Happy Planet Index - Singaporeans are unhappy. Big F'ng- Deal.

It is official. Singaporeans are the most unhappy people in Asia. British think-tank New Economic Foundation (NEF) ranked Singapore near the bottom quarter of a new unofficial Happy Planet Index. In fact, we are ranked 131st out of 178 countries and the most unhappy nation in Asia. The HPI combined three indicators: life expectancy, life satisfaction, and the country’s “ecological footprint”, or consumption of natural resources. Vietnam is the happiest nation in Asia. NEF's policy director, Andrew Simms said it measured the "quality of life".

(Let me just say that if sprouting bullshit is a crime, Mr Simms would be arrested and shot on the spot. After which, he should be arrested and shot again).

There will be a lot of people writing in using the Happy Index (what a gay name) to criticise and beat up our Singaporean government. E.g. moaning that despite the nation's impressive economic progress, the Singaporean government has no soul and does not improve the lives satisfication of the ordinary Singaporeans, blah blah no quality of life, blah blah no freedom of speeches, blab blah see what happened to Chee Soon Juan and the blogger Mr Brown who is the "voice of the people", etc etc . . . ad nauseum.










BIG F'NG DEAL.



Before anyone moves into bitching mode, consider this: Would you like to be a citizen in Vanuatu, the No.1 Happiest Place on Earth? Don't even know where is Vanuatu? Hell, you can consider Vietnam which is the 12th Happiest Place on Earth or Palestine (yes, THAT PALESTINE in Gaza which is ruled by the Hamas) at 45th? Want to renounce your Singaporean citizenship and migrate to Palestine or Vanuatu? No?

I DON'T THINK SO, YOU COMPLAINING DUMBASSES!

This index blows so much ass that CO has to wash himself with soap after reading this filth in the Business Times. Singapore rocks! And all you complaining Singaporeans can either migrate across the crossway, or to Australia/NZ, Netherlands, the US or even to North Pole to play with the f'ng polar bears for all I care. More space for me and less bitching around! No more having to stand in queue in McDonalds since everyone has migrated to Australia to eat healthy tofu burgers or Japan to eat raw fish! And while you are at it, take the LV shops with you! Nobody likes them, they take up too much space - space which we could setup a few illegal pirated games / DVDs shop or Old Chang Kees. See, everybody wins! You don’t like Singapore and I don't like you! More Old Chang Kee's curry puff for me! Woo-Hoo!

I had enough of Singaporeans complaining about Singapore. People from other countries, like here in Laos, have nothing but respect and praises about Singapore and our government. The Lao people think the Singaporean government is the best thing since sliced bread (or in the local case, sticky rice) - name one government you trust which could transform Singapore into the awesome kick-ass global metropolis within 40 years? Let's recap - in case you miss the obvious.

No wars, no social and racist riots, no ethnic cleansing killing millions, annual economic progress, public transportation that works, NUS Arts Canteen with kick-ass beef horfun and slutty girls in mini-skirts and black bras walking around, clean HDB flats, McDonalds and KFC everywhere, movie theatres showing the latest movies, awesome paved roads with no cows taking a dump in the middle of it, Sentosa, Parsar Malams selling chinese sausages, Crystal Jade and xia long baos (I can eat a million of these), Chwui Kweh at Tiong Bahru market, cheese murtabak at Fong Seng, no chewing gum sticking on bus seats, glittering Orchard Road with more slutty girls in mini-skirts and strapless bras. . . etc etc. Ladies and Gentlemen, Assholes and Bitches, this is as close to paradise on Earth. If we can get rid of LV, Mango (not the fruit, stupid), Gucci, Myphosis, Zara, Hugo F'ng Boss (Men and Women franchises), Burberry, G2000, Body Shop and dismantle Star Bucks, Singapore will be exactly the Paradise you read about only in the Bible. Singapore is THAT good. Take it from a guy working outside Singapore - you don't appreciate Singapore only after you left the country and has travelled around. You won't believe the kind of living conditions some other countries' people are in.

And while I am at it, I have enough of Singaporeans coming up to me and say "I really like the vast, empty, open green space and hills in Laos/Australia/NZ/Malaysia. Singapore is too modern and have too many buildings that it make me feel constricted. Oh, look! A cow on the road! So cute! This is the kampung life I missed!"

These are the same Singaporeans who usually leave Laos within 4 days after saying they are sick of having nothing to do and nowhere to shop after seeing the 352th cows on the road. DUMBASSES.

DEATH TO STUPID AND WHINY SINGAPOREANS.

We do not have national pride. We do not feel belong.

Sad but true.

Remember ray and adel? They just got themselves PR in Australia. Whatever for, you might ask. These are people with good income and good future in Singapore but they choose to seek refudge somewhere. So what is wrong?

While MOE is desperately trying to infuse national education in our future generation, I must say that it is not working.

What's wrong? Nothing. They are the ones who are wrong. TRAITORS. Really, if you think about it. I can guess their reason: "Bcos Singaporea is so constricted and uncool. I want a farm in Australia with sheeps!" Stupid.

These are born "traitors", if you choose to put it that way. They grew up with everything. So much so that they took everything for granted.

Look at my dad's generation-- they are different. This is their roots. They have seen the worst of Singapore and they grow with the nation. They feel belong.

Sometimes, I feel that we need a national crsis to gel everyone together. Hopefully thru hardship, they'll learn to treasure.

On the flip side, everyone seemed prepared to flee should a national diaster happens... might end up a sifting process to draw the true singapore from traitors.
