Yes..........this is veri true. No matter wad race ppls, people
tend to favour and feel at ease with individuals that can speak
their own langguage or noe their culture. Just like at NTU,NUS we
see students of a particular nationality crowding together. Bcos
they share the same langguage and have more common grounds for
discussion.
As for Mr Yao........bro u got it wrong again. When Singapore
became independent, we choose english as a working langguage and
the ethnical langguages as official langguage..........Bcos we have
a other races to factor in too. If u chose Chinese, other race will
feel discriminated and outcasted. This also go against the founding
principles of Singapore, "regardless of race, langguage or
religion", that also the reason why we left Malaysia Federation. As
the UMNO then believe in "Malaysia Malay".
I noe this is a little hard for u to understand as China is made up
of predominantly Han ppls which stands around 91%. Eventhough there
are other ethnic minorities, they are largely "sinotized".
