It meant something to be a Singaporean and we guarded it like crazy. Now we still have MM Lee and Goh Chok Tong in Parliament, and we are giving away PRs and citizenship like a dime a dozen - all because our Minister's salary is pegged to our GDP. And our reasons is because Singaporeans refuse to do the work - but we all know the employers are doing the cheap and easy thing like bringing in students on short work stints - how can Singaporeans compete with them??
