Is Singapore Really In A Hopeless Case of 'To Each His Own' Survival State?

Some people believe that Singapore is now in a hopeless state and we must, therefore, seek wealth and well-being for ourselves - the selfish individual self. Is this true?

The individuals who hold that belief could have been led to such a mental defeatist attitude by the example of the greedy leaders who are enriching and agrandising themselves, and simultaneously glorifying and empowering their positions no end.

However, there is another belief. The belief that the destiny of a country is based on a higher set of values, instead of the depravity of power and human greed.

All we need is a few GOOD MEN. Don't ever give up hope. Without HOPE, humans would have been destroyed by themselves long ago.

Every life is living because of HOPE. Every living being is living because there is HOPE for change, evolution for the better. Nobody hope for the worst. Not even the coronavirus! It mutates frequently to improve itself.

Do not subscribe to a defeatist attitude. A defeatist mentality is doomed to extinction like the dodo bird of Mauritius. We must never think that Singapore is hopeless and every one should be for himself /herself. We can still come together to build a better Singapore in the near future, if not for ourselves, at least for the sake of our children and their children.

Lee Kuan Yew did it because he had a Few Good Men. With this team, he was able to lead Singapore to where it was 20 years ago (before his son took over), with only 1.6 million people in 1965, mostly uneducated and illiterate, but hardworking and determined.

If Lee Kuan Yew could do it with much less manpower and resources, why can't others? Why can't his successor? His own eldest son?

Ironically, it was he who had planted the seed for Singapore’s decay and decline. He put up a one-man-operation (OMO) System that has to be supported by "Yes-men", with a few decorative peripheral "Yes-women".

This LKY System can only be effective and competent if run by LKY with his team of Few Good Men. Once the Few Good Men had been systematically removed, it also set the clock clicking for Singapore’s eventual decay and decline, which had led Singapore to the pathetic and tragic state it is today.

However, there is still HOPE. Singapore is still not a hopeless case. We can build a new system, a better system than what it is today. Anyone who tell you that the status quo is the way to go, he must be someone with a selfish personal agenda. Don't take him seriously.

As we can see, there are still good and capable people around in Singapore. When the situation has deteriorated to a precarious stage, I am sure those Few Good Men will come out to take on the responsibility to rebuild Singapore again, to build a new System for ALL.

It takes all sorts of people to fill this world. There are people who build new systems. There are people who maintain old systems that still work effectively. There are people who exploit the system and there are people who only know how to destroy the system.

However, the worst type of people are those who continuously and persistently destroy the system but still think highly of themselves that they are running the systems so very well that they deserve to become multi-millionaires overnight for running down the system. These are the scumbags and rubbish bins of a sick society. These people are bound to deteriorate, decay and rot like rubbish in one form or another. These self-enriching people are not what Singaporeans should look up to. These must be discarded like the rubbish we throw into the rubbish chutes everyday. If not, once the rubbish accumulates for too long, it will smell badly, abhorrently stinking!

Once the rubbish is cleared, Singapore will be clean again. That day for a thorough cleaning will come. That day must come, inevitable!

So, Don't Lose HOPE!
