one of the ten things i hate about singaporeans

First off, let me say that I’m a Singaporean – a 21 year old male who has completed his national service last year.
Like most of my mates in unit, I resented the 2 years spent in my camp at desolate Lim Chu Kang.
Unlike most of them, the patriot in me still felt it was necessary as much as my hatred for this unwanted conscription burned.
Simply put, we do this to protect the things important to us.
However, there are times when I question why the heck am I putting in the effort to protect some of the idiots on this island.
Yesterday was one of those instances.
