This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

It far exceeds the proportion of ethnic Indian-Singaporeans in the nation's population. The government should not dismiss the whole issue as fake because of one fake picture.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US.. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

The rap video by that pair of Indian siblings tells it all. This is becoming more an issue in multi-racial Singapore as the proportion of Indians in the population increases.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

There are many who, when they go to the West on long term, example for years of studies, would discard them. Muslim females will shed their headdresses, Hindus will be without their dotted foreheads, Sikhs will have their hair cut and faces clean shaven. They will tell you it is in order to “fit it” with the society there. Why not in their Singapore too?

Muslim females have been ruled out of competitive sports because the sports wears would be against Islamic rules. Even group activity like cheerleading would be out too, again because of the costumes. Why is there no Muslims concern about the lack of religious equality or about the ideals of diversity and inclusiveness in these areas? Its because Muslim males are not ruled out in these areas. While the modesty of the Muslim females are preserved, their males can still get physically close to non-Muslims females who come immodestly dressed.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

Let’s look at only two of them.

Singapore was on its way to full recovery from the pandemic when it was hit by a new wave of infections. Its all because the government has been too lax when it comes to Indians. If only the government had cut-off travels from India as early as it did for China during the first wave.The government should screen carefully everyone coming out of India or been to India ,without fear of being labeled “racist”.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

Singapore was on its way to full recovery from the pandemic when it was hit by a new wave of infections. Its all because the government has been too lax when it comes to Indians. If only the government had cut-off travels from India as early as it did for China during the first wave.The government should screen carefully everyone coming out of India or been to India ,without fear of being labeled “racist”.
> Even when we are in the midst of a pandemic, we are starting a racial squabble. MSM, social media, Ministers, Opposition Leader and now, even the President, are involved. They all point to one view: In Singapore, the Chinese majority is the perpetrator of racism and the racial minorities are always the victims. This itself is racism, anti-Chinese racism to be precise. The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two. Here’s another one:
>
>
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyNOq9vUbd4
>
> The media is just as guilty. Racially derogatory terms such as ‘cheena’ and ‘pigs’ have been used to refer to the Chinese in the media.
>
> Recent incidents have again renewed the call for Singaporeans to forget their race but only recognise their nationality. Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc..

Singapore was on its way to full recovery from the pandemic when it was hit by a new wave of infections. Its all because the government has been too lax when it comes to Indians. If only the government had cut-off travels from India as early as it did for China during the first wave.The government should screen carefully everyone coming out of India or been to India ,without fear of being labeled “racist”.
> > Even when we are in the midst of a pandemic, we are starting a racial squabble. MSM, social media, Ministers, Opposition Leader and now, even the President, are involved. They all point to one view: In Singapore, the Chinese majority is the perpetrator of racism and the racial minorities are always the victims. This itself is racism, anti-Chinese racism to be precise. The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two. Here’s another one:
> >

> >
> > The media is just as guilty. Racially derogatory terms such as ‘cheena’ and ‘pigs’ have been used to refer to the Chinese in the media.
> >
> > Recent incidents have again renewed the call for Singaporeans to forget their race but only recognise their nationality. Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

> Isn’t the Hindu Indian in the wrong? He is too insensitive towards his neighbors. He has no regard for good neighborliness. He is only concerned about stamping his Indianness on his neighbors. The bell he uses sounds too loud and irritating. Again the video is misleading. From the angle of view, it must have been taken by someone from the Indian’s residential unit. The video shows the man rings the bell only for a short while. That’s probably because of the gong. Normally, he must have rung it too long and too frequently to drive his neighbors crazy. Indian edited media like the ST and Todayonline report the case as a Chinese disturbing an Indian performing his religious routine. Chinese woman is assumed to be at fault. She is being investigated by police. Maybe its the IMH for her too.

> The Chinese guy was concerned that an Indian guy might be preying on a Chinese girl. He is being protective of Chinese girls. Perhaps he has known of cases of Indians preying on Chinese girls. And there are plenty of such cases. Just to mention a few.
>
> 1. Indian males pinch the butts of Chinese girls. Most annoying is that they will do it when another Chinese male is walking pass the girl, making the victim believes that the Chinese male is the culprit.

>
> 3. One well known Chinese female blogger was molested multiple times by Indians.
>
> 4. Several cases of serial molests of Chinese girls by Indian males. In one case in the 1990’s, one Indian male molested almost 20 Chinese females before he was arrested. He was charged in court. His sentence? Sent to India for meditation!
>
> 5. It not just ordinary people. Even high-ranking Chinese females are not spared. During one official event, a Chinese female MP was seated beside an Indian male on stage. As she left her seat to give her speech at the podium, the Indian male stretched his arm across the back of her seat. Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended. If an Indian dare to do this to a Chinese female MP in full public view, what would Indians not do to ordinary Chinese females in ordinary circumstances?
>
> 6. There are many unsolved/unreported cases of Indian males molesting Chinese females. There are many large notice boards, set up by the police, asking for witnesses. Many of these cases happen where construction works are on-going or have recently finished. Those workers are mostly South-Asians, mostly Indians. Their modus operandi is simple. While at work, look out for quiet spots around the area. After work, or on rest days, return to molest Chinese girls at those spots..
>
> 7. Chinese girls raped by Indians. Can happen on the the girl’s first date with an Indian guy.
>
> I have listed only 7 of many more cases. They are not just about sexism but racism. How often do we hear about Indians molesting and raping their own kind? Its a fact that Indian males have a tendency to prey on Chinese females. Singaporeans, especially Chinese, should appreciate what this Chinese guy has said and done in public. He is highlighting the very serious issue of anti-Chinese sexism and racism. He should be commended. Instead he is turned into a pariah while the half-Indian is turned into “a hero who fights against Chinese racism”.

