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.
