Dear Leader, We love you

The annual ritual in North Korea to pay homage and respect to Kim Il Sung has been going on for several decades and would not go away. The North Koreans truly love their Dear Leader for his great contribution to the building of their country and to give them a good life, peace and tranquility, low cost of living, cheap housing when freehold landed properties likely to cost a fraction of what Singaporeans are paying for a car. Free medical, free school, and many other free social services.

Yes they don’t have all the gadgets and all the luxury goods you find in Orchard Road. They do not need to keep building the Towers of Babel to accommodate more and more people, to maximize the use of our limited land and resources, limited water supply and practically zero energy sources, only to want to bring in more people to increase the population. This must be the only good reason why Singapore exists, the reason for Singaporeans to continue to work so hard, to build more towers into the sky.

Let’ say the North Koreans have different priorities. Life is simple and decent, no mad rush, no need for everyone to get a degree to live decently. We just discovered this secret to life, that it is silly to spend a life time struggling to pay hundreds of thousands for a worthless piece of paper. There is no need to have a degree to live well. Our ministers have been telling the daft Singaporeans not to be obsessed with degrees. Kim Il Sung’s Korea already been doing that decades ago.

What’s the point? They really, truly love their Dear Leader. At one time many daft Singaporeans were laughing themselves silly at the North Koreans for lining up in the streets to pay their last respects to their Dear Leader, to cry like babies for their Dear Leader, to build silly monuments for their Dear Leader, to want to commemorate their Dear Leader, to want to remember their Dear Leader.

After 23 Mar, I think many Singaporeans understand how important is the Dear Leader to them. We are doing exactly what the North Koreans are doing today. True or not? Can we now appreciate the North Koreans a bit better and stop laughing at them if we do not want others to laugh at us for loving our Dear Leader so deeply and so zealous and enthusiastic in wanting to build more monuments to remember our Dear Leader? Their love for their Dear leader is as real as our love for our Dear Leader. Would anyone want to claim that the North Koreans are fake and we are the real stuff?

Is loving and honouring Dear Leader such a bad thing, to be mocked at as silly, brainless and unthinking people, that only the illiterate and poor farmers of North Korea will do?  Singaporeans are intelligent and thinking people, pragmatic and sophisticated, and should not be indulging in such silliness of the medieval age of kings and emperors?

Should not Singaporeans be proud to show their love and affection for Dear Leader and wear it as a badge of honour, of pride on their chests?

What do you think?

If Singapore wants more monuments for Dear Leader it can send missions to North Korea to learn from them in this area.  Our multi million dollar talent’s most able skill is to go on missions abroad to learn from other less talented people that are paid only a pittance. The North Koreans are really paid only for a song, but they are really good at building monuments. There are many things we can learn from them. We have many things in common.