> Ignore the loud clown who is obviously biased against Beow Tan because he is non-Chinese. I have used his video because it has some of Beow Tan’s own videos which provide some important historical info about the case.
>
> It started some years ago when Beow Tan had a Malay family as neighbor. The Malay family coerced Beow Tan to be married to their son. She declined. They pestered her until she had to report them to the police and sought more than one MPs’ help. Instead of the matter ending there, it was the beginning of her nightmare. For the next 7 to 8 years, she was harassed and assaulted by Malay strangers. She had made many police reports on the attacks. Her experiences make her suspicious of Malays. She developed a phobia for Malays, especially when they are present in groups around or near to her.
>
> Based on her past experiences, one can conclude that Beow Tan is one poor Chinese victim of organised harassment and assaults by anti-Chinese Malay racists. She deserves all the support and sympathy she can get. She also deserves protections from the authority. Instead, she lost her job and was referred to the IMH. Is this fair?
>
>
> The case of Beow Tan reveals something sinister about the racial minorities in Singapore. For the Chinese, being a victim of sexist and racist crimes committed by the racial minorities against them is only half the story. The other half is worse. After their complaints go public, they will face further harassment and assaults by the racial minorities. These are not carried out by random individual nor are they spontaneous. They are carried out in a well organised and orchestrated manner. One method is to provoke you to make racist remarks against racial minorities. This has not only happened to Beow Tan. It has happened to the Chinese preys of Indians sexists and racists mentioned earlier. It will happen to any Chinese whose dispute with the racial minorities become public. It will happen to the Chinese woman beating the gong. It will happen to the Chinese guy who warn the Indian against preying on Chinese woman. Of course I too will not be spared.
>
> The police have not done a proper job in dealing with racial issues.. It should be going after organised anti-Chinese racism, be more diligent in solving sex crimes committed by the racial minorities against Chinese, instead of wasting their time on investigating the Chinese in minor racial disputes.

> The judiciary system should not assume that the racial minorities are always the victims whom it has to protect more than the racial majority. No more such stupid sentence as one which send an Indian serial molester to India for meditation, pls.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

Singapore was on its way to full recovery from the pandemic when it was hit by a new wave of infections. Its all because the government has been too lax when it comes to Indians. If only the government had cut-off travels from India as early as it did for China during the first wave.The government should screen carefully everyone coming out of India or been to India ,without fear of being labeled “racist”.
> > > Even when we are in the midst of a pandemic, we are starting a racial squabble. MSM, social media, Ministers, Opposition Leader and now, even the President, are involved. They all point to one view: In Singapore, the Chinese majority is the perpetrator of racism and the racial minorities are always the victims. This itself is racism, anti-Chinese racism to be precise.. The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two. Here’s another one:

> > > Recent incidents have again renewed the call for Singaporeans to forget their race but only recognise their nationality. Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race.. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended.

For the Chinese, being a victim of sexist and racist crimes committed by the racial minorities against them is only half the story. The other half is worse.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

It depends on whether Singapore policy makers will switch giant from US to China. As India rises, it too would want to exert its power on Singapore. Lee Kuan Yew, founder of modern Singapore and its first PM, had once mentioned that in future China and India would both compete for dominant influence over Singapore. Has that future arrived?

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

Muslim females have been ruled out of competitive sports because the sports wears would be against Islamic rules. Even group activity like cheerleading would be out too, again because of the costumes. Why is there no Muslims concern about the lack of religious equality or about the ideals of diversity and inclusiveness in these areas? Its because Muslim males are not ruled out in these areas. While the modesty of the Muslim females are preserved, their males can still get physically close to non-Muslims females who come immodestly dressed.

This is so racially biased against the Chinese. The racial minorities are not so innocent when it comes to racism. There are many anti-Chinese racists among the non-Chinese in Singapore. There are many incidents to prove this. Let’s look at only two of them.

Singapore was on its way to full recovery from the pandemic when it was hit by a new wave of infections. Its all because the government has been too lax when it comes to Indians. If only the government had cut-off travels from India as early as it did for China during the first wave.The government should screen carefully everyone coming out of India or been to India ,without fear of being labeled “racist”.
> > > > Even when we are in the midst of a pandemic, we are starting a racial squabble. MSM, social media, Ministers, Opposition Leader and now, even the President, are involved. They all point to one view: In Singapore, the Chinese majority is the perpetrator of racism and the racial minorities are always the victims. This itself is racism, anti-Chinese racism to be precise. The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two. Here’s another one:

> > > > Recent incidents have again renewed the call for Singaporeans to forget their race but only recognise their nationality. Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race.. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

The video shows the man rings the bell only for a short while. That’s probably because of the gong. Normally, he must have rung it too long and too frequently to drive his neighbors crazy. Indian edited media like the ST and Todayonline report the case as a Chinese disturbing an Indian performing his religious routine. Chinese woman is assumed to be at fault.

As she left her seat to give her speech at the podium, the Indian male stretched his arm across the back of her seat. Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended. If an Indian dare to do this to a Chinese female MP in full public view, what would Indians not do to ordinary Chinese females in ordinary circumstances?

Many of these cases happen where construction works are on-going or have recently finished. Those workers are mostly South-Asians, mostly Indians. Their modus operandi is simple. While at work, look out for quiet spots around the area. After work, or on rest days, return to molest Chinese girls at those spots..

He is highlighting the very serious issue of anti-Chinese sexism and racism. He should be commended.

For the Chinese, being a victim of sexist and racist crimes committed by the racial minorities against them is only half the story. The other half is worse. After their complaints go public, they will face further harassment and assaults by the racial minorities. These are not carried out by random individual nor are they spontaneous. They are carried out in a well organised and orchestrated manner. One method is to provoke you to make racist remarks against racial minorities. This has not only happened to Beow Tan. It has happened to the Chinese preys of Indians sexists and racists mentioned earlier. It will happen to any Chinese whose dispute with the racial minorities become public.

Slight incidents involving Chinese and non-Chinese are turned from a molehill into a mountain, with the Chinese always found to be at fault and facing the consequences, such as investigation by police, investigation by workplace authority and finally, losing their jobs. This is encouraging the racial minorities to cry racism at the slightest incident. Ask ourselves this: if the MP has not been a Chinese, would there have been an issue?

