we have always been encouraged to read newspaper to improve our knowledge and language.. erm i think thats the reason right?
anyway i find it quite troubling to read especially e straits times.. i mean for Newpaper i probably focus more on its sports news then e other news..
an example for today's sunday times, (yea i bought it out of impulse after my run..) there are a few questions which i cud not find answers to...
1)e political scene in Thai
i cant remember how many times i heard this but is our SG political scene good especially when its largely dominated by one party.. but looking at our neighbours, is that really a bad thing? as of now, we are pretty well off i wud say in the region.. will having more "stronger" opposing parties really benefit SG, or drive it towards instability..
2)Naming a MRT station Hwa Chong..
yes its outside Hwa Chong Institution, yes it has a huge history, yes its quite a landmark.. but isnt it abit too much to name a station after hwa chong? given the nation's success driven mentality, will there be other schools fighting to have MRT stations, road named after their sch? so we might have a SG Poly station instead of dover? its quite unfair to the rest of the schs right? its like acknowledging that Hwa Chong is one of its own, will it get too full of itself? in a way, can it be seen as giving them "special" privilege or power? although i admit duchess isnt a nice name..
3) our table tennis team autograph session..
seriously, will the true fans pls stand up?? in our achievement-driven society, how many of them are true fans, how many of them are willing to stick with them through highs and lows.. if they did not win a medal, these supposedly supporters.. will they even show up? it hurts to see that our sports scene are only supported only after they start to show some results.. results really that impt? where's e passion?
i might be stereotyping but then the huge attention arose only after they won the medal..
hmmm.. mayb like all our parents say.. jus go concentrate in ur studies..
