To all Singapore Leaders,
Let's face it squarely.
The
main reason why Singapore got kicked out of Malaysia was because of
race. The Malaysian central government, under the Tengku at that time,
especially the Ultra Malay section, did not want the Singapore Chinese
population to dilute and overpower the Malay Majority they have at that
time.
Therefore, in the first place, Singapore's independence was based on Race.
The
reason why Race, Language and Religion were banned from any national
discourse in Singapore was because the LKY government knew that these
taboo subjects would spark racial and religious problems, unnecessary
troubles, ethnic tensions, destructive conflicts and deadly riots if
allowed to go out of hand. All it needed was an instigation to motivate
and mobilise the different ethnic groups to start racial or religious
tensions and conflicts.
Singapore is a rule-based society. In a
democracy the rules are being set by the majority. The Chinese Majority,
being a sympathetic, compassionate and reasonable people of Singapore,
have kindly and readily catered for some special privileges to the
minority groups so as to make them happy.
Importantly, such privileges must not be allowed to stretch too far, until they become unreasonable and problematic.
Understandably,
such privileged groups should not be allowed to amass sufficient power
to overwhelm, override and overthrow the existing racial, political and
power balance that gave rise to racial harmony, stability and
prosperity. Otherwise, in our tiny congested and competitive society,
chaos and strives will be the names of the game, the survival game.
We
have enjoyed harmony, stability and prosperity for the last 55 years
mainly because of the compromise our Chinese Majority have strike with
the minority groups. And it works. Things will not be the same, once any
of the other ethnic groups become the majority. Especially so if
caste-oriented people are allowed to form a critical mass, and are able
to call the shots, and subsequently able to wrestle control of the
country from the hands of the Chinese Majority.
When new
citizens and permanent residents (especially those originated from South
Asia) overwhelmed the Chinese Majority, that is the time the Chinese
Majority will lose its political clout and, along with it, its political
base and political power.
When that happened, the Chinese
Majority would have already become a Minority and logically they can
kiss their children's future good bye.
Who wants that to happen?
Think.

Singapore today severely need the wisdom of the first generation PAP leaders.
ReplyDeleteToday, the tiny city state is on a disastrous path run by mediocre mini-LKYs who gave excuses such as: "Unfortunately, we do not have the luxury of the benefit of hindsight."
Pray PM Lee stays in power. If he is ousted, The Ah Seng, Ah Kung and Ah Kiat would also be ousted. They are no match to the powers to be.
ReplyDeleteWould the new power holders be kind to the familee or would they take down the familee for good?
There are things that can be said. There are things that cannot be said.
ReplyDeleteWhat is very clear is that all the players are aware of what is happening. The question is which side they are in and are they happy with the impending change and how their fortunes would be affected.
For the ordinary Singaporeans, their fate have been sealed, some for the better, many for the worse.
The founding fathers were fighting for independence.
ReplyDeleteToday, it is fighting to be dependence.
The pioneers were working to become the first world. Their role models were the USA and Europe.
ReplyDeleteToday, they are working to become the third world. Their role model is India. Can you imagine there are crazy people adoring everything India and want to be India?
Their heads filled with shits.
Presidency Post Okay Lah, But Premiership Better Leh. Why Hah?
ReplyDeleteThe Minorities seem to be very unhappy because they cannot become Prime Minister.
All this while, over the last 55 years, the Minorities have held the Office of the President five times out of eight Presidencies. The Chinese Majority has only held three Presidencies. And yet the Minorities are still not happy. In effect, over the last few years, they have been earnestly, repeatedly, rigorously and persistently pushing for the Prime Minister to be a non-Chinese, and some of them even recommended that Hsien Loong steps down and make way for Tharman to be the next PM. (Isn't this smacks of Racism?).
List of Singapore’s Presidents:
9 August 1965 – 23 November 1970: Yusof bin Ishak (appointed as Yang Di-Pertuan Negara or Head of State in 1959 and later reappointed as the First President on Singapore's Independence Day in 1965. He passed away in office during his 2nd 4-year term as President).
2 January 1971 – 12 May 1981: Benjamin Henry Sheares (appointed for 3 terms of 4 years each but did not complete the 3rd term because he passed away in office).
