what it means to be a little red dot....


Singaporeans normally hate being called a little red dot, but think about it again. Is it totally a negative way to call Singapore a little red dot? Well I dont think so....
Erm..In my opinion,I guess singapore is called a little red dot as although it is a very small country, it is making lots more money than other bigger countries .This term is now proudly taken by Singaporeans as evidence that Singapore’s importance is far greater than warranted by its size....let's see...hmm...WHAT ELSE......
2005 is the 40th anniversary of Singapore’s independence.singapore,this small and vulnerable country has become a stable, prosperous and respected member of the international community.Little red dot is sometimes misunderstood,the key reason for this is Singapore’s unique position.It is neither a developed or developing country, nor fully a member of the east or west. Surely, the “little red dot” on the map must now be taken more seriously and with greater respect.
Actually singapore has disadvantages and advantages too...Let me talk about the advantages first....
Singapore is alot safer than other countries as it does not have natural disasters such as earthquakes which bigger countries like China often experience.Singapore is also doing very
well financially too. Some other countries are also very envious that she is doing so well too.....
Next up...Disadvantages....
Singapore is too tiny.. it might even get covered up by sea water if tsunami hits us..(touchwood..)LAH
So singaporeans,be glad that we are called a little red dot!
