let's keep it this way

Some days ago I was behind a rubbish truck. I followed it for about 30 metres before there was space for overtaking. There were two foreign workers doing the hard work.


This is one of the foreign workers doing upgrading work in my neighbourhood.


As you know, there are also many other jobs which Singaporeans do not want to do.

No, I'm not going to say that Singaporeans are lazy, choosy and cannot endure hardship. Looking at it from another angle, isn't it fortunate that we don't need to do the tough jobs like the two I mentioned above. Shouldn't we try to keep it this way so that our children, grand-children, ... need not do these jobs too.

That means we need growth, a strong economy and a stable and well-managed Country that can attract talents and investment.
