How many of us Singaporeans are actually enjoying their life here?
To be honest, i am speaking up on behalf of almost all the friends i have.
We are not happy with life here.
I am not going to pin point whoever is at fault and hence a holism approach was preferred.
We are all chained to commitments.
chained to our 9 to 5 jobs, our schools and our parents.
while some of us are blessed with parents who have already gotten over the stage of having a controlled mindset, most of us are left with parents who stay strong to their traditional beliefs and imposed rules on their children to be the people they want them to be.
and judging by today's context, most of our parents just want us to be working with high payroll. ensuring that we have great education.
that is where the standards are set and its really taking a toll on us youths who feel that life is not just about money. where is that freedom of speech, that desire to do arts? its simple that most of the kids now a days are being forced into their career path. so for those parents, please spare a thought for these individuals. don't let them be controlled just because you are. time has evolved. the need for artists and musicians is well needed for the growth of the nation.
and right now, it is pretty obvious that the standard of living here is really stressful. yes we have a lot of convenience here in our country but don't you guys think that its about the same thing at almost everywhere in town? like whats the point of having a clone war attack of shops and interest stores? clearly the variety we offer is not something to boast about. and speaking of that, i feel that the heritage parts of Singapore are being tarnished with the new upgrading works. making more rooms for more business-related buildings and identical malls. now it is difficult to find areas where it is still old-school. even though we are upgrading ourselves and our looks, we should never drop the consideration of our heritage. I mean that is what we used to be, what that makes the nation unique to begin with in the first place.
talking about freedom. where is it? we are all being controlled. our sport talents are replaced by foreigners. a nigga in our national team for soccer. now what can we say of that? and these foreigners are paid a ton just to migrate and serve this country that they were not born in. The loyalty is definitely not there. honestly, if this goes on, our local talents will continue to be overlooked as it is right now.and there is no freedom of growth for our locals. thats a big problem people. do we want singaporeans to die out and be extinct?
talk about money. everyday we are being leeched and for what price really?
i have a bike and i feel like i have to pay for almost everywhere i ride to. not mentioning the erp rates and the redundant need for payable parking. oh yeah that leads me to the tax imposed. we are paying more just because we have to pay the government. yes it is good to always be thinking of profits for the nation but if human rights are being disregard, we will better be of dead right? i mean whats the idea of being rich yet lead a stressful life? a life technically controlled by the country. this is not right. simply not right.
