It will take newly immigrant at least 2 generation to
assumilate, as such even the 1st generation immigrant that
eventually settledown in Singapore will not be able to embrace 100%
of the city state, cause of historical reference are so
different.
In a way the influx of newly chinese immigrant is an awakening for
singaporean to realized the different beyond skin deep and race.
Same race, but think differently. Adjustment will have to be made
for both, I think the women who choose to stay on and settledown
like married tend not to move beyond Singapore. Men who are more
ambition maynot stay on. The following generation will take
roots.
while at the mean time, adjustment period r always not easy.
