Bend down - This is Singapore

If Malaysia has "Malaysia Boleh", and Nike has "just do it", ours must surely be "Bend down - this is Singapore"

This must be the only country in the world that bends over backwards to accommodate the wimps and fancies of all foreigners. Not just Ang Mo tuakees but even the Indian, PRC and Filipinos are also now in the tuakee category.

We not only bend backwards but also forward and we seem to do it at the drop of the hat. I now waking up in the morning imagining our leaders bending repeatedly and offering themselves easily just to keep the GDP going.

Which dipstick came out with the policy to allow an entire family of foreigners to have PR except their NS aged sons. Which dipstick came up with the policy to give away our passport within 2 years and within 1 year for certain cases. Which dipstick came out with a white paper on population with no bearing on ground sentiments.

In 1986 and I remembered the year clearly as I saw this bricklayer with a straw hat working at a site at Ama Keng. I knew that he was Chinese but his clothes and height made him stand out. He was thin and heavily tanned. I asked around and I was told that he from China and he was part of small and discrete scheme where certain skilled artisan was brought in. I later checked and found that they were allowed to work and stay in the rural areas of Singapore and that they were carefully screened. Their scheme allowed them over a period of time to acquire local citizenship. I admired how had this chap worked and wished there were more. I also understood the sensitivities behind this quiet scheme as the local malays and Malaysia would be concerned that the Govt was addressing the declining birthrate of local Chinese from China. This was before the HK scheme was introduced.

How things have changed.

Now they have started scolding and abusing Singapore Chinese at hawker centres, writing disparaging comments whilst on state scholarship , absconding after graduation.

This is truly madness.

The Singapore passport has been cheapened. It has been abused by all and sundry. Foreigners enjoy all the fruits of our hard labour but abscorn when it is their turn to perform NS or give back something to the country.

Or property prices are sky high due to the hoard of foreign rent seekers.

And to top it all the fucking govt allows foreigners to treat locals like dirt, discriminate against them in employment, and insult our dignity.

What a fucked up government.

Not only that. Indian nationals with new PRs swarming and swamping private condos and demanding privileges like "cricket pitches for their 10-15 year olds", bringing in loads of Indian friends to litter, make noise, and generally behaving like they have owned the whole place, and having taken over the mini-supermart, inviting cronies like the State Bank of India to open ATMs when the Indians are still not a majority yet.

Even the Bangla working in my block has become bolder and starts bitching loudly about residents, something I have never seen or heard before.

They are saying "your govt wants us here, because you all dont want to work, or not smart enough."
