I am absolutely glad that Prime Minister Wong has already made it very clear in the international stage that Sg is an expensive country to live in and there is no such thing as minimum wages, hereby sending signals to people that if you want to live or work in Sg, be prepared to pay “first class insurance premium” for what Sg can offer.

However, we were always told to be upfront with the trade offs (transparent), be honest, and that there isn’t always solution to all problems so why can’t PM Wong’s team be upfront at the international stage that Sg is a cannibalistic country? They can admit that there is an increase in mental health issues, why can’t PM Wong just be clear to the world about social cannibalism? We are not the only country that is experiencing social cannibalism, any other political parties (PAP, WP and any opposition parties here) are also having cannibalism because of individuals one advantage.

We can almost be more than 100% sure that nothing and absolutely no reforms or efforts can bring back the “Kampung Spiritedness” we had back then.

No matter where we are now, whether it’s in school, serving NS or at work, such “self pawning” is already a norm for years, especially so after Covid. More and more people have already feel that Sg is also a hypocritical society.

So my message to PM Wong, please be upfront and apologise that no one can bring back the unity, the “kampung spirit” that Sg used to have back then. All of us, including politicians just have to accept this, all we can do now is to soothe things and don’t try bringing back the “Kampung Spirit” that we used to have.

Just need to be upfront that Sg is just a corporate country.

Thank you.
