First and foremost, I apologize sincerely to all readers for going MIA for the past 2 months. I've been really tied up with work and everything else in life. Hardly had enough time to sleep, let alone put up blog entries.
To those who are reading this entry, THANK YOU for remembering me despite my disappearance for the past 2 months!
Well this is not a new topic, but a more detailed extension of why I hate Singapore. As many of you know, I am not exactly a Singaporean. With a Malaysian father and Taiwanese mother, and spending much of my time in the States and the rest in Taiwan, I can hardly call myself a Singaporean. The government here never gave me any benefits of a citizen due to having both parents being foreigners, but it doesn't bother me. What it bothers me is, how they treat their own citizens...Singapore isn't really a country, it's a corporate company where the government is the management, and the citizens are the slaves, erm... I mean employees... With around US$100 billion in the reserve forced out of its people this corporate which pays their minister more than what George Bush gets. The smart excuse for paying their ministers higher than any country does is that this will discourage corruption. Well guess what, they're right. Taking sky high salary LEGALLY while most average citizens are struggling to make ends meet ain't corruption!
The PAP or People's "Authoritarian" Party dominates the nation and practically brain-washed every employee into faithful servants. Minority who resisted the brain-washing are condemned for life (like myself) and often shunned by the majority.
Brain-washing in process. Kids with freewill and individuality is as rare as a T.rex.Singapore have little if not none of any citizen welfare benefits. During their younger days, 20% of their monthly pay are seized and put in their CPF accounts. This money, cannot be used or withdrew till an age of 65. Who the hell can be confident to live to 65 anyway? Let alone in a stressful corporate like Singapore? This measure of "forced-saving" reliefs the government of duties to feed or take care of the old. Smart move! And the reason Singaporeans can only withdraw their money when they reach 65? Smartass IR investment of the government.
The government also came up with many rules and measures in the name of solving national problems, but are in fact more like money making gimmicks. They made "ERP"s or Everyday Rob People in the name of controlling traffic flow and hence reduce traffic jams. But they built those pay points on almost every major roads. We still see bad jams, and of course, higher cost of living. To summarize, we need to pay every time we drive. So what the hell did we pay road tax for? And what about the COE? Damn you blood suckers.The government claim to discourage people from smoking. They made prices for tobacco products sky high. And probably one of the few countries that does not allow even 1 stick of untaxed cigarette upon arrival. I mean how much stupider can the government get?!?! Did they actually see the reduction in the number of smokers? Hardly any visible! We smokers are hooked! It's a fucking habit and it's probably gonna stay for life! So knowing our weakness, the government exploits it by consistently increasing tobacco prices taking for granted that we will have to smoke anyway.
In Singapore one can also get fined for the smallest thing. Just take a look:-
Doesn't sound really heaven right? Strangely, if you ever mention to a Singaporean how lousy his country is, the brain-washed robots will call for his horde of reinforcements and gangbang you for insulting his country... Some strange patriotism and devotion to an unreasonable corporate state.
