Sometime earlier this week, I dreamt of people being run over by MRT trains.
There’s an article in ST Insight today about complacency. Dissection later, but it’s not particularly perceptive.
And now, off to attempt a lousy pittance of an essay. If only literature could be compared in a nice matrix like products, soft and hard..

Complacency is one of those buzzwords and bogeyconcepts that get bandied about a lot. Largely, the argument goes, because we are a small island with no natural resources, if we are complacent, then we will (insert dire consequence here).

I’d like to do a nice graph of occurrences of ‘complacency’ in ST over time, then add in news flags à la Google Finance charts.
Wondering whether I shouldn’t publish it when it’s done.

A good try would be monitor the “Insight” or “Editorial” pages for about six months?

Ideally, I’d backtrack a bit and (attempt to) pinpoint the rise, but a large stack of newsprint just went out the door not too long ago..
Hmm.

channelnewsasia would be a good source. this whole thing started because of the escape lah. then someone old and very senior came to say we all complacent.

Well, this is where it all began. Well, almost.
