Don’t be so bl**dy sensitive, man! Every time a comment is made, it is directed at your kind. Read the text carefully. Where are the Indonesians mentioned?

Next time take a look in the eye of the pemulung dragging his cart (gerobak) around the city, starting at dawn and going into the early hours of the morning, gathering the rubbish of the rich people. This is not laziness, my friend.

He spoke passionately about this to the people he met.

One day he was promoted to the position of CEO of his company. The suddenchange in circumstances also changed his perception of how work should be carried out. He was under pressure to perform and for the company to perform. He made all his staff work late and set an example himself working seven days a week.

Whew! What a load of hot air!

A few times I was the last to leave.

I loved the job. I also loved the company.

A question that always hangs around at speeches like Mr Murthy, is: isn’t it personal choice for people to work as late as they wish?

But now I understand that at least in the Singapore context, it’s a rat race to the bottom. Taken in aggregate, everyone’s personal choice seems to be to work late, and everyone else is just influenced to work late. A result: Singaporeans are, as Mr Murthy said: complainers, irritable, or cranky, or even angry most of the times.
