The establishment would have us believe that citizenship is best represented by a designated date for hundreds of individuals [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patrioticsingaporean.wordpress.com&blog=1408459&post=23&subd=patrioticsingaporean&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

How quickly time files&#8230; it wasn&#8217;t too long ago that we were heralded as the new generation of leaders who would guide the world away from the baby-boomers&#8217; cry of want, spend and waste, and propel it towards a post-consumerist future.

Let me state upfront that while the series is based loosely on real events and real people, it is to be read as a fictional story. Additionally, I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patrioticsingaporean.wordpress.com&blog=1408459&post=18&subd=patrioticsingaporean&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[National Day is around the corner, so I thought I&#8217;d reflect on the refrain of one of my favourite songs &#8212; We Are Singapore, based on the recent Singapore Angle Consumer vs Citizen debate.

This is my family

If you will indulge me, picture yourself in an enormous underground shelter, being bombarded by subliminal messages such as &#8220;You are specially chosen&#8230; The world out there is uninhabitable and lifeless&#8230; You are safe here&#8230; Your job is to wait [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=patrioticsingaporean.wordpress.com&blog=1408459&post=13&subd=patrioticsingaporean&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
