Singapore is well known as an advance city-state, yet one worrying factor that might deteriorate into a brick, denying it it's path for further development would be the dwi-policy used to govern Singaporeans and non Singaporeans.
Singapore rely heavily on foreigners, many intellectual workers working in S'pore were not even born in the city-state. The government of S'pore uses various policy to attract foreigners to work in S'pore, just imagine if these people just vanishing into thin air and what would happen to S'pore's economy -- that's a scary scenario.
From what I heard, foreign students in S'pore faces much more stress and competition than local students, because there's a quota system in the tertiary education. To be fair, they do give priority to Malaysian students, but how about students from other countries? I am not saying the dwi-policy should be banished, but it should be revised according to the current situation.
The other issue I would love to bring up, is the plea for the President to forgive Yong Vui Kong, a young Malaysian facing the death penalty due to drug trafficking when he was still a minor. Standing by law is correct but not always, we are humans not robots, so there is should always be an exception, espicially when Yong has already regretted on his wrongdoing.
You see, the biggest problem with S'pore is that they stress to much on "Law-by Law". Come'on, who likes to live in a country which governs its citizens like they are high school students who has diciplinary problems?
I would like to urge more Malaysians to sign the petition to pressure Mr. Nathan, let him realize S'pore should be governed by love, not the S'poren law!!
