Now who is being ungrateful? When a party controls the media and the msm, it can keep on drumming whatever that suits its agenda and no one is likely to dispute or even has the chance to dispute whatever it is saying. The people are ungrateful. This is the accusation heard all over and utter by many jokers. The PAP has built this country from a 3rd world to a 1st world, raised the quality of life of the people to Swiss standard, but the people are so ungrateful. Without the PAP and the founder of modern Singapore, Singapore would still be a fishing village and the people would still be coolies and maids. Sinkies better be grateful and thankful to the govt, the PAP and the political leaders for the good life they are having.
Who are having the good life? The people that must be grateful must be those that are having a good life, not the losers. Why should losers be grateful? Definitely not all Singaporeans are having a good life. The people who are having the good life are the so called foreign talents here. They are given all the opportunities to lead an exceptionally good life that their countries could not provide them. An average mid executive Pinoy could be earning more than their ministers back home. A maid could be making more than their Pinoy PMEs in Manila. And this is applicable to all the 3rd world PMEs here. Even those from the western economies are also having a party that they could not dream of at home.
These are the people that must be grateful. They did not build Singapore but coming here at the right time to enjoy the fruits of Sinkie labour. But they are dreadfully ungrateful, thinking that they built this country and we owe them a living.
The Sinkies that should be very grateful to the rest of the Sinkies that built this country, it cannot be built by a few men talking and walking around, are those that are living the Swiss standard of living, emasculated and emancipated from the squatters and public housing to live in landed properties and mansions. The people that should be grateful should be those that are paid millions in public office. Remember, it is the people that are paying for their good life. They must not take the people for granted and called them losers, daft and lazy. It is exactly the daft and losers and the lazy that are footing their multi million dollar income and the good life.
Be grateful, be very grateful. The people’s tolerance has a limit. The people are not daft just because you called them daft. If you choose to remain recalcitrant, arrogant and ungrateful, the people will take your multi million dollar income away. Your good life and well being and the big salaries you are getting come from the grace and kindness and sacrifices of the people. And the people are the Sinkies whom you have chosen to kick aside in favour of foreigners. Keep taking away the jobs and opportunities from the very people that feed you, keep biting the hands that feed you, keep being ungrateful…the day of reckoning is near.
The foreigners are also here participating in the buffet spread but would flee when the daft Sinkies wake up from their ignorant and helpless slumber. The daft Sinkies will take back the buffet for themselves. They will take away from those enjoying the multi million dollar incomes and the good life but did not contribute to it, just inheriting the good fortune and pretending that they did it or created it for the people. Just keep believing that the daft will forever be daft. Don’t be ungrateful to the people that are paying for your good life.
PS. This is what Tsai Ingwen, chairwoman of DPP, Taiwan said, 'We will start from the local level and win back Taiwan. If a govt doesn't stand on the side of the people, the people can take away its power.
