Singapore should never be complacent. In
fact, no matter what country it is, a country should never be complacent. It is
due to the fact that complacency is never good to anyone, not even a country.
Complacent is defined as showing smug to one’s achievements.
This is not just being proud or confident
in your achievements. This is going way beyond that as it shows arrogance. If
Singapore starts to become complacent just because of the work our founding
fathers have done, Singapore might start to lag behind, remain undeveloped or
even stay stagnant. This is never good as we should take into consideration
that we are not the only country in the entire world. We have hundreds of other
countries to compete with and if we choose to be complacent and stay stagnant,
other countries will soon catch up very fast. This is quite horrifying as it
would mean the efforts of our founding fathers wasted. Even though we are ahead
of many countries in many ways right now, that does not guarantee a same spot
for our country in the future. Singaporeans must learn now not to depend solely
on our parents but to make Singapore proper with our own hands.
Therefore, I think Singapore should not be
complacent as it might badly affect the country’s future.
