10 March, 2006 Interesting day I had today

Now I have found a 2nd job in Jurong part-time for another 6months or so.After the interview,I went to Eunos to meet with Hong An as he has lost his driving license and he had to make another new license.I waited for some time than I sms him to meet me back in our place.

I read the new paper today n was amazed to read an article "MP on a race ties:Let's not kid ourselves." Well in my own opinion I do agree with what the article wrote about the employment in Singapore. Yeah when you look at the classifieds,it always states that you have to be bilingual in English n Mandarin. Yeah I myself do understand Mandarin n do speak if the need arises.But you have to consider those who cant. I mean this is a country where multi racial co-exists and it is part of our community to survive in this country.But if majority of the jobs that are stated in the classifieds require you to speak Mandarin,I feel that this is unjust or in a point to say that you want everyone in this country to be like they are from China.Spare a thought of those who have families to support n need to earn a living.If this country is gonna be like a Chinese Republic,Singapore in turn will lose out to alot of good and hardworking folks that who could afford it,migrate to some other country where there is not an issue.

Take for example our neighbour who is much bigger in size n who is building up its country faster than before.In every expects other bigger MNCs are running to countries like this to setup their production plants or even other things.History also has it that PSA never had a retrenchment or downsize in its staffs but now look at what has happened to PSA.The people in this country need to survive and need to think about their own countrymen.Our country never had a war but if there is ever a war like most countries,who are the only people that will stand up and fight,ITS OUR COUNTRYMEN. Yes the government has done alot of good things in the past,the present n the future but the government must also setup a policy of a workforce in each company to have a fair ratio of equalibrium.Without these factors how will the people who do not understand nor speak the language adapt to the changes. We were once a country where racism does not exist in the country,workplace nor in the neighbourhoods but look now.

Well my only hope for the future is that the children of today will make Singapore a better place to live in and not like what it is becoming....this is more like a city that works more to survive.Everyone around us from all walks of life,race,religion n creed is finding it harder to survive with the new changes around us.Singapore can be better in many ways....where is the freedom of speech, justice n equality......where is the language or religion to be a better part of society......we say the anthem with pride in the past but there are so many who now wonders whether the anthem is what it really says it means........sometimes you can see when the national anthem is played,not many people sing with their hearts out.

The changes of this society in my opinion has taken a toll in the nation where we work, eat, play n sleep.To survive everyone has to find other means as there are not many jobs available to the less educated nor to those who cant understand the Mandarin language. Yeah this is not like America nor is it like Britain. If I had one wish I wish that those who are looking for a job, the employers of the companies will give the party a chance to learn n communicate.Who knows he/she might be a better worker even though he/she does not have the language capability.

I here on my own thoughts n opinions do not stand as a politician but as a patriot who believes in the right way things should be done.The Americans have a saying once by a famous person,he said "Ask not what ya country could do for you but what you could do for ya country...in my words I would say "Ask what ya country can do for you but ask not what ya people has to suffer to understand."Ok I think I will end here for now and hope that in the next coming months there will be some changes in the government and that the government will implement new policies so that companies here in Singapore will abide to. I have alot of faith in this government who has worked its way up from the 1950s to the present day.So my only hope is that the government realise what is happening in the classifieds, as it is not as easy as seems.Action would speak more louder than words should it be address in the proper manner.I rest my case now.GOD BLESS N GOD SPEED TO THE COUNTYMEN IN SINGAPORE.
