Ian On The Red Dot

In case you forgot, Young PAP released a recruitment ad which is almost a copy of ‘Lost Generation’.

I was thinking of trying my hand at writing a copy for an ad using a similar concept. Not sure how to make the video so I’m sharing what I’ve written. Feel free to improve and use it.

It starts today.
Trying to make Singapore better for all races, religions and sexualities,
Will no longer be our weakness.
Our spoiled ignorant comfy life,
We hold dear.
No matter we are a city, country, or little red dot,
Democracy, Justice, Equality are issues,
We will no longer be influenced by.
HDB upgrading benefits is the thing,
Every Singaporean counts.
In about 2 decades time, I will tell my 21 year old son,
His vote does not matter.
Although people will try to convince him,
That the youth can make a difference with their choices.
We know in our hearts,
Singapore is dead.

Unless we stop allowing such train of thinking,
Singapore is dead.

We know in our hearts,
That the youth can make a difference with their choices.
Although people will try to convince him,
His vote does not matter.
In about 2 decades time, I will tell my 21 year old son,

HDB upgrading benefits is the thing,
We will no longer be influenced by.

No matter we are a city, country, or little red dot,
We hold dear.

Will no longer be our weakness.
Trying to make Singapore better for all races, religions and sexualities,
It starts today.
