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's not a single post-election analysis based on race. A good one would be how votes for the four major races are distributed among the two main contenders PAP and WP. Then compare the distribution of this election with the one in 2015. They may tell a lot about how race affects votes, if at all.

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.

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.

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.

He believed that Chinese were physically and mentally superior to Indians and Malays. He tried to make Chinese Singaporeans more Chinese, by encouraging people to speak Mandarin and insisting all ethnic Chinese study it at school (though almost all their parents spoke other dialects as their first language). The government opened numerous elite Chinese-medium schools, which were given much more government funding than other public schools. Mr Lee’s Sinicisation programme was intended for ethnic Chinese, but minorities felt pressure to espouse “Chinese” values too, according to Michael Barr, a historian of Singapore.”

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. The factors commonly taken into considerations are age, race, younger and more educated voters, government policies, incumbent treatment of the Opposition during the election campaign, etc..

It can easily sway voters either way, for or against it(unintentionally).

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. 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”.

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.

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.

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..

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.

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 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.

The government opened numerous elite Chinese-medium schools, which were given much more government funding than other public schools. Mr Lee’s Sinicisation programme was intended for ethnic Chinese, but minorities felt pressure to espouse “Chinese” values too, according to Michael Barr, a historian of Singapore.”

In 1963, under British arangement, Singapore and other British colonial territories of Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak were joined together to form Malaysia. Singapore left Malaysia, under mutual agreement, to become an independent nation in 1965.

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.

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:

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 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 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.

He tried to make Chinese Singaporeans more Chinese, by encouraging people to speak Mandarin and insisting all ethnic Chinese study it at school (though almost all their parents spoke other dialects as their first language). The government opened numerous elite Chinese-medium schools, which were given much more government funding than other public schools. Mr Lee’s Sinicisation programme was intended for ethnic Chinese, but minorities felt pressure to espouse “Chinese” values too, according to Michael Barr, a historian of Singapore..”

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.

It can easily sway voters either way, for or against it(unintentionally).

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. 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”.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

He tried to make Chinese Singaporeans more Chinese, by encouraging people to speak Mandarin and insisting all ethnic Chinese study it at school (though almost all their parents spoke other dialects as their first language). The government opened numerous elite Chinese-medium schools, which were given much more government funding than other public schools. Mr Lee’s Sinicisation programme was intended for ethnic Chinese, but minorities felt pressure to espouse “Chinese” values too, according to Michael Barr, a historian of Singapore.”

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?

It is also a political fallout from the world situation. India is more now more favored by the US than China. Indian economy is on the rise.

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:

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.

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.

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.

The government opened numerous elite Chinese-medium schools, which were given much more government funding than other public schools.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

> Summary of main points:
> Singapore needs talents from around the world.
> High availability of Indians.
> English-speaking talents preferred.
>
> Further report from ST.
> About a quarter of the 177,100 employment pass (EP) holders in Singapore hail from India, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng in Parliament on Tuesday (6 July).
>
> "The proportion of EP holders from India has increased from about one seventh in 2005 to about a quarter in 2020," said Dr Tan, who did not give specific numbers.
>
>
> Let's analyse the main points.
>
> 1. Great demand in IT and finance. Not enough locals.
> "We don't have enough locals to fill the jobs available. In the infocomm sector alone today, 6,000 jobs currently remain unfilled," said Dr Tan.
>
> Yet many of SG's ethnic Chinese graduates, are encouraged to become hawkers. Govt should go to hawker centers to recruit them for IT jobs.
>
>
> 2. Indians high availability.
> "India's talent have continued to look outwards. It is currently the largest country of origin for international migrants.
>
> Citing the January 2021 United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs report, Dr Tan noted that in 2020 alone, it accounted for 18 million international migrants, up by 10 million from 2000. India has also grown to become the second largest source of immigrants in the US, and the third largest in the UK."
>
> That's because India has no birth control. Indians are mating and breeding like pests, causing its population growth to go out of control. It's exploding. Adding to the population woe is that India is a poorly governed country. The number of Indians struggling to get the hell out of India is enormous. Singapore should not try to be a relief valve for India's population explosion, talents not withstanding. They can easily flood out the tiny island of Singapore.
>
>
> Quality is more important than availability. Can the "talents" from India be trusted? Those "talents" from India are second or third rate. The best opts to go to the West. India is notorious for massive cheating in exams and degree mills churning out fake degrees.
>
>
> More important than quality is suitability. Can they fit in well to SG's society, in terms of culture?
>
>
> English Language
> "There is no differentiation based on nationality: all work pass holders in Singapore have to meet the same criteria before they are allowed to enter the local labour market."
>
> That does not mean its equal and fair to all. The weighting placed on the English Language favors the Indians.
>
>
> Has the high influx of Indian "talents" been of help to Singapore's economy?
>
> "SG's economy has grown from 20B in 1970's to over 450B now."
>
> The economies of most countries in the world have grown during the same period. Those which have not are banana republics and failed states.
>
> For the past decades, Singapore's economy is best characterised by low growth rate of low single digit, under low interest rate. Moreover, the technological level of the economy has declined. From the promised high-tech knowledge-based economy, it has diverted to a low-tech service and risky finance economy. Instead of more intellectual science and technology, it's now more about human relationship skill, people- and gambling-oriented industries.
>
>
> Have Indians contributed to Singapore's economy? Of course. This would be true of other nationalities and ethnicity working in Singapore.
>
> The Indian diaspora has grown, especially in native English-speaking nations. But has its contribution to the economy of these places? In Europe, compare Germany and Britain. Non-English speaking Germany, which attracts much fewer Indians, have done better than Britain which is a magnet for Indians.
>
> The English speaking world, the Five Eyes for example, with huge influx of Indians, have done no better than China, which attracts few Indians.
>
>
> It's not just the workforce. It's happening throughout the whole population.
>
> Chinese proportion among SG's citizen has been in decline. From 76.9% in 2000 to below 76% in 2020. For resident population, its worse. The Chinese only makes up 74.3% of the residential population. The Indians proportions in both cases have increased. This trend in the ethnic composition of SG continues unabated.

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?

It can easily sway voters either way, for or against it(unintentionally).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The racial minorities have neither fear nor respect for the Chinese majority.

Even those in high offices are not spared. SG's Chinese officials have been publicly insulted with profanities by the racial minorities.

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.

> The races got along just fine until the 1980’s when an ethnic Indian, J.B. Jeyaretnam (JBJ), came into the political scene. His aggressive and abrasive style resulted in frequent clashes with the PAP-government led by LKY. During one particular Parliament session, LKY made a stinging personal remark against JBJ and his race. After this was widely reported in the news, it mustered the Indians to come to the support of JBJ. LKY was strongly criticised by the Indians. LKY tried to counter this by mustering Chinese support for himself. Not much was forthcoming. The political struggle before Independence had effectively destroyed Chinese politically. They were attacked as either Communist or Chauvinist. The result is Chinese political apathy, except for those in government.

