We also noticed that very few households are flying the Singapore flag during this period. Blocks with many neatly arranged flags are clearly works of their respective town councils.
I'm not gonna go deep into WHY there are fewer flags. There are too many possible causes. (E.g. Fewer Singaporeans staying in HDB flats coz flats are rented to foreigners, increase in general unhappiness, sale of flags not as actively promoted, flag-flying has become unfashionable etc.)
What I wish to point out is that while one may be unhappy with the government, ruling party, foreigners, screeching stray cats etc, one should still be proud of being a Singaporean. Coz the 'Stand Up for Singapore' Singaporeans are an endangered species which is likely to become extinct in just a few decades.
You can still choose to fly that flag to exhibit your SG pride. Do it. Why not? You still love this country!
Or go buy from the Hong Kong casual wear retailer, Giordano, that "I Y SG" T-shirt and wear it everywhere.
Or you can hang a cyber SG flag on your Facebook profile pic.
Or hang a life-size flag in a MRT train like this guy did.
