[ 426. Ripped ]
:: a personal message to dear yogi :: why brand the people who leave singapore as bastards? i think they're pretty smart. and it isnt their fault they're leaving, its the government's. look at the screwed up educational policy we have in singapore. if you fail MT in your Os or As, you can't get into a local university. and if you can't get a place in a university, chances are, you're going to have a tough time getting a job. and even if you did have a degree, its going to be really hard. singapore's job market is in its worst state in 17years. why? cause we've been to dependent on shit like manufacturing and all. any tom, dick and hairy (ahh, yogi.) country can do that. economies that rely on creativity and brains tend to fair better.
business hub? singapore practically kill entrepreneurs. if you try and start a business and fail, and perhaps go bankrupt, thats it. your name is all over the papers and you'll be blacklisted by banks and companies alike, chances are, you'll never get to restart. who the dares to venture out in such a situation? china is going to eat up singapore as a trade and business hub. India has the potential to out do China. where does singapore stand? service sector? what, rub feet for foreigners?
technological hub? US and germany leads in technology. singapore so rarely have any breakthroughs cause our 'scientist' are mostly spoon fed throughout their decades of education. how in the world are they do be apt in research skills if all they ever do is read textbooks?
medical hub? even LKY's wife went to london for treatment recently for her stroke.
educational hub? well, plenty of my friends who are overseas scholars said that coming here was one of the biggest mistakes in their life. when i say the system sucks, i'm sure i speak for many of you.
cultural and arts hub? artist are paid just a couple of hundred dollars a month. the government doesnt help much. our art scene is so censored that their very essence of it is lost. singapore doesnt have a lack of musical talents, theres just a lack of talents who dare pursue their dream. the only time the government will support you is when you're already famous, like stef sun. by then, you wont even need the 'help' of the government.
so what is singapore going to do. we need reform. go ahead, start a rally, make yourself heard by all and i'll see your sorry ass splashed all over the front page of the straits times on your way to imprisonment. oh and speaker's corner is just a joke. now its just some desolate stump in the middle of nowhere.
singapore is on its way down a very deep shit hole. unless mindset of the policy makers change, we'll keep sliding.
the singapore government has contradicted itself, saying that it is time for a change in the people's mindset, that things arent as rosy as before and they have to be prepared to go overseas to work. yet, they call people who are leaving the country 'quitters'. its time for a change..
oh and yogi, i dont know about your brother, but i think people who claim that they go into NS to protect their country are just trying to console themselves when they face the inevitable. making themselves sound like a man with a noble cause when he is actaully merely a conscript. perhaps your brother truly wishes to protect his people, but i certainly doubt most people who proclaim that notion actually believe in what they say.
very true, i'd say.
