It is often said that the difference between a genius & a siaolang ( insane) is divided between a grey fine line....
Most Msians, even their Rulers, & some few Singaporeans back in 1965 at our independence laffed & called our revered & great Founding Father a siolang for accepting Independence for survival on a small piece of rock called Singapore.
No mortal is perfect, but WE, TOGETHER from our forefathers to us this generation, had worked extremely hard & proven how this small piece of rock can & had SURVIVED & THRIVED, FAR MORE than what Peninsula Msia had achieved in economic, politic, social & religious terms.
No doubt mistakes were made, but WE Singaporeans had proven that we can correct, & elevate ourselves beyond mere mistakes made to progress & evolve.
WHO amongst had NEVER made mistakes in life to claim perfection?
The insignificant nobody me certainly is NOT perfect, had made mistakes but acknowledged, corrected such to move on after paying a price & found SUCCESS in life, which is a long journey, regardless of brickbats by those whose only aim is to cut me down & demoralize me, when there is MORE within me & each of us to rise.
Should a citizen be HOUNDED for life, over one mere word, & be judged a siaolang for life, after he had proven DECADES of dedication to our National causes & Survival, more so an often ELECTED member of Parliament & Cabinet Minister by voters?
