Fault lines of Singapore: Is color revolution looming?

[Song Hong]

Based on a survey of about 4,000 citizens and permanent residents last year, the study noted that about a third of the respondents identified race and religion as having the potential to result in violence in Singapore if not managed properly - significantly more so than class, immigration and LGBT issues.

Yet only about a quarter tied race and religion to trust in the state and politicians, compared with almost 40 per cent who said trust levels in the Government would likely fall if class and immigration issues are mismanaged.

Close to half of both younger and older respondents felt there should be more state involvement in immigration, reflecting possible higher levels of xenophobia and job insecurity in recent times, regardless of age, said the researchers.

Singaore chinese need to work on racism. What i am hearing is not good. I think a new model is required for singapore now.

 

[Menthol]

Have more government involvement....

Does it mean communism? Authoritarian?

Authoritarian is not a bad thing if it's done right.

It's the fastest way to get everyone prosperous and advanced.


Remember, if it's done right...

The core of Malay and Indian nationalism is creating Chinese enemy.

Being the majority and controlling the polity it is really on chinese singaporeans to show that they are capable of being fair minded. My understanding is the prosperity of singapore created a sense of entitlement among poorer chinese and resentment when they see foreign PR (especially indians) getting successful. The racist mind cant grasp how they can be more successful than them in their own country and creating bitterness to races and to their own government in general.
Ofcourse the ideal solutions is every country getting as developed as singapore then there wont be an net migration to singapore. But thats far off especially in poorly run and frankly wicked societies like India with all its caste system. so singapore like USA or Dubai has the advantage of tapping in ready made talent from these lands and this is creating issues among poorer chinese singaporeasn and poorer singaporeans in general.

There can't be a revolution in Singapore. Police will prohibit it.

Singaporean minorities hold appalling level of hatred against Chinese -- and perhaps the entire world. Since 2002, over 130 individuals found to have been involved in terrorism -- not an insignificant number for a small country.

Some have been fighting under ISIS, killing many Muslims.

Some have plotted to bomb Singapore, despite receiving no injury from anyone.

Singapore really? that country is a first world nation I guess the issue is more ethnic and class disparity between Malays,Chinese,and South Asians

"appalling level of hatred against Chinese -- and perhaps the entire world"

Lol what nonsense. Our minorities prefer ethnic Chinese immigration into Singapore over their own races, and almost 9 out of 10 of them are comfortable if their children date a Chinese.

You aren't even a Singaporean. Why are you cherry-picking information and spreading misinformation here to divide Singaporeans among ethnic lines?

Singapore had a mini HK style riots in 2013, when an inebriated Indian fell and knocked down by a bus. He was dead and very much responsible for his own demise. Nevertheless, hundreds of Indian nationals immediately started attacking, burning, and accusing Chinese racists for murdering.

Many Indians cursed Singaporean Chinese.
