What I hate about the current Singapore

In short, I stand with those on the be contended lines. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Having a decent roof over one's head, reasonable quality of food for family, fair n equitable rule of law for all is no small stuff.

d first two parts used to be a struggle only for d bottom 10% - 20%, but in recent has started to affect d large middle-income group who can articulate their concerns, hence d greater visibility n expression of discontent.

Hate is a rather strong word.

Dislike is better.
I do not hate Singapore, but hope prices of basic necessity like food can come down. Going to supermarket now can easily hit more than $60 for same amt of stuff before. If we are eating home-cooked meals, it’s advisable to eat better food for health sake, no need organic though.

Rising food prices is a worldwide phenomenon. The urban poor are the hardest hit.

just to highlight keywords..

\"the current Singapore\"

I believed.. those good things that you mentioned were around since the pre-2000 Singapore.... the leader then did a good job..

During those days.. Singaporeans were generally proud of Singapore..

but now.................... :sad:

Hahaha I see! I always thought u r telling yourself to \"beContented\"!


I cant say I am happy with everything. But certainly I make do with the situation. I try to Improve things or stretch myself to cope. I don't know - what else can I ask for, given that I am so average but I have
- a happy, healthy and lovely child who thinks I am omnipotent and loves me unconditionally
- a hubby who is doing well in his job and provides financial stability so that I can hold a less stressful job (but with lesser pay) and do more for the family and be an active part of my child's growing up (it's a privilege to be a child's growing up in my opinion. Not everyone has this opportunity, not everyone values this opportunity).

are you an Apple made mami ?

No.... What's that supposed to mean? :scratchhead:

In other countries you can get mobbed (robbed) in daylight because you are the miniority race.

Yup, yup, that's how I feel. It's not garden of Eden but it's safe enough. I can drive home with just a little child back to my neighborhood which is poorly lit and very quiet at night. My hubby travels a lot for work, so safety in the neighbourhood is very impt for me.

My child sure got a place to study in public school. Things are getting more expensive but at least we don't need to eat only dried tofu (Tempe?) all the time. And I am always thankful being a Chinese in sg , rather than our neighbouring countries. But that's me the mediocre talking la.
