*Erm first and foremost this is nothing to do with politics..
Just my honest opinions and what's my view in Singapore for my 20 years of life..*
Well, there was a taxi uncle that inspired me to
give a thought about my dear country's future..
He was not very happy about the pap taking over potong pasir.
i asked why? he said Mr. Sitoh was not capable due to his easy going features, he prefered Mr. Chiam and candidates who are more outspoken.
However, he lead to Mr. Yeo's loss at the Aljunied grc.. which was much understandable, since we're loosing a voice from the minister of foreign affairs.
But I am glad that I was able to tell him a personal story told in a third person view that "uncle, you should know that we in Singapore are very fortunate."
We do not need to bare a country's needs and blames and opinions over our shoulders.
We're just a citizen yet, we're very carefree.
Maybe Im only 20, maybe I don't understand what had happened in the developing days of Singapore, but give it a look, we've come so far. It was the pap who actually started it all. But after this election, with a heart at young, im hoping for the better, im hoping for change. and quote from President Obama "yes, we can!" im hoping that if the pap wants to continue to serve us better, they should take this election and review what can be done. Singapore is small, but this small little country is full of hope. I think that none of us want to see all of our grandparents and parents hard work go to the drain in the next few decades.
I hope for change. I was born here, I have been around the world, I have seen and understand how lucky I am to be a Singaporean. I am thankful for what I am and who I've become. I just hope, in the near future, Singaporeans can understand that we're actually united as one. Status is nothing without a start of a hardship, we should always be thankful that we've come so far.
Sometimes, its just a matter of mindset that brings us off track and demand further especially when Singapore is by far the safest country that I can stay out late at night and still reach home safely. & my most humbled and honest opinion is that Singapore should bring back the courtesy behaviour. Because our society had changed, our standard of living increases, more and more Singaporeans are richer, we live for the status and not humanity anymore. The first step is change, that's all we need. Nothing is impossible, the only impossibility is you dont give it a try. Give ourselves a chance to make things better. A chance is all it takes to make a change.
peace out
