In case any goon doesn't know I'm back in SG yet, this serves as a notice ;)
Anyways, after coming back, I realized that Singapore on the whole has a risk-adverse environment and low tolerance for making mistakes. The price of efficiency and having the whole machinery oiled so well is that the people and government lose their heart, their feelings, their everything - all to become a unit of production in the grand scheme of things. We're No.1 in so many things - no.1 most crowded MRT trains, no. 1 in longest waiting time between MRT trains, no.1 at MRT jumping suicides, no. 1 at raising fees and fares, no. 1 in number of ERP gantries put up (OK, this is just tongue-in-cheek, but you know what I am driving at.)
I feel like a robot/machine/economic unit of production in this humongous production plant called Singapore. Not appreciated, not recognized, not anything.The government would do good to recognize this fact, and pull back talented Singaporeans (who are most likely to take off in search of greener pastures), otherwise Singapore will soon be filled with 6 million lifeless, heartless, visionless "Singaporean bodies".
One people, one nation, one Singapore - what happened to that? LKY's legacy is going to crash and burn soon, if the heart of the country is not reinstalled properly. I myself am thinking of reasons why not to quit Singapore. Help me, someone?
