Where is the Singapore boat going?
The Singapore boat had 86 rowers and 1 captain. Times were hard and the people onboard did not have it easy. But it was a respectable boat despite the humble beginnings. However, the people onboard thought that it would be better to have a different type of rowers to ensure that the Singapore boat does not go in the wrong direction. So some of the rowers were replaced. The Singapore boat has since seen unproductive and childish opposition from the new rowers, with no contribution to the direction of the Singapore boat. The new rowers did not even see the aging issue coming but conveniently took advantage of the situation when the original rowers suggested measures to protect the aging population. The Singapore boat is fortunately still moving along fine. If more rowers were to be replaced in the coming election, in order to show that they are the right choice, the new rowers will continue to bicker over the slightest thing, criticizing everything that can be criticized and remain non-constructive towards the direction of the Singapore boat. With less rowers, the remaining rowers will now have to bear heavier responsibilities each and row even harder than before to row the Singapore boat towards shore. The Singapore boat will move slower and may even end up moving laterally to nowhere. Is this the kind of Singapore boat you want for your children?
新加坡舟往哪里行?
新加坡舟本有86位划手和一位队长。动荡时代,人民生活艰苦。地位虽小,新加坡舟却是一条受周 围地区认同、 尊敬的舟。但不久,舟内的少数人民觉得应该把一些划手对换下来,以防新加坡舟往错的方向行驶。 其中几位划手 被对换了。之后,这几位新划手就常常在新加坡舟内搞出无谓、幼稚的反抗,导致不必要的资源浪费 。这些新的划 手并没预知人口老化的问题,却顺势批评政府处理人口老化的方式。还好,新加坡舟依然顺顺的行着 。但是,如果 有更多的划手在下周的大选中被对换了,这些新的划手会为了证明他们是为人民服务的,会继续在鸡 蛋里头挑骨头 ,为了发出声音就对所有的事项作出批评,依然没对新加坡舟的方向做出有建设性的贡献。相反的, 剩余的划手这 时候得承担更重的责任,并使出更多的力量好让新加坡舟朝正方向行。少了能为新加坡舟付出努力的 划手,新加坡 舟会慢下来,甚至像螃蟹一样横行。这是你要传载你的下一代的新加坡舟吗?
