Leong Hao Ming Holiday Reflections

For my holiday, I went overseas to Phuket. Phuket is well known for its beautiful beaches and environment. Over at Phuket, the people's way of life is totally different from ours in Singapore. They depend on fishing, they depend on labour to earn meager salary, while in Singapore, majority of our jobs revolve around office jobs. The houses there are also completely different from ours. Their houses might be run down and old, but they still continue living in them just because the don't have the sufficient money to rebuild houses. The people there prefer giving birth to males than females , just because of the fact that in their belief, women are useless but man could become taxi drivers or cleaners. In short, only they could support the family while woman were unable. After the trip, I realised that in Singapore, we're considered lucky to have a safe country to live in, to have a comfortable environment to live in,can't most importantly, equality and equal rights
