After the riot, what’s next?

The riot last night is a reminder that Singapore has not done enough in integrating the foreigners to our way of life. This kind of thing, a traffic accident, may cause some distraught to the victims and family members, if they are Sinkies, and it would be looked upon as an accident just like accidents in NS. The affected would get angry but no rioting. To the foreigners, rioting is part of their DNA. No kidding, they just demonstrated how it works. It is just how they would react in their home countries.
 
So? Instead of putting all the blames wrongly, let’s sit back and see what we have not done right and what we could do better. One thing I think we have not done well is the integration process. We have not taught them enough of our way of life. We need to put in more effort in this area.
 
Let’s appoint a minister that has a passion and tender loving care for foreigners here to organize another integration campaign to make the foreigners become more like us. Then allocate another $10m for it. Maybe $10m is not enough since this was the sum allocated to the last campaign. Let’s be more generous since we have plenty of money in the kitty. How about $50m, will it work? $50m or $100m, it will be money well spent and no more rioting and no more burning of police cars and injuries to our men in blue.
It is something that needs to be done. Let’s do it. Let’s take the fight to the foreigners, with flowers and good food and a lot of tender loving kindness.