> Indians took the lack of Chinese support for LKY as their victory over not only LKY but the Chinese race. Indian racism was there for all to see. Using the media where they were editors, they went on the offensive against the Chinese. Chinese-ness of Singapore, Chinese-majority rule in Singapore, were challenged. Chinese and Chinese culture were frequently disparaged while Indians and Indian culture were actively promoted. The Chinese Language was their favorite target. They wanted it disappeared from public space. So successful were the Indians in this that one Indian editor of a newspaper proudly boasted that “The pen is mightier than the sword”.

Indians only support good relations between India and Singapore. Trade and investment agreements with India are welcomed but those with China are criticised.

Most important of all, Indians try ways and means to increase the proportion of their race in the population.

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..

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.

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.

Adding to the population woe is that India is a poorly governed country. The number of Indians struggling to get the hell out of India is enormous. Singapore should not try to be a relief valve for India's population explosion, talents not withstanding. They can easily flood out the tiny island of Singapore.

Instead of more intellectual science and technology, it's now more about human relationship skill, people- and gambling-oriented industries.

It goes without having to say it that Singapore must be opened to the globalised world, and that means competing with the rest of the world, and for that we have to welcome foreign talents. Those are not the issues. The issue is this. Is Singapore getting the best talents that it can? What are its criteria for “talents”?

What calibre of a nation is India? Are we really getting talents? Singapore is supposed to be a nation steep on meritocracy, which form one of its governing principles. Yet why is this not practised when it come to selecting foreign talents? Why is it receiving “ Indian talents” in large numbers who have little or no merits in the world?

> CECA with India should rightly be questioned. Other countries are cautious about it. Look at Australia. After many years of negotiation, Australia has yet to sign a CECA with India. The OZs are wary of the people-to-people exchange clause. Perhaps they have seen what had happened to Singapore. They do not want Australia to be flooded with Indians. And Australia is an island of continental size!
>
> Singaporeans should remain concerned about the CECA with India. This is not racism or xenophobia. It’s about getting the best talents for Singapore. But because its the Opposition which has raised it, it becomes an issue of adversarial politics. The government wins the debate yet again. This will mean another wave of “Indian talents” coming over, yet again.

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 Indians, especially, challenge the rule of the Chinese majority. They can excel in Singapore without having anything to do with anything Chinese.

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.

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.

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.

> > > Further report from ST.

> > >
> > > "The proportion of EP holders from India has increased from about one seventh in 2005 to about a quarter in 2020," said Dr Tan, who did not give specific numbers.

> > >
> > > Citing the January 2021 United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs report, Dr Tan noted that in 2020 alone, it accounted for 18 million international migrants, up by 10 million from 2000. India has also grown to become the second largest source of immigrants in the US, and the third largest in the UK."
> > >
> > > That's because India has no birth control. Indians are mating and breeding like pests, causing its population growth to go out of control. It's exploding. Adding to the population woe is that India is a poorly governed country. The number of Indians struggling to get the hell out of India is enormous. Singapore should not try to be a relief valve for India's population explosion, talents not withstanding. They can easily flood out the tiny island of Singapore.
> > >
> > >

Instead of more intellectual science and technology, it's now more about human relationship skill, people- and gambling-oriented industries.

Those are not the issues. The issue is this. Is Singapore getting the best talents that it can? What are its criteria for “talents”?

What calibre of a nation is India? Are we really getting talents? Singapore is supposed to be a nation steep on meritocracy, which form one of its governing principles. Yet why is this not practised when it come to selecting foreign talents? Why is it receiving “ Indian talents” in large numbers who have little or no merits in the world?

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. The factors commonly taken into considerations are age, race, younger and more educated voters, government policies, incumbent treatment of the Opposition during the election campaign, etc..

Many voters would take this as a stamp of quality and approval from the PAP for the WP team. This, in a way, is a compliment to the PAP. It shows that PAP influence on the voters is still strong. It can easily sway voters either way, for or against it(unintentionally).

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. 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”.

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.

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?
> > > > > > >
> > > > > > > 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?

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..

> > > > Summary of main points:
> > > > Singapore needs talents from around the world.
> > > > High availability of Indians.
> > > > English-speaking talents preferred.
> > > >
> > > > Further report from ST.
> > > > About a quarter of the 177,100 employment pass (EP) holders in Singapore hail from India, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng in Parliament on Tuesday (6 July).
> > > >
> > > > "The proportion of EP holders from India has increased from about one seventh in 2005 to about a quarter in 2020," said Dr Tan, who did not give specific numbers.
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > Let's analyse the main points.
> > > >
> > > > 1. Great demand in IT and finance. Not enough locals.
> > > > "We don't have enough locals to fill the jobs available. In the infocomm sector alone today, 6,000 jobs currently remain unfilled," said Dr Tan.
> > > >
> > > > Yet many of SG's ethnic Chinese graduates, are encouraged to become hawkers. Govt should go to hawker centers to recruit them for IT jobs.
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > 2. Indians high availability.
> > > > "India's talent have continued to look outwards. It is currently the largest country of origin for international migrants.
> > > >
> > > > Citing the January 2021 United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs report, Dr Tan noted that in 2020 alone, it accounted for 18 million international migrants, up by 10 million from 2000. India has also grown to become the second largest source of immigrants in the US, and the third largest in the UK."
> > > >
> > > > That's because India has no birth control. Indians are mating and breeding like pests, causing its population growth to go out of control. It's exploding. Adding to the population woe is that India is a poorly governed country. The number of Indians struggling to get the hell out of India is enormous. Singapore should not try to be a relief valve for India's population explosion, talents not withstanding. They can easily flood out the tiny island of Singapore.
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > Quality is more important than availability. Can the "talents" from India be trusted? Those "talents" from India are second or third rate. The best opts to go to the West. India is notorious for massive cheating in exams and degree mills churning out fake degrees.
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > More important than quality is suitability. Can they fit in well to SG's society, in terms of culture?
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > English Language
> > > > "There is no differentiation based on nationality: all work pass holders in Singapore have to meet the same criteria before they are allowed to enter the local labour market."
> > > >
> > > > That does not mean its equal and fair to all. The weighting placed on the English Language favors the Indians.
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > Has the high influx of Indian "talents" been of help to Singapore's economy?
> > > >
> > > > "SG's economy has grown from 20B in 1970's to over 450B now."
> > > >
> > > > The economies of most countries in the world have grown during the same period. Those which have not are banana republics and failed states.
> > > >
> > > > For the past decades, Singapore's economy is best characterised by low growth rate of low single digit, under low interest rate. Moreover, the technological level of the economy has declined. From the promised high-tech knowledge-based economy, it has diverted to a low-tech service and risky finance economy. Instead of more intellectual science and technology, it's now more about human relationship skill, people- and gambling-oriented industries.
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > Have Indians contributed to Singapore's economy? Of course. This would be true of other nationalities and ethnicity working in Singapore.
> > > >
> > > > The Indian diaspora has grown, especially in native English-speaking nations. But has its contribution to the economy of these places? In Europe, compare Germany and Britain. Non-English speaking Germany, which attracts much fewer Indians, have done better than Britain which is a magnet for Indians.
> > > >
> > > > The English speaking world, the Five Eyes for example, with huge influx of Indians, have done no better than China, which attracts few Indians..
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > It's not just the workforce. It's happening throughout the whole population.
> > > >
> > > > Chinese proportion among SG's citizen has been in decline. From 76.9% in 2000 to below 76% in 2020. For resident population, its worse. The Chinese only makes up 74.3% of the residential population. The Indians proportions in both cases have increased. This trend in the ethnic composition of SG continues unabated.

