reality just gave me a punch on the face!
went for a routine walk in my neighborhood a few moments back like i always do.
and i began to think if whether this place of mine is safe?
foreigners drinking, a foreign couple by the corner, group of foreigners taking a nap at the playground.its becoming obvious that this neighborhood of mine is becoming quite unsafe.
this brings me back to an experience a few days back where me shariff and shameer were talking in the bus on how the foreigners are taking up our places here in the society and workforce.that surely gave me a scare.
it has become a norm for an 18 year old to be thinking about world happenings and the future even at a young and tender age when they are supposed to be studying and enjoying life.
in the meeting room we were shocked when almost 60% of the people there were foreigners doing their degree here in singapore! by judging on the way they talked.they had no hopes of leaving singapore but wanting to fit into the society itself.
is there any future for us or do we have to work extra hard to compete with them?
Are we feeling alienated on our own soil that we call home?
Think!
