United India? United Pakistan? United Singapore?

This page is probably not suitable for a person like me, A SINGAPOREAN BY BIRTH, but am i a Singaporean Really? I feel nothing for the country of my brith. I want to help change the country of my birth. No don't get me wrong, i don't hate it, i just cannot digest some of the facts that i have to face as a minority. I am not in any way trying to take away from Singapore what she has acheived for herselves over the last decade. She is a developed nation, she is unique in her own ways, but have the people progressed?

So before i can cry for a United India or a United Pakistan, i must FIRST build a united Singapore and i have to become part of it, afterall She is the Country of My Birth. There is a malay proverb that says you cannot notice the elephant infront of you BUT you can notice the ant behind it. And that is what i have been doing, i have been noticing the ant but never have i noticed the elephant , at least not until today.

Change society? Maybe not, but bring into the conciousness of the people that a change is needed for singapore to PROGRESS. We have progressed economically but our minorities are still stuck in the abyss of the past. Yes we do not have civil riots today, but has the hatred between communities or even the competition diminished?

I may be very very wrong, but hey it's my opinion on a subject i feel strongly about, i feel imprisoned in my own country, will i be free?

Till the next time, have some coffee and think about the questions i have posed to myself!