It goes without having to say it that Singapore must be opened to the globalised world, and that means competing with the rest of the world, and for that we have to welcome foreign talents. Those are not the issues. The issue is this. Is Singapore getting the best talents that it can? What are its criteria for “talents”?
> > >
> > > We have so many Indians coming over that they change the public perception of the ethnic composition of the country. In some places like business parks and financial centers, they even form the substantial majority.

What calibre of a nation is India? Are we really getting talents? Singapore is supposed to be a nation steep on meritocracy, which form one of its governing principles. Yet why is this not practised when it come to selecting foreign talents? Why is it receiving “ Indian talents” in large numbers who have little or no merits in the world?
> > >
> > > CECA with India should rightly be questioned. Other countries are cautious about it. Look at Australia. After many years of negotiation, Australia has yet to sign a CECA with India. The OZs are wary of the people-to-people exchange clause. Perhaps they have seen what had happened to Singapore. They do not want Australia to be flooded with Indians. And Australia is an island of continental size!

But because its the Opposition which has raised it, it becomes an issue of adversarial politics. The government wins the debate yet again..

Indians think they have found a hero in him.

>
> Let’s go through some points raised in the videos and delve into their details a bit.
>
>
> Non-Chinese being the victims of Chinese racism.
> Racism exist between all races. No one race is only the victim, no one race is only the perpetrator. Non-Chinese should know how racists they themselves are toward Chinese.
> Why no Chinese has been invited to speak of the racism they have experienced from the racial minorities? There are at least three serious cases with videos to support them.
>
> 1. Malay man spat repeatedly at Chinese woman at a bus station.
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfI_l2DpGsE
> 2. Indian man spew profanities lasting minutes at Chinese at a food outlet.
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E3z7mPVReQ
> 3. Indian woman assaulted Chinese woman in a shop.
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyNOq9vUbd4
>
> Has anyone from the racial minorities been treated as badly by anyone from the Chinese majority? These were major racial incidents which should have created waves but they were played down, only briefly reported in the media. In contrast, Chinese who are accused of being racists over the slightest incidents are widely reported, exposed and criticised. They are harshly punished by the law, lose their jobs and livelihoods and become patients in IMH.
>
>
> PRC and Chinese
> “It is true that everywhere we go,we will see these PRCs. There are a few people around me who say that we are going to be a little China soon. This is what the Singaporean minority groups are afraid of and we will be treated like second-hands.”
>
> This is so anti-Chinese and anti-China. How can you “see” a PRC or Chinese? East Asians like Chinese, Koreans and Japs, South-East Asians like Vietnamese, they all look alike.
> Those who have grown up in Singapore since its independence will know the obvious change in the nation’s population - there are now many more non-Chinese, especially Indians.
> Those who are worried about there being more PRC or Chinese are just being racists. They would like to see more of their own kind instead.
>
>
> Throwing doubt at a PRC-converted Singaporean.
> One PRC-converted Singaporean was quoted as saying:
> “I think it would still be good to keep some boundaries.
> Somethings I choose to do my way. Singaporeans can do things their own way, but I hope they don’t try to convert me into a Singaporean in all ways.”
>
> For that she was accused of not being genuine and sincere enough to be a Singaporean, by that chest thumping thamby, who said:

>
> If only that stupid Indian guy can think as he thumped his chest. There’s nothing wrong in what she said. It’s true for all Singaporeans, newly converted citizens or not. Singapore is a multi-racial and multi-religious nation. There are so many boundaries, barriers and taboos between the various races and religions. Must a newly-converted Singaporean carry the stink of an Indian, wash their arse with their hands like the Malays and eat only halal food like the Muslims before he/she can be considered a genuine and sincere Singaporean? Not even a born-and-bred Singaporean would be like that.
>
> What prompted the PRC-converted citizen to say what she said? She was answering a question. The question was not revealed. The same question should be posed to converted citizens of other countries/races for their answers. But it’s not. Cunning racism.
>
>
> Sports for unity and patriotism.
> How stupid. Those flag-waving and roaring in a football stadium do not constitute patriotism. They are all for fun and entertainment only. If these people were to ask to suffer and sacrifice for Singapore, they would scoot off without a trace.
>
> Even in the realm of sports, the anti-Chinese racism of the racial minorities is blatant. All those foreign footballers whom they adored as heroes were non-Chinese. They had contributed little to the international reputation of Singapore. They were only well-known locally. In Malaysia, there’s the term ‘Jaguh Kampong’, i.e., Kampong Champ. In Singapore, those footballers were only ‘Jaguh Bandar’ i.e., City Champ. Out of Singapore, they are nothing.
>
> PRC Chinese, those who are PR or have converted to Singaporeans, have won honors for Singapore in international arenas, all the way to the Olympics, in the games of badminton and table-tennis. Their contributions to Singapore are much more than those footballers. Yet their efforts and sacrifices were not recognised. Instead, they were criticised frequently by the racial minorities, with their loyalties to SG being questioned. They were demoralised and have mostly left. And so have Singapore’s achievements in international badminton and table-tennis. That’s what anti-Chinese racism has caused to Singapore in sports.
>
>
>
> Foreign workers.
> Mostly from South Asia and mostly Indians. Because of that, their welfare is the concern of Singaporean Indians. Food, clothing and accommodation, only the best of these for them will do. Local Indian lawyers will fight for their legal rights. They would be ensured of the highest compensation over the slightest injuries so much so that many of them began to feign injuries or purposely injure themselves.
> Now in the Straits Times, there is the concern about their recruitment through middlemen. Indian middlemen make a big cut for their recruitment fee for Indians to work in SG. Now the SG authority is expected to help cut this out so that it will be financially easier for Indians to come to work in SG.
> If these foreign workers were mostly Chinese, the treatment will be very different. The racial minorities will be barking and howling for their evictions and return to China. That’s how racist are the racial minorities of SG.
>
>
> English- and Singlish-speaking
> Racial minorities only complain about non-English-speaking PRC Chinese, e..g. bus conductors but not a word about those foreign workers who mostly don’t speak a word of English.
> Singlish is only for fun and entertainment. That’s why it is used in comedy. It should not be a part of a Singaporean Identity. It will make Singapore a nation of country bumpkins.
>
>
> Luke Lu.
> This guy appears in the video for a good reason. He’s a champion of the English language in SG. While he was doing his postgraduate studies in Cambridge, UK, he wrote articles to the ST proudly claiming English to be his mother-tongue. In response, one local guy suggested that he proclaimed it to his lecturers and fellow students in Cambridge and report back their reactions. That stopped the issue. We know what happened. He had been ridiculed as a well-colonised WOG or something along that line. That is the stark reality. We can use English for its economic value. The rest of the world can understand that. Claiming more than that will earn ridicules and even despises, from the rest of the world. This is especially true for a Chinese Singaporean. While overseas, Singaporean Chinese are recognised for their ethnicity rather than nationality. Through him/her, people are interested to know more about that 5000 years of Chinese civilisation, its culture and history.