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

It depends on whether Singapore policy makers will switch giant from US to China. As India rises, it too would want to exert its power on Singapore. Lee Kuan Yew, founder of modern Singapore and its first PM, had once mentioned that in future China and India would both compete for dominant influence over Singapore. Has that future arrived?

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

He is only concerned about stamping his Indianness on his neighbors. The bell he uses sounds too loud and irritating. Again the video is misleading. From the angle of view, it must have been taken by someone from the Indian’s residential unit. The video shows the man rings the bell only for a short while. That’s probably because of the gong. Normally, he must have rung it too long and too frequently to drive his neighbors crazy. Indian edited media like the ST and Todayonline report the case as a Chinese disturbing an Indian performing his religious routine. Chinese woman is assumed to be at fault. She is being investigated by police. Maybe its the IMH for her too.

> > > >
> > > > 5. It not just ordinary people. Even high-ranking Chinese females are not spared. During one official event, a Chinese female MP was seated beside an Indian male on stage. As she left her seat to give her speech at the podium, the Indian male stretched his arm across the back of her seat. Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended. If an Indian dare to do this to a Chinese female MP in full public view, what would Indians not do to ordinary Chinese females in ordinary circumstances?
> > > >
> > > > 6. There are many unsolved/unreported cases of Indian males molesting Chinese females. There are many large notice boards, set up by the police, asking for witnesses. Many of these cases happen where construction works are on-going or have recently finished. Those workers are mostly South-Asians, mostly Indians. Their modus operandi is simple. While at work, look out for quiet spots around the area. After work, or on rest days, return to molest Chinese girls at those spots..

Its a fact that Indian males have a tendency to prey on Chinese females. Singaporeans, especially Chinese, should appreciate what this Chinese guy has said and done in public. He is highlighting the very serious issue of anti-Chinese sexism and racism. He should be commended. Instead he is turned into a pariah while the half-Indian is turned into “a hero who fights against Chinese racism”.

They pestered her until she had to report them to the police and sought more than one MPs’ help. Instead of the matter ending there, it was the beginning of her nightmare. For the next 7 to 8 years, she was harassed and assaulted by Malay strangers. She had made many police reports on the attacks. Her experiences make her suspicious of Malays. She developed a phobia for Malays, especially when they are present in groups around or near to her.
> > > >
> > > > Based on her past experiences, one can conclude that Beow Tan is one poor Chinese victim of organised harassment and assaults by anti-Chinese Malay racists. She deserves all the support and sympathy she can get. She also deserves protections from the authority. Instead, she lost her job and was referred to the IMH. Is this fair?
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > The case of Beow Tan reveals something sinister about the racial minorities in Singapore. For the Chinese, being a victim of sexist and racist crimes committed by the racial minorities against them is only half the story. The other half is worse. After their complaints go public, they will face further harassment and assaults by the racial minorities. These are not carried out by random individual nor are they spontaneous. They are carried out in a well organised and orchestrated manner. One method is to provoke you to make racist remarks against racial minorities. This has not only happened to Beow Tan. It has happened to the Chinese preys of Indians sexists and racists mentioned earlier. It will happen to any Chinese whose dispute with the racial minorities become public. It will happen to the Chinese woman beating the gong. It will happen to the Chinese guy who warn the Indian against preying on Chinese woman. Of course I too will not be spared.

And its edited by the guy who publicise the video. The half-Indian guy could have retaliated strongly with racist remarks against Chinese but they were all edited out.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

It depends on whether Singapore policy makers will switch giant from US to China. As India rises, it too would want to exert its power on Singapore. Lee Kuan Yew, founder of modern Singapore and its first PM, had once mentioned that in future China and India would both compete for dominant influence over Singapore. Has that future arrived?

The PAP's drop of about 9% of votes from the last election and its lost in Sengkang.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

Its all because the government has been too lax when it comes to Indians.

The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two.

Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

He is only concerned about stamping his Indianness on his neighbors. The bell he uses sounds too loud and irritating. Again the video is misleading. From the angle of view, it must have been taken by someone from the Indian’s residential unit. The video shows the man rings the bell only for a short while. That’s probably because of the gong. Normally, he must have rung it too long and too frequently to drive his neighbors crazy. Indian edited media like the ST and Todayonline report the case as a Chinese disturbing an Indian performing his religious routine. Chinese woman is assumed to be at fault. She is being investigated by police. Maybe its the IMH for her too.

> > > > > > The Chinese guy was concerned that an Indian guy might be preying on a Chinese girl. He is being protective of Chinese girls. Perhaps he has known of cases of Indians preying on Chinese girls. And there are plenty of such cases. Just to mention a few.

> > > > > >
> > > > > > 5. It not just ordinary people. Even high-ranking Chinese females are not spared. During one official event, a Chinese female MP was seated beside an Indian male on stage. As she left her seat to give her speech at the podium, the Indian male stretched his arm across the back of her seat.. Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended. If an Indian dare to do this to a Chinese female MP in full public view, what would Indians not do to ordinary Chinese females in ordinary circumstances?
> > > > > >
> > > > > > 6. There are many unsolved/unreported cases of Indian males molesting Chinese females. There are many large notice boards, set up by the police, asking for witnesses. Many of these cases happen where construction works are on-going or have recently finished. Those workers are mostly South-Asians, mostly Indians. Their modus operandi is simple. While at work, look out for quiet spots around the area. After work, or on rest days, return to molest Chinese girls at those spots..

> > > > > > I have listed only 7 of many more cases. They are not just about sexism but racism. How often do we hear about Indians molesting and raping their own kind? Its a fact that Indian males have a tendency to prey on Chinese females. Singaporeans, especially Chinese, should appreciate what this Chinese guy has said and done in public. He is highlighting the very serious issue of anti-Chinese sexism and racism. He should be commended. Instead he is turned into a pariah while the half-Indian is turned into “a hero who fights against Chinese racism”.

