Dear Idiot:
Once again, you expose your lack of knowledge of other nationalities, and are basing your posts from your own point of view, which is myopic and selfish

Chinese citizens MIGRATE, but in their hearts, they have always that national spirit. All it takes is for China to have a crisis, and Chinese from all over the world will come back to help China.

If you are so narrow-minded in your thinking, let me relate you to history. When the Japanese attacked China, who helped China? Not the non-Chinese foreigners, but largely Chinese from all over the world. (Chinese who aren't PRCs included, inclusive of Singapore Chinese, [b]American Chinese, etc).

Pls stop making us laugh with your severe lack of knowledge and stupidity. I sincerely implore you to stop pretending to be a patriot and insult all true patriots here.[/b]

Laughing ask the Chinese in Singapore, especially those posting in this forum, if America attacks PRC, how many will go and help??

During WW2, the Chinese moved to SEA looking for a better living, they wasn't thinking of migrating to become Singaporean, or Malaysian, because these places were not existing as countries and there were no change of nationality. I am not sure about the Chinese in Thailand and the Philippines who appeared to assimilate very quickly. the Chinese in Malaya, Singapore, Indonesia remain Chinese, as a race, with their loyalty to Tangshan. They retained their chinese culture, built chinese schools, even the university, known as Nanyang University. They stayed together as Chinese under different clans or associations as such the Hokkian Association, they supported China as their own country. Even during the early days of Singapore, many chinese educated singaporeans were thought to be communists, loyal to the communists in China, never read singapore history?

chinese nationalism arised only these recent years together with the rise of PRC, as the economic powerhouse. You with chinese nationalism? or Singaporeanism? who are the true patriots here? those who are migrating, but with hearts in Singapore? don't make me laugh. Mr. Green

This is a very fair post. Salute.

Yes, we do not have a strong culture. Our ethnic culture, espcially Chinese, disappear with our western education; with the rise of PRC, we confuse our own chinese ethnic identity with PRC nationality; our Singaporean culture need a long time more to form in a multi racial society . we are bombarded with materialism and consumerism, nationalism hardly can raise its head, again, confusion between a Singaporean identity and a PAP supporter retard the progress of singapore nationalism. All these talk about migrating does not help in building up singapore nationalism.

The govt is largely to be blamed, not many people have the gut to admit like you do. We have our own problem, our love for 'a good life' at the expense of good moral value, our fear for instability drive many to vote blindly, our careless lifestyles is the reason why the government can blackmail us for speaking against them. Politics is dirty, it is naive for many to believe that the PAP would want to put the power on a silver plate and present to them. If PAP do that, I will migrate Embarassed Laughing

You know, this is becoming funnier and funnier not to mention more pathetic when Gazelle has to discuss his *ahem* history and preferences in a political forum for all to see...

Well, guess he should have kept his head and not resorted to personal attacks, but it's too late now. Now not only does nobody take he seriously, it seems even his more private aspects are under discussion (and parody) in here.

Is Gazelle sgforums' NYP-style scandal?

soul_rage SG

I shall cut off the "Idiot" label since I believe you make more sense than Gazelle, though I tend to disagree with your stand

Its indeed true that people who are in other countries have their loyalty to China in the past. Even now, I believe that there are people like that.

Think about it, if China falls, then we will be a race without a motherland, which does not bode well for all Chinese across the world. But we are digressing off topic

In addition, I am also retracting my statement about you being unpatriotic, becoz I believe your previous statement about stealing from others, is made in negligence.

Either way, all I am nitpicking against you, is that your statement implies 100% of Singaporeans who emigrated are ungrateful people. Your statement CANNOT stand, so I have to disagree against it.

You also implied that 100% of Singaporeans who stay are patriotic. Again, I disagree.

soul_rage SG

That's why I believe that if the PAP continues to ignore the rising poor or disgruntled, they are digging their own graves

dynasties fall usually becoz the people become upset with the leaders.

right now, we aren't there yet though

Singapore is my homeland and would forever be my home. However PAP has reduced it to nothing more than a sweatshop. Introducing more and more policies that urges Singaporeans to do something for themselves, enforcing the fact the Singapore is not a "welfare state" while taking more and more from the people.

What the PAP is doing now sickens me. Please give me back my homeland PAP. Please let Singaporeans know the true meaning of "a sense of belonging". Please show us that the government really cares instead of being the blood sucking vampire that it is now.

We are Singaporeans, not PAPeans. Whatever we discuss here should be for the good of the nation, not the good of a single Party. Parties can disband for all I care, but the Nation's people must stick together when the time comes. That will mark the true worth of the Nation's identity... the Nation's pride.

How to have a sense of loyalty when people tell you...

"not happy, migrate lor... we will get more foreigners to come. this is PAP land, not yours... you are just the coolie... you should be thankful we let you earn your living, we can take it away one you know? Complain so much for what? Think so much for what? We want to push property prices up to benefit the rich, we want to raise our million dollars salaries, you also cannot do anything... so don't complain and work harder so we can suck more of your money..."

I pity the children of Singapore

You said it all!!! As it is now, I dont see unity among the people of Singapore. Many times, when others or I voice our concerns about how the country is run by the present ruling party, people are just so fearful that they stop us from talking about it. The only thing they say is mind your own business. For eg, my cousin who is also not happy with the way of the ruling party, stopped me from talking by saying nothing wrong, they are doing very well . . .. . . this is so hypocritical.

If the mindset of the people doesnt change, I am afraid there is nothing we can do to be united as one. People of Singapore though are full of grievances about the ruling party, majority of them are too timid, fearful, or too self centred to want to be united. Sad!!
