So a farmer fattens up his cow, chicken and pig.
He lets the cow graze at the best fields he can find, causing the cow to produce the best milk possible.
He feeds the chicken lots and lots of grains to obtain the most eggs in the shortest time.
He feeds the pig the left-overs from the other 2.
However, when the time comes, he doesn't wait long to bring them all to the slaughterhouse to make the most profit.
Well, the cows are the elites. Chickens are the FTs and pigs- you guessed it: Singaporeans.
And the one who controls its all: our beloved govt.
What the older generation Govt has done for us, I'm sure we appreciate. To bring us from third world to first world in one generation, is no mean feat.
However what the present govt is doing is akin to bringing us to the slaughter house, to maximise their profits for returns. Milking us dry and deciding our future for us.
How can we Singaporeans compete with foreigners and hope to survive when they are given so many privileges over us and we aren't even given even footing.
This happens in many areas such as in education with many scholarships given to foreigners and in the workplace too where Singaporeans with reservist liabilites are held down and made undesireable.
What say you? Is the PAP treating us like the pigs and then complaining when we are less productive and less capable than the cow and chicken?