> The two videos are examples of crooked, crafty and cunning anti-Chinese racism, pure and simple. What gives those racists the temerity to do it? How can those involved be allowed to get away with it? It’s a piss of Indian racism by Indian-dominated English-language media CNA, which is becoming Channel News Aneh. For a long time now, Singapore’s English language media has been dominated by the Indians. It’s the media of Indian 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?

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.

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?

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”.

Indians think they have found a hero in him.

> Let’s go through some points raised in the videos and delve into their details a bit.
>
>
> Non-Chinese being the victims of Chinese racism.
> Racism exist between all races. No one race is only the victim, no one race is only the perpetrator. Non-Chinese should know how racists they themselves are toward Chinese.
> Why no Chinese has been invited to speak of the racism they have experienced from the racial minorities? There are at least three serious cases with videos to support them.
>
> 1. Malay man spat repeatedly at Chinese woman at a bus station.
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfI_l2DpGsE
> 2. Indian man spew profanities lasting minutes at Chinese at a food outlet.
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E3z7mPVReQ
> 3. Indian woman assaulted Chinese woman in a shop.
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyNOq9vUbd4
>
> Has anyone from the racial minorities been treated as badly by anyone from the Chinese majority? These were major racial incidents which should have created waves but they were played down, only briefly reported in the media. In contrast, Chinese who are accused of being racists over the slightest incidents are widely reported, exposed and criticised. They are harshly punished by the law, lose their jobs and livelihoods and become patients in IMH.
>
>
> PRC and Chinese
> “It is true that everywhere we go,we will see these PRCs. There are a few people around me who say that we are going to be a little China soon. This is what the Singaporean minority groups are afraid of and we will be treated like second-hands.”
>
> This is so anti-Chinese and anti-China. How can you “see” a PRC or Chinese? East Asians like Chinese, Koreans and Japs, South-East Asians like Vietnamese, they all look alike.
> Those who have grown up in Singapore since its independence will know the obvious change in the nation’s population - there are now many more non-Chinese, especially Indians.
> Those who are worried about there being more PRC or Chinese are just being racists. They would like to see more of their own kind instead.

>
> If only that stupid Indian guy can think as he thumped his chest. There’s nothing wrong in what she said. It’s true for all Singaporeans, newly converted citizens or not. Singapore is a multi-racial and multi-religious nation. There are so many boundaries, barriers and taboos between the various races and religions. Must a newly-converted Singaporean carry the stink of an Indian, wash their arse with their hands like the Malays and eat only halal food like the Muslims before he/she can be considered a genuine and sincere Singaporean? Not even a born-and-bred Singaporean would be like that.
>
> What prompted the PRC-converted citizen to say what she said? She was answering a question. The question was not revealed. The same question should be posed to converted citizens of other countries/races for their answers. But it’s not. Cunning racism.
>
>
> Sports for unity and patriotism.
> How stupid. Those flag-waving and roaring in a football stadium do not constitute patriotism. They are all for fun and entertainment only. If these people were to ask to suffer and sacrifice for Singapore, they would scoot off without a trace.
>
> Even in the realm of sports, the anti-Chinese racism of the racial minorities is blatant. All those foreign footballers whom they adored as heroes were non-Chinese. They had contributed little to the international reputation of Singapore. They were only well-known locally. In Malaysia, there’s the term ‘Jaguh Kampong’, i.e., Kampong Champ. In Singapore, those footballers were only ‘Jaguh Bandar’ i.e., City Champ. Out of Singapore, they are nothing.
>
> PRC Chinese, those who are PR or have converted to Singaporeans, have won honors for Singapore in international arenas, all the way to the Olympics, in the games of badminton and table-tennis. Their contributions to Singapore are much more than those footballers. Yet their efforts and sacrifices were not recognised. Instead, they were criticised frequently by the racial minorities, with their loyalties to SG being questioned. They were demoralised and have mostly left. And so have Singapore’s achievements in international badminton and table-tennis. That’s what anti-Chinese racism has caused to Singapore in sports.
>
>
>
> Foreign workers.
> Mostly from South Asia and mostly Indians. Because of that, their welfare is the concern of Singaporean Indians. Food, clothing and accommodation, only the best of these for them will do. Local Indian lawyers will fight for their legal rights. They would be ensured of the highest compensation over the slightest injuries so much so that many of them began to feign injuries or purposely injure themselves.
> Now in the Straits Times, there is the concern about their recruitment through middlemen. Indian middlemen make a big cut for their recruitment fee for Indians to work in SG. Now the SG authority is expected to help cut this out so that it will be financially easier for Indians to come to work in SG.
> If these foreign workers were mostly Chinese, the treatment will be very different. The racial minorities will be barking and howling for their evictions and return to China. That’s how racist are the racial minorities of SG.

> Luke Lu.
> This guy appears in the video for a good reason. He’s a champion of the English language in SG. While he was doing his postgraduate studies in Cambridge, UK, he wrote articles to the ST proudly claiming English to be his mother-tongue. In response, one local guy suggested that he proclaimed it to his lecturers and fellow students in Cambridge and report back their reactions. That stopped the issue. We know what happened. He had been ridiculed as a well-colonised WOG or something along that line. That is the stark reality. We can use English for its economic value. The rest of the world can understand that. Claiming more than that will earn ridicules and even despises, from the rest of the world. This is especially true for a Chinese Singaporean. While overseas, Singaporean Chinese are recognised for their ethnicity rather than nationality. Through him/her, people are interested to know more about that 5000 years of Chinese civilisation, its culture and history.

It’s a holiday in SG today because it’s Deepavali, an Indian festive of light.

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.

It can easily sway voters either way, for or against it(unintentionally).

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. Here’s another one:

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.

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.

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..

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.

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..

