After
the passing of the pioneer generation Singapore
First,
they are born at a time of prosperity and have not faced real hardship, at
least most of them. They did not know what it would be like when there was no
roof on the head, no job, no food on the table and having to go hungry, wearing
old clothes and begging for jobs.
The
new Singaporeans have a totally new mindset, very confident and assured of
themselves. Nothing will go wrong or can go wrong. There is a super efficient
govt that would take care of them and of everything. Tomorrow is always better.
Life is a party
When
foreigners are flooding the island, taking up many jobs, the new Singaporeans
would not feel a thing and believe it is for the better, to better their lives.
There is nothing wrong with that. Life is good and the foreigners are
contributing to the vibrancy of the island. The legislating away of their life
savings also did not mean anything to them. It is a good thing. The idea of no
car ownership and taking public transport are also good things.
All
the new concepts are embraced happily as the way life should be. Their degrees
and certificates are new too, some never got to use them. Some never got to use
their brains too. No need to think. Some no need to work and their brains are
preserved in pristine condition, never work before, never put in positions to
test if their brains can function at higher levels of demands. This is unlike
the pioneer generation when they had to work real hard, to crack their brains
to be successful. Today, success is on the table. There is nothing to think
about. Ya, life is a party. Just enjoy
and live life without a worry, without having to think. The good govt will do
all the thinking and planning. The new Singaporean brain is really well kept
and new. They are in great demand for brain transplants, the fresh and hardly
used or unused brains available in Sin City
Someone
used the term the unthinking Singapore
Must agree, with so many parrots that can only parrot but not using their bird brains.
ReplyDeleteThe new Singaporean = the old Singaporean = loyal PAP voters
ReplyDelete- it's still the same old bunch of daft motherfucking PAP bitches
Singaporeans can stay as Singaporeans, Nothing wrong with that. I am Singaporean, to the day I stop breathing.
ReplyDeleteHowever in order to not only survive but prevail, the thinking must change. Or end up extinct like the dinos.
>> whatever chenghu said is right. Chenghu said must be good, just do. <<
Good luck with that ;-)

ReplyDeleteAiyo .....
Uncle RB: "After the passing of the pioneer generation Singapore will go on with a new breed of Singaporeans."
ReplyDeletePart of the PG is pre-WW2 generation?
And the rest of the PG babyboomer generation?
DeleteAfter the baby boomers, the X-gen then Y1-gen ( 1980-1989 ), Y2-gen ( 1990-1999 ) and finally the Millennium or Tap-generation?
DeleteY2-gen and the MI-gen are born into a time of the internet ( 1995 onwards ), iPod, iPhone, iPad and now SnapChat. ......
DeleteIn the early 50s, "computer" is still a room-full of connected test-tube without any "storage device" .......?
DeleteIt took a new China-arrival in the US call Wang An to "discover" the ground-breaking "storage technology" which he sold to IBM for about US$400,000 in around 1953.
The gap ( and gulf ) between the PG and the "new Singaporeans" could be as big as the computer technology of the 1950s and the 2010s?
DeleteWhat does the Y2 and MI-gen stand for?
DeleteMe?
I?
Mine?
DeleteHow big is the gulf between the marble-playing and spider-catching PG during their childhood and the MI-GEN growing up with smart phone technology and "snapchatting" their daily encounters?
DeleteDo they understand each other at all?
DeleteIs the PG over-worried about the MI-GEN or their concern is "genuine and well-founded"?
DeleteUncle RB wrote // Someone used the term the unthinking Singapore flock in TRE. He must have noticed that the new Singaporeans did not use their brains any more. //
DeleteAre the Gen-Y and Tap-generation using their brains?
Is that what the PG is worried about?
Why is the PG so worried about the Gen-Y and MI-Gen when many of these young adults and youngsters are many times more travelled at their age than the entire life of the PG put together?
DeleteWhy should the PG think the "new sinkies brain" is in "pristine condition "?
DeleteThe " new " Singaporeans will be better than the pioneer generation in that they will be made up of a mix of true blue Singaporeans and the intelligent and productive FTs. The FTs will inject a degree of vibrancy and "get-up-and-go" mentality into the Singapore gene pool. That can only be a good thing. Traditionally the true blue Singaporeans are wallowing in their comfort zone. A wake-up call is urgently needed to stir them up. Someone said not long ago Singaporeans need the spur to wake them up. Therefore the introduction of FTs into the Singapore gene pool can be the best thing for Singapore. Right Redbean???
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can see is that the new sinkies generation did not know that their country has been sold under their nose and still very happy about it.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha ha
DeleteHistory would put on record who sold the cuntry, when the selling took place and how it took place ( if it had taken place ) ......
The new generations could have been born after "it was sold" ( with the PG in "cahoot" )?
When the new generations came into being, the papigs were already in power for so long?
DeleteThey could not have put the papigs in power?
It was even less likely the cuntry was sold under their noses as they were not in existence yet?
Was it not the PG who put the papigs in power?
DeleteIf the cuntry were ( ever ) sold, was it not under the noses of the PG?
DeleteAfter the old guards stepped down, many new generations were not even born, much less witnessed the selling?
Could it be the ones who "committed burlary" shouted "thieves"?
The cuntry were "already sold when many in the new generations were born"?
DeleteAs for the generation-x, many are still in their infants when the old guards stood down?
How could they know what was going on and whether the cuntry was ( in the process of ) being sold?
Historians would put on record who "witnessed the selling under their very noses"?
Delete(Confused) Uncle RB // When foreigners are flooding the island, taking up many jobs, the new Singaporeans would not feel a thing and believe it is for the better, to better their lives. //
ReplyDeleteUncle!
Yew want to work backwards or forwards the sequence of the events?
Let’s use the "elimination method"?
DeleteIs it fair for the "courts" ( of public opinion ) to hold the Millennium-Generation "accountable" when the oldest now are still in secondary school and the youngest ......... ermmmmmmmm ......... 3 days old?
Delete(Confused Lao) Uncle RB, do YEW ( seriously ) think the Millennium - Generation is part of the new generation who "witnessed the cuntry sold under their noses"?
DeleteDo YEW ( seriously ) think ANYBOLEE will believe YEW in ( such ) a ( kongcum ) "allegation"?
DeleteAi "rest" my "case"?
DeletePls use YEWR ( "pea-sized" ) bean brain to figure out the "(serious) flaws" in YEWR "allegations"?
Many of "YEWR allegations" happened when the "new generation" were not even born or still in their infancy, how could they be part of anything that had "occurred"?

Whether it is khongcum or not khongcum depends on the size of your peasize brain.
Go and do a scan and see how big is your pea.
There is no need to argue about this fact. When a person has to earn some money by hiding under anonymity, shameful and afraid to identify himself, and calling other people names, you know how big is his pea brain and his credibility as a human bean.
Where is your dignity as a man?
RB, no need to waste your breath on such creatures of darkness. They will always hide in little dark corners ashamed to show their faces to light.
ReplyDeleteSg is only good for the rich and for the not rich, use sg as a stopover then move on to canada, nz or oz. Its not a good place to settle down permanently with kids. Many foreign talents even know about this.