24 October 1981 – 28 March 1985: Devan Nair (appointed for only one term of 4 years).
2 September 1985 – 1 September 1993: Wee Kim Wee (appointed for 2 terms of 4 years each).
1 September 1993 – 31 August 1999: Ong Teng Cheong (elected, served only one term of six years).
1 September 1999–31 August 2011: S. R. Nathan (uncontested, walked over, for 2 terms of six years each).
1 September 2011–31 August 2017: Tony Tan Keng Yam (elected for one term of six years).
14 September 2017–: Halimah Yacob (Indian by birth but accepted by a special committee as a Malay for the purpose of eligibility to contest the Presidential Elections reserved for the Malays. Uncontested, walked over, as the other presidential candidates were deemed unqualified by the special Committee because of new limitations imposed).
Isn't this "Reserved for Malays-Only" Presidency also smacks of Racism?
So, the Minorities wish that their dreams to have a Prime Minister from their respective races will happen in earnest.
How to happen when our present leadership says that Singapore citizens are not ready to have a non-Chinese as the PM?
With the help of some of the Bananas, either knowingly or unknowingly, the Indian Minority have managed to hold numerous key, critical and top positions in both the public and private sectors. Owing to that they are able to make smooth, speedy and steady headways to increase their population rapidly and significantly over time, from 3% to about 10%, while the Malay Minority population remains stagnant at about 12% and the Chinese Majority population decreased significantly from about 84% to about 75%.
Also with the help of the Bananas, CECA was signed with India some 15 years ago. This allows for free transfer of human traffic from India to Singapore for jobs of 217 different occupations. Many of these people become permanent residents and new citizens, together with a long string of their respective immediate families plus their parents and in-laws.
Can you imagine how many people can be transferred from India to Singapore for just one CECA candidate?
And their dependents are allowed to take up regular jobs, to compete with Singaporeans who are jobless. How can they be called "dependents" when they are having regular jobs and are financially independent?
To cut the long story short, these CECA Indians, together with those others on work passes and work permits, have grown to some 2 to 2.5 million people today. Together with the local Minority Groups, they can easily overwhelm the Chinese Singaporeans to form the Majority.
Can you see the danger they post to Singaporeans, especially the Chinese Singaporeans?
Stop sleeping and dreaming, start thinking and act.

Are there 2 plans plotted for PM succession ? - one by the party committee, the other by gang of <9% minorities ?
ReplyDeleteSo far haven't heard the views of Tan Cheng Bock. Where is he ?
ReplyDeleteI am worried for the familee. No one today can hold the fort and the next PM will turn Singapore upside down.
ReplyDeleteThe racial balance of Singapore would become unrecognisable and Singapore would be done for good.
The danger is Lee Hsien Loong may be prematurely "asked" to step down or step sideways and let the most powerful amongst the present Cabinet Members to steer the sinking ship on his behalf.
ReplyDeleteOr worse, he may have already become a puppet tied to the strings and manipulated by the puppet-master behind the curtains.
This may be true. If not, why are so many silly decisions being made that are totally bizarre and no one to stop them?
ReplyDeleteNo one dares to cancel the CECA.
ReplyDeleteNo one dares to stop the rot in the SGX.
No one dares to close the door to high risk countries.
No one dares to stop the influx of foreigners.
No one dares to stop the discrimination against Singaporeans in good jobs.
No one dares to use China vaccines or to buy more Chinese vaccines after the initial purchase.
"No one dares to cancel the CECA."
ReplyDeletebecause:
[1] India have said they will sue
[2] More than USD100 billion already invested in India held hostage
[3] u know i know . .
We will nationalise all your investments if you don't let Indians into your country to work and to buy up properties.
ReplyDeleteBefore you know it, they would have bought out all the condos in the island, starting from the East.
Pay back time for stupidity has no cure.
Please do not be racists and create disharmony in this little red dot. If the CECA imports become citizens, then they are Singaporeans. So no difference from any other citizens, true blue or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteWake up! Are you so daft that you have eyes but can't see, have brain but can't think?
DeleteThere is a HUGE Difference! Your stupidity cannot cure or what?
DeleteMore CECA Indians become new citizens means the Indian population becomes bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and Biggest. Until all other ethnic groups become minority to them.
So far, they are already hold too many top posts and in control of many aspects of our country, disproportionately!
It looks like there is a deliberate plan to increase their numbers. Why? For what purpose?
To help India to take over Singapore, of course. Don't you think so? Can't you see that?
That is called INVASION without firing a single shot.