They pestered her until she had to report them to the police and sought more than one MPs’ help. Instead of the matter ending there, it was the beginning of her nightmare. For the next 7 to 8 years, she was harassed and assaulted by Malay strangers. She had made many police reports on the attacks. Her experiences make her suspicious of Malays. She developed a phobia for Malays, especially when they are present in groups around or near to her.
> > > > > >
> > > > > > Based on her past experiences, one can conclude that Beow Tan is one poor Chinese victim of organised harassment and assaults by anti-Chinese Malay racists. She deserves all the support and sympathy she can get. She also deserves protections from the authority. Instead, she lost her job and was referred to the IMH. Is this fair?

For the Chinese, being a victim of sexist and racist crimes committed by the racial minorities against them is only half the story. The other half is worse. After their complaints go public, they will face further harassment and assaults by the racial minorities. These are not carried out by random individual nor are they spontaneous. They are carried out in a well organised and orchestrated manner. One method is to provoke you to make racist remarks against racial minorities. This has not only happened to Beow Tan. It has happened to the Chinese preys of Indians sexists and racists mentioned earlier. It will happen to any Chinese whose dispute with the racial minorities become public. It will happen to the Chinese woman beating the gong. It will happen to the Chinese guy who warn the Indian against preying on Chinese woman. Of course I too will not be spared.

And its edited by the guy who publicise the video. The half-Indian guy could have retaliated strongly with racist remarks against Chinese but they were all edited out.

The MSM and social media would play it up until those Chinese had to apologise. But one case seemed special. It happened like this. In one UOB Annual D&D celebration, some Chinese staffs had their faces painted black, as black as black ink. There was a furore by the minorities, esp. Indians, about “racist Chinese”. Those in the business will know that large company Annual D&D is managed by event management company. An Indian event management company was behind that UOB Annual D&D. It was an Indian event manager who had arranged for the Chinese to have their faces painted black. That’s why the issue was not played up and no one had to apologise for it. Because an Indian was behind it. If it were to be a Chinese, it would have been made into a big issue He would be made to apologise publicly. That would not be sufficient. He would be charged in court, probably be referred to the IMH. Up to today, ignorant anti-Chinese Indians would bring up this issue to accuse Chinese of racism.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

It depends on whether Singapore policy makers will switch giant from US to China. As India rises, it too would want to exert its power on Singapore. Lee Kuan Yew, founder of modern Singapore and its first PM, had once mentioned that in future China and India would both compete for dominant influence over Singapore. Has that future arrived?

The PAP's drop of about 9% of votes from the last election and its lost in Sengkang.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

This is so racially biased against the Chinese. The racial minorities are not so innocent when it comes to racism. There are many anti-Chinese racists among the non-Chinese in Singapore. There are many incidents to prove this. Let’s look at only two of them.

Let’s deal with objectively, “regardless of race, language or religion”. Singapore was on its way to full recovery from the pandemic when it was hit by a new wave of infections. Its all because the government has been too lax when it comes to Indians. If only the government had cut-off travels from India as early as it did for China during the first wave.The government should screen carefully everyone coming out of India or been to India ,without fear of being labeled “racist”.
> > > > > > > > Even when we are in the midst of a pandemic, we are starting a racial squabble. MSM, social media, Ministers, Opposition Leader and now, even the President, are involved. They all point to one view: In Singapore, the Chinese majority is the perpetrator of racism and the racial minorities are always the victims. This itself is racism, anti-Chinese racism to be precise. The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two. Here’s another one:

> > > > > > > >
> > > > > > > > Recent incidents have again renewed the call for Singaporeans to forget their race but only recognise their nationality. Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

Normally, he must have rung it too long and too frequently to drive his neighbors crazy. Indian edited media like the ST and Todayonline report the case as a Chinese disturbing an Indian performing his religious routine. Chinese woman is assumed to be at fault.

As she left her seat to give her speech at the podium, the Indian male stretched his arm across the back of her seat. Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended. If an Indian dare to do this to a Chinese female MP in full public view, what would Indians not do to ordinary Chinese females in ordinary circumstances?
> > > > > > >

Many of these cases happen where construction works are on-going or have recently finished. Those workers are mostly South-Asians, mostly Indians. Their modus operandi is simple. While at work, look out for quiet spots around the area. After work, or on rest days, return to molest Chinese girls at those spots..

He is highlighting the very serious issue of anti-Chinese sexism and racism. He should be commended. Instead he is turned into a pariah while the half-Indian is turned into “a hero who fights against Chinese racism”.

For the next 7 to 8 years, she was harassed and assaulted by Malay strangers. She had made many police reports on the attacks. Her experiences make her suspicious of Malays. She developed a phobia for Malays, especially when they are present in groups around or near to her.

For the Chinese, being a victim of sexist and racist crimes committed by the racial minorities against them is only half the story. The other half is worse.

They are carried out in a well organised and orchestrated manner. One method is to provoke you to make racist remarks against racial minorities. This has not only happened to Beow Tan. It has happened to the Chinese preys of Indians sexists and racists mentioned earlier. It will happen to any Chinese whose dispute with the racial minorities become public.

The MSM and social media would play it up until those Chinese had to apologise. But one case seemed special. It happened like this. In one UOB Annual D&D celebration, some Chinese staffs had their faces painted black, as black as black ink. There was a furore by the minorities, esp. Indians, about “racist Chinese”. Those in the business will know that large company Annual D&D is managed by event management company. An Indian event management company was behind that UOB Annual D&D. It was an Indian event manager who had arranged for the Chinese to have their faces painted black. That’s why the issue was not played up and no one had to apologise for it. Because an Indian was behind it. If it were to be a Chinese, it would have been made into a big issue He would be made to apologise publicly. That would not be sufficient. He would be charged in court, probably be referred to the IMH. Up to today, ignorant anti-Chinese Indians would bring up this issue to accuse Chinese of racism.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

Why is there no Muslims concern about the lack of religious equality or about the ideals of diversity and inclusiveness in these areas? Its because Muslim males are not ruled out in these areas.

There are many incidents to prove this. Let’s look at only two of them.

