Below are the examples of provactive sentences.

But this system conceals several unacknowledged agendas.....

Of the top 30 GLCs only two (6.7%) were chaired by non-Chinese in 1991 (and neither of the non-Chinese was a Malay).....

According to the logic of meritocracy, that means the Chinese have been getting smarter, at least compared to the non-Chinese.....

This makes the selection process much more subjective than one would expect in a system that claims to be a meritocracy, and it creates ample opportunity for racial and other prejudices to operate with relative freedom....

The advertorial articles accompanying the paid advertisements featured only one non-Chinese scholar (a Malay on a lowly local scholarship) amongst 28 Chinese on prestigious overseas scholarships....

A Chinese woman has a much better chance of winning an SAF scholarship than a Malay man.....

By contrast, neither Indians nor Malays received any special help, let alone schools of their own to address their special needs. They were not only left to fend for themselves, but were sometimes subjected to wanton neglect: inadequately trained teachers, substandard facilities and resources and the knowledge that they are not as good as the Chinese.

As it happens, Singapore's Newspapers and Printing Presses Act does not cover the online version of the Review at www.feer.com, where, the Review tells us, it will do its best to make its October issue available free of charge to Singaporeans. In addition -- and free to all readers -- the Review is posting the disputed article, the Lees' court pleadings and its correspondence with the Lees' attorneys and the Ministry of Information.

Chinese people are just smarter and more entreprunial… Race doesnt play a factor in monetary and social contributions.

aRcTiC_sTaR SG

That's a contradiction already.

pinkish purple papayas SG

i mean, if u are smart, u do well and people will recommend you loh... will someone bring u down just because of ur race?

hisoka SG

those figures dun prove a thing. if they dun have the capabilities no one will give it to them.

let them write, thats not important. btw i think that should be more targeted for defamation than the chee thingy but guess its about politics Laughing

ditzy SG

If LKY and son didn't give that FEER article a 2nd glance, do you reckon FEER would be giving departing shots now? I don't think so lor. Laughing

pinkish purple papayas SG

i like LHL...

he became a brigader general at 32 years old. He is a very capable man. Can anyone else in Singapore rise so fast?

spinsugar SG

If their daddy was Lau Lee, I don't see why not.

The Editor of FEER need to attend Mass Media class to learn
reporting facts.He said:

Then the Singaporean Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts announced new conditions to be imposed immediately on the REVIEW, requiring us to appoint a legal representative in Singapore to accept lawsuits, and post a S$200,000 ($126,000) bond to ......

Correct me if I'm wrong.. I heard from my malay friend that they pay less school fees then me and my friends.. If call those not special help then what you call that? I think they better get their facts right or they will just get themselves fark up.

P.S. I think sometimes giving them some help here and there is ok.. But i think as long as you are capable you can be scholars.. Why not? they attend the same school as us? So what the fark they trying to say? I don't really get what they trying to bring up. I think they never do any research on this parts. They should just shut up on this part Mr. Green

ubuntu SG

In a way, FEER is right, but the root of the issue is the that for many Malays, the educational path has been through a separate system - through Madrasahs which are intrinsically weak in education.

Where they have gone through normal schools or good schools, they have done OK.

So perhaps the solution is to shut down the Madrasahs and bring Malays into an equivalent stream of education.

With regard to scholarship, aren't there also Malays who become scholars? would be interested to hear the facts here - anybody?

Lionnoisy is at it again, trying to incite hatred against anything non-Singaporean. He is as dangerous as any extremists..

lionnoisy SG

2.hey guys and girls .Feel free to comment if i am the one described
above.

I.M.ME SG

oei.. he gg to sue u for saying this..

if u think u can get a get a good and daring lawyer to defend (most probably foreign lawyer if u can get one), they will say foreign lawyers not allowed..

wisefool83 SG

Ok bah, I have never seen him brand name people who disagree with him. Unlike some other people that I've seen here who simply call other people mindless, stupid or naive as long as their views are different. At least Lionnoisy's arguments are backed by facts and figures. He also played down a lot on emotion and passion. I think if he uses the same method but says anti-pap stuff, nobody here would think that he's an extremist, but once he identify himself as a pap supporter, he has become the prime target for arrows. I have also seen people who argued for freedom of speech verbally abusing him for supporting pap, kind of ironic actually.
This forum is quite dominated by anti-pap people, but its good to let other views flow in.

ditzy SG

nonono, if they want to let other views in, there is always stomp.com.sg, st forums, and of course, the newly acquired HWZ forums. Laughing
