this cracked me up.. stolen from CNA:
SINGAPORE: Former Singapore politician and diplomat Lee Khoon
Choy said the country's younger generation of Chinese do not know
their roots.
Launching his new book, Mr Lee observed many young Singaporeans
do not know where they came from and can't speak the language
well.
The book titled 'The Golden Dragon and Purple Phoenix' looks at
multi-ethnic descendants of Chinese immigrants in Southeast
Asia.
It studies the impact of intermarriage between Chinese
immigrants and natives.
Mr Lee noted some Chinese have forgotten their heritage when
they assimilate in their adopted country.
Mr Lee said: "I have asked so many young people where you are
from. (They say) I'm Hokkien. (When I ask) which part of Hokkien
(Fujian), is it Xiamen or Quanzhou? They don't know."
The 89-year-old believes it is important for Singaporean Chinese
to study the language at an early age. - CNA/fa
