The last two years have been indeed very eventful for Singapore. Over these past two years we have seen these major events happening here in Singapore. Things we thought would never happen or would never happen again.
1. PAP loosing its first ever GRC and more grounds to the opposition in the last General Elections.
2. The PAP loosing two by-elections with one of them being a PAP held ward.
3. The closely and hotly fought Presidential elections.
4. The strike by SMRT Chinese bus drivers.
5. The hacking incidences by the Messiah group.
6. The Little India riot.
While the authorities and some of us may not think that these events are linked or related, I feel that we should not simply dismiss such incidences. A quick glance at these incidences show that there are segments of the local population cheering and taking delight in these incidences. Right or wrong is not the point here. The alarming thing to note is that there is a growing tide of discontentment in the population both local and foreign in Singapore. I fear that if Singapore does not re-examine itself closely and make the necessary changes, things might get worst and uglier. Not everything can be solved by harsh laws or brute might.