Let’s deal with objectively, “regardless of race, language or religion”. Singapore was on its way to full recovery from the pandemic when it was hit by a new wave of infections. Its all because the government has been too lax when it comes to Indians. If only the government had cut-off travels from India as early as it did for China during the first wave.The government should screen carefully everyone coming out of India or been to India ,without fear of being labeled “racist”.
> > > > > > > > > Even when we are in the midst of a pandemic, we are starting a racial squabble. MSM, social media, Ministers, Opposition Leader and now, even the President, are involved. They all point to one view: In Singapore, the Chinese majority is the perpetrator of racism and the racial minorities are always the victims. This itself is racism, anti-Chinese racism to be precise. The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two. Here’s another one:

> > > > > > > > > Recent incidents have again renewed the call for Singaporeans to forget their race but only recognise their nationality. Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

Indian edited media like the ST and Todayonline report the case as a Chinese disturbing an Indian performing his religious routine. Chinese woman is assumed to be at fault.

Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended. If an Indian dare to do this to a Chinese female MP in full public view, what would Indians not do to ordinary Chinese females in ordinary circumstances?

He is highlighting the very serious issue of anti-Chinese sexism and racism. He should be commended.

For the next 7 to 8 years, she was harassed and assaulted by Malay strangers. She had made many police reports on the attacks. Her experiences make her suspicious of Malays. She developed a phobia for Malays, especially when they are present in groups around or near to her.

For the Chinese, being a victim of sexist and racist crimes committed by the racial minorities against them is only half the story. The other half is worse. After their complaints go public, they will face further harassment and assaults by the racial minorities. These are not carried out by random individual nor are they spontaneous. They are carried out in a well organised and orchestrated manner. One method is to provoke you to make racist remarks against racial minorities. This has not only happened to Beow Tan. It has happened to the Chinese preys of Indians sexists and racists mentioned earlier. It will happen to any Chinese whose dispute with the racial minorities become public.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

It depends on whether Singapore policy makers will switch giant from US to China. As India rises, it too would want to exert its power on Singapore. Lee Kuan Yew, founder of modern Singapore and its first PM, had once mentioned that in future China and India would both compete for dominant influence over Singapore. Has that future arrived?

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

There are many incidents to prove this. Let’s look at only two of them.

Let’s deal with objectively, “regardless of race, language or religion”. Singapore was on its way to full recovery from the pandemic when it was hit by a new wave of infections. Its all because the government has been too lax when it comes to Indians. If only the government had cut-off travels from India as early as it did for China during the first wave.The government should screen carefully everyone coming out of India or been to India ,without fear of being labeled “racist”.
> > > > > > > > > > Even when we are in the midst of a pandemic, we are starting a racial squabble. MSM, social media, Ministers, Opposition Leader and now, even the President, are involved. They all point to one view: In Singapore, the Chinese majority is the perpetrator of racism and the racial minorities are always the victims. This itself is racism, anti-Chinese racism to be precise. The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two. Here’s another one:

> > > > > > > > > > Recent incidents have again renewed the call for Singaporeans to forget their race but only recognise their nationality. Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

Indian edited media like the ST and Todayonline report the case as a Chinese disturbing an Indian performing his religious routine. Chinese woman is assumed to be at fault.

Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended.

Those in the business will know that large company Annual D&D is managed by event management company. An Indian event management company was behind that UOB Annual D&D. It was an Indian event manager who had arranged for the Chinese to have their faces painted black. That’s why the issue was not played up and no one had to apologise for it.

The proportion of the Malays in the racial composition is increasing due to its selective immigration policy favoring Malays and Muslims from all over the world, increasing the dominance of Malays/Muslims.

Moreover, would the Malays in the region sit by to watch this happen to their fellow Malays in SG? The link between SG Malays and those in the region remain close and strong. SG Malays can cross over to Malay-supreme Malaysia on a daily basis. Its just a walk across the causeway.

Pragmatism dictates the Westernisation and Anglicisation of Singapore even after its independence from British colonialism. These have ensured its survival and aided its progress. This has also resulted in the desinisation of Chinese-majority Singapore, much to the delight of the racial minorities. Such pragmatism has become the idealism of the racial minorities. They believe that the Westernisation and Anglicisation of Singapore should be the permanent ideal for a multi-racial Singapore because only it can give them racial fairness, equality and security. This does not augur well for the future of Singapore.

Even if China were to produce the best defence equipment, the racial minorities will object to Singapore purchasing them because they would feel threatened.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc..

> > Even when we are in the midst of a pandemic, we are starting a racial squabble. MSM, social media, Ministers, Opposition Leader and now, even the President, are involved. They all point to one view: In Singapore, the Chinese majority is the perpetrator of racism and the racial minorities are always the victims. This itself is racism, anti-Chinese racism to be precise. The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two. Here’s another one:

> > Recent incidents have again renewed the call for Singaporeans to forget their race but only recognise their nationality. Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

The bell he uses sounds too loud and irritating. Again the video is misleading. From the angle of view, it must have been taken by someone from the Indian’s residential unit. The video shows the man rings the bell only for a short while. That’s probably because of the gong. Normally, he must have rung it too long and too frequently to drive his neighbors crazy. Indian edited media like the ST and Todayonline report the case as a Chinese disturbing an Indian performing his religious routine. Chinese woman is assumed to be at fault.

> 5. It not just ordinary people. Even high-ranking Chinese females are not spared. During one official event, a Chinese female MP was seated beside an Indian male on stage. As she left her seat to give her speech at the podium, the Indian male stretched his arm across the back of her seat. Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended. If an Indian dare to do this to a Chinese female MP in full public view, what would Indians not do to ordinary Chinese females in ordinary circumstances?

Many of these cases happen where construction works are on-going or have recently finished. Those workers are mostly South-Asians, mostly Indians. Their modus operandi is simple. While at work, look out for quiet spots around the area. After work, or on rest days, return to molest Chinese girls at those spots..

> 7. Chinese girls raped by Indians. Can happen on the the girl’s first date with an Indian guy.