ReplyDeleteSun Tze said,
"The Supreme art of war is to conquer your enemy without fighting.
The next best is through alliance.
The third is using diplomacy."
Singapore is like a low hanging fruit ripe for them to pluck.
ReplyDeleteIn politics there is this formula called proportional representation. The bigger the population, the bigger the representation. That was why Mahathir forced many Malaysian Chinese out of Malaysia and import many Indonesians as well as increasing the reproduction of Malays. The Malays are now the absolute majority in Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteSingapore has a Chinese majority. If this majority is dwindled down and the Chinese becomes a minority, thanks to the imbeciles, then the next majority racial group will call the shot.
This is PS 101.
LAWRENCE WONG ON RACE
ReplyDeleteAfter weeks of drift and despair, this was a speech we needed to hear. There is still some way for the establishment to go — but then it wouldn’t be called the establishment if it were capable of radical quantum leaps.
Here is what I liked:
1. At last, a PAP leader expressed empathy for the lived experience of minorities, and asked the majority to be more sensitive: “So, it is important for the majority community in Singapore to do its part, and be sensitive to and conscious of the needs of minorities. This cuts across all aspects of daily life. It matters to someone who faces discrimination when looking for a job. It matters when someone feels left out when everyone else in a group speaks in a language that not all can understand. It matters to potential tenants who learn that landlords do not prefer their race. It matters to our students, neighbours, co-workers and friends who have to deal with stereotypes about their race, or insensitive comments.” The most universal and everyday of racial exclusions is the use of Chinese in work and social settings, so it was especially significant that the minister mentioned this. (Today and ST dropped this from their news reports, while CNA paraphrased the quote, which is why I've reproduced it above.)
2. While an announcement of policy changes was never on the cards for this occasion, the minister said more than once that all race-related policies, from the GRC system to HDB quotas, were open for discussion and periodic review. Is this enough? Well, if he does not have strong convictions that the PAP is more right than wrong, he would not be a PAP leader. That said, he was not excessively defensive, and showed a receptiveness to other points of view, especially in the Q&A.
3. He found a palatable way to urge minorities and antiracists to be patient if fellow Singaporeans still don’t get it. Too many establishment types – oddly obsessed with American culture wars and sounding as hysterical as Fox News – have been talking as if antiracists are a greater threat to Singapore than racists. Wong did none of that. He just made the reasonable point that if we are all in this together, we can’t leave behind Singaporeans for whom antiracist discourse is very new and alien. Call out racism. But play the ball, not the man. It reminds me of what a liberal Dutch cartoonist told me about why he chooses not to take cheap shots at the Right by, for example, comparing them to Nazis: “You can’t open someone’s eyes by slapping his face.”
ReplyDelete4. While he appealed for care in the choice of means, he did not fudge about the ends: Singapore must be more equal. This wasn’t like the PAP’s atrocious split-the-difference approach to gay rights: liberals want this, conservatives want that, so let’s keep 377A but not actively enforce it. No, at no point did Wong suggest that racists and others who are comfortable with the status quo should be allowed to set the agenda. Racial equality is non-negotiable.
5. Wong made it clear that he welcomes civil society engagement on this issue. This is important because there are things that could be done for which we can’t expect the PAP to be at the cutting edge. Before the speech, I told myself that I’d give Wong an 8/10 if he announced an independent race commission to look deeply and holistically at this issue. I was not surprised he didn’t. But I was very happy that NTU sociologist Laavanya Kathiravelu, speaking on the IPS panel immediately after Wong’s session, proposed exactly this. It wasn’t picked up by the moderator for further discussion. But this is something that civil society should explore.
I’ve written (in PAP v PAP, co-authored with Donald Low) that the PAP also needs to review the LKY legacy and publicly disavow his more questionable statements about race. Realistically, though, for current PAP leaders to do so would be like the Chinese Communist Party taking Mao’s portrait down from Tiananmen next week when it celebrates its 100th birthday. We’d have to wait for a 5G or 6G PAP leadership to go anywhere near there.
What we can reasonably demand of 4G is that the PAP exercise better moral leadership on race. In 2019, Sudhir Vadaketh declared in a vodcast that he could no longer trust politicians to lead us on race. The problems that led him to this conclusion are probably still present. Major political movements, like religions, contain multiple conflicting tendencies. On Friday, Wong showed a side of the PAP leadership that many can get behind, or at least work with. Time will tell if it prevails.
