the lessons I learnt from the Nicoll Highway incident

1. Forget about the things we learnt in Moral Science. Being nice and good DOESN'T pay. Being selfish does. This means that if there ever is any disaster, RUN. never bother to turn back to save others. You'll only get yourself killed, and your fellow countrymen will can't be bothered to look for your body. You'll even have some head of the country telling your family "Aww.. it's sad.. but you should be glad that few people died" How wonderful.

2. Before this, Singapore was MY country, MY home. Now, it's but a place that I live in, the place which provides for me at the moment. As linked to the previous point, please do NOT expect me to protect Singapore from invaders. I do not want to be imprisoned as a POW or get killed by enemies, and then have my leaders telling the country, we shall NOT save her, because it'll be to the disadvantage of our country. We should forget her existence. Yupz, this is what I predict will happen.

3. Finally, used to believe that all Singapore stuff were great.. our Home Team, our defence. Now, I don't. I just know, our Home Team is damn 'efficient'... I don't expect them to save me if I were to get into any problems.. It's just ME and MYSELF that I can depend on... How lovely..

Finally.. the whole saga taught me one thing, that from now on, I'll be as selfish as possible, and also as emotionless as possible. That's the best way to ensure my survival, even if it's at the expense of others. It doesn't pay to help others, especially in Singapore.

Sad to conclude, I'm ashamed of my country..
