[Plea for help] An Open Letter to all Singaporeans.

Dear Mr/Ms (who is reading this letter)

I don't know how long I will live because of my extreme sedentary lifestyle(spending up to 14 hours a day on the computer since Primary 3), but as a teenager at the time of writing, I am worried about the future of Singapore. I don't know if I will live to see SG 100, but I really hope Singapore gets to see SG100.

I have heard rumours of a brain drain, whereby Singaporeans who are capable of migrating overseas are migrating overseas in the numbers. This may also be the reason why there might be a strong possibility that around 40% of all Singaporeans may not be born in Singapore in the future.
I would like to strongly reiterate/emphasize here that we should embrace this racial diversity, but I just find it sad that if such rumours are true. Then, there's nothing much we can do about it, because its their choice. I just find it sad that so few people like Singapore, but I can understand why they don't like it, because its a highly fast paced, stressful and competitive place to live in. Moreover, it feels like we live in a culture of fear, fear that if you do the wrong thing, you'll get into trouble.
It feels that once you slow down, you won't be able to catch up....

We, as one people, one country are in a very problematic situation, because on one hand, we need to make sure we continue to stay relevant in order to maintain our independence, but this means we suffer in terms of our own happiness, as shown in why Singapore is one of the most unhappiest places to live in, and our probably rising mental illness cases..

What I'm hoping for is we slow ourselves down slightly, to make us as a population happier, but enough to stay relevant so we can keep our independence....

I speculate/expect that if we cannot maintain our relevance, we may potentially fall under the influence of China, considering majority of our population are Chinese, the worst case scenario, being a satellite state of China.

Its also sad that few people are willing to enter politics, because we really need another man similar to LKY to guide us towards a possible SG100.....

Most of the time (85%), I'm so afraid to express my opinions openly because of how limited our freedom of speech is, but I don't know, I just hope nothing goes wrong with this post.

I sincerely apologise if anyone feels offended reading this post.

Regards,
UnknownHikikomori. :(
