I have said this before, whenever LKY make a speech, the TV in the house would be ON, when I was young; my late mother would remark that the "non-Chinese" is talking again, that include the numerous National Day Broadcast when it started on the telly.
I consult the doctor's at OPD ( Out Patient Dispensary) or any government hospital or attend , "government aided" school, my card or report book is Marked "FREE". So,can you guess, whom did the family members voted for? definitely not the Barisan Socialis or David Marshall's Workers Party; but, after many years of "screwing" the people....my late mother, stopped voting for that "non-Chinese" or baba...& the family too. Just like buying a "MAC"...you never loo back!
When they started giving, "ang baos", "freebies" & canoodling with the "pioneers", "feeding " the civil servants etc...they are opening the "pandora box", going backwards on what they preaches of a "welfare society"....there will come a day, when the "santa claus" gift bag is no longer full & the spaces to the bottom of the bag is long, this will be a day of reckoning.
What do we need now?, people who are lean & hungry with a fire in their eyes, hunger in the belly, like those people in the past who ran this nation, when they were an opposition party, working hard to become the ruling party We need to change these people that are offered today, 50 years had been a long time...it is time!