> I have listed only 7 of many more cases. They are not just about sexism but racism. How often do we hear about Indians molesting and raping their own kind? Its a fact that Indian males have a tendency to prey on Chinese females. Singaporeans, especially Chinese, should appreciate what this Chinese guy has said and done in public. He is highlighting the very serious issue of anti-Chinese sexism and racism. He should be commended. Instead he is turned into a pariah while the half-Indian is turned into “a hero who fights against Chinese racism”.

> It started some years ago when Beow Tan had a Malay family as neighbor. The Malay family coerced Beow Tan to be married to their son. She declined. They pestered her until she had to report them to the police and sought more than one MPs’ help. Instead of the matter ending there, it was the beginning of her nightmare. For the next 7 to 8 years, she was harassed and assaulted by Malay strangers. She had made many police reports on the attacks. Her experiences make her suspicious of Malays. She developed a phobia for Malays, especially when they are present in groups around or near to her.
>
> Based on her past experiences, one can conclude that Beow Tan is one poor Chinese victim of organised harassment and assaults by anti-Chinese Malay racists. She deserves all the support and sympathy she can get. She also deserves protections from the authority. Instead, she lost her job and was referred to the IMH. Is this fair?
>

> The case of Beow Tan reveals something sinister about the racial minorities in Singapore. For the Chinese, being a victim of sexist and racist crimes committed by the racial minorities against them is only half the story. The other half is worse. After their complaints go public, they will face further harassment and assaults by the racial minorities. These are not carried out by random individual nor are they spontaneous. They are carried out in a well organised and orchestrated manner. One method is to provoke you to make racist remarks against racial minorities. This has not only happened to Beow Tan. It has happened to the Chinese preys of Indians sexists and racists mentioned earlier. It will happen to any Chinese whose dispute with the racial minorities become public. It will happen to the Chinese woman beating the gong. It will happen to the Chinese guy who warn the Indian against preying on Chinese woman. Of course I too will not be spared.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc..

This is so racially biased against the Chinese. The racial minorities are not so innocent when it comes to racism. There are many anti-Chinese racists among the non-Chinese in Singapore. There are many incidents to prove this. Let’s look at only two of them.

Singapore was on its way to full recovery from the pandemic when it was hit by a new wave of infections. Its all because the government has been too lax when it comes to Indians. If only the government had cut-off travels from India as early as it did for China during the first wave.The government should screen carefully everyone coming out of India or been to India ,without fear of being labeled “racist”.
> > > Even when we are in the midst of a pandemic, we are starting a racial squabble. MSM, social media, Ministers, Opposition Leader and now, even the President, are involved. They all point to one view: In Singapore, the Chinese majority is the perpetrator of racism and the racial minorities are always the victims. This itself is racism, anti-Chinese racism to be precise.. The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two. Here’s another one:

> > > Recent incidents have again renewed the call for Singaporeans to forget their race but only recognise their nationality. Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race.. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

The video shows the man rings the bell only for a short while. That’s probably because of the gong. Normally, he must have rung it too long and too frequently to drive his neighbors crazy. Indian edited media like the ST and Todayonline report the case as a Chinese disturbing an Indian performing his religious routine. Chinese woman is assumed to be at fault.

Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended. If an Indian dare to do this to a Chinese female MP in full public view, what would Indians not do to ordinary Chinese females in ordinary circumstances?

Many of these cases happen where construction works are on-going or have recently finished. Those workers are mostly South-Asians, mostly Indians. Their modus operandi is simple. While at work, look out for quiet spots around the area. After work, or on rest days, return to molest Chinese girls at those spots..

He is highlighting the very serious issue of anti-Chinese sexism and racism. He should be commended.

For the Chinese, being a victim of sexist and racist crimes committed by the racial minorities against them is only half the story. The other half is worse.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

Where is the racism? Now this guy with a Chinese girlfriend is being made into an Indian hero who fights against Chinese racism, though he is only half-Indian. Police reports made, actions taken, with Minister Shanmugam speaking for the victims.
> > > >
> > > > That’s enough. All these would lead people to believe that in Singapore, only the Chinese are racists, the other races are always their victims. This is so racially biased against the Chinese. The racial minorities are not so innocent when it comes to racism. There are many anti-Chinese racists among the non-Chinese in Singapore. There are many incidents to prove this. Let’s look at only two of them.

> > > >
> > > > Now is not the time to stir up racial troubles. The new variant of a virus originating in India is still spreading. Let’s deal with objectively, “regardless of race, language or religion”. Singapore was on its way to full recovery from the pandemic when it was hit by a new wave of infections. Its all because the government has been too lax when it comes to Indians. If only the government had cut-off travels from India as early as it did for China during the first wave.The government should screen carefully everyone coming out of India or been to India ,without fear of being labeled “racist”.
> > > Even when we are in the midst of a pandemic, we are starting a racial squabble. MSM, social media, Ministers, Opposition Leader and now, even the President, are involved. They all point to one view: In Singapore, the Chinese majority is the perpetrator of racism and the racial minorities are always the victims. This itself is racism, anti-Chinese racism to be precise.. The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two. Here’s another one:

> > >

> > >
> > > Recent incidents have again renewed the call for Singaporeans to forget their race but only recognise their nationality. Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race.. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

The bell he uses sounds too loud and irritating. Again the video is misleading. From the angle of view, it must have been taken by someone from the Indian’s residential unit. The video shows the man rings the bell only for a short while. That’s probably because of the gong. Normally, he must have rung it too long and too frequently to drive his neighbors crazy. Indian edited media like the ST and Todayonline report the case as a Chinese disturbing an Indian performing his religious routine. Chinese woman is assumed to be at fault. She is being investigated by police. Maybe its the IMH for her too.

