Is there a 'Chinese privilege' in Singapore? | Street Talk

Singapore broke off from Malaysia as a Chinese majority enclave during Tunku Abdul Rahman's (?) time, who was Malaysia's founding father. He was the first Chief Minister of the Federation of Malaya from 1955 to 1957.

That said, Singapore (ruled by ethnic Chinese) is a one party state essentially and tries to legitimize that by fostering western style equal rights for all citizens, i.e. Malaysians and Indian Tamils. But few Malaysians or Indians are in prominent places in Singapore Govt. anyhow.

Which is fine because a few hundred miles up the coast, Chinese have no place in Malaysian Govt. either (because Chinese are not Malay or "Bumiputra"). Govt, jobs in Malaysia are all reserved for Malays. Chinese run the industry and economy in Malaysia and for their contribution, Malaysia is such an advanced nation today. I wish we had Chinese folks in Bangladesh so we could have our country develop too. Maybe someday.

I know of one Indian ancestry Singaporean though, who is brilliant and I am a fan. Kishore Mahbubani.

Is there a 'Chinese privilege' in Singapore? | Street Talk

Interesting video but you didn't say much about it. I find this video good and bad. Bad that Singapore, that prides itself on being one of the greatest city states in the world, has discrimination issues. And good that the citizens, esp. Chinese are themselves aware of the problem.

GoS and numerous NGO are suppressing the Chinese in Singapore, amidst the backdrop of SIno-US show down. Many Singaporean Chinese are brainwashed into believing they are racists.

Nothing is further from truth. Chinese is best to Muslims, far better than Malaysia. WIthout the Chinese around, the Shia could be massacre.

 

[Song Hong]

The Chinese soul search too much, and many already got poisoned with western BLM thoughts. Also GoS has been neglecting history education to make Singaporeans stupid and unaware. Right now lots of Malays are going online to attack their Shia, and also attacking someone who are in favor or secularism and moderate Islam.

No one shamed the Malays and even to the points Malays went on Syria to kill Shia, GoS keep downplaying it interpreting as act of crackpot extremist.

Meanwhile every non issue of Chinese is extrapolate into racism. I always think Singapore will go to sht hole fast, because of anglo loving peranakan. It is coming true very fast.

Chinese never make troubles in other countries, we have inherent peace loving nature which is the most important part of Confucius values.

Singapore today is world champion accuser of Chinese as racist, all stage by government media. Everyone accuse SAP schools ( quasiChinese schools) of racists because few minorities enrol (they cant bothered to study Chinese). When SAP schools are doing well, they accuse Chinese prevent minorities from enrolling. Singapore media keep stirring such sht.

And Singapore Chinese pay a price for Anglicizing their children. Their mind are now toxic and they really think they are racists.

Meanwhile GoS is on concerted campaign to rally malays and Indians against Chinese. Media hyped up minorities fake grievances. For example GoS media keep attacking Chinese for a brownface ad, accusing Chinese of racists.

Minorities stir stir stir.

GoS then reproach Chinese for "insensitve" and racism. Many Chinese got brainwashed. You never see GoS in such narrative when Malays are going to Syria to kill Shia.

Singapore advertisement sparks 'brownface' controversy | CNN

An ethnically Chinese actor who allegedly darkened his skin to portray characters of different races in an advertisement has sparked a "brownface" controversy in multi-ethnic Singapore.

Not surprising, that's because Malays and Indians make up around 10% of the population each while Chinese make up an overwhelming 75% of the population.

Anyway the minorities do hold key positions, token or not.

After the swearing-in, I posted a picture on Instagram of myself, President Halimah and Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon. A Chinese, a Malay, and an Indian - only in Singapore. During the F1, one international visitor from Brazil saw the picture and commented on it. He said it was most amazing what we have in Singapore. He could not imagine it happening anywhere else.

And at one point of time many Singaporeans hoped to see Tharman, an Indian Singaporean who is capable, experienced and eloquent, to succeed as the next PM.

Singapore government should be ashame that Singapore media paint Chinese as racists, despite all contrary evidence.

Chinese even assimilate well as Muslims when UMNO type of people are not around.

GoS is a liar.

Thanks Brother, I have immense respect for educated people in Singapore, especially people running consulting firms and development partner firms whom I had the good fortune to interact with. Being in the same boat as us at most fifty years ago, they understand our point of view and development predicament much better than say, Western or Australian consultants.

