60,000
British Indians turned out at the Wembley Stadium in London to welcome Indian
PM Narendra Modi during his official visit to the UK. According to a report appearing in the Today
paper by Yale Global on 20 Nov 15, ‘The gathering of about 60,000 British
Indians seleted through community organizations had a serious purpose – build a
database of overseas Indians to help re-elect Mr Modi’s Bharatlya Janata
Party(BJP) in 2019….A study of the reception at London’s Wembley Stadium last
Friday shows how shrewedly the BJP hides its political agenda with a non
political mask.’ Even the PM Cameron was roped in to make an introduction of
Modi at Wembley.
The
BJP won a landslide victory with the help of another rally at Madison Square in
the 2014 election and expecting a better result in 2019 after Wembley. There
will also be a similar rally in Singapore for a massive 100,000 turnout at the
Changi Expo site on 24 Nov reported earlier.
This
is the first time that Singapore allows such a huge gathering of foreigners masked
as a non political event in Singapore soil. Would this set the precedence for
more of such political rallies in Singapore. Singapore is not only the home for
Indian diaspora, there are the Chinese diaspora, Malaysian diaspora, Myanmese,
Pinoys, Bangladeshi and many others.
Would
the Malaysians be the next to hold such gatherings in Singapore? Would the
Pinoys and the Chinese also follow the bandwagon? Would Singapore become a
favourite political campaign sites for foreign politicians to stage their rallies
here? It is good money for the organizers and the landlord too. This can be a
new business with a lot of potentials for earning foreign exchange and also to
make Singapore well known throughout the world.
Oh
yes, more new jobs will be created.

Redbean likes anyone else can

If Modi can do it in Britain and
Elsewhere, why CAN'T he do it
in Sin, a World Renowned
Democratic State?
RB is worried about losing the Singapore identity. RB must realise that Singapore belongs not only to true blue Singaporeans but to all who live here, whether they are PRs, on work permits or new citizens. Do not be too possessive RB. Singapore should allow all foreigners to participate in the economic growth of the country. This economic growth would benefit all who live here. Al who work here contribute to the GDP growth of Singapore. LHL said we need foreigner participation for the good of the country. So, RB please be more accepting of foreigners.
ReplyDeleteYou lee khong cum?
DeleteI welcome all foreigners to participate in our growth. I detest foreigners coming here and discriminate against the citizens, cheat and con the citizens and mess up the lives of citizens by replacing the citizens with their own kind.
ReplyDeleteI say again, this is a crime against the citizens and anyone agreeing to it and helping this to happen is accomplice to this crime against the citizens.
// Would the Malaysians be the next to hold such gatherings in Singapore? //
ReplyDeleteWould Xi Jin Ping allowed Abe to hold a mass gatherings of overseas Japanese in the Beijing Olympics Bird Nest Stadium?
RB, in accepting those foreigners who have come to this island to help grow the economy, you must also accept that there will also be those who come with lesser good intention. You cannot cherry pick. Surely you know there are always a few bad apples in the barrel. This is also true amongst the true blue Singaporeans. Good ones and bad, they always come together. So please RB, when you write, think before you put pen to paper. Do not always paint everything and everyone with the same brush and always in one colour. Just try to be fair and less kiasu.

ReplyDeleteLet's hope these new citizens of Singapore of Indian origin.
Let's hope they form a new political party for Singapore's GE 2020.
Let's hope they run against the PAP.
It is clear that Singaporean Opposition Parties are no match for PAP.
It's time we use Alien Talents to defeat the PAP in a General Elections.
100,000 new citizens is a credible voting bloc.
A Pro Alien Party versus a Pro Indian Party.
Who will win?
Should I vote for the traitors or the invaders?
Why is it that the Indians can use the Singapore Expo for a political activity.
ReplyDeleteBut Singaporeans are not allowed.

But Singaporeans already gave a strong mandate of 70% that this is okay.
What is missing is the legislation to make the discrimination against Singaporeans explicitly legal.
This will shut up redbean once and for all.
Sinkies can only ... clean up the mess after 100,000 nehs spit, shit, urine, and litter all over the place.

Are these the "good jobs" that PM Lee Hsien Loong say the Aliens will create for our Singaporean children?
Imagine your children and grandparents cleaning up the toilets after 100,000 Aliens have finished using them.
Aren't you glad you voted for PAP?
"Are foreign politicians allowed to campaign in Singapore"
ReplyDeleteForeigners can do anything they want in Singapore.
Only Singaporeans are not allowed ... must ask for permission first.
- don't believe me?
- ask Amos Yee.
If a foreigner calls LKY or LHL a motherfucker
- do you think he would receive the same type of punishment like Amos Yee?
