36 Year Wait for Citizenship

by Nathaniel Tan

Nice picture, front page story and all eh? People finally getting their citizenship.

I think that’s all well and good, but has nobody at all stopped to ask: Why on earth did it take so long in the first place??

Instead of glorifying the same government who let this happen for decades, shouldn’t we be talking about holding people accountable, compensation for those who had to wait unjustly, or at the very least, ways of preventing this from happening all over again?
