'Long live the Queen' archway in Queenstown raises some eyebrows

Sep 29, 2013

By Melody Zaccheus

An archway in Queenstown proclaiming "Long live the Queen" has left some scratching their heads, even as residents gathered last night for a concert to mark the estate's 60th anniversary.

The arch was put up as part of the celebrations at the estate, which was named after Queen Elizabeth II. Nine of 15 Singaporeans The Sunday Times spoke to described the arch as odd, calling it a "colonial hangover".

"It's not appropriate as we are an independent country and no longer under British rule," said polytechnic course manager Tia Boon Sim, 57, who lived in Queenstown for the first 16 years of her life.

Since Sept 13, the estate has been marking its anniversary with a two-week-long arts and heritage festival, which includes 37 performances and exhibitions. Over 22,700 residents attended these events. An anniversary concert was held at Tanglin Halt Community Plaza last night.

We're still a Commonwealth country, no? We're still using UK English, no? We still bend over backwards when the British royalty came to visit, no?

So, what's the problem, patriotic dumbfucks?

According to some uncles who still remember british rule, life was much better than it is today. They didn't try to squeeze Sporeans .
There were no mult-millionaire civil servants. Even LKY was sad to see them leave Spore

Sometimes I wonder if we would be better off under the british,,,actually HK has alot of freedoms,,but what fuck HK up was the control of the developers,,and this existed due to british control...but made worse by the CCP.

Now PAP is filling the role of the developers,,,,squeezing the people to get richer....

I have no doubt that life would have been better for "lesser mortals"
The fact that it was a PAP MP who used the term "lesser mortal" explains our current problem. Sporeans have simply exchanged rulers. We now have an emperor instead of a queen. At least under the Brits the common citizens enjoyed some rights.

No wonder Old Fart had to say singapore was a fishing village. He had to made the POMs look bad to make himself look better...

I think LKY is over rated. Little credit is given to the nameless others who did the actual work. Once he ups the lorry there will be a more balanced review of what he actually did & not do.
Without the protection of the "official" media he may even become someone despised , something like Stalin, Marcos, Suharto, ... Just another opportunist.

KNNBCCB Lee Kuan Yew if he has his way he will definite change it to Harrytown, why not it's in Tanjong Pagar GRC. :oIo:PAP :oIo:LKY

 

[The_Hypocrite]

If we look at media changes for the past 10 years or even more, there has been more praise on Old fart and pinky and the work done by the old guards have been diminished.

Look at Goh keng swee,,,its amazing how little many singaporeans know of him.

LKY should be credited for using the capable people who contributed greatly to Singapore then. eg: that Dutch economic adviser.

when we have a non-PAP government. the historical revisionism of LKY and PAP will naturally develop. we will have the balanced review ( both positives and negatives ) of our country's history.

Something like Pottersville in the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" where Mr. Henry F. Potter aka LKY is the slumlord
