Ugh... raining too much again lately.
So something I've been thinking about lately has somewhat to do with the Aaron Tan thingy. More specifically, Faded Holy Soldier. Although I've actually thought about it during the GE this year, I think I've only deigned to talk about it after seeing some stuff on FHS's video. Cos if you watched his third video, he starts criticising our government, and then on the comments there're Singaporeans who also rant off about the government. And first thing I realised among certain youths like myself is that they support the opposition just to defy the apparent status quo. Just to be different. Difference has started trends, especially in fashion. Just look at Gaga and the like. So yeah... they support the opposition just because its.. well.. the opposition. Without even knowing what the other side offers. I mean, granted, no government is perfect, and neither is ours. There's many things we can complain about it. But if you think and compare to other countries, I'd say we're doing rather well cos of our government. And before anyone accuses me of being brainwashed, PREASE, I'm being completely objective here. So I think Singaporeans should stop blindly complaining about our government. Want complain, go ahead, but make sure you get your facts right, and learn to appreciate the privilege we have in being Singaporean. Want to find something to complain about? Go to the Middle East or North Korea then, where ultimate censorship prevails and you're shot or jailed for complaining.
Which moves me on to my 2nd point, that Singaporeans complain too much. Since the SMRT incident, you see people raging left right and center. Anger and frustration is justifiable, but only up to a certain point. Post a status to rage, make fun of it... etc. That's as much as it goes. You don't have to keep complaining about it like SMRT is a piece of shit and life became 'so much worse'' because of the the breakdown. Yeah, SMRT screwed up, but get off their backs while they try to get their thing together. How is anyone from SMRT able to fix anything if they have to keep responding to public complaints? 1 screwed up incident does not a company's reputation make. Just look at their track record, it speaks for itself. And what's all the stuff about a petition for SPH to step down? In the first place, she's not directly in charge of maintainence and whatnot. Secondly, it's not like the entire system was compromised. So let her oversee the repairs, apologise to Singaporean commuters, and let's all get on with our lives. It's like if in a school one day, the water supply or gas supply suddenly screws up. You're not going to petition to get the principal removed right? So appreciate the generally seamless service SMRT has been giving us for the last few years and just stop hammering them like its the end of the world.
I keep wondering if I just destroyed something important..
Good Night
