There have been many comments telling foreigners to become citizens, to be one of us, to do NS etc etc. This is not much different from being invited by a prostitute to become another prostitute in a whore house. Our citizenship is so cheap, so shameless and unworthy, to be given away to anyone freely.
Isn’t citizenship, to be the citizens of a prosperous, safe and rich country something valuable? We are now saying anyone can come and be one of us. Some Sinkies even beg foreigners to be one of us. How cheapo can we be? Our citizenship is actually one of the most highly sought after among the citizenships of developed countries. And silly Sinkies are treating it like a piece of toilet paper, like the pink (or is it yellow) card of prostitutes? Come, come, come and get it.
The other stupid thing that I am hearing is that anyone can come and serve in our military? Do we know who that person is, what is his agenda, where is his loyalty, and what he can do with the military secrets that he will be exposed to? Do we trust any stranger with our military secrets? Are we so trusting and gullible like prostitutes? Anyone can come here and screw us? Oops, my apologies to the prostitutes. I think the prostitutes are much smarter streetwise and they don’t offer themselves for free.
For goodness sake, Sinkies, have some pride in yourself, in your country and the citizenship. Be proud of them and treasure them and not give them away like freebees. Stop behaving like prostitutes, with no pride, no identity, no values, except thinking of money.
Our citizenship does not come only with the right to be a citizen and the right to work here. It comes with a lot of perks and substantial monetary value. Getting our citizenship is like striking lottery to many. Their HDB flat will bring them instant profit in the hundreds of thousands of dollars should they sell it latter. And the innumerable subsidies in education, in national bonuses, angpows, subsidies for hospitalization, for conservancy charges, top up of Medisave etc etc, these are all real monies.
How silly can Sinkies be?
Foreigners should remain foreigners, at most PRs without the same privileges as Sinkies. And only foreigners that meet our criteria of what we want may be granted citizenship. Now we are flooded with all kinds of flotsam floating in the seas. Is that what we want?
We have louts, touts and thugs. I just viewed the video clip of an Ah Tiong threatening a Sinkie in a train. Do we need such aggressive country bumpkins of the 19th century? Maybe there is a reason to import such uncouth peasants to boost our dying and degenerating genes of Pampered, Meek, Effeminate and Timid Sinkies.
Sinkies need to be assaulted, beaten, chased around by foreigners, to be yelled at in their own country. The Ah Tiong would not see daylight if he was in any country where the citizens have pride in themselves and believe that foreigners have to know their place in their country. In this Sin City, foreigners are here to kick the locals around.
Yes, make more of such talented peasants into our citizens and we will have a more gracious society, with nice people around.
