Mutiny Or Harmony? (August 14, 2010)
A friend of mine spoke of how the ritual and wake of the unfortunate demise of his grandmother were handled by foreign talents. His question was that lack of locals willing to take up these admirable jobs of taking care of the departed.
These are the effects of so-called society recognition and cultural education that has been propagated by present-day Singapore. Even much of our younger generation cringes in reply over this topic.
With the influx of foreign talents, Singaporeans need not have to do the work themselves. It's much more feasible to pay someone else cheaper salaries and free yourself up for other commitments.
This is an unhealthy sight that our country created when we diverted our responsibilities to surge forward globally.
We became professionals who are in command of a vast number of workers whose allegiance lies not with us, but to their own homelands. Just as how human created the computer decades ago and are now slaves to it, let's see where present Singapore would bring us.
Mutiny or Harmony?
The sad truth is nobody bothers about it.
