Happy 44th National Day Singapore!
9 August, not forgetting - its Singapore's Birthday!
its a chance to remind Singaporeans to be grateful of wad we have.
usually, ppl wont appreciate wad they currently have till they lost it.
same thing goes to Singaporeans when talking about Singapore.
i remember few weeks ago, i have read an newspaper article about appreciating Singapore.
its written by some foreigner who stays in S'pore
he is 'comparing' Spore government against the governments in other countries.
Talking about how Spore govt take care of its people, protect and always plan things in advance -carefully.
many relate Spore Govt as 'kai su', but little eventually notice the different from being 'kai su' and 'not being prepared'.
I would say dat our govt always plan things in advance, do thoughtful planning and made wise decision ahead.

How many country would do savings for its people for their retrenchment?
Spore has our CPF Scheme to take care of our needs after our retirement.
even going to the extra mile of giving us interest, maintaining and monitoring the CPF account for us.
Another issue brought up by the writer, the cleanliness in Spore.
In 1 of the country, they paid higher maintenance fee than us yet only got their rubbish cleared once every 1-2 months.
They eventually got to store their rubbish at home while waiting to be cleared-once every month or 2.
Spore got our rubbish cleared everyday. and i meant EVERYDAY!
every morning or so, we see workers cleaning up, sweeping our void decks, road sides, drains, den cleaning our rubbish to prevent smell and keep hygiene level at tip top standard..
And most importantly, we paid lower taxes than the country i referred to earlier. who only got their rubbish cleared once every 1-2months.

The younger generation didnt get to experience living in an environment of lower hygiene standard, maybe we should try it 1 day, so as to appreciate wad we have in modern Spore.
Having low Crime Rate, nice homes - referring to the Town Council.
The maintenance n development of every town.
Lift upgrading programme. Toilets at void decks. Comfort Resident Corner.
Nice Parks. Nice shopping centres for recreation. Covered walkways around the neighbourhood.
And we play little for those facilities.

So, S'porans, dun complain. Be thankful for wad we have in modern Spore.

Once again, Happy 44th Birthday Singapore :D
