today's straits times: EUROPEAN SUICIDE RATES PUSHED HIGHER BY FINANCIAL CRISIS
well. this topic itself says alot.
the impact one financial crisis is able to make. in europe. a superpower continent once thought to be by the whole world. if u realise all the branded goods (gucci chanel prada lv bvlgari etc etc are all originated fromt there)
so in a first world country such things can happen, den wad abt singapore? wad abt us? what will happen in we citizens, NOT THE GOVERNMENT, take the full hit of economic recession?
as i feel, singaporeans are relying too much on the support of government for survival. look at the SG budget. look at the housing prices, the elections, the services provided and so on. and when the government fail to do one thing out of the 10001 things achieved, we just focus on that one issue that the govt did not address and bombard criticism on them. is that being fair to them? i mean.
watched a hk drama serial. 家好月圆. there comes this particular sentence,, or question, that we can ponder upon:
you have done 10000 good things, but at last u did one bad thing, are u considered bad?
you have done 10000 bad things, but at last u did one good thing, are u considered good?
up to u to decipher the essence of this qn. shall nt explain further.
but overall, yes government are trying to make singapore a better place to live in. but ultimately if we want ourselves to be able to lead a lifestyle we want IT'S ALL UP TO US. why are the rich able to make more money during recession? cos they never depended on anything else. only themselves.
are we going to depend on government for survival? if we are at that stage, its time to do sth about our current situation. or else if (touch wood) we were to receive the full impact of the next recession, only god knows what will happen of us.