> > > > About a quarter of the 177,100 employment pass (EP) holders in Singapore hail from India, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng in Parliament on Tuesday (6 July).
> > > >
> > > > "The proportion of EP holders from India has increased from about one seventh in 2005 to about a quarter in 2020," said Dr Tan, who did not give specific numbers.
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > Let's analyse the main points.
> > > >
> > > > 1. Great demand in IT and finance. Not enough locals.
> > > > "We don't have enough locals to fill the jobs available. In the infocomm sector alone today, 6,000 jobs currently remain unfilled," said Dr Tan.
> > > >
> > > > Yet many of SG's ethnic Chinese graduates, are encouraged to become hawkers. Govt should go to hawker centers to recruit them for IT jobs.

> > > >
> > > > 2. Indians high availability.
> > > > "India's talent have continued to look outwards. It is currently the largest country of origin for international migrants.
> > > >
> > > > Citing the January 2021 United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs report, Dr Tan noted that in 2020 alone, it accounted for 18 million international migrants, up by 10 million from 2000. India has also grown to become the second largest source of immigrants in the US, and the third largest in the UK."
> > > >
> > > > That's because India has no birth control. Indians are mating and breeding like pests, causing its population growth to go out of control. It's exploding. Adding to the population woe is that India is a poorly governed country. The number of Indians struggling to get the hell out of India is enormous. Singapore should not try to be a relief valve for India's population explosion, talents not withstanding. They can easily flood out the tiny island of Singapore.
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > Quality is more important than availability. Can the "talents" from India be trusted? Those "talents" from India are second or third rate. The best opts to go to the West. India is notorious for massive cheating in exams and degree mills churning out fake degrees.
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > More important than quality is suitability. Can they fit in well to SG's society, in terms of culture?

> > > >
> > > > That does not mean its equal and fair to all. The weighting placed on the English Language favors the Indians.
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > Has the high influx of Indian "talents" been of help to Singapore's economy?
> > > >
> > > > "SG's economy has grown from 20B in 1970's to over 450B now."
> > > >
> > > > The economies of most countries in the world have grown during the same period. Those which have not are banana republics and failed states.
> > > >
> > > > For the past decades, Singapore's economy is best characterised by low growth rate of low single digit, under low interest rate. Moreover, the technological level of the economy has declined. From the promised high-tech knowledge-based economy, it has diverted to a low-tech service and risky finance economy. Instead of more intellectual science and technology, it's now more about human relationship skill, people- and gambling-oriented industries.

> > > >
> > > > The Indian diaspora has grown, especially in native English-speaking nations. But has its contribution to the economy of these places? In Europe, compare Germany and Britain. Non-English speaking Germany, which attracts much fewer Indians, have done better than Britain which is a magnet for Indians.

> > > > The English speaking world, the Five Eyes for example, with huge influx of Indians, have done no better than China, which attracts few Indians..
> > > >
> > > >
> > > > It's not just the workforce. It's happening throughout the whole population.
> > > >
> > > > Chinese proportion among SG's citizen has been in decline. From 76.9% in 2000 to below 76% in 2020. For resident population, its worse. The Chinese only makes up 74.3% of the residential population. The Indians proportions in both cases have increased. This trend in the ethnic composition of SG continues unabated.

It goes without having to say it that Singapore must be opened to the globalised world, and that means competing with the rest of the world, and for that we have to welcome foreign talents. Those are not the issues. The issue is this. Is Singapore getting the best talents that it can? What are its criteria for “talents”?

What calibre of a nation is India? Are we really getting talents? Singapore is supposed to be a nation steep on meritocracy, which form one of its governing principles. Yet why is this not practised when it come to selecting foreign talents? Why is it receiving “ Indian talents” in large numbers who have little or no merits in the world?

And Australia is an island of continental size!

> Going by the number of participants, one would think that the Chinese form a minority in SG. There’s this unshaven, fierce looking Indian.

Indians think they have found a hero in him.
>
>
> Let’s go through some points raised in the videos and delve into their details a bit.
>
>
> Non-Chinese being the victims of Chinese racism.
> Racism exist between all races. No one race is only the victim, no one race is only the perpetrator. Non-Chinese should know how racists they themselves are toward Chinese.
> Why no Chinese has been invited to speak of the racism they have experienced from the racial minorities? There are at least three serious cases with videos to support them.
>
> 1. Malay man spat repeatedly at Chinese woman at a bus station.
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfI_l2DpGsE
> 2. Indian man spew profanities lasting minutes at Chinese at a food outlet.
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E3z7mPVReQ
> 3. Indian woman assaulted Chinese woman in a shop.
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyNOq9vUbd4
>
> Has anyone from the racial minorities been treated as badly by anyone from the Chinese majority? These were major racial incidents which should have created waves but they were played down, only briefly reported in the media. In contrast, Chinese who are accused of being racists over the slightest incidents are widely reported, exposed and criticised. They are harshly punished by the law, lose their jobs and livelihoods and become patients in IMH.
>
>
> PRC and Chinese
> “It is true that everywhere we go,we will see these PRCs. There are a few people around me who say that we are going to be a little China soon. This is what the Singaporean minority groups are afraid of and we will be treated like second-hands.”
>
> This is so anti-Chinese and anti-China. How can you “see” a PRC or Chinese? East Asians like Chinese, Koreans and Japs, South-East Asians like Vietnamese, they all look alike.
> Those who have grown up in Singapore since its independence will know the obvious change in the nation’s population - there are now many more non-Chinese, especially Indians.
> Those who are worried about there being more PRC or Chinese are just being racists. They would like to see more of their own kind instead.
>
>
> Throwing doubt at a PRC-converted Singaporean.
> One PRC-converted Singaporean was quoted as saying:
> “I think it would still be good to keep some boundaries.
> Somethings I choose to do my way. Singaporeans can do things their own way, but I hope they don’t try to convert me into a Singaporean in all ways.”
>
> For that she was accused of not being genuine and sincere enough to be a Singaporean, by that chest thumping thamby, who said:
> “That’s the biggest problem you see when it comes to immigration.
> When immigrants come in with this mindset because Singaporeans can feel it if you’re genuine and you’re sincere and you want to know about the people in the country.”
>
> If only that stupid Indian guy can think as he thumped his chest. There’s nothing wrong in what she said. It’s true for all Singaporeans, newly converted citizens or not. Singapore is a multi-racial and multi-religious nation. There are so many boundaries, barriers and taboos between the various races and religions. Must a newly-converted Singaporean carry the stink of an Indian, wash their arse with their hands like the Malays and eat only halal food like the Muslims before he/she can be considered a genuine and sincere Singaporean? Not even a born-and-bred Singaporean would be like that.
>
> What prompted the PRC-converted citizen to say what she said? She was answering a question. The question was not revealed. The same question should be posed to converted citizens of other countries/races for their answers. But it’s not. Cunning racism.
>
>
> Sports for unity and patriotism.
> How stupid. Those flag-waving and roaring in a football stadium do not constitute patriotism. They are all for fun and entertainment only. If these people were to ask to suffer and sacrifice for Singapore, they would scoot off without a trace.
>
> Even in the realm of sports, the anti-Chinese racism of the racial minorities is blatant. All those foreign footballers whom they adored as heroes were non-Chinese. They had contributed little to the international reputation of Singapore. They were only well-known locally. In Malaysia, there’s the term ‘Jaguh Kampong’, i.e., Kampong Champ. In Singapore, those footballers were only ‘Jaguh Bandar’ i.e., City Champ. Out of Singapore, they are nothing.
>
> PRC Chinese, those who are PR or have converted to Singaporeans, have won honors for Singapore in international arenas, all the way to the Olympics, in the games of badminton and table-tennis. Their contributions to Singapore are much more than those footballers. Yet their efforts and sacrifices were not recognised. Instead, they were criticised frequently by the racial minorities, with their loyalties to SG being questioned. They were demoralised and have mostly left. And so have Singapore’s achievements in international badminton and table-tennis. That’s what anti-Chinese racism has caused to Singapore in sports.
>
>
>
> Foreign workers.
> Mostly from South Asia and mostly Indians. Because of that, their welfare is the concern of Singaporean Indians. Food, clothing and accommodation, only the best of these for them will do. Local Indian lawyers will fight for their legal rights. They would be ensured of the highest compensation over the slightest injuries so much so that many of them began to feign injuries or purposely injure themselves.
> Now in the Straits Times, there is the concern about their recruitment through middlemen. Indian middlemen make a big cut for their recruitment fee for Indians to work in SG. Now the SG authority is expected to help cut this out so that it will be financially easier for Indians to come to work in SG.
> If these foreign workers were mostly Chinese, the treatment will be very different. The racial minorities will be barking and howling for their evictions and return to China. That’s how racist are the racial minorities of SG.
>
>

