A child accompanies his father to a hawker center. After eating his food, an old lady came over to clean their. The little boy seeing the old woman weak and frail cleaning the table turn to his father and asked, " the woman is already so old and weak, how come she must still work? ". The father told the son if the old woman did not work the govt would have to spend money to take care of her and this money would have to come from the citizens.
There and then the father teaches the child the importance of money, the importance of guarding your own selfish interest first and how to think like the PAP. But it is not all true this reasoning that we are told. There is enough money just that the PAP govt prefers to spend on defense and thingsnd things like scholarship for foreigners ..which the PAP govt believes will ultimately strengthen Singapore's economy (by competing against Singaporeans for jobs? ).
By being economically expedient and spending excessively on defense the PAP
thinking is singapore will get stronger. This is not true.
Without a just cause. without strong purpose of building and preserving that which serves a higher moral purpose and common values worth preserving our society will go into.decline ...nobody lives.life will be willing to sacrifice it to.preserve an economic corporation that exists for the purpose.of prospering the few. neither can you stop corruption and rot by paying high salaries when there is no.sense of.moral.purpose....just look.at tge.many corruption cases we are seeing.
The father does better by telling his child it is wrong to make the old weak.lady work and we shoukd do our part to ensure it does not continue because the strength of our society depends on how.muxh one singaporean is willing to sacrifice for another. Leaders who.don't inspire a sense of purpose and who themselves set the wrong example of demanding the highest salaries.in the world...while so.many of our workers take home the lowest pay in the developed world, will not make this country stronger and more.cohesive
