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

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.

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.

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

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.

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).
