Tweekly; our surrondings
It's totally gone. The big green forest is
gone with a blink of an eye. In the past, it's totally just huge patch of green
grass, without buildings at the side the grass. Those birds, dogs and other
animals have no shelter anymore. These few days, the birds have been flying
around the big forest to find their nest. And how about the stray dogs? Their
homes just got taken away, and perhaps they are also taken away, to be send to
SPCA or even worst, to be put to sleep.
Isn't Singapore supposed to be a green country,
where there are many tress around us, having television program to show how
they build the trees, protect those tress, but with just a few billions of
money, they decided to rave the whole forest. At the end of the day, human are
just selfish. I can't say that I'm a vegetarian or doesn't live in a
comfortable flat, but seeing this chopping down of the tress just decided to
break my heart. And having in mind, I do believe in animal cycle, where animals
will eat other animals but not like human eating all of them whenever we feel
like eating and throwing away most of the food because we can’t finish it.
In the past, I can't even see the cars at
the opposite end, but now, I can. In the past, I can see dogs of all different
size taking care of one another, but now, they are all gone.
Sometimes, I wonder, do we need so many buildings surrounding us,
and abandon the nature gap way for us to breathe? But the answer is simple. It’s
money. Everyone wants to be rich, maybe the government would say, oh it's
because they expect more residents to live in. Ya, more residents will
naturally buy those buildings, but those richer one, will buy more units to
invest, and sometimes without anyone living in or merely rent it out. It isn't
wrong, we actually already have enough flats. Singapore has a small population,
what make it big is the foreigners, I'm not pointing fingers on foreigners, but
they make Singapore such a crowded squeeze country and there's a lot out there
saying Singapore has become a combination of China, Philippines and Bangladesh.
Some of them helps us build the flats, so we could live here comfortably and of
course they will usually stay in their hostel, but some of the richer ones will
decide to invest in Singapore. Of course, every country need investments, need
continue of money income-and-outgo, but we are destroying more than what it
value.
Singapore; a small country with big
dreams. Hoping that she could contain what it could holds, expand seawards and
having even more MRT tracks than a big country would even have. Having high CEO
and ERP to stop people from driving but rather to take bus. The MRT track do
bring us convenient to travel to other lines, where we did not even discover in
the parts of Singapore. However, having more and more lines, is killing the
undergrounds and there might be a possibility that it will collapses. I have to
agree that CEO and ERP are reducing the numbers of cars, but people nowadays
also rent cars, otherwise they will be on instalments to purchase a car, and
ERP force my parents to come home and have dinner with me, otherwise I will
have wait till almost 9pm for a dinner, thanks to the east coast ERP system
charging at $6, thank you so much for this health diet.
Singapore leading a hand out to those countries got attacked by
nature disaster but those hands should be given to local aging population. It
really hurts my heart whenever I walk pass the MRT station and there will be
this full of winkles, dark skin with a little hump, about 90 years old
grandma, cutting out card boards, having to sleep at the MRT station because
she couldn't even afford a place to live in. However, recently, I saw hope,
hope from a kind uncle, who offer her place to live, and a hair groom, because
now whenever I reaching home late, I don't see her sleeping at the MRT station.
Also, the uncle would send her to the MRT station and she would continue to cut
the card board. Perhaps, she want to continue to work and not to be greedy of
what the uncle offer her, and she continue to work.
To those people who decided to beg for
money, shame on you. You have the clever brain to crook up stories to beg for
money, and you can't find a job? Most people who beg for money, are not
handicaps. In addition, there will be this bunch of teenagers like a swarm of
bees to buzz around you to sell their $10 voucher, saying it's donation for
whatever company they working for. But, this isn't a volunteer work, like our
flag day, with every $10 donated, they will get a commission of $5, and within
the company, they might even reduce to $1-3 to only be donated. So you still
saying this is some donation for the needy? Think again.
In the world today, there’s no longer the clear black and
white zone where this is good, this is bad. There is something called the grey
zone, where parents educate their child to
be educated and have career to be rich, but have we forget something
even with those education we achieve, we forget about our mother earth. The one
providing us with life.
P.S/ Appreciate every bites of nature you are seeing now, before it's too late.
