Superficially Singapore appears to have very few problems, very few serious problems. Our main media pages are sprawled with very mundane life issues, about petty irritations and quarrels, about hawker food, about pets and dogs. Our problems will be seen as luxury to countries facing serious existential problems of survival, poor or no housing, joblessness, high temperature threatening life, foreign invasion, being bombed, being killed, being threatened to be taken over, leaders being kidnapped or blackmailed to do the bidding of foreign powers etc etc.
Is it true that Singapore has no serious problems? Or is it a case of not seeing the elephants in the room? What are our security people doing to protect Singapore's safety and security? Are they scratching the wrong head, whacking the wrong trees? They appear to be working very hard, clamping down on every little noise that appeared, rightfully or wrongfully, over zealous, or barking up the wrong tree?
The most common issues raised are about race, language and religion. And it seems that the security people are closely monitoring them and all seems to be well controlled. No chance to break out. They have even forgot about the Little India Incident, thinking that it was a fluke, will not happen again, like a once a hundred year ponding.
Our problems are not just race, religion and language. Our economy, good jobs, good housing, space, social equality, the tussle between Singaporeans and foreigners. The latter is being blurred with some choosing to sweep this under the carpet. Trust the foreigners, let them take over everything as long as they are good. Or give them a pink IC and they will become one of us. The foreigners will become like us, love us, not we become like them,...or the foreigners will always be foreigners with different affiliation and loyalties and have different dreams.
The line drawn about citizenship is now so loose, to some, not important. We are so international, so cosmopolitan, no need to be bothered about citizenship, about us and them. We can give pink IC to everyone, the more the merrier. It is good for us.
The conventional wisdom of Singapore is actually quite frightening. The foreigners, the peoples of the world, do not think like Singaporeans, do not share our values or what is important or not important to Singaporeans. It is not just a self radicalised youth or a few postings in social media. It is deep and systemic across industries and societies. Terrorism is an American red herring. It is their ploy to attack Arabs and Muslims and to divert the attention away from American state terrorism all over the world. Stop being so gullible to fall for this silly ploy. We have let our guards down and focusing on the wrong issues, the wrong threats to our safety and existence. Not to belabour the points, there are many elephants in the room that have been ignored, pretend that they are not there, will not be problems, just wish them away and hope for the best.
The signs of Singapore charting its own destruction are all there. The seeds have been planted and growing. Do not ignore the elephants in the room. Singapore cannot afford a single mistake. It will be all over, no second chance. Singapore cannot be deluded to think that all is fine, all is well under control.

See nothing, hear nothing, say nothing and do nothing.
Can't see. It is rather dark.
Yes, just like the recent banning of certain website/video of "chinese" people voicing concern about too many "indian" in singapore. PAP just want to frame it as racist or foreigner wanting to creating division among the races here. The elephant in the room is actually CECA.

You r right...if it's out of control it will be another Little India incident.
If one cannot see the elephants, one would be crushed by the elephants. Pretending the elephants are not there would not save the situation.
As long as they can use 'China' as the scapegoat and please their Western master, all will be fine.In his recent speech, LW thinks UassA will be perpetually leading the rest of the World and with continued support from all Westoids.
But Sinkieland has a high population of blind loyal Sheeple, who would jump or crawl at the order from the White party!
