Got this from another friend's blog:
Over the weekend, I watched Singapore Dreaming. Cliched as the subject matter seemed, the film very much hit home. Just like how many local reviewers predicted, a certain uneasiness came over me as the story line panned out. I sympathised, not just for myself, but for my family. And it’s saddening that these themes exist almost universally in some shape or form in most Singaporean families. Is it any wonder that people are trying to escape.
Blame it on our size. Blame it on the government. Blame it on the fact that this country is in a period of transition where the new working population feels out of touch with the toil that our migrant forefathers put in to make it to and survive on this island. Every one of us, including the higher ups, has to accept, and even embrace, the fact that the brain drain we are going through will be a continuous process; one that is very much in the same vein as the migrant blood that flows through each and every one of us.
i'm gonna watch this show. yip.
