The
Singapore, our country, is there
for ‘US’ to make. The “US’ are Singaporeans, not PRs, the people that made this
country what it is today and will continue to make this country a liveable
place for our children for generations to come.
Our
Singapore, our country, its fate,
what it should be, must by decided by ‘US’ and not by a few individuals who
think they know best and what is good for ‘US’.
The
Singaporeans must make this country and govt to serve the interests of ‘US’ the
citizens foremost. And we can be generous and charitable to foreigners who come
here to visit or to work. It must not be the other way, when we are second to
foreigners and PRs and have to depend on their generosity and charity. The
foreigners and PRs are here because we have built such a great city for them to
live their dreams and make a good living. We allowed them, we gave them the
opportunity, not the other way. While doing this, we must not sacrifice or
compromise the well beings of our citizens to the extend that they become
jobless and have to scrape for a living, with low paying and unwanted jobs,
with no job security while having to cope with extremely high cost of
everything.
We
must be the owners, we are the owners of our country. We must be in charge and
not foreigners in charge. The foreigners, including the PRs, are here with our
consent and approval, enjoying our kindness at our discretion. The
Singaporeans, the ‘US’, must not be dependent
and at the mercy of foreigners for jobs and our well being. We are the host and they the guests. This must be the permanent formula and the host must not be elbowed out by the guests.
I
wish all Singaporeans a happy National Day fills with hopes of a better
tomorrow, for all Singaporeans and their children.
