14 year old Singaporean vows to leave Singapore if PAP is not voted out by the next general election
Dear TR,
After reading mails from Ms Melissa Quek, Mr Devoran, Ms T.Rajendran and Ms Judy Eng, I’ve decided to stop idling behind the computer screen waiting for change to happen. I’m writing in hopes that I can reach out to people whom may read and perhaps relate to what I have been experiencing as of late.
First off, I’m a 14-year-old Secondary School student. My family aren’t rich, but we are staying in a 4-room HDB flat. Even though I’m 14, I understand the things that are happening.
A little about my current family position. My mother has cancer and she has to go for check-ups regularly.
Early last month, about 8 hours after my mother had left for a checkup at Singapore General Hospital, I went with my father. It was 11pm then, and we both were worried about her. There was no reason for a checkup to be this long. So we went, but we didn’t know which block she was at. I called her by phone.
Turns out that she was at the emergency block, Block 1.
A little of a back-story. A doctor who removed the tumor in her right lung claimed there was no need for chemotherapy. However, she still complained of pain in her right chest. It turned out that the cancer cells had already infected her lymph nodes and it wasn’t detected then. Now it’s too late though. The cancer cells are slowly eating her life away.
Now that when I recall this incident, I feel disgust and hate towards this medical standard. Is this acceptable? Why should a check-up, in the EMERGENCY block, end up being 8 hours long?! How on earth did that doctor think that chemotherapy was not necessary? I had no idea what happened. By the time my mother had received the report and we reached home, it was almost 2am. I missed school the next day as I was too fatigued.
What is the government doing? Did they even CHECK? Where’s our money going?!
Obviously that greedy geezer and the famiLEE.
This really angers me. My mother also has very little money left in her bank. She cannot go to work, and now I’m also trying to save as much as I can so she doesn’t have to give me too much allowance everyday. GIRO doesn’t help much either. Luckily, my now married sister and brother, who have their own families, are helping. But that doesn’t even amount to much. It’s still a hard road to walk, but walk it we must.
Other than this beyond disappointing medical incident, I also have a school life. It’s not very enjoyable either.
MRT, public buses. I’m sure everyone knows that it’s crowded as heck, and my gigantic monster of a school bag doesn’t help either. Going my car isn’t any better. The road is congested as hell in the morning. In the afternoon, it’s better. But I occasionally have a couple of PRs sitting in the seat before me, talking loudly non-stop. Even the earpieces blasting my ears to deaf doesn’t help.
In school, sometimes we have CME or PG lessons and the teacher gives the class a worksheet which sings praises about what PAP has done for the people. One I recall from memory, was roughly,
“Every time I see old folks gathering recyclables from a garbage can on the street, my heart laments for them. The people these days are lacking filial piety…” …. “…I am glad that the government is helping the needy with assistance schemes. The government is doing a good job.”
Obviously there is something very wrong there. I thought to myself, ‘if the government is doing a good job, then why are these old folks gathering and selling recyclables?’ I asked the teacher so, but he just shrugged and replied that he doesn’t know why.
He’s probably another brainwashed PAP dog, that’s why.
Also, 4 china students transfered into my class during the past month. They are always getting the praises and 1st place for tests/exams. They are leeching the motivation out of everyone. No one really mixes with them. The whole class might as well be a class for PRs instead! I cannot really express myself too well with words, but every time I see them, I can’t help but hate their attitude. I know not all of them are bad, but with all these incidents like then acting all big and mighty, or talking loud and sometimes insulting us behind our back loudly, really left this impression on me.
The government loves them too. They bring money with them. They are also cheaper, faster, better. The way I see it, they are cheaters, liars, asses. Again, I know not all of them are bad. I am referring to the ones that really gives the impression. I have seen it too many times. It’s easy to tell.