> > 5. It not just ordinary people. Even high-ranking Chinese females are not spared. During one official event, a Chinese female MP was seated beside an Indian male on stage. As she left her seat to give her speech at the podium, the Indian male stretched his arm across the back of her seat. Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended. If an Indian dare to do this to a Chinese female MP in full public view, what would Indians not do to ordinary Chinese females in ordinary circumstances?
> >
> > 6. There are many unsolved/unreported cases of Indian males molesting Chinese females. There are many large notice boards, set up by the police, asking for witnesses. Many of these cases happen where construction works are on-going or have recently finished. Those workers are mostly South-Asians, mostly Indians. Their modus operandi is simple. While at work, look out for quiet spots around the area. After work, or on rest days, return to molest Chinese girls at those spots..

Its a fact that Indian males have a tendency to prey on Chinese females. Singaporeans, especially Chinese, should appreciate what this Chinese guy has said and done in public. He is highlighting the very serious issue of anti-Chinese sexism and racism. He should be commended. Instead he is turned into a pariah while the half-Indian is turned into “a hero who fights against Chinese racism”.

For the next 7 to 8 years, she was harassed and assaulted by Malay strangers. She had made many police reports on the attacks. Her experiences make her suspicious of Malays. She developed a phobia for Malays, especially when they are present in groups around or near to her.

> > The case of Beow Tan reveals something sinister about the racial minorities in Singapore. For the Chinese, being a victim of sexist and racist crimes committed by the racial minorities against them is only half the story. The other half is worse. After their complaints go public, they will face further harassment and assaults by the racial minorities. These are not carried out by random individual nor are they spontaneous. They are carried out in a well organised and orchestrated manner. One method is to provoke you to make racist remarks against racial minorities. This has not only happened to Beow Tan. It has happened to the Chinese preys of Indians sexists and racists mentioned earlier. It will happen to any Chinese whose dispute with the racial minorities become public. It will happen to the Chinese woman beating the gong. It will happen to the Chinese guy who warn the Indian against preying on Chinese woman. Of course I too will not be spared.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

It depends on whether Singapore policy makers will switch giant from US to China. As India rises, it too would want to exert its power on Singapore. Lee Kuan Yew, founder of modern Singapore and its first PM, had once mentioned that in future China and India would both compete for dominant influence over Singapore. Has that future arrived?

The PAP's drop of about 9% of votes from the last election and its lost in Sengkang.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

They all point to one view: In Singapore, the Chinese majority is the perpetrator of racism and the racial minorities are always the victims. This itself is racism, anti-Chinese racism to be precise. The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two.

Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race.. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended.

For the Chinese, being a victim of sexist and racist crimes committed by the racial minorities against them is only half the story. The other half is worse. After their complaints go public, they will face further harassment and assaults by the racial minorities. These are not carried out by random individual nor are they spontaneous. They are carried out in a well organised and orchestrated manner. One method is to provoke you to make racist remarks against racial minorities. This has not only happened to Beow Tan. It has happened to the Chinese preys of Indians sexists and racists mentioned earlier. It will happen to any Chinese whose dispute with the racial minorities become public. It will happen to the Chinese woman beating the gong. It will happen to the Chinese guy who warn the Indian against preying on Chinese woman. Of course I too will not be spared.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc..

This is so racially biased against the Chinese. The racial minorities are not so innocent when it comes to racism. There are many anti-Chinese racists among the non-Chinese in Singapore. There are many incidents to prove this. Let’s look at only two of them.

Singapore was on its way to full recovery from the pandemic when it was hit by a new wave of infections. Its all because the government has been too lax when it comes to Indians. If only the government had cut-off travels from India as early as it did for China during the first wave.The government should screen carefully everyone coming out of India or been to India ,without fear of being labeled “racist”.
> > > Even when we are in the midst of a pandemic, we are starting a racial squabble. MSM, social media, Ministers, Opposition Leader and now, even the President, are involved. They all point to one view: In Singapore, the Chinese majority is the perpetrator of racism and the racial minorities are always the victims. This itself is racism, anti-Chinese racism to be precise.. The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two. Here’s another one:

> > > Recent incidents have again renewed the call for Singaporeans to forget their race but only recognise their nationality. Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race.. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

The video shows the man rings the bell only for a short while. That’s probably because of the gong. Normally, he must have rung it too long and too frequently to drive his neighbors crazy. Indian edited media like the ST and Todayonline report the case as a Chinese disturbing an Indian performing his religious routine. Chinese woman is assumed to be at fault.

Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended. If an Indian dare to do this to a Chinese female MP in full public view, what would Indians not do to ordinary Chinese females in ordinary circumstances?

For the Chinese, being a victim of sexist and racist crimes committed by the racial minorities against them is only half the story. The other half is worse.

This has evolved according to its basic strategy for survival. It has survied by standing on the shoulders of giants. First, that of its colonial master the British. As the power and influence of Britain ebbed and those of the Americans rose, Singapore switched giant, from Britain to US. The switch was made easy by both the US and Britain being English-speaking Western nations. After decades of standing on the shoulders of Britain and the US, despite being located in South East Asia with an Asian population, Singapore is thoroughly Westernised, more so than when it was a British colony. The US has been increasing its power and influence in Singapore. Economically and militarily, Singapore is heavily dependent on the US. Its foreign relationship is conducted as an ally of the US. Its society has become Westernised in general, Americanised in particular.

Under the influence of Western values, Singaporeans, especially the young, desire a liberal political system similar to those in the West; multi-party, with strong oppositions. Singapore adopted the British Parliamentary democratic system from its pass colonial master, Britain. Many former British colonies, from Asia to Africa, do likewise. The same system has not worked well for many of them. How many young Singaporeans know about that? They have not suffered from the aberrations of the system. They have not experienced frequent changes of government, short-lived government, nation in political gridlock, ugly fights in Parliament, military takeover of government, etc.. They do not realise that Singapore, due to its small size, is too fragile to experience such political disorder, even once.

Police reports made, actions taken, with Minister Shanmugam speaking for the victims.
> > > > >
> > > > > That’s enough. All these would lead people to believe that in Singapore, only the Chinese are racists, the other races are always their victims. This is so racially biased against the Chinese. The racial minorities are not so innocent when it comes to racism. There are many anti-Chinese racists among the non-Chinese in Singapore. There are many incidents to prove this. Let’s look at only two of them.

