A tale of two cities

Just been reading on the whole 'dogs' incident as well as its related post. And truth be told, i feel its a little blown out of proportion. Here is a man, scolding another man because man B pissed him off. Exactly what i would have done, and what many whatever they may say, would have done. I'm not saying what he did was right, but that what he did was common place. And we need some freedom of speech anyway. And that includes, fortunately and unfortunately, giving the old 'up yours' in the modern fashion.

I just led me to think once again about my dual identity, both as a malaysian, and as a singaporean. Yes, i am not a citizen yet, but if circumstances permit, i fully wish to become one, and i've did my part in NS and whatever bullcrap opposers of foreigners talented or otherwise likes to throw forward when faced with increasing competition for their jobs.

Unlike this person, I'm not under any scholarship in singapore, in fact, i've been rejected by almost every school i've applied for in singapore. I started out in a school that started on the same day i started school in Singapore. I got in to my secondary school despite being out of the qualifying score published in the school selection handbook by the MOE. I got into my JC of choice after an appeal. And most recently, i was denied a place in NUS to study medicine.

But that has nothing to do with anything.

The only reason i'm writing this post is to say. Yes. Its possible to feel like you belong to two places. And Yes. Dual citizenship should be allowed, in my humble opinion. And if you ask me who's side i'll be on in case of say a war. I'd say up yours, and be found in the nearest operating bar enjoying a quite drink, a la wolverine in first class.
