christian is not the "largest religion" in sg. and i also do not
think religion is the problem. can you explain why chinese new year
is not as elaborate as christmas, when chinese is the "largest
race", in your terms, in singapore.
its only because majority of singaporeans are influenced by the
west. and the west celebrates christmas. and so singaporeans
follow.
another factor, i think, is that christmas celebrations are
purposely made to be so elaborate. this is for the benefits of the
economy.shops tend to decorate, hold sales or promotions,if u
notice.
you also must not forget about the nature of singaporeans.
singaporeans dont like to lose out to each other. kiasu, in other
words. when they see this friend or relative of theirs giving
christmas gifts, they will tend to be paiseh if they dont give
back.
uhh sorry i wasnt talking about christianity, i know very well
that christianity is not the largest religion
