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

No matter how sandwiched we are, we are still safe even staying in public housing - HBD...

\"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: -

No.... What's that supposed to mean? :scratchhead:
are you an Apple made mami ?Imami:
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). -
