NDP 2059

The future
I read with interest Ho Kwon Ping's article mimicking a post National Day speech in 2059 - after 100 years of self-rule. The article was peppered with many amusing achievements and milestones, though in retrospect many modern milestones achieved probably sounded comical to the people of the past too. It urged me to imagine what our country and lifestyle would be like 50 years down the road.

I will be 70 years old then. Will I live till that age? What will become of me? The future, both filled with glorious hope and unpredictable traps, seem to loom ahead...closer than ever before.
