Defecating on Civilian War Memorial Park in the Name of Money

Recently, as I drove by the Civilian War Memorial Park, I chance upon an unsightly hideous temporary structure, erected for the sole purpose of F1 race as an audience observation tower, on the very premise we, Singaporeans, view sacred.

Civilian War Memorial Park is a sacred area reminding us on the unity and the humiliations brought upon by the Japanese during their occupation.

Hence when one steps into the compound one should have the etiquette to be respectful for the many departed souls witness during the occupation.
When the race comes and as people staggered into the tower, they are going to drink, talk loudly, possibly smoke, dance a little, throwing up or defecating in the compound… ignoring the significant status it holds in all Singaporeans heart.

What has Singapore government become? As long as there is a profit to be made, they would turn a blind eye to almost anything, and anything goes if they can make a quite buck.

Where are the humanity and decency our government once had? What on earth are they thinking?

The message from our government to us is that, as long as there is money to be made, we can forgo any form of principles, humanities and decencies. We can basically flush all the Confucius teaching of “忠孝仁义礼义廉耻” down the toilet.

What a shame that Singaporean harvest this kind sort of government body. I propose to tear down the structure immediately and leave the sacred ground or the Civilian War Memorial to its peace and quite it deserves.

I’m hoping that Asiaone.com netizen please join me in the partition and write on the thread, the more respond in this thread the more we will catch our government’s attention.
