I believe that this is a topic that is not only brought up by me
but also by many fellow Singaporeans. Somehow I felt that this
topic has been avoided.
Our government puts strong emphasis on bringing in foreign
talents to make up for our declining birth rates over the years. I
support this effort. But it seems the government has portrayed
such a movement to be the high influx of Bengali workers.
What sort of culture is our government promoting?
A culture where we have 'peaceful' weekend of staring at people
altogether?
I remember there was this 'staring' incident about a decade ago
that resulted in gang fights. And thus, from there, the government
actually discouraged such 'staring' incidents.
Maybe the 'staring' from the Bengalis are a in a different form.
But there doesn't seem to be anyone discouraging them. And such
group of people gathered in groups near shopping centres, MRT
stations, wandering about, and of course, staring.
What about the term 'illegal gathering'? It somehow seems to be
not there anymore?
The government also encourages more people to get married to
establish families, to have kids. Weekends and public holidays are
supposed to be family days. With so many Bengalis gathering at
these public places where families used to gather, will the
government be still be able to promote more birth rates?
Why is the government somehow promoting the presence of Bengalis
instead? Why are we encouraging their disturbingly cheeky
behaviour? Why are we having such foreigners squeezing up in
supermarkets, purchasing just 1or 2 items in their baskets? Why are
we having television programs telling us to understand these
Bengali workers and their behaviours? Why must such education be
brought to us and not to them, if the government intend to avoid
their increasing presence? Isn't the government concerned
about social imbalance?
