Rally!

Hmm.

I'm sitting here while the PM is going on with his rally on the telly, and I'm just thinking to myself... why do I feel like this whole national day rally speech is a fiasco to bring our hopes up and hopefully touch on subject which we wish to hear from the man whom the government has put in place to run the country?

Yeah, sure enough, he has the ability (not unlike the previous PM) to inject some humour into his speech to break the monotony (tio boh?) but sometimes when we look back on last year's speech 'and from now on... we will implement the five-day week... for civil servants!!!' I mean, give me a break, when will actual singaporeans be touched by real policies which make a real difference in our lives.

It's all the intangible things which are adjusted.. how about the damn bus and train fares??? how about the damn COE and bloody ERp which has been strangling us (if you don't want jams on the CTE, or want less motorists to use it, why the heck do you want to block up normal roads instead?) I mean, every time you hear stuff like 'ok, now your medicare has been extended to people of the age of 85!!!'

LOL... when will the people really get their dues? I know that the government cannot cater to every single person on the street, but when will the time come when we finally come into the spotlight of notice instead of standing there, quietly slogging away while the privatisation of transport companies slowly tightens the noose around the general public?

I just hope and pray that one day, there will be a reckoning... and when that day comes, I'll be there to make sure we get what we deserve and we get our dues.
