Back to sg. my new found hobby, taking bus 30 in the evening, seated at the front seat on the upper deck.The roads are so smooth. No potholes, no rubbish, no debris and soil and no stench. cement pavements, markings are mostly maintained, few faded. The kerbs, some lost a few slabs, the black and white fainting. Who isnt doing their job? Thats where taxes go to. And it is good that we do our jobs well. No corruption thus the rules are enforced and abided by.
The buildings arent destroyed, no rqm to rebuild due to any natural and man made disasters for the past 68 yrs. It has flourished. ahead, facing other issues but we pushed on. The passion, energy and perseverance to do all our respective jobs well are so important in constructing and sustaining this society.
The schs shld bring the youths to cambodia, to witness how difficult it is to rebuild the nation. The post war condition in museums here arent loud enuff. The filthy and poor conditions are not portrayed. Too clean and well managed here. Over there, they cant even ensure everyone wears helmets and to avoid more than one pillion riders. The policemen are bribed so the pple are left alone.
The media is smarter now. Sieving out those few youths who step out to make the difference by uniting whatever resources they can find thru social media. As a form of encouragement to ignite the spark within. To be less individualistic and the willingness to give back, for the larger community. To rally the pple to contribute. Definitely better than putting down the younger gen isnt it, which conveniently use it as excuses, admitting and resigning to the fate of what the media used to report, the strawberry bunch.
The older generation especially those pioneers who slogged for where we are now. Indeed the younger gen shld be appreciative. However, the older ones cant keep harping on it and blame the young ones to take things for granted. That was the time when there were such needs thus those were their tasks and missions. Too bad, as maslow's hierarchy of needs, the needs have changed. Good that the whole society moved on up the pyramid, a happy problem. Better than become stagnant. Jus challenges the older ones got to deal with.
Actually once the whole grp of baby boomers step into their graves, will the size of population will shrink drastically and average age dip? The shift. We are prolly in the midst of it alr. How much has the skills been passed down and to be executed? If not much has been imparted, think we will enter into revolution.
The sun sets, ths sky darkens, the street lights came on. all street lights were switched off after certain timing. Actually ok to off wat. The cars' headlights are enuff. Or maybe switch off alternate lamps? And off all those in the remote areas, maybe a good test to see if the policeman has increased workload. We are wasting too much resources alr.
