Singapore Chinese population on the decline?

Gordonator SG

Looking at the people around me, I find that more and more Chinese Singaporean are staying single. even for those married, they tend to have only 1 or 2 children, some even don't intend to have children at all.

On the other hand, Malay families tend to have many children, usually 3, 4 or even more. With these in mind, won't Singapore Chinese population will be declining very soon in the future?

Do u all feel the same way too? feel free to comment.

dragg SG

look at the number of mainland chinese around you and the answer is obvious.

FireIce SG

indeed, the trend is so.
chinese population gradually declining over the yrs......
u see a slight bump oni in the year of the dragon.

and those import one no count lah!

NewAge SG

Such a situation is forseenable. The gov can do nothing about it unless they take some drastic measure like Ns men that is still childless by 30 will have their reservist extended by 2 yr for every year they remain childless.

LazerLordz SG

Doesn’t really concern me..

lifeisgood9989 SG

ya, maybe in the yrs to come, the malay population will decline too. the chinese may have the mindset that having too many children will cause them more burden instead, that is y dey are generally more well off too.

Gordonator SG

foreigners not counted. unless they convert to singaporean.

Chelzea SG

i dont think the govt worry about this. Just top up the shortfall by giving out more PRs and citizenships lor.

sgheartland SG

No point having a lot of children and not being able to raise them up properly.

Gunyandao SG

nowadays a lot of jobs requires intensive regional travelling

maybe in singapore status is single with no kids.
but they could be establishing their various manufacturing lines in lower cost countries.

many chinese couples feel one is enuf. most cite stressful education system n high expenses. plus time no enuf as gotta work long hrs or travel. once, this malay cabbie spoke about buying canned food by the dozens from rochor rd as it is cheaper. he then said tt the malays see each child as god's gift n so having many kids is like receiving alot of blessings. all he wants is see his kids grow up.

only single digit : the number of chinese couples i noe who have more than 2 kids. BUT chinese couples with 1 kid or childless : in the tens.

The malay population is rapidly increasing..true, but they are a bunch of dumb f*ck people. I've come across many malay families where the dad is either jobless or a lowly-paid worker (many who are ex-convicts) and the mom is a full-time housewife. Most of the time, they're uneducated and they don't even know what a simple investment is.

They can't even speak english; including the kids. What a disgrace. My 90yo grandma could speak better english than 'em and yes, she knows what investments are all about; albeit in general.

If so, where do they find the money to support the whole family with only the dad being the sole breadwinner?

that's why I say they do not have the means, yet they're so stubborn.

i wonder what their children will grow up to become.

most probably those low-class mats and minahs.
oh.. did i say they're a bunch of good-for-nothings wasting the earth's natural resources?

of coursel I do not stereotype. I do not mean all the malays. I've got some pretty good malay friends and they're awesome; educated, friendly...overall v. nice people.

^reality SG

And whats wrong with not being able to speak english and not knowing about investments? My parents can’t speak english and doesn’t know aout investments too. Are they wasting earth’s natural resources in ur eyes? What’s important is that you can make an honest living. Whether you are a disgrace or not doesn’t depend on the languages you speak, how well-off you are etc. As long as you can raise your family through honest work, and fulfil your responsiblities to your family, I would think you have done pretty well.

trendz SG

the mentality is for all to see.

sad sods.

what's wrong with not being able to speak english?
here; i tell you.

you wouldn't be able to communicate well... much less mentioning your articulation.
ie. you wouldn't be able to convey your messages across clearly.
and of course; foreigners and expats would have great difficulties in understanding your 'excellent Singlish'.

English is THE international language. Even the PRCs are picking it up.

btw, ya talkin abt fulfilling responsiblities? You are not even able to support yourself; much less your family. So why the hell did you even wanna f*ck time and again and pop out 4 or 5 kids? Do they ever think of the consequences? You call this fulfilling your responsiblity? Use your brain alright?

i digress.

Records have shown fights/riots or even lil' troubles/arguements, etc are caused by the 'em. Read terrorism.

Honest living? Think again. at least 50% of drug-abusers are malays and that's a fact. Read Malaysia. Robberies, and stuff.

a lil' spark will cause an uproar regarding caricatures of a holy figure. But then again, which bloody sh*t actually condone violence in order to make a stand?
what a digrace!

and yes.. i see lots of useless good-for-nothing mats and minahs out on the streets portraying their fashion flop statements. Think yellow polo tee and green jeans. OMG! What a laughing stock! haha. No wonder they're the worst- dressed among the lot.

They think pork is dirty and smelly; but the chinese eats pork; therefore they said the chinese are dirty and smelly.

You eat chinese food in a malay (sector) of a hawker centre, the malay hawkers would throw away the bowls of the Chinese hawker. (because it has pork and is dirty and smelly.)

They view indians as 'bangalas' who are dirty and smelly too and they think they are the most prim and proper.

You call this racial harmony? It's just a smokescreen; don't be fooled.
Natural law states that humans are selfish. (Look up on 'Thomas Hobbes')

and which bloody crap sh*t teaches you to kill all who ain't islam? who bloody copies (similarly) to the bible? Which bloody sh*t teaches you that one day, the whole world must be of one religion?

oh, gettin' a lil' 'nostalgic'.. no wonder v. few actually got promoted in NS. and every single malay ain't allowed in one of the camp base (where there're high-end operation and secret and stuff). That's a rule we must conform to.

i'm not against muslims; but they're against the whole world, as if the whole world owes 'em a living. You know.. SG gives 'em special privileges and stuff...

in the end; it didn't work out too well. how sad.

vito_corleone SG

when you see kids turning out to be retarded eg. ah bengs... i'd rather see the population decline. Laughing

ShutterBug SG

I AGREE as I think, you have a point here.

But that's not our problem - it's our gov's problem; they made things turn out this way.

ShutterBug SG

Yes, I am looking at the number of China nationals here in SG; but right out of these horses mouths; THEY have NO Interntions to stay on! Yet, our gov ANGKAT them like there's no tomorrow... sigh.. sad...

And personally, I think NO THANKS, to their contributing their character type to our population!
