Gahmen willing to accept FTs' deficiencies but NOT same for sinkies

[Confuseous]

PAP elitism is not just about amplifying the glorious achievements of leadership but also about amplifying the inadequacies of ordinary Singaporeans. Ordinary Singaporeans are never good enough for the leadership - I often wonder if one of the favorite past-time of our leaders is to discuss the deficiencies of lesser mortal Singaporeans and how we fall short of their high standards.

My point is this. Over the decades, the very domineering PAP govt has put many demands on Singaporeans - be more courteous, do not spit and litter, don't chew gum, be bilingual, speak proper English not Singlish, flush toilet after use, You get this sensing that Singaporeans are perpetually not good enough for our leaders. Not courteous, don't speak proper English, not good at 2 languages, not graceful ...and so on. They were serious about fixing what they saw as deficiencies in Singaporeans.

When it comes to foreign imports, it is almost like "anyone will do". Don't speak good English? ...never mind, here's a scholarship come study here for free. Don't have courtesy? Lets just tell ordinary Singaporeans not to be xenophobic and tolerate it...
