		<description>didnt someone say we have the &quot;highest qualification&quot; taxi driver?

ppl should not &quot;have the impression that taxi drivers are of a lower intellectual class&quot;.

they are people who are forced by circumstances.</description>

		<description>What is an elite? Everyone these days is obsessing over the negative view (which is like the ELITIST mentality...&#039;get out of my elite, uncaring face&#039; sound familiar?) The thing is that subtly it is appearing everywhere...the self-righteous, the better-than-thous, everywhere...

The thing is that after fulfilling the prerequisite of hard work, your future generations are automatically elite. It&#039;s like the American passport...if you are born in america you are an american. Simple as that. And they don&#039;t know what&#039;s hard work, they only know how to scoff at people with more troubles. ELITIST views come from here.

As for the rest of us, Aaron, i agree with your view of the golden handcuffs. Got money, can already. Even if the wealth is very unevenly distributed, at home got rice to eat can liao loh.

The general response to this is, well, apathy. At a time when the Government wants us to be more involved and less apathetic, and then they go on raising our taxes and the salaries of our sewer serpen...erm, civil servants yet again, so what do they want really?

They want a SECURE POWER BASE (by shutting us up with small insignificant packets of money which will be  gratefully accepted, but it&#039;s one-off) and to MILK US FOR WHAT WE&#039;RE WORTH. That&#039;s all. We&#039;re not citizens! Like the foreign talents, we are just so. Talents. RAW MATERIALS. heh.

Speaking of foreign talents, maybe it&#039;ll be better next time lah. Especially if all the Singaporeans migrate and then send their kids back to Singapore as foreign talent. Study for free, work with good pay. While you sit at home waiting for their monthly contributions. Heh.</description>
