Happy Birthday Singapore

9 August - Today is the day where all my countrymen comes together & celebrate our 40th Birthday. Today is the day where 60 years ago where US drop "Fat Man" to Japan where it ended WWII.. Today is the day where I couldn't sleep again.. Kaoz..

Anyway it great to see our nation has growth from strength to strength & starting to hear lots of good comments about our country (& bad as well) from American on the streets. You be surprise – I mean really surprise that how they wish their government follows the model of ours.. Whatever it is, Hope we will have another many many times 40 years of Nation celebrations on going.

Oh ya - Presidential election is round the corner & hopefully there’s a walkover again this time. :P No don’t get me wrong that I pro-PAP or anything that you can link me with, okie??.. The main reason on why I wish that is - I lazy to vote as it is still quite troublesome for oversea Singaporean like me to vote. Hee

Ok back to serious note – Frankly speaking, unless our country is to be declared as Martial Law state, it doesn’t make much different who is the president of Singapore. Sorry for saying that & again not trying to put down our president. The only power he/she has is veto power. Which still has to be agreed upon by his board of advisor. That why for those who served or still serving the army, the pledge goes something like loyal to the country & President of Singapore. (I think but sorry if I’m wrong).

Again I might be wrong so sorry for the wrong info - During the Martial law state – The whole parliament will be denounced & the 3 Armed forces will be directly in-command & report to the president.. That why as I say, it doesn’t makes much different who the number one man in Singapore.

The main reason why I feel our current president deserve to be our president once again is due to the fact I dare to say many of so called patriot Singaporean might not have a clue of it – In 1974, Singapore was under terrorists attack by the Japanese Red Army. And in order to save the civilian or causing more anymore damage to civilian structure, President Nathan volunteered to be taken as hostage & follow them all the way to Yemen – In exchanged for the safety of all Singaporeans. Just on this fact – I fully feel he deserved to be president for how many people in this world would be so self-less on his/her own safety?

No – I’ve no relatives on any accounts of my memories who are involved in that incident. And no I not Pro-gov. I believe in what Deng XiaoPing once said – As long it catches mice, I do not care whether it a black or white cat.

So hopefully he will win the election & again be the head of state once again. J

    Wah.. don come here & comment on racist stuff leh.. Wait FBI or CIA comes knocking my door how?? hehe. joking lah. Okie?

    Your blog tells me that you are unhappy because:

    1 - Unhappy with the current system we have.
    2 - Unhappy about our own countrymen are losing jobs to Foreign Talent who isn’t that great after all.
    3 - Unhappy on what so great about this so-called foreign talent when you think inferior on them.

    You are not racist because:

    a - You have not laid a finger on them - yet. (As far as I know)
    b - You are just uncomfortable with their skin color & their culture or way of life.
    c - You are dislike Chinese people as mentioned on the blog. Remember your ancestors are infact from China? That furthermore enhanced on my point A & 3. If you know what I’m trying to say…
    d - Lastly you feel you are somehow due to the fact of medias & friends who so call believed they are racist.

    Now on you are unhappy. There’s only couple of reactions that I know when one are unhappy with their life:

    i - Think/find of the cause of the issues & find a solution or refer for assistance.
    ii - Just do nothing & keep on be a whimper till the day you finally realised that what a joke & time wasted you have or, may never realised that.

    So if I’m right on my points that I doubt you will agree – Then you should know how to help yourself. It’s only matter of acceptance level on your part. Most likely you can’t change the system to your liking & in this current global world – Everywhere is pretty much the same but bit different on another angle..

    Well that my view & comment lor.. Not saying you are right, or wrong cause there’s no such things in this world - Just different perspective in views. Yours truly, not-that-racist-cum-not-that-silly-Sillypore.
