Yes ! Both Mainland China & Taiwan are getting weary of our 'we know "bestterest" ' attitude. Unlike them, we humble Singaporeans have to take it as they come.
I think 66.6% of Singaporeans DARE NOT! Because they are afraid that 1) their flats value will go down 2) their flat environment will not be well maintained. 3) they will not have their covered walkways such that come rainy days, they will have to brave the rain. 4) they will be discovered by the ruling party that they vote opposition and will face "persecution". 5) Singapore will collapse if PAP is not return to power 6) that PAP are all world class talents, they are indispensable 7) they will feel that they are indebted to the incumbents because the govt has given us sweets before election time. 8) that some of their family members (or themselves) belong to the civil services/govt bodies so die die must vote for ruling party. That must be the most powerful force since govt is one of the largest employer in this land.
The only thing S'pore had been "bestterest" so far is perhaps "Ministers and PM's salaries."
Other thing better be humble ...
While Chairman Mao pledged that the Chinese would be able to bend nature to their will, our MM thinks that no amount of engineering can prevent flooding in Singapore as they are "acts of God"....