Our new Dhaka airport terminal design was developed by a Malaysian lady in a S'pore architectural firm (the same one who designed the new S'pore Changi airport 3rd terminal) which is only one of two dozen new Bangladeshi projects ongoing with S'porean firms.

There is a lot of interchange of expertise between S'pore and our country in terms of energy projects, which is the need of the hour right now, as we are growing. Some Bangladeshi companies are listed on the S'pore Exchange.

We are converting a lot of open land around Dhaka into HDB type housing flats for lower middle and middle class housing. Singaporean HDB planning is a great example in this regard. I know a lot of the relationship is paid, but we know who does things best.

The metro rail transport and expressways are also looking similar. But it is still early days.

On weekly basis nowadays, GoS will ask newspaper scandalized Chinese as racists. Mixed marriage is GoS favorite and Chinese is being portray as racists against mixed marriage. Newspapers in Singapore is now creating synthesizing hatred between Chinese and minorities. Singapore will soon be Lebanon. There will be civil war soon. GoS hate racial harmony.

Reality is Chinese girls prefer white man or even black man far more than Chinese man, according to all research.

Singapore government is a wretch and lowest sort of maggots.

My mixed-race children and I have been subjected to racist remarks. How can we do better, Singapore?

Let’s stop pretending that racism in Singapore is a new or nascent problem.

If low class uneducated people on the street pass these remarks, then only thing Govt. of Singapore can do is educate them about racial equality. It cannot muzzle them or stop them from passing hurtful comments by dictum or by passing laws. Although initial harsh penalties may work to set publicizing examples. But that is all GoS can do.

Comes with the territory I guess. My sincere best wishes to the brave couple above who decided to brave these tremendous odds for love. May their union and family live long and prosper. Things hopefully will change for the better.

Problem is far more acute in other homogenous countries, even Japan and Korea, though they are polite enough not to verbalize it (especially Japan). I myself know many Bangladeshi Guys married to Japanese, Korean, Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian and even Vietnamese women, though racial diversity problem in Bangladesh is not any less acute.

We don't have systemic racism in Bangladesh, though we have other issues. No one in Bangladesh would have problems with Singaporean or Vietnamese husband/wife, though it would be kind of an unusual culture shock initially. Bangladeshis take a lot of positive interest in foreign people generally.

We Asians need lessons on living in true racial harmony and need to appreciate each other's culture a lot more. No Asian has "incompatible" stamped on their forehead and no Asian should be perceived as such. If Asia needs to be as great as Europe, then it collectively and societally needs to reject these hackneyed racial stereotypes and accept 'differences in people' (appearances, culture, languages, skin tone) with open hearts and employ talents of each type of Asian, and not just from ASEAN region itself.

It is up to the new Y generation in Asia to uphold these open values, otherwise Asia as a collective entity cannot enjoy true greatness.

GoS is setting the stage and setting the political correctness for widespread Chinese bashing, and minorities victimhood, in emulation of western style BLM.

All western politically correctness are funded by Oligarch and they unanimously pursue a vision or perversion, racial warfare, to divert people from socialism. You can only preach "blacks be discrimiated, gay be discriminated". On the other hand, any successful leaders who preach "workers being discriminated" will be quickly murdered.

I believe GoS is using race to distract people from wealth gap. In addition there could be an element whereby the west want to suppress Chinese in Singapore.

Nonsense
SG is the best example where different races live in harmony.
Landing at Singapore the first visible sign I see is cleanliness and different customs, immigration officers and servants from different colors. many of indian and malay ethnics.

 

[Song Hong]

In all these GoS funded mixed marriage anti Chinese reports, it is always a Chinese girl with non Chinese bride. With Muslim, the Chinese girl must put on hijab, showing off herself has forgoing all Chinese culture.

Then the Chinese parents will be presented as a clown and bigots that oppose the love birds.

There is never a showing glorifying Malay bride or groom leaving Islam and embracing confucius. This is now sacrilege in Singapore.

In short, GoS is creating a anti Chinese ambient, glorifying the divisive part of Islam, and that even most Muslims female elite has forgo (Malaysia/ Egypt/ Indon...etc female Muslims seldom hijab)

Minorities in Singapore now hate Chinese in no small part due to GoS spreading hatred.
