After that video 'went viral', the out-of-job Nair guy immediately got a gig at a sports channel. Porlumpar is the best!
In Spore being loyal to the country is really not an issue because most of us are just expandable digits to the PAP.
The PAP has called us "lesser mortals" & that is what we are to the elites. Their policies reflect this attitude & so it shouldn't be surprising to anyone that only the brainwashed, deluded & cronies would support the PAP.
Sporeans are a pragmatic bunch & if we are called to risk our lifes, many are going to do a risk benefit analysis. So what will we get for putting our lifes at risk for the benefit of the PAP
Some will say we will be forced to defend our loved ones but I say why not take the ones you care with you & run & leave behind those you dislike![]()
No. Asset not necessary to be property or sing dollar. Can be art or gold or us dollar, all good on the run and banks are all global now. Few others but the poorest sinkie with most of their assets tied up in property or families with young children/infirmed elderly will have no choice but to fight. You put too much faith in sinkies, but as you said most people in the world are like that. 3 in 10 is good estimate. If they die for singapore, it is incidental, not with some patriotic fervour like silly man who make video.
The vast majority will have their assets mostly in Singapore alone and probably their house would be their main asset. Once a core group of Singaporeans decide to fight, the weak and unsure will follow as they realise the have little in terms of options. I have no doubt that some will flee.
I do agree that it will be unlikely due to patriotism and more due to practicality and lack of options. We can definitely thank the PAP for failing on building the national psyche.
Heck I’d even vote for the PAP...

i'm not dying cause your landed property needs some defending

A house is only a thing & when the war is over we can probably return with a new bunch of leaders running the show. Who knows they may even be better than the current bunch
So why lose your life![]()
Some may think that this is a defeatist attitude but just look at Spore's past & how a certain person survived & thrived to become Spore's hero & founding father![]()
Almost all Sinkies don't even own a piece of land in Sinkieland. All the HDB pigeonhole land is owned by the PAP govt, all the 45yr, 60yr, 99yr leasehold land is ultimately owned by the PAP govt. Only a very tiny percentage of Sinkies own freehold land in Sinkieland.
To protect the new citizens who wouldn’t have taken our passports if they had to serve NS, or who took our passports as a jumping stone to another country?
Even the Policemen during the Little India riots were afraid to die.
Why should Sinkie peasants fight and die to protect the land assets of the super rich land owners and super rich PAP aristocrats who control most of the land?
