We, the opposition of Singapore,
pledge ourselves as one united party,
regardless of race, language or religion,
to build a democratic society
based on justice and equality
so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and
progress for our people.

Cheers!

Sorry to say I voted with my feet in 1984 after graduation because even then it was a struggle to get a HDB flat (we had a family of 10 including parents living in a three bed room HDB flat. I was offered a job in UK and so I took it and had never looked back since. My children had graduated from Oxford and I looked forward to retirement, no CPF problem here but a healthy final salary pension. I am sorry to read that many bloggers here had suffered because of poor government policies and also the uncaring ruling party. Singaporean must seriously think about how they exercise their vote come the next election. That is the voice they have at the moment. God Bless.

I find it kinda sad that there are 7 negative articles written by TOC to commemorate our National Day.

Please put your money where your mouth is.
Singapore belongs to Singaporeans and not to the gahmen that you do not love.

We celebrate for Singapore’s National Day as Singaporeans.

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

A New Pledge for the Nation — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:23:48 +0000

We, the citizen of the Sinking and Poor, pledging ourselves to become one divided nation, neglecting freedom, rights and constitution, so as to build an oppressive society, based on elitism and meritocracy, so as to achieve poverty, suffering and death of our nation.

I disagree with the notion of meritocracy. After all, that is the disparity here, presented in this article. The poor man may not be able to afford a good education, and the rich one might have too many options to distract him from education. In a family, often one sibling is brighter than the rest. How can we as humans apply the concept of national selection by calling it meritocracy. So some people may not be as intelligent – that does not mean they should suffer. Intelligent people too, on the other hand, often suffer from intense psychological and psychosocial problems. The fact of the matter is that everyone is different, and in Singapore’s context, anyone having it easier than the rest doesn’t mean he or she leaves the rest behind.

Meritocracy has to go.

donkeys years ago
i told every of my kaki
when the pledge ceremony is up
i would sit down
and turned my BACK
towards the flag or the holy crest….
i pity the dearly departed former senoir minister
who wrote this wonderful pledge
now if only he can rise from the dead
and knocked some nails on leekuanyew head
that would be nice…

I don’t feel a thing when our national flag was raised and the anthem sang when i knew non of the sportsmen are true blue singaporean, born and breed and rooted here. (Is the ping pong girl still in Singapore or back home – HOME IS BEIJING)

What i see coming? Soon I will be the minority in this country.

FT is a big part of singapore culture now. That’s the way how things are run now from corporate to retail to restaurants to hawkers. The way this country has evolved, i don’t mind even if the president or ministers are FTs. And how about offering Michael Phelps citizenship and he can earn us more olympic medals?

Don’t be surprise if we have Jet Li and Gong Li appearing in coming NDP reciting the Singapore pledge on national tv!

What pledge.
Regardless of race language and religion.
Base on Justice and equality.
Where are the equality. White horse must be pray pray in the Army
yet I get hammer upside down.
We have 11billions for defense budget but look at how much I have now.
Nothing much. I cannot even affort a place to stay yet worry about
being retrench day and night.
I can assure you the gayman. I m already pissed by your reckless atitute
in making we the Singaporean look stupid.
Especially to you our beloved GCT. You are the one that brag
about foreign talent. Hopefully one day you will end up like our Mr Seng.
No crazy man will be so pissed to burn someone unless situation is unbearable.
No one is so unlucky to be hit by someone and later get burnt by another.
Is time to reflect. That include our Big Toad DPM.
