what is left for us?

just saw the news... The Indonesian court has turned dun the appeal of Temasek Holding's monopoly on the 2 biggest telecom companies there. This verdict will definitely be a big lost-making endeavor Temasek which inevitably will affect us Singaporeans somehow. Remember the Thaksin's telecom sales to Temasek saga???

Oh then "someone" is in Libya to forge better business relationships. The news said that Libya provides free health care and other free benefits for her citizens. Best one, when a couple marry, the country will give the couple free housing equivalent to our 3-room flats.. POWER!!! why dun we have such things? I am sure it will help increase the birthrates (which the government is so strongly trying to encourage) by dangling a big carrot for marriage. More married couples fucking, more chances of babies instead of wasting sperm by spraying into condoms.

i am sure our gross national earnings cant be much lower than libya that we cannot afford such perks to the citizens rite? Everything we need have to be paid, even health care(although we have medishield), dun come cheap and still comes from our own pockets. What did we benefit from the country in turn for our role in nation building? A safe and corrupt-free place to live in? Is that enough? What can the government do to keep her citizens happy and satisfied without quitting the country at the slightest chance available? Do we have to just keep on working for our 3 meals and a good life for ourselves and families just so that we can stay in this place and not reap the full rewards of what we had sowed for the country? hmmmmm....
