First Bus Strike Then Riot, What's Next?

Some speculate Lucky Plaza or Geyland will be next as it is an enclave for foreign workers.  I know one thing for sure.  We have reach the critical mass where it is sufficient size of different groups to spontaneously combust.  So beneath the surface of well manicure lawn lies worm holes and rabbit burrows or even sinkholes.  Our well managed and disciplined country is no longer immune to unruly behaviours and chaos.

It is quite a dent in our reputation.  Can we prevent chaos with so many from different culture and social norms.  Are there serious cracks in our society which our government is total blind to?  Do they really think and feel they are always right and the population just need the explanation of their policies?

The possibilities are endless for the future.  The path our government take is critical.  The citizens' votes are crucial in changing and addressing the changes required.  Maybe like the once in 50 years flood become a regular occurence, riots, strikes and old ways of showing the workers' grieves may be the way forward.  I hope not.
