How far have we come as a nation

[reminisce]

It's interesting how far we've come as a nation, something to think about on National Day.


last time mata will bother to catch criminals. now maybe the definition of criminal is being revised. maybe now you can whack someone until their face bleeds and take their D2X and police won't bother to come catch you. better be careful when you go outside...

aiyo how can like that say. they no idle one leh! if u put up mysterious white elephant placards outside closed MRT station, or gather in big groups wearing the same colour tshirts and happily chatting away, or make certain documentaries, they will come and bust ur ass before u can say, "mata last time wear shorts one".

so they are misunderstood lah. it's not that they idle, but it's that their job scope and "mission and vision" has changed...

Well, how far have we come as a nation? If u're referring to this topic at hand:

41yrs of economic growth
There is no doubt abt this. Take 1965 vs 2006. See the physical diff and the way of ppl's life. Nuff said.

41yrs of political growth
No doubt there is improvement but seriously speaking, the underlying layer of unseen control's still there and whilst ppl are speaking up, at the slightest and potential sign 'out of control' it gets muffed up immediately. Shot thru the head and buried 20ft underground.

41yrs of social mindset
The trend's moving on with better education. However, hypocritical and stereotype mindsets still exists even within the young and it would take a dramatic socio-political-cultural-education revolution to break this sort of thinking.

So, some cops got lazy. What's this got to do with nation building? Yet another inappropriate SG/Govt bashing thread.

this implies those cops were errant, and not representative of the force in general. as of today, the ST still has not published any reply from their PR. so what does this imply?

but good thing is we see more active police work by citizens, like that guy who spotted the stolen car at SGH.

so actually we have progressed much as a nation, from indifferent citizens who leave everything to authorities, to being more active participants to help one another, when help from authorities is wanting.

good PR is always important.

aiya, that victim is weak lah, so easy get fracture from simple assault, make us misunderstand our hardworking and knowledgeable mata. our mata has become more diligent, know the Penal Code better and know what's their job. we members of the public should drink more milk, and grow stronger bones.

what if the assailants were iron-pumping each weighing no less than 100kg?
if u hit the right spot with the right amount of strength, u can fracture someone easily without using alot of strength.

think they need to send the victim back to army to toughen up.:thumbsup:
