how many people here have a grandparent in singapore and think they have it easy?

i think its the duty of every singapore son to go forth and make it big and give their elderly sinkie $200k.i want them to experience what Soylent green is like for a few years before they volunteer for euthanasia.

most pioneer generation i see are dead broke and decrepit,most of them are dragging themselves thru life and their sorry ass pathetic living existence.once i saw a elderly pioneer sinkie coming home from work after a shift at mcdonalds.he was hobbling along so slowly it looked like he was almost going to fall over dead,after buying my food and heading back i was shocked to see the same old man just on the other side of the bridge.in the time it took me to walk a couple hundred meters,buy my food and walk back,the old man had barely made it across the bridge,he look like he needed wheelchair assistance and could barely walk let alone work a 9 hour shift at mcdonalds.

if i ever see the old man again i would give him $100k and ask him to go retire somewhere on a beach in gold coast,and fuck this country.

imagine his parent's generation,his generation,his children's generation worked their whole lives to build this country up into a rich metropolis,and ur country threw u aside.instead fucking foreigners and high caste shitskins get to enjoy all the wealth and prosperity in ur country,live in tanjong rhu condo enclaves,shop at cold storage,work at suntec city and marina bay financial center....while u get to drag ur cold dead corpse to mcdonald's at age 75 to work a bare minimum wage.

I can sympatise with the old because I use the public transpor in Spore & it is very challenging if you have to use the overhead bridges to get anywhere.
It was especially hard after my heart attack

That is why I don't intend to stay in Spore when I get older.
