local borned Singaporean r fully exploited by the govt, do u think we can still live here??

i am born in singapore and also raise 100% here.
but i have slowly lost the love for this country because everytime i hear the minister speak or hear their policy i can only swear and curse. i am not against the PAP. i am against their policy. How many of the lower class ppl benefits from the PAP system. are our society advancing? if yes, maybe the elite class are advancing leaving half of the singaporean behind fighting for their survival.
how can we distingish between PAP and singapore? seriously i cant. i cant even distingish between NTUC and PAP too. arent NTUC suppose to be labour union? but why union leader join PAP?
i am not asking for perfect country. i just hope the minister can stop playing the policy game just to justify their 4 year stay as minister in respective ministries. govt taking care of the poor family health care and start making the rich pay more tax!! -

Singapore is only good for the elites man. Besides I kind of feel its like the Matrix. Only see what the "system" lets you see. Go against it and you are dead. Better take the red pill

Is the subject "Future for our nation"? Where & how did it first started, where we are now and what are we going to be? I tot this is an intersting subject. We are lead by lawmakers who have successfully "housed" (or boxed up) millions of ppl into extremely organised "pigeon holes". The future of our nation? If the word "nation" refers to everyone and not just some, then I hope our minds (everyone and not some) are not as "housed" like our physical being is. When the country can no longer contain the new and fast-changing globalization brought about by new technologies like the internet, etc, we are forced to a new realisation. Suddenly we realise how small we can be. We want change. We need change. We have no choice. We are attempting to change a largely efficient bureaucratic environment, hoping to breed the entreprenuers of the future. I am thankful though that our leaders realise this fast enough. Fact is, we are in a reactive mode in this merciless wind of change. Hopefully, our minds do not rest on the statistics of our past or on-going achievements. If we want to change our students today, we should have first changed our teachers yesterday. The values that are feeding the vanities of our minds today ought to be questioned. Today we wow the mercedes and its drivers, while the official legalized loan-sharks are laughing their day in their banks. Ask how many of these beloved majority of Singaporeans are still living in "middle earth" thinking that all is well. The future of Singapore is not going to be shaped by the cream only, the high IQs though they have their place. It will also be shaped largely by the sleeping giants - those who still think their minds should live with their bodies in their HDBs, those who think that they are lesser than the higher IQs, those who conform their limits and allow themselves to be categorised to that of EM1s or EM2s, those seemingly Ah Bengs and Ah lians who are yet to realise how their guts could be transformed to better things,etc... If Singapore's future is to be BIG, then perhaps it will do us good if our sleeping giants will awake - the sooner the better. What is there to celebrate in "success" if we don't understand failures? How to fail, if in the first place we have not the courage to?

Singapore has hope when our arrogant mindless teens wakes up rather than indulging in unproductive activities.
A generalized statement, bt sadly thats the case today.
I agree with some forumers above abt Singaporeans need to show more care and concern.
