Inevitable erosion of values. The rape of capitalism has long destroyed the fabric of the Chinese community in SG, by replacing every god with the love of money. The day the Chinese culture here died was the day when every Chinese started speaking to his kid in english. It’s social and cultural imperialism, one that has infiltrated every system of thought including religion. Modern Christianity has become more individualistic and self serving as a result. The faith is inward looking rather than focused on serving your neighbour. The next group of Sinkies that will be impacted in similar ways are the Malays. The third generation has started to speak to their kids in english, following the footsteps of the newly rich, middle class Chinese who did this 20 years ago. It’s their turn now, to be nouveau riche, but you can’t serve two masters.