While he was doing his postgraduate studies in Cambridge, UK, he wrote articles to the ST proudly claiming English to be his mother-tongue. In response, one local guy suggested that he proclaimed it to his lecturers and fellow students in Cambridge and report back their reactions. That stopped the issue. We know what happened. He had been ridiculed as a well-colonised WOG or something along that line. That is the stark reality. We can use English for its economic value. The rest of the world can understand that. Claiming more than that will earn ridicules and even despises, from the rest of the world. This is especially true for a Chinese Singaporean. While overseas, Singaporean Chinese are recognised for their ethnicity rather than nationality. Through him/her, people are interested to know more about that 5000 years of Chinese civilisation, its culture and history.

How can those involved be allowed to get away with it? It’s a piss of Indian racism by Indian-dominated English-language media CNA, which is becoming Channel News Aneh. For a long time now, Singapore’s English language media has been dominated by the Indians. It’s the media of Indian 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?

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's not a single post-election analysis based on race. A good one would be how votes for the four major races are distributed among the two main contenders PAP and WP. Then compare the distribution of this election with the one in 2015. They may tell a lot about how race affects votes, if at all.

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.

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.

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.

> > > > >
> > > > > Summary of main points:
> > > > > Singapore needs talents from around the world.
> > > > > High availability of Indians.
> > > > > English-speaking talents preferred.
> > > > >
> > > > > Further report from ST.
> > > > > About a quarter of the 177,100 employment pass (EP) holders in Singapore hail from India, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng in Parliament on Tuesday (6 July).
> > > > >
> > > > > "The proportion of EP holders from India has increased from about one seventh in 2005 to about a quarter in 2020," said Dr Tan, who did not give specific numbers.
> > > > >
> > > > >
> > > > > Let's analyse the main points.
> > > > >
> > > > > 1. Great demand in IT and finance. Not enough locals.
> > > > > "We don't have enough locals to fill the jobs available. In the infocomm sector alone today, 6,000 jobs currently remain unfilled," said Dr Tan.
> > > > >
> > > > > Yet many of SG's ethnic Chinese graduates, are encouraged to become hawkers. Govt should go to hawker centers to recruit them for IT jobs.
> > > > >
> > > > >
> > > > > 2. Indians high availability.
> > > > > "India's talent have continued to look outwards. It is currently the largest country of origin for international migrants.
> > > > >
> > > > > Citing the January 2021 United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs report, Dr Tan noted that in 2020 alone, it accounted for 18 million international migrants, up by 10 million from 2000. India has also grown to become the second largest source of immigrants in the US, and the third largest in the UK."
> > > > >
> > > > > That's because India has no birth control. Indians are mating and breeding like pests, causing its population growth to go out of control. It's exploding. Adding to the population woe is that India is a poorly governed country. The number of Indians struggling to get the hell out of India is enormous. Singapore should not try to be a relief valve for India's population explosion, talents not withstanding. They can easily flood out the tiny island of Singapore.
> > > > >
> > > > >
> > > > > Quality is more important than availability. Can the "talents" from India be trusted? Those "talents" from India are second or third rate. The best opts to go to the West. India is notorious for massive cheating in exams and degree mills churning out fake degrees.
> > > > >
> > > > >
> > > > > More important than quality is suitability. Can they fit in well to SG's society, in terms of culture?
> > > > >
> > > > >
> > > > > English Language
> > > > > "There is no differentiation based on nationality: all work pass holders in Singapore have to meet the same criteria before they are allowed to enter the local labour market."
> > > > >
> > > > > That does not mean its equal and fair to all. The weighting placed on the English Language favors the Indians.
> > > > >
> > > > >
> > > > > Has the high influx of Indian "talents" been of help to Singapore's economy?
> > > > >
> > > > > "SG's economy has grown from 20B in 1970's to over 450B now."
> > > > >
> > > > > The economies of most countries in the world have grown during the same period. Those which have not are banana republics and failed states.
> > > > >
> > > > > For the past decades, Singapore's economy is best characterised by low growth rate of low single digit, under low interest rate. Moreover, the technological level of the economy has declined. From the promised high-tech knowledge-based economy, it has diverted to a low-tech service and risky finance economy. Instead of more intellectual science and technology, it's now more about human relationship skill, people- and gambling-oriented industries.
> > > > >
> > > > >
> > > > > Have Indians contributed to Singapore's economy? Of course. This would be true of other nationalities and ethnicity working in Singapore.
> > > > >
> > > > > The Indian diaspora has grown, especially in native English-speaking nations. But has its contribution to the economy of these places? In Europe, compare Germany and Britain. Non-English speaking Germany, which attracts much fewer Indians, have done better than Britain which is a magnet for Indians.
> > > > >
> > > > > The English speaking world, the Five Eyes for example, with huge influx of Indians, have done no better than China, which attracts few Indians.
> > > > >
> > > > >
> > > > > It's not just the workforce. It's happening throughout the whole population.
> > > > >
> > > > > Chinese proportion among SG's citizen has been in decline. From 76.9% in 2000 to below 76% in 2020. For resident population, its worse. The Chinese only makes up 74.3% of the residential population. The Indians proportions in both cases have increased. This trend in the ethnic composition of SG continues unabated.
> > > > >
> > > > >
> > > > >
> > > > >
> > > > > Singapore is a tiny nation. We should welcome talents from all over the world who can contribute to our progress. But bear this mind. Due to our small population, there are populous nations which can easily flood out Singapore in many ways, whether in the number of talents or other criteria.
> > > > >
> > > > >
> > > > > The Opposition has highlighted the issue to reflect the worries of those who have voted for it, especially during the last GE. Its performance has improved in the last election due to voters with grouses over foreigners taking over their jobs.
> > > > >
> > > > > The government can win the debate in Parliament but can it convince the people and win over their hearts and minds, when their own experiences tell them a different story? The next GE will reveal the answer.
> > > > As expected, the issue of CECA becomes entangled with the issues of globalisation,openness and foreign talents. It goes without having to say it that Singapore must be opened to the globalised world, and that means competing with the rest of the world, and for that we have to welcome foreign talents. Those are not the issues. The issue is this. Is Singapore getting the best talents that it can? What are its criteria for “talents”?
> > > >
> > > > We have so many Indians coming over that they change the public perception of the ethnic composition of the country. In some places like business parks and financial centers, they even form the substantial majority.
> > > >
> > > > If they are Americans, Chinese or Japanese, that’s understandable. They would be from the top nations of the world, whose talents are lacking in Singapore. We need such people. But From India? What calibre of a nation is India? Are we really getting talents? Singapore is supposed to be a nation steep on meritocracy, which form one of its governing principles. Yet why is this not practised when it come to selecting foreign talents? Why is it receiving “ Indian talents” in large numbers who have little or no merits in the world?
> > > >
> > > > CECA with India should rightly be questioned. Other countries are cautious about it. Look at Australia. After many years of negotiation, Australia has yet to sign a CECA with India. The OZs are wary of the people-to-people exchange clause. Perhaps they have seen what had happened to Singapore. They do not want Australia to be flooded with Indians. And Australia is an island of continental size!
> > > >
> > > > Singaporeans should remain concerned about the CECA with India. This is not racism or xenophobia. It’s about getting the best talents for Singapore. But because its the Opposition which has raised it, it becomes an issue of adversarial politics. The government wins the debate yet again. This will mean another wave of “Indian talents” coming over, yet again.

