Truth? Nah.

Listen. 

Listen to the voices of the people. 

Is that what we want? Do you think it's going to benefit us? Everything you said two days ago, does it calm us down, does it make us feel more reassured? 

Frankly speaking, no. 20 years ago, they work their ass off in whatever means to protect this little red dot. We wouldn't have this without their hard work, we wouldn't have this privilege to be one of the top richest country and surely we wouldn't be here without them. Yes, 20 years have passed but are we; the real citizens happy and proud? Proud to be one of the world's top richest country and proud to be a Singaporean? Are we? Am I? I wasn't born 20 years ago, but as a citizen, a human being, i have the rights to say whatever that comes to my mind, no? 

I'm worried. Worried that once i've graduated, do i have a chance to get into a local university? Or will the chances go over to those imported foreign talents who are being treated like royalties here? Will the school fees for universities gets higher and higher every year? Will my parents be able to afford to pay? Why? 

Why is it so expensive for us while it's free for some FTs? They get free studying, free place to live and what do they do to contribute to the country exactly? Many left, either back to their 'real country' or to other western universities that are more renown. Those who stayed and become a citizen, i applaud you guys. It's my home yet it doesn't feel like it. Why? 

Yes, there are a few cases whereby we noticed the bad things bout' foreigners and forget about the good things that they've done. But if YOU guys were to be like ordinary citizens that took buses or mrts to work/school or an employee in the office or a student studying in schools, you would prolly see more of the bad things rather than the good ones. Why is it that we, the real citizens needs to accommodate to their needs/wants? If they wanna live here, shouldn't they respect and change their lifestyles to accommodate to us?  Sigh. 

I'm just utterly disappointed and upset. But what can i do? I'm just a student with no political power and well too bad, i'm not a foreign talent huh. Well.. at least i know many of the locals are in line with me. I guess.. time will tell? :)
