54


Happy 54th birthday to my beloved country. Changes are in the air but it seems that people here are still haunted by 'what if's... This includes the more educated generation of people who can read between the lines. Unlike the pre-millenium situation, the opposition parties today are smarter, bolder & more daring. Also unlike the pre-millenium situation, the current authority is banking on a spectral buy-in to convert the youngsters. These people do not live through the pre-independent hardship so if you keep drumming into their heads a sense of secured livelihood, they would most probably not listen. In any case, the reek of bullshit is becoming more apparent. I'm sharing my favourite National Day song & it's not something recent compounded by the fact that this year's song is a mishmash of older stuff, recycled, to put it bluntly. I hold the messages in this song very dearly.
