Cat, further to my comments.Should our little reddot fail,we may be absorbed by our neighbours and live a life where freedom of speech,religion and culture would be totally out of the question and kowtowing to sorry to say Idiots in the civil service and the police.

Dear Cat,Like you I crossed the causeway 50 years ago and made a home for myself and family,unlike you I am no literati nor intellect as I only have a secondary education, I dare say majority of our generation i.e. 50s,60s & 70s are similar in education level.We were able to work hard and provide for our families to have a better life and education through a govt.that is stable and clean.The sacrifice of freedom of speech so to speak and a feeling of fear of the unknown is the norm than.Yes, today we have reach a standard of living others envy or talk about and I am still staying in my three room HDB flat that I bought for $7,000.Most neighbors my age are still around and will be till we expire.The younger generation with their new found wealth and education are able to chase the 5Cs or whatever that makes them tick today.Just remember that we are nothing but a little red dot with nothing but sheer grit to survive in a sea of green.Should this reddot fail,the literatis,intellects,rich,skilled and the young highly educated will just leave including you Cathrine I am sure.Where will my generation and the not so highly educated i.e. the ordinary people go to????
