i love my country
it is a great nation
there, now you've heard it from me
I like to say that too..
I LOVE MY NATION.. IT IS A GREAT COUNTRY!
i'd also like to say that its own people tend to give it a harder time than most other people;
and sometimes people will never appreciate what they've got until they lose it. but that's me, i can live with the compromises, not everyone can.
how ah?
You try living in another country for a couple of years... and you'll know.
which country? and why a comparison with another ctry? Isnt this a discussion of the unpopular decisions made by our leaders that benefited the people?
Yes, Sg is a better place to live in than many other country. But is Sg a better place to live in because of the 21% increase in in electricity (SP made S$1billion last yr), increase in publin transport cost (SMRT had record profits), increase in news paper (iirc also record profit for SPH), job cuts after making over $300m in profit in a quarter?
SP f.intance, as the sole provider of electricity has totally forgone its social responsibility to ensure another $1 billion profit this yr?
our dear leaders see no need to blow own trumpet, there is a good reason not to.
Trumpets will be swamped by the choirs. :bigeyes::bsmilie:

It is not about trumpet and choirs. It is about being proud. Say it out!
Make your stand clear!
Are you shy telling your mother, gf or bf, son and daughter "I love you?"
We might not have said it verbally... but we sure have acted like it in our behavior.
Also, we may not proclaim that we are great...but we have always been "advertising" that we are the best... ain't it in the same line of thoughts?
