The Deep-Rooted Culture Of Entitlement In Singapore by Future Kings

The culture of entitlement has taken a deep root in the Singapore society slowly but surely over the past 50 years of PAP reign. How did it all started? It started with meritocracy (rewarding and promoting anyone who performs well) that raised a few farmers and peasants onto the high pedestal of society, e.g. a washer-woman’s son was raised to the most powerful position of the land. After a few of such meritocrats attained high status, wealth and power, they began to think of themselves as The Elite Class, who are entitled to rule the country because they are the best thinkers and performers. After ruling the country for some time, they began to think that they are entitled to rule forever and so they proclaimed themselves as The Aristocrat Class, the Untouchables. No one can challenge them. No one can criticise them. No one should tell them what or how to do certain things. No matter what actions they take, they must always be right. Never wrong. Never need to apologise. They are now entitled to do wrong things and be considered as right. This is the epitome of Entitlement and the zenith of Meritocracy. It is now called Meritocrazy!

Even opinions are now considered as an entitlement!

Opinions are expressions under the article of Freedom of Expressions enshrined in our National Constitution. They are not entitlements. Every intelligent human being is born with the freedom to express himself or herself. This is Natural Law, not man-made law. It is power-crazy men and women who try their best to suppress and alter this Natural Law of Freedom of Expression and Freedom of Experience that has brought so much injustice and suffering into the world.

Entitlement, similar to privilege, means someone/authority gives it to you. Which means it can also be withdrawn from you if you behave badly or not in line with what has been laid down by that someone or authority.

The Freedom of Expression enshrined in the Constitution nobody can take back from you. Not even the highest court of the Land. Unless the Constitution is suspended and a new Constitution is drawn up and approved in a Referendum to replace the previous Constitution. Many military coups’ junta simply abolished the old constitution and replaced it with a new one. Never go through proper legal process. No referendum. No elections. No consensus. Power simply rose from the barrels of the guns. He who holds the gun holds the power.

The law of the jungle reigns supreme in times of disorder and chaos. It is the commoners who always suffer, always on the losing end. That’s why commoners are inclined to think of their freedom of expression as an ENTITLEMENT!

I have posted the above written by Future Kings.

I would like to add that there is something similar to entitlement, like I own this place so I dictate the rules for everyone to follow. This is an example of what a local bank will do when they called you for a survey or to find out something from you. After calling you they demanded that you identify yourself to them. They cannot tell the difference between who needs who? If I call someone for help, I don't ask the person to identify himself to me. That person does not need to talk to me or to assist me. And how stupid it is to call someone and still needs the person whom you already have the particulars to identify himself? What if the person say he is Lee Kuan Yew or Donald Trump? Who is wiser. But the mentality of those in power always take the position that they are in charge, your boss, and you need to comply and do what they want you to do, even if they call you for help. Singaporean mentality or some shit's mentality or mentality of people being in power for too long?