> > >
> > > The issue is about CECA with India allowing Indians to swagger in in large numbers. Now the results of a survey are being used indirectly to support CECA with India. As expected, the results of the survey led to its pre-determined conclusion:
> > >

> > >
> > >
> > > That means Singapore should continue to let in Indians under CECA. And something has to be done to those poor and lowly educated in Singapore. A carrot-and-stick approach, perhaps. Stick - make them feel guilty as racists. Carrot – PR work. Have those Indian professionals spend their weekends delivering free goods to them.

> > Going by the number of participants, one would think that the Chinese form a minority in SG. There’s this unshaven, fierce looking Indian. In another CNA serial, he was thumping his chest proclaiming “This land is mine”. When he says it, he means Singapore has become part of India. Watch out for him. He will have more appearances. Indians think they have found a hero in him.
> >
> >
> > Let’s go through some points raised in the videos and delve into their details a bit.
> >
> >
> > Non-Chinese being the victims of Chinese racism.
> > Racism exist between all races. No one race is only the victim, no one race is only the perpetrator. Non-Chinese should know how racists they themselves are toward Chinese.
> > Why no Chinese has been invited to speak of the racism they have experienced from the racial minorities? There are at least three serious cases with videos to support them.
> >
> > 1. Malay man spat repeatedly at Chinese woman at a bus station.
> > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfI_l2DpGsE
> > 2. Indian man spew profanities lasting minutes at Chinese at a food outlet.
> > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E3z7mPVReQ
> > 3. Indian woman assaulted Chinese woman in a shop.
> > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyNOq9vUbd4
> >
> > Has anyone from the racial minorities been treated as badly by anyone from the Chinese majority? These were major racial incidents which should have created waves but they were played down, only briefly reported in the media. In contrast, Chinese who are accused of being racists over the slightest incidents are widely reported, exposed and criticised. They are harshly punished by the law, lose their jobs and livelihoods and become patients in IMH.
> >
> >
> > PRC and Chinese
> > “It is true that everywhere we go,we will see these PRCs. There are a few people around me who say that we are going to be a little China soon. This is what the Singaporean minority groups are afraid of and we will be treated like second-hands.”
> >
> > This is so anti-Chinese and anti-China. How can you “see” a PRC or Chinese? East Asians like Chinese, Koreans and Japs, South-East Asians like Vietnamese, they all look alike.
> > Those who have grown up in Singapore since its independence will know the obvious change in the nation’s population - there are now many more non-Chinese, especially Indians.
> > Those who are worried about there being more PRC or Chinese are just being racists. They would like to see more of their own kind instead.
> >
> >
> > Throwing doubt at a PRC-converted Singaporean.
> > One PRC-converted Singaporean was quoted as saying:
> > “I think it would still be good to keep some boundaries.
> > Somethings I choose to do my way. Singaporeans can do things their own way, but I hope they don’t try to convert me into a Singaporean in all ways.”
> >
> > For that she was accused of not being genuine and sincere enough to be a Singaporean, by that chest thumping thamby, who said:
> > “That’s the biggest problem you see when it comes to immigration.
> > When immigrants come in with this mindset because Singaporeans can feel it if you’re genuine and you’re sincere and you want to know about the people in the country.”
> >
> > If only that stupid Indian guy can think as he thumped his chest. There’s nothing wrong in what she said. It’s true for all Singaporeans, newly converted citizens or not. Singapore is a multi-racial and multi-religious nation. There are so many boundaries, barriers and taboos between the various races and religions. Must a newly-converted Singaporean carry the stink of an Indian, wash their arse with their hands like the Malays and eat only halal food like the Muslims before he/she can be considered a genuine and sincere Singaporean? Not even a born-and-bred Singaporean would be like that.
> >
> > What prompted the PRC-converted citizen to say what she said? She was answering a question. The question was not revealed. The same question should be posed to converted citizens of other countries/races for their answers.. But it’s not. Cunning racism.
> >
> >
> > Sports for unity and patriotism.
> > How stupid. Those flag-waving and roaring in a football stadium do not constitute patriotism. They are all for fun and entertainment only. If these people were to ask to suffer and sacrifice for Singapore, they would scoot off without a trace.
> >
> > Even in the realm of sports, the anti-Chinese racism of the racial minorities is blatant. All those foreign footballers whom they adored as heroes were non-Chinese. They had contributed little to the international reputation of Singapore. They were only well-known locally. In Malaysia, there’s the term ‘Jaguh Kampong’, i.e., Kampong Champ. In Singapore, those footballers were only ‘Jaguh Bandar’ i.e., City Champ. Out of Singapore, they are nothing.
> >
> > PRC Chinese, those who are PR or have converted to Singaporeans, have won honors for Singapore in international arenas, all the way to the Olympics, in the games of badminton and table-tennis. Their contributions to Singapore are much more than those footballers. Yet their efforts and sacrifices were not recognised. Instead, they were criticised frequently by the racial minorities, with their loyalties to SG being questioned. They were demoralised and have mostly left. And so have Singapore’s achievements in international badminton and table-tennis. That’s what anti-Chinese racism has caused to Singapore in sports.
> >
> >
> >
> > Foreign workers.
> > Mostly from South Asia and mostly Indians. Because of that, their welfare is the concern of Singaporean Indians. Food, clothing and accommodation, only the best of these for them will do. Local Indian lawyers will fight for their legal rights. They would be ensured of the highest compensation over the slightest injuries so much so that many of them began to feign injuries or purposely injure themselves.
> > Now in the Straits Times, there is the concern about their recruitment through middlemen. Indian middlemen make a big cut for their recruitment fee for Indians to work in SG. Now the SG authority is expected to help cut this out so that it will be financially easier for Indians to come to work in SG.
> > If these foreign workers were mostly Chinese, the treatment will be very different. The racial minorities will be barking and howling for their evictions and return to China. That’s how racist are the racial minorities of SG.
> >
> >
> > English- and Singlish-speaking
> > Racial minorities only complain about non-English-speaking PRC Chinese, e.g. bus conductors but not a word about those foreign workers who mostly don’t speak a word of English.
> > Singlish is only for fun and entertainment. That’s why it is used in comedy. It should not be a part of a Singaporean Identity. It will make Singapore a nation of country bumpkins.
> >
> >
> > Luke Lu.
> > This guy appears in the video for a good reason. He’s a champion of the English language in SG. While he was doing his postgraduate studies in Cambridge, UK, he wrote articles to the ST proudly claiming English to be his mother-tongue. In response, one local guy suggested that he proclaimed it to his lecturers and fellow students in Cambridge and report back their reactions. That stopped the issue. We know what happened. He had been ridiculed as a well-colonised WOG or something along that line. That is the stark reality. We can use English for its economic value. The rest of the world can understand that. Claiming more than that will earn ridicules and even despises, from the rest of the world. This is especially true for a Chinese Singaporean. While overseas, Singaporean Chinese are recognised for their ethnicity rather than nationality. Through him/her, people are interested to know more about that 5000 years of Chinese civilisation, its culture and history.
> >
> >
> >
> > The two videos are examples of crooked, crafty and cunning anti-Chinese racism, pure and simple. What gives those racists the temerity to do it? How can those involved be allowed to get away with it? It’s a piss of Indian racism by Indian-dominated English-language media CNA, which is becoming Channel News Aneh. For a long time now, Singapore’s English language media has been dominated by the Indians. It’s the media of Indian racism.
> >
> >
> > It’s time for the Indian-dominated English language media to stop all these nonsense. Those bastards and bitches among the racial minorities know better than anyone else that they themselves are as racist as any Chinese they accuse of racism against them.

