Mirror Effect
Sometime,
I do ponder about why do some Singaporeans are so concern over whether that their “voices”
are heard by the authorities. Is this due to liberalization or modernization of
the society? Or is it due to influence of foreign culture or media? Or is it
due to the limited space that we have and now people feel that they want
attention?
First
of all, I feel that we are not totally unheard by our government. Hey, don’t
get me wrong… I do not belong to PAP or any political party. I just feel that
if your views are constructive and helpful to the country, I don’t see why any
government body will not take it. However, if it is just some personal opinion,
then remember that there are 4 millions such opinions out there.
Ironically,
I posted a comment about this issue on one such Singaporean’s blog. Guess what
the so called want-to-be-heard person seems to be not ready to hear what
others want to say, although he mentioned that I am trained to
speak-politically-correct by our government. Is this a mirror reflection of
oneself?
Sad
to say, I must say history has shown again and again that sometime freedom of
speech does not necessary mean betterment of the country. Just as I am watching
news about the protest over Taiwan
Suddenly,
some thought dawned on me… “Is Singaporeans too spoilt by the government?”, “Is
it when the younger generation gets more and more educated and prosperous, they
have start to forget what we are able to go this far is because our government bring
economic stability to the nation so that you have a job and a roof over your
head?”
Be
grateful you despicable brats….
