I believe, that recently the government is trying to stir up
racial issues that are not there, so that singaporeans are divided
by race, and no one will take nationality as seriously
anymore.
For example, on of my good friends was invited to an Indian
community forum where K Shanmugam was present. One topic a citizen
brought up was that there is an unnecessary influx of Indian
nationals coming here and behaving horribly horribly.When a few
others suggested that not many Indians need to come here to work, K
Shanmugam flared up and said that if he were to restrict number of
Indians, there would only be too many Chinese people from China.
Then when the citizin pointed out that it is not a matter of race,
but of nationality, Law Minister had no answer.
Similarly, about the Amy Cheong issue (which was blow out of
proportion) K Shanmugam said that Singaporeans have deep fault
lines with racism, which is completely wrong.
So here is what I'm saying: Nowadays, Singaporeans are more united
than before, and race is not a dividing factor, but nationality is.
This is a big problem for our ministers, as if foreign "talents"
are not hired, they would lose out on a big money bomb.
Is it possible that they are stirring shit up about race just so
that people are not so anti-FT?
I am not sure, but if you can write a conspiracy article about it,
it would be awesome!
Nevertheless, what Amy said was minor. Very
minor. Once, when I was in Habbo (international site), there
was a lot of racist people there.
