Our government has always been wise and full of wisdom to cater for the special and unique festive spirit of the three main ethnic groups of the Malays, Indians and the Chinese as well as the cosmopolitan group of Western religion followers in Christmas festivities in Orchard Road. Thus so the government has for decades encourage and support the Hari Raya celebrations in Geylang Serai, the Deepavali celebrations in Little India, the Chinese Lunar New Year or Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Moon Cake Festival in Chinatown and Christmas celebrations in Orchard Road. During these ethnic festivals there is always full of vibrancy with huge crowds of various races mingling to shop, dine and celebrate in Geylang Serai, Little India, China Town and Orchard Road.
Now some smart Alex try to steal some business away from Orchard Road during the Christmas festivities by organizing and decking up Christmas festivities and celebrations in Chinatown. Christmas festivities and celebrations in Chinatown is inappropriate as it hasn't got the natural spirit of the occasion. What if this same smart Alex tries to organize similar Hari Raya activities or Deepavali activities in Chinatown in future so as to lure away some business from Geylang Serai or Little India will it not inadvertently offend the sensitive feelings of the other ethnic groups. Similarly by organizing Christmas activities in Chinatown may it not also inadvertently hurt the sensitive cultural feelings of the Chinese ethnic group. It is a sort of trying to deculturalize the Chinese and their culture.
Hope the government will look into the matter and wisely advise whoever is the organizer of this unseeming event to stop this kind of inappropriate festivity at the wrong venue. Is it worthwhile to just earn a few dollars more at the expense of unforseen potential sensitive problems. The organizer should think proactively before undertaking such an event.
The above is written with good intention to forestall unforseen potential problems which the organizer may have foolishly overlooked.

The West wanted to promote their LGBTQ culture in Africa and were told not to try to tell the Africans what to follow and how to run their country. They told the Whites LGBTQ is not a priority for debating in Africa.
I am starting to believe that Asians are now beginning to follow the decadent Western influence.
Just came across this on the Jimmy Dore Show that revealed that Bayer had, a long time ago, 'knowingly' been selling 'HIV tainted' blood clotting medication to Asian and Latin American countries, after withdrawing them from USA and Europe. This is such an evil plot that only the Anglo Saxon clique have the conscience to carry out. Goes to show what other evil plot they have pulled off in the past that no one knows.
Maybe the Christmas joke should be extended to Geylang Serai and Little India, after a test run in Chinatown. And the 'Hallelujah' shout will be heard in every nook and corner of Red Dot.
The Chinese may not run amok, but the Muslims will not take this lying down. This is not a joke to them. Believe it and not try to push our luck too far.
