After
the passing of the pioneer generation Singapore will go on with a new
breed of Singaporeans. For this I really mean new Singaporeans, not the new
citizens or the masses of foreigners. The new Singaporeans will be very new in
many aspects.
First,
they are born at a time of prosperity and have not faced real hardship, at
least most of them. They did not know what it would be like when there was no
roof on the head, no job, no food on the table and having to go hungry, wearing
old clothes and begging for jobs.
The
new Singaporeans have a totally new mindset, very confident and assured of
themselves. Nothing will go wrong or can go wrong. There is a super efficient
govt that would take care of them and of everything. Tomorrow is always better.
Life is a party
When
foreigners are flooding the island, taking up many jobs, the new Singaporeans
would not feel a thing and believe it is for the better, to better their lives.
There is nothing wrong with that. Life is good and the foreigners are
contributing to the vibrancy of the island. The legislating away of their life
savings also did not mean anything to them. It is a good thing. The idea of no
car ownership and taking public transport are also good things.
All
the new concepts are embraced happily as the way life should be. Their degrees
and certificates are new too, some never got to use them. Some never got to use
their brains too. No need to think. Some no need to work and their brains are
preserved in pristine condition, never work before, never put in positions to
test if their brains can function at higher levels of demands. This is unlike
the pioneer generation when they had to work real hard, to crack their brains
to be successful. Today, success is on the table. There is nothing to think
about. Ya, life is a party. Just enjoy
and live life without a worry, without having to think. The good govt will do
all the thinking and planning. The new Singaporean brain is really well kept
and new. They are in great demand for brain transplants, the fresh and hardly
used or unused brains available in Sin City . Everyone is praising how
good and new the Singaporean brain is, hardly used, clean and hygienic, fed with the best food and preserved by the best medical system. And fully loaded with information from the best education system, waiting to be used.
Someone
used the term the unthinking Singapore flock in TRE. He must
have noticed that the new Singaporeans did not use their brains any more. Let
the chenghu do whatever they think is right, whatever chenghu said is right.
Chenghu said must be good, just do. If any wrong they have a good chenghu to
take care of everything.
