We are highly productive, but they say we do not have spurs on our hide.
We are really hardworking and our wages have been stagnant for years, but it's not good enough for them and they tell us we should work better, work faster and be cheaper.
Years ago when we could afford to have more kids and want to have more kids, they whip us into stopping at two. Now we don't want to have more kids and could not afford to have more kids, they want us to breed like rabbits.
Whenever something good happens, it's all their credit. Whenever something bad happens, it's always because we are useless and stupid and complacent.
We are not allowed to be concerned; any actions of concern gets you labelled as a 'whiner' and a very 'ungrateful' person.
We are told that our wages cannot be improved because that will harm the economy, but they have no squirms in giving themselves millions of dollars in bonuses and increments because that doesn't harm the economy.
We are told that they are paid so well because they are world-class talents, but these world-class talents are unable to tell if this island is landlocked or waterlocked.
We were made to believe for years that we are a nation, only to be told repeatedly in recent years that we are not a nation, and then rewinding to say we are a nation. So are we, or are we not?
We are told that we have poor genes, because our forefathers were peasants. The fact that our forefathers were the ones who made this into the place it is was neglected... because the credit belongs to them, the 'royalties'.
They claim to be operating at Asian values, but those supposedly 'Asian' values are really their own personal values for their own personal gain. Wish people would stop buying into it.
This can be quite a miserable place... only because they are making it into a miserable place.
From now on I shall stop calling this place Singapore, because I realise they were at least right in the point that this isn't a country; it's a corporate. I shall now address it as Singapore Inc.
If I disappear from SPCNET for too long, maybe it's because I've been invited by the ISD for kopi for writing all these; the law allows them to detain people for extended period without trial.
PS. Ceddy you may add more to it if you like.