> > The nation is now facing devastation by a coronavirus. Though it originated from India and is carried over to SG by Indians, it infects and kills all Singaporeans, equally, "regardless of race, language or religion". Perhaps that's the way we will all become equal, i.e., dead.
> Shanmugam and his FICA.

> He has China and Chinese in his mind, his phobia about Chinese Singaporeans being used to spy for China. He referred to the case of Huang Jing. Up till today, ordinary Singaporeans don’t know what exactly has he done. Of bigger concern to Shanguman is China interfering in the affairs of Singapore to promote and defend the interest of the Chinese majority here. Some years back, there was the case of a Singapore diplomat objecting to the Chinese Ambassador’s action in KL, Malaysia. He interpreted the Ambassador’s friendly act as one interfering in Malaysia’s affairs.

> Someone gave a robust reply to the above article, pointing out how much India cultivates the Indian diaspora to benefit India. That’s the racist attitude of the racial minorities. While they raise concern about the threat of China to Singapore,they themselves would wish for their ancestor nations to be powerful enough to come to their aid, when they need it.
>
>
> The truth is that it is much more likely for India to interfere in Singapore’s affair on behalf of the ethnic Indians. The following are the reasons.
>
> 1. Leaders from nations in South-east Asia which have substantial proportion of ethnic Chinese in they population, Singapore included, have persuaded and pushed leaders in China to make statements on Overseas Chinese to the following effects.
>
> a. Overseas Chinese are citizens of their respective nations.
> b. They should be loyal to their nations.
> c. China would have no political links with Overseas Chinese. They would have to solve problems they face within their own nations by themselves.
>
> There has never been such commitment from India. Singapore has made no attempt to extract a single statement of a similar nature from past and present governments of India. This is a grave mistake in our foreign policy which should not be left uncorrected. It’s becoming more urgent as India grows stronger and more Indians choose to settle in Singapore.
>

>
> 2. Every January, India celebrates Pravasi Bharatiya Divas which in English means Overseas India Day. Overseas India refers to anywhere in the world where there are ethnic Indians. India refers to them as People of Indian Origin (PIO). On this day, PIO’s all over the world are expected to refresh their remembrance of their ancestor land, promote India to the world and commit themselves to contribute to the progress of their Mother India..

>
> If that were to be a case about Singaporean Chinese and China, Indians like Shanmugam would go hysterical about China interfering in the affairs of Singapore.
>
> a. By proclaiming places where there are PIO’s as Overseas India, India is making territorial claim in nations around the world where there are Indians. This is naked expansionism.
>
> b. This is an outright interference by India of those nations which have ethnic Indians among their population, Singapore included.
>
>
> 3. India’s ever increasing population.
> India has failed to control its population growth. Despite being only about a third the size of China in territory, India’s population is going to surpass that of China and will continue to grow after that, with no end in sight. It was correctly predicted that the seven-billionth human would be an Indian. So too would be the eight-, nine-billionth and more billions beyond these.

> With Indians continuing to mate and breed like pests, resulting in a runaway population growth, India has no choice but to seek territorial expansion. Already, Sikkim, and more recently Kashmir, has fallen victims to Indian expansionism. Its remaining close neighbors are wary of India. Under current US geopolitical strategy, India is USs’ strategic partner. It is a member of the QUAD, a grouping of US, India, Japan and Australia, covering the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, so called Indo-Pacific, allowing India’s naval power to extend to the Pacific. With such geopolitical blessings, the temptations for India to expand grows stronger. Beyond South Asia, nations in South-east Asia would be easy target for India’s expansionism. The tiniest among them, Singapore, would be easiest target.

> India, rather than China, is the existential threat that Singapore faces. The Indian invasion of Singapore has been ongoing, albeit peacefully. Singapore is being flooded with Indians entering it through legal means, with the assistance of Indian lawyers. Right now it’s a peaceful invasion.. Later on it will be full military invasion and colonisation.
>

> Indians like Shanmugam will be selectively blind to the Indian threat while skillfully espousing the Chinese threat, a typical Indian cunning act. Shanmugam’s FICA is just another of his Fucking Indian Cunning Act.
