Denise Chong’s agenda on more immigrants

 The ST does not publish articles on social and political issues in the city for no reasons and one is not wrong to assume that every article is carefully screened and approved before appearing on print. The weekend article by Denise Chong, a young journalist on the politics of envy or jealousy by Sinkies against the influx of foreigners here is no exception. What is the message?
 

Here is just a small quote to give an idea of what she is pushing and approved for printing.
 

“I guess no matter how comfortably some have feathered their own nests, the psychological weight of seeing other people with nest eggs that are 20 or 40 or 60 million times bigger can sour contentment they might feel about their own more modest success.”
 

Why is a young journalist pushing so hard for more immigrants to come on board in this tiny island that is already over populated and squeezing the citizens out in many things, jobs, space, owning properties and cars? Why are there people who are so adamant, stubborn and persistent to want to flood the island with more foreigners? Why is it that now with a 40% of foreigners here, and targeted to be 50% or more in 2030 is a good thing and the more the merrier? What is the agenda?
 

What is the intellectual level of a young girl to push such a serious matter of national interest that would impact the whole population into the future, and to be worthy of being published in the official media? Or this is just an innocent view of a young girl and has nothing to do with the officialdom?
 

The citizens are crying foul, feeling squeezed and deprived and marginalized and wanting to stop the influx, and here is another journalist trying to stuff it in with no heed to their pain and anger, even giving them a dig as being selfish and green with envy. Would we want to see more foreigners coming in to take on top positions in the ministries, stats boards and the govt offices in general? Do we want to see a new citizen as our permanent secretary, head of our armed forces or the police, or even the intelligent services?
 

Do we see any difference between foreigners, new citizens and the original born and bred citizens, or that they are simply the same and the citizens should make way for these ‘foreign talents’? What is good for a country or the citizens if the foreigners are here and took over all the top jobs in the country?
 

How many more foreigners do we want to flood this island before we say enough is enough? Are we a country, a nation, or just another fuck shop?

Will anyone be surprised if this oldie (me) agrees wholeheartedly with Denize Chong that Sinkies are full of envies.
We envy others better endowed by nature, live better life and are more beauutiful.

Look at the Way how Sinkie Males spite at local women married to angmos. What do Sinki Males do when local women get intimate with angmos? The typical jibe will be 'angmo tuakee'. Me am no different from the Other Sinkies; just that I am not bothered with those women who choose 'tua kee' over locals and are indeed guilty as called. Not everyone has respect for self or even proud of ones nature. Furthermore, they have their freedoms to want 'tua kee' over other attributes and that Right must be respected.

I respectfully respect Ms Denise Chong's right to her opinion. Hopefully, what I have stated here is also accepted as my freedom.

Okay, me thinks many if not most are envious of one minister having a Heart Bypass Operation for ONLY $8 (Eight).
I say if he needs anymore operations to keep him alive or save his life, I say go ahead and save him or any others even if they are penniless.
LIFE MUST BE SAVED AT ANY COST OR NO COST. Hope no one is saying me am spouting rubbish.

Doesn't matter people are foreigners or Sinkies, if they can do a good job, they are good people.

Doesn't matter black cat or white cat, if they can catch mice, they are good cats.

Hahahahahaha.

Never underestimate their intellectual level (even if they don't know what to say) if they can even become PAP candidate and win an election.

Remember the youngest PAP candidate in GE 2011?

There are a lot more Denise Chongs out there, besides this one. Much more than what the 40% think.

Read today ST, KTP Hospital indicated that quite a few chose to go rather than hooked up to a dialysis machine, a slow lingering way to go. Depends on who you are, for a certain 90 year old, no effort will be spared.

I must agree with the above comment wholeheartedly. We should replace the whole cabinet if we can find better foreign cats that can catch mouse. Similarly we should replace the perm secs and even the head of ISD if we can find better foreigners.

What do you think?

RB, political office can not open for FT competition lar as all of them will lose their jobs so why should they. It's only other people jobs that should be open for global competition.

It is so very sad that I seem to get so much more out of foreign newspapers about life in Singapore than newspapers who are supposed to write about life in Singapore.

I don't understand, how did life become so nutty....

When the journalists are kids or foreigners, new citizens, what kind of newsworthy news would be reported?

Have a heart lah, RB!
Why come down so hard on a sweet young thing? She may not even be a sinkie.
Or she may just want to broaden her chance of hooking a rich angmo if more rich FTs are allowed in.
Or she even be instructed by her boss, who in all probabily is a MIW,to write the piece to keep her job or earn a promotion.

Chua Chin Leng aka redbean said...

Was I hard on her? I thought I was being kind and gentle. You should read the comments in TRE to know what is harsh.

I am always kind to the young. They need time to grow and learn the truth.

All is just her opinions. Maybe her parents depend on rental incomes from foreigners to make out a living. Maybe she depends on foreigners for her own living. There can be many maybes and she must have benefitted from the high influx of foreign migrants so she will turn against her own people to justify whatever it takes so as it will not jeopardize her rice bowl. Traitors DNA runs in the family and relatives and cronies.

RB, I'm not sure if S'pore is a fuck shop, but I do know of S'pore's most famous brothel situated along Braddell Road where Denise Chong and Chua Mui Hoong are everyday waiting for customers.

There are 1.5 billion Chinese, 1.2 billion Indians, 7.0 billion on this planet. I am sure most, if not all, are good, if not better, at catching mice than the 3.4 million Sinkies. Go ahead, invite them ALL to come here.

Definitely must keep one type of foreigners OUT:

Bacteria carrying the NDM-1 enzyme are highly resistant to the most powerful group of antibiotics, known as carbopenems, making infections caused by them extremely difficult to treat.(http://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2013/04/23/india-has-lost-superbug-war/)

India's drug-resistant TB crisis (http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/inpictures/2014/02/pictures-india-drug-resistant-tb--2014210100656564.html)

BEWARE: they are coming to infect us with their bacteria which are drug resistant.

As far as I know, it has reached pandemic level in india and authorities (india and sg) are keeping their mouth shut.

If what b said is true, then some institution or people are very irresponsible. With our compact living and jam packed trains, a bioligical epidemic could wipe us out from the face of the globe. KNNCCB.

I love to see all the fuckheads who agree with redbean spew vomit with vigour, but do FUCK ALL about it.

The population of Singapore will increase by immigration, whether you like it or not. Singapore will rock harder, whether you choose to dance along or not.

Bring it on! Keep those borders OPEN!

The border will be closed after 2016. And the new govt will be very selective. All the fakes will be sent packing. Singapore will be taken back by Singaporeans.
