Wisdom is an exquisite and priceless acquisition that comes about not in times of peace, luxury, over indulgence and decadence. It is something similar to the proverbial, never spare the rod, or experiences acquired during hard times and crises. There will be other aspects of wisdom that could be acquired in peace and prosperity, including the obvious, gloating and bragging, complacency and over confidence. History makes good leaders or good leaders make history?
The hard times when Singapore was struggling to survive as a new nation state, the drive and determination to overcome the odds, threw up a bunch of leaders confronting many difficult issues of survival and basic needs. The consciousness and awareness of the threats to people and nation were extremely acute. No time for mistakes and tiada apa attitude. No time to brush aside issues and problems, to sweep them under the carpet and hope that they will not reappear again. The reality, everything under the carpet will remain there and will surface at the most critical moment to make its impact at its worst.
In times of affluence and plenty, every problem can be wished away by superficial or convenient excuses. Never mind lah. No problem. Why so serious? Every action, decision or policy made would have their clever excuses and justifications when no one wants to deal with them seriously or has the wisdom to see the serious consequences in the future. At it worst, they would become existential issues, the fall of an Empire, a civilisation, a nation state, the well being of a people.
Taiwan is a good example, being misled by traitors to disown their ancestry, to distance themselves from their Motherland and origins, to choose to be aligned with foreigners that used to massacre and rule over them viciously. America is in a bigger shithole, being sold outright by traitors to a little non state called Israel. When an Empire, the most powerful nation in the world, can be taken over and controlled by a small foreign country across an ocean, what chance is there for a small and young nation state? The Jews not only controlled and blackmailed the President, they bought out the whole Senate and Congress! The sovereignty of Singapore had changed hands many times before, and for it to change hands in the future, taken over by foreigners, is chicken feat.
Foreigners are now controlling the mindset of Singaporeans from the babies at home, to the industries and political offices. And these are happening voluntarily, happily, by invitation and with gusto. Foreigners are welcomed into the homes and country, into the ministries, into offices etc etc with not a gram of concern or fear. Many tragedies had occurred to babies and infants in the care of foreigners with no background checks but with full trust and confidence. And this is extended to corporations, ministries and high offices. Singaporeans were brought up under a system of law and order and little crimes, like a frog in a well, all is fine and good, every foreigner is as innocent and gullible as Singaporeans, easy to cheat and con.
When the infants were brought up by foreigners, grew up in the arms of foreigners, when the industries were taken over by foreigners, when the education institutions were taught by foreigners and their foreign values, when ministries and political offices embraced foreigners like families, nothing will go wrong? Singaporeans are so trusting, even of foreigners. Brought up and raised under the banyan tree, protected and sheltered from the extremes of weather, there is no danger, never think of danger around them, closest to them. Everything will be taken care off by the govt. Think of what will happen if the govt is taken over and controlled by foreigners, like the USA.
With the new generations growing up in times of plenty and luxury, not through adversity, there is no fear of danger around the corner. No instinct to protect oneself, all the guards are down. So trusting of foreigners. Singapore cannot create an artificial environment with threats and crises to relearn the wisdom and instinct to survive in trying times. The danger is that good times are taken for granted, will last forever. There is nothing to fear, nothing to go wrong. Trust them, they will be like us, they will trust us and love us and be grateful to us. These are the early signs of self destruct. The third generation.