> > > > >
> > > > > Now is not the time to stir up racial troubles. The new variant of a virus originating in India is still spreading. Let’s deal with objectively, “regardless of race, language or religion”. Singapore was on its way to full recovery from the pandemic when it was hit by a new wave of infections. Its all because the government has been too lax when it comes to Indians. If only the government had cut-off travels from India as early as it did for China during the first wave.The government should screen carefully everyone coming out of India or been to India ,without fear of being labeled “racist”.
> > > > Even when we are in the midst of a pandemic, we are starting a racial squabble. MSM, social media, Ministers, Opposition Leader and now, even the President, are involved. They all point to one view: In Singapore, the Chinese majority is the perpetrator of racism and the racial minorities are always the victims. This itself is racism, anti-Chinese racism to be precise. The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two. Here’s another one:

> > > >
> > > > The media is just as guilty. Racially derogatory terms such as ‘cheena’ and ‘pigs’ have been used to refer to the Chinese in the media.
> > > >
> > > > Recent incidents have again renewed the call for Singaporeans to forget their race but only recognise their nationality. Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities, especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want everyone to forget about race.. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

The bell he uses sounds too loud and irritating. Again the video is misleading. From the angle of view, it must have been taken by someone from the Indian’s residential unit. The video shows the man rings the bell only for a short while. That’s probably because of the gong. Normally, he must have rung it too long and too frequently to drive his neighbors crazy. Indian edited media like the ST and Todayonline report the case as a Chinese disturbing an Indian performing his religious routine. Chinese woman is assumed to be at fault. She is being investigated by police. Maybe its the IMH for her too.

> > >
> > > 5. It not just ordinary people. Even high-ranking Chinese females are not spared. During one official event, a Chinese female MP was seated beside an Indian male on stage. As she left her seat to give her speech at the podium, the Indian male stretched his arm across the back of her seat. Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended. If an Indian dare to do this to a Chinese female MP in full public view, what would Indians not do to ordinary Chinese females in ordinary circumstances?
> > >
> > > 6. There are many unsolved/unreported cases of Indian males molesting Chinese females. There are many large notice boards, set up by the police, asking for witnesses. Many of these cases happen where construction works are on-going or have recently finished. Those workers are mostly South-Asians, mostly Indians. Their modus operandi is simple. While at work, look out for quiet spots around the area. After work, or on rest days, return to molest Chinese girls at those spots..

> > > I have listed only 7 of many more cases. They are not just about sexism but racism. How often do we hear about Indians molesting and raping their own kind? Its a fact that Indian males have a tendency to prey on Chinese females. Singaporeans, especially Chinese, should appreciate what this Chinese guy has said and done in public. He is highlighting the very serious issue of anti-Chinese sexism and racism. He should be commended. Instead he is turned into a pariah while the half-Indian is turned into “a hero who fights against Chinese racism”.

They pestered her until she had to report them to the police and sought more than one MPs’ help. Instead of the matter ending there, it was the beginning of her nightmare. For the next 7 to 8 years, she was harassed and assaulted by Malay strangers. She had made many police reports on the attacks. Her experiences make her suspicious of Malays. She developed a phobia for Malays, especially when they are present in groups around or near to her.
> > >
> > > Based on her past experiences, one can conclude that Beow Tan is one poor Chinese victim of organised harassment and assaults by anti-Chinese Malay racists. She deserves all the support and sympathy she can get. She also deserves protections from the authority. Instead, she lost her job and was referred to the IMH. Is this fair?
> > >
> > >
> > > The case of Beow Tan reveals something sinister about the racial minorities in Singapore. For the Chinese, being a victim of sexist and racist crimes committed by the racial minorities against them is only half the story. The other half is worse. After their complaints go public, they will face further harassment and assaults by the racial minorities. These are not carried out by random individual nor are they spontaneous. They are carried out in a well organised and orchestrated manner. One method is to provoke you to make racist remarks against racial minorities. This has not only happened to Beow Tan. It has happened to the Chinese preys of Indians sexists and racists mentioned earlier. It will happen to any Chinese whose dispute with the racial minorities become public. It will happen to the Chinese woman beating the gong. It will happen to the Chinese guy who warn the Indian against preying on Chinese woman. Of course I too will not be spared.

> That may be true in other parts of the world, where the majority dominants. In the case of Singapore, the Chinese majority is just another race among the others. It bears no dominance. The racial minorities have neither fear nor respect for the Chinese majority. In Singapore, the Chinese majority often ends up as victims of crimes committed by the racial minorities, from insults, assaults, molests to rapes and murders. Even those in high offices are not spared. SG's Chinese officials have been publicly insulted with profanities by the racial minorities.

> Racial sensitivities should work both ways. The racial minorities should be sensitive to and conscious of the needs of the racial majority too.

> At least in one policy, the government has insensitively favored the need of a racial minority over that of the Chinese majority. This is what happened. It started off with MacDonald handing out toys of pig to celebrate the Year of the Pig in the Chinese zodiac calendar. Malay Muslims protested even though they didn't patronise those fast food joints since the food served were not halal. Now, succumbing to unreasonable demands from the Muslims, not only are those pig toys gone, pork is completely off the menu in Singapore's Western fast food. Today, most Western fast foods in Singapore have become halal. That means not only no pork but the food has to be prepared in the Islamic way, preferably by Muslims. Muslims in Singapore are mostly Malays. They use their hands instead of toilet papers to clean themselves up after they shit. Now Western fast foods in Singapore are truly "finger licking good", as advertised. Singapore being a cosmopolitan city means that those foods are also served to people from many parts of the world who visit Singapore.

> As for the Indians, they should do something about their body odor. Its unbearable especially in crowded places. But the Indians are sticking to their stinks by claiming that this makes them uniquely Indians. That's only when they are in Singapore though. In the West, Indians make the efforts to smell good. This says much about what they think of the Chinese majority in Singapore.
