overseas chinese refer to themselves as 'people of the tang (dynasty)' but sometimes 'people of the han (dynasty).

Migrants from South China are more likely to use Tang, but it means the same thing anyway.

Nice, Chinese-Dragon has visited Singapore. Knows about 7-11 and Straits times. Can you tell me the most popular free newspaper in Singapore? Its pretty easy for you to miss this out on your visit Chinese-Dragon.

LOL, learn to read. He was asking you to look at TODAY's edition of the Straits Times, at the classified ads section.

Khalapur rave party: 5 out of 290 detained arrested - Mumbai - DNA

The straight answer would be no, the 1st generation Chinese like my granddad did but we are third generation though we do have relatives in china. Being Chinese however there will always be a form of kinship and connection thru similar cultures etc

Yes, you guys have your own country. It is right that your loyalty should be towards your country of citizenship, not your country of ethnic origin.

But it's nice to have the cultural links too.

Greenert announced that Singapore has offered to host the U.S. Navy’s shore-hugging littoral combat ships. Singapore also has erected a facility that will allow an American nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to dock there, the chief of naval operations said.

Most of the deployed American naval ships are operating in the Asia-Pacific, and that will continue going forward, Greenert said.

Great looking girls but I think only the middle one and the one on the right are Indians? The rest look European.

Well said buddy.

Nakki Nair loves to bash Chinese people, but he keeps forgetting that the country he is living in (Singapore) is majority ethnic Chinese.

I think chinese jingoists will be disappointed to know that Singapore has nothing chinese about it ---- Even the name of the country Singapore has "Indian origins" ... Singapore means (Singh = Lion, and Pore = place / town) .. in Hindi.

Yes, there is a china town, as there is a Little India. Diwali is a national holiday in Singapore.

Ya i know sinha means lion and its sanskirt word that is true

The English language name Singapore comes from Malay Palembang Singapura meaning "Lion City," which was in turn derived from Tamil.[1] Singa comes from the Tamil word singam (சிங்கம&#3021, which means "lion". 'Oor (ஊர&#3021 in Tamil means "town" and is a common suffix in many Indian names of places. The Name is due to resemblance of Singapore map to a Lion's head [2]

Yes, the original inhabitants were Malays, hence the name.

However, when Singapore got independence, they were majority ethnic Chinese. And they still are today.
