The urge came and so my itchy fingers starts to move....
Yup...SG just had its general elections....a big win for PAP! Yippee! (Guess you can tell which party got my vote?)
Well...what I am putting up here is solely my personal views & actually nothing against nobody ok?
Ok...basically all the other parties in SG have something against PAP (the ruling party)....not happy with this la....not happy with that la....but tell me please...can anyone be able to make everyone happy?
Education
People complain at the education in SG. If it's one of the best education system in the world....pls tell me what exactly is wrong with it? It's the people's perceptions...the way they see & perceive things. Kiasuism makes SGeans strive for the best but at the same time they are feeling the pressure....and when that happens...they blame the system.
'Normal Stream'....'Express Stream'...the terms used are apt. But that's not how people perceive them. To the people generally...'express' is the normality & 'normal' is for slower learners....and so there are more express classes than normal classes.
Because of kiasuism....parents send their kids to sch as early as 2 years old? Poor kids....
And with that...the children are very much prepared once they reach P1...and thus introducing ABC no longer is suitable for P1...thus increasing the gap amongst the children. So...is the system to be blamed or the parents?
And look at the ITE colleges....they are comparable to polytechnics if not grander....the govt don't diversify education....it's the people & their perceptions.
Oh yes...education is expensive? Well, that depends on your choice of sch...isn't it?
Yes...I am one of them who attended PAP kindergartens then...in fact, all my siblings too. Our dad was the sole breadwinner....but none of us was shortchanged especially when it's abt education. Thanks to PAP kindergartens...which was the only affordable one my parents could send us to....and who ever said the kindergartens are not as good as the private ones?
I agree that all schools are good schools....the only difference is that there are the elite schools. And elite schools does not mean the schools are better. Well, yes....the kids from elite schools are performing better generally....you know why? Because they come from elite families or rather rich families? They have all the tuition & enrichment classes in the world! And so...the middle-income wants the same for their kids....coz express is normal...and then they start complaining...education is expensive....tell me what?
Oh...and they are those...who worked themselves real hard....to get places in elite schools for their children....they are willing to move from HDB to condos....and then what? Complain that education is expensive....that living is expensive? What???
Housing.
Please...please...please....tell me if you see anyone living at void decks or any open areas....tell me. Practically...everyone has a home in SG even if it's rented. Now...life is never fair....never. We can never fight for equal rights for everyone coz then there will be no value to effort & hard work. If you are doing well...you can afford private housing...if not HDB flats are affordable....thanks to CPF. What? Not affordable? Tell me first what type of house you are living in....then tell me what is not affordable. And to think...complains come from the middle-income earners.
Yes, housing is expensive here....but there are other countries where the housing is much more expensive. Look at the space....look at the demand....economics you see.
Hijab.
I am a Muslimah wearing hijab myself...and thus far, have never felt prejudiced against by anyone here. SG is a multi racial country...alhamdulillah...every race or religion is able to practise their respective faith freely here in SG.
The current topic seem to be the hijab...in uniform groups. First...there are countless jobs out there that allows hijab....why be so adamant abt being in uniform groups? Next....in Islam...women are not encouraged to be like men much more to take over the jobs of men....so why be so adamant to be in uniform groups?
And please...do not put all blame on that one man in charge of Muslim welfare....tell me how is he to fight for hijab when there are Muslimahs not wearing hijabs? Put yourself in his shoes.
There is this group of Muslims who are faithfully following the dos and donts while there exist another group who are just doing the opposite....if Muslims wanna blame anyone....blame our own community.
Oh...and can you please don't be so adamant abt working in uniform groups dear ladies.....before the Govt changes mind and start calling women in for NS! Spare me! Oh....I might be over the age already? Then...spare my daughter please!
I'd say we have one of the best & cleanest Govt in the world. A govt that moves us from having nothing to having almost everything...even surpluses. While we are the people...we need to also see from the govt's view. How a child is not able to accept rules set by the parents....how students are rebelling against teachers....isn't it similar to people complaining against its govt?
These are just some of the topics brought up during the GE. Viability dear Singaporeans....viability.
Much as a govt shld think of its people....it also have to think of the country....it must be able to work both ways. If parents give in to their children, it's labelled as pampering....how abt a govt giving in to its people's demands....what is that supposed to be labelled as?
If the country prospers....if the people are doing well....tell me what is wrong with the govt then?
