Dear Fellow Singaporeans,
This is your future Prime Minister addressing you. Singapore is a
highly stratified society. We have been divided by race, language,
religion, wealth, health, educational levels and Income. We are
lucky that we are safe so far due to the tight balancing act we
have in our society. However, being always in a tight rope put us
constantly in a risky business.
I noticed a few posting with regards to racial divide in Schools as
well as the lessening of racial interaction among our breed.
Furthermore with more influx of Non-original Singaporean Chinese
and Indians, we have further polarised our society. Not to mention
that our current crazy PAP government is increasing our population
via emigration policies - targetiong at 8 million people in
Singapore by 2008.
Therefore it is with urgency that we cannot continue to see
ourselves as Chinese, Indian or Malay. It is impossible. We are no
longer the same as them. We are now Singaporeans.
The recent government action to reduce the intensity to learn
Mandarin and Chinese seems to be in the right direction.
In order to ensure that our society could see our fellow citizens
not in skin colur, race, religion or language, we have to remove
the consciousness of our racial divide and identity.
I urged the authorities to remove race as a necessity in any
official forms or identification. There will be no description of
race in our IC or birth certificates.
When I become your PM, I will make it illegal to even mention race
as a description. There will be no other race than being
Singaporean. By then we will have a substantial biological
Singaporean with genes from the Far East, the Atlantic and
Southeast Asian, hopefully with some European blood.
The removal of our racial consciousness is the only way we become
fully Singaporean. We have to do so now. The only people who can
continue to identify themselves in their racial terms are
non-citizens ie foreigners or new citizens. We can then teach them
to how to remove that description about themselves when they want
to become a Singaporean.
So from today- please support this petition to get our government
to remove race from our IC, birth certificate, any records and any
forms.
Support the new breed: "Singaporean"
Cheers!
Have a good weekend
Your Future Prime Minister
Relevation,
Currently unhappily being identified as Chinese
with no relationship with China other than through my grand
parents.