I also sometimes worry about my future if I were to continue to stay in Singapore. No doubt the population density would get really dense, and at some point, buying a house would blow a million dollars. Everything sucks you dry. So therefore I arrived with this conclusion. If nothing is done right to change is broken system, then I’m moving to another country. Living here is as good as being in a lifetime debt to the government, and that is the same as being on a leash.
I feel so much rage for this greedy government. Leeching our money, which they then throw them in a well praying a genie would come out. I vow, if PAP is still not voted out after the next election, then goodbye, Singapore, I’m moving onto another country once I am able to stand on my own.
By the by, there’s more mind control worksheets I’ve done.
“Do you feel proud to be a Singaporean? If so, why?”
No. The government is ignorant and greedy, that’s why.
Anyway, thanks for reading. I feel better getting these off my chest. You may do whatever you wish with this.

My suggestion: To stay overseas for a couple of years before making the decision to migrate. The grass always looks greener on the other side. For all the dissatisfaction, why not vow to make a change on this society than to leave?
Effectively man thanks for the facts, significantly liked, though i can’t believe yourself on a number of conditions.Exactly why would likely somebody think it is doable to destroy the guidelines therefore easily!
Hi there, I discovered your web site by way of Google while searching for a comparable topic, your site got here up, it looks great. I have bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.
I have been browsing on-line greater than three hours today, yet I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s pretty worth sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content material as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
Keep your cool there 14 years old, you are not ready for battle as yet. Work hard and study hard until you graduate, serve NS, and when you reach 21 years old and if you can find an employment based overseas, get exposure, explore your options and gain experience before deciding what you want to be and where you want to go from there.
You have a great story and great talent, don’t waste it. Think wisely before act of impulsive. Hang in there, your day will come for another chapter.
Best of luck Son.

why is this under attack by bots?
After losing my job, I decided to spend more time with my sons. Picking them up after school in the afternoons was a real eye opener. The number of fathers picking their kids from school, wearing T-shirts and shorts amazed me. I started conversations with several of these dads and was hardly surprised that they were either ‘self-employed’, ‘in between jobs’, ‘working from home’ or ‘taking a break’. All euphemisms for being retrenched. There must be close to 50,000 Singaporeans between the ages of 35 to 55 out of work because there is no shortage of foreigners who are cheaper and younger to take their jobs.
Dear Kristine,
I am sorry to hear about your mother and I am impressed by the insight and awareness that you possess. However, unfortunately things are not always so clear cut.
It is true that mainstream education (especially in secondary schools) do not teach you the whole picture of certain aspects of society – but sadly, that is mainly due to constraints on the syllabus and of course realistically speaking, which government education system would teach the failings?
And it is a misconception that science knows everything. In Medicine right now, although technology is advanced to the point of the possibility of extending human life, there are many things that are not fully understood – and cancer is one of them. Every cancer is different, and some cancers are harder to detect than others. More than often, the decision is up to the subjective analysis of the doctor. And scans don’t always show everything. I understand your frustration at the inefficiency you highlighted and at the doctor’s err in his decision, but things are not always so clear cut.
And hating the government or moving away isn’t going to solve it. Like many other posters have mentioned, the grass is always greener on the other side. Every country will have their own problems, and inequality will always exist because of capitalism – and even the ‘socialism’ we know now (which isn’t the truest sense of socialism) is not going to resolve inequality. It is unfortunate, but it is true. And the government cannot take on a large-scale welfare system to change things because it would mean heavy taxes on workers who are already faced with the burden of an ageing population.
Furthermore, with regard to the issue with the foreigners that you have, it is a situation many singaporeans are upset with, but the reason behind it are so much more important that the government still chooses to go ahead with it. To put it simplistically, they need foreign investment and new citizens to try and reverse the ageing population. It is not so easy to just oust them or shut them away.
This may all sound very apathetic or even ridiculous to you, but I hope this has helped in some way or the other. If you want change, moving away is just escaping to a new set of problems. Instead, aim to go to university, and get a job where you can make change happen. Don’t let your passion and intelligence go to waste.
I wish you all the best.
