My aspirations......(PArt 1)

k la 2day i decide to tok abt my aspirations as a politician. perhaps many pple will ask y i wanna be one???? well, i tink tt it is the onli way to contribute to ur society which u r belong to....4 mi it's the place where i was born and grew up 4 16 yrs- sg. still reading abt this bk: My Life by Bill Clinton.....toking abt his story when he was born until he stepped down as President of the United States.... many pple like greg detested him so much or perhaps all presidents except Franklin Delano Roosevelt... i was inspired by tis President as he and i may have goals in common or also events....when he was at the age of seventeen, he met President Kennedy....which was inspired by him as well...... in 1963 when he was assasinated, Clinton himself was so shocked upon hearing the news....couldnt accept...the meeting with him a few months which seemed as juz now, and "now" he was dead....tis is wat typical citizens shld feel, the loss of a leader at tt point of time, the nation juz becomes so helpless without a leader.....i can understand to some extent.....i desperately ask my self all along this yr in aust. wat is like to be a leader of a nation???? k la, hueva have read this blog will scoff, a typical 17 yr old boi dun tink so far like wat is it like being a leader.....or how to become a leader.....the ans i have found so far are charisma, mettle, sense of imagination and reality. I might still have yet to digest or fully understand these personalities. Qualifications are still veri significant to be one but as Lee Kuan Yew has said, qualifications or degrees are onli one point of analysis, most significantly, are ur personalities, do they make you have wat it takes to be a politician.....Looking at all the prominent leaders in the world including Lee Kuan Yew, they have devoted all energy to the nation-building process.....giving so much of themselves, growing white hair comes together wif it....for eg, Lee Kuan Yew, from 1959 when he was PM, he was filled wif black hairs, but in 1990 he was filled wif streaks of white hairs, as u can see....giving so much of urself....his son Lee Hsien Loong, last yr when he was filled wif glowing youth, ready to take on the job, but gradually, when seeing him on National Day Message, he seemed to have been assuming the post for a few yrs. Saw streaks of white hairs on his fringe, but also entirely his apperance how he looked, he looked quite weak than last yr when he was sworn in....asking mi abtmy opinions of the Prime Ministers of Singapore , I will ask I respect them all, especially Lee Kuan Yew, without him, Singapore will not have wat it have today....I truly repect tis person, I believe fervourly tt all Singaporeans will endorse this above statement...or advocate it when necessary....He lay the foundation for Singapore's economy...then Goh Chok Tong, he led all Singaporeans to brave through the financial crisis in 1997, tt was the worst time in history, later den he had to resolve insurmountable problems such as SARS, 2001 economic slowdown and the arrest of J.I network(i.e tis might expose Singapore's vulnerability to terrorism)...however, we did not give in to these problems, but we faced it wif courage and determination to succeed. In the end, we did succeed. den Lee Hsien Loong, he promotes a bright new society for allyounger Singaporeans which allow them to adapt to this environment....liberal society...overall, Singapore has achieved robust economic growth since 1965.....we have SAF, which is strong and tested and allowed to us to sleep peacefully at night....we have achieved all these fundamentals...wat's next a gradual decline or the continuous/unprecedented growth of prosperity. For now, I have one hing to say: We dun noe, but we have to make a difference and change Singapore to make it brand new....A brand new Singapore is the answer to unprecedented prosperity, quick response to the world market, manufacturing and stuffs. In other words, the future is ours to make...let us reah out for the sky, we will suceed as one Singapore(united Singapore), juz like how we survive and prosper after the separation wif Malaysia in 1965 and also other crisis. We muz not be complacent wif wat we have, I will say when I grow up, suitable age to serve 4 my country....I will not let such golden achievements or efforts of our forefathers go to the drain.... As long as I am alive, I will preserve or strengthen this prosperity we have......I will and I promise....another question popped out of my mind, can Singapore survive without any hinterland? My answer to tis is yes, we can and we have. Have in wat sense? We have survived 4 40 yrs, can u imagine no one anticipate us to survive, a fledgling country wif no natural resources, no armed forces and many others. However, over tis 40 yrs, we have proved them worong, we prospered and be one of the highest GDP per capita in the world, a leader in terms of economy of the entire South-East Asia. I will maintain Singapore's position and significance in thr region, I will and I promise. Now, till then, I shall introduce my resolutions for my Singapore in mind, I will strive to make Singapore a second New York City. Yes, it is certainly possible but how? Make Singapore competitive in terms of economy and toursm attactions. Yes it is easily said than done, how???? Well, juz like wat PM Lee has said, remake the entire Singapore, remake our city......plans have been drawn out to remake this city-state of 4.4 million pple, including the building of bayfronts.....or wat hhaha, we have our veri own Statue of Liberty.....main attraction of New York.....ya remake our city....k la end here Part 2 will be posted soon..outta here...
