Fully agree. need to make the diff between citizenship and race.
Also, it is what others see us, not what we claim ourselves to be.
Give up Singapore citizenship and migrate to US, you are then not
singaporean anymore. I don't know what the yankee will call you but
yr children will be known as ABC.
Not many singaporean want to admit many of us are banana!
Many may want to think they are citizen of the world, but don't use
singapore passport then they don't go anywhere outside
singapore!!If the world don't recognise them as citizen then their
self-proclaimed world citizenship has no meaning.
The world want to know about islam because of 9/11, want to learn
about Chinese because of the 1.3 millions are coming out into the
world. The Malays in Singapore are explaining and showing the world
that Islam is not terrorism. While recognising the importance of
China, the HK chinese make sure that people know they are different
from those Chinese in Guangzhou, even though both speak the same
cantonese. Of course the loud mouth Taiwanese also make sure that
they are not mistaken as mainland chinese. Unfortunately many
Singaporean are not even able to tell the difference between
Chinese singaporean and Mainland Chinese, to the extent of feeling
that may be chinese singaporean are not chinese at all.
