Looking at the news online about how a PRC family complained about their Indian neighbour cooking curry and managed to get them to not cook when they are not at home... we Singaporeans are doomed to lose our home country.... Singapore will not be know as Singapore for long.
I think we will be known as Interpore or Chinapore in future.
Even the semi government, CMC are siding the PRCs, where is our place in Singapore.... In the past, pple laments that they are not born in Singpaore due to her stability and stable government, Now we Singaporeans LAMENTs being born a Singaporean for we have no standing even in our own home contry. What bullshit is that in the theme in this year's National Day Parade.... All bullshit....
What is all this talk about calling all SIngaporean to move forward.... I think the government is asking all Singaporeans to move out to give space to Foreigners so they can bring Interpore to greater heights.
Pause to reflect what the Singapore Spirit is..... the spirit for Singaporeans is to change our way of living and adopt those of the FT..... The old saying of Do what the Romans do when in Rome does not apply here..... here is Singapore is Do what the 'invaders' do when in Singapore.
The theme for NDP 2011
Majulah! The Singapore Spirit is a rally cry that calls on all Singaporeans to move forward together to bring Singapore to greater heights, to excel in our diverse fields of work and play and to realise our fullest potential. Through the theme, we hope Singaporeans will pause to reflect and discover what the Singapore Spirit means to them. In sharing and passing on the Singapore Spirit to our children, and our grandchildren, we seek to strengthen our roots and at the same time inspire future generations to build a better home, a better Singapore

Do we want to follow the steps of Sparta or Athens???
When asked "What is the kind of Singapore you hope your grandchildren will inherit?", below is the answer by ex EDB chairman, Mr Ngiam Tong Dow.
A. Let's look at Sparta and Athens, two city states in Greek history.
Singapore is like Sparta, where the top students are taken away from their
parents as children and educated. Cohort by cohort, they each select their
own leadership, ultimately electing their own Philosopher King. When I
first read Plato's Republic, I was totally dazzled by the great logic of
this organisational model where the best selects the best. But when I
reached the end of the book, it dawned on me that though the starting point
was meritocracy, the end result was dictatorship and elitism. In the end,
that was how Sparta crumbled. Yet, Athens, a city of philosophers known for
its different schools of thought, survived. What does this tell us about
out-of-bounds markers? So SM Lee has to think very hard what legacy he
wants to leave for Singapore and the type of society he wants to leave
behind. Is it to be a Sparta, a well-organised martial society, but in the
end, very brittle; or an untidy Athens which survived because of its
diversity of thinking? Personally, I believe that Singaporeans are not so
kuai (Hokkien for obedient) as to become a Sparta. This is our saving
grace. As a young senior citizen, I very much hope that Singapore will
survive for a long time, but as an Athens. It is more interesting and worth
living and dying for.
