Obviously 50 years of PAP propaganda has worked on you. Since you are fully subscribed to the same theory that the Chinese are key to SIN's survival, the rest should be very obvious to you too.
What is the corollary then? I shall touch on two schemes.
1. Unite the Chinese under one common language - Mandarin. Thru the language, they will discover their cultural roots to assert a collective identity. Otherwise, they will remain disparate, rootless and divisible. Thus the Speak Mandarin campaign.
2. SAP schools to provide steep induction into the language and culture. Elite schools exist already to provide top scholars to become the mandarins in the political and civil service. The SAP system is to turn them Chinese-proud; in short, Chinese chauvinists.
Without these defence mechanisms in place, imagine a strong Singapore UMNO in the future, able to rally the malays in strong affirmative actions. Together with loud strident siren voices up north with severe seductive racial undertones, where will the Singapore Chinese go?
Whether such a theory will die with the old man remains to be seen. One may not blame LKY entirely for his geopolitical beliefs, but he is nevertheless one who constantly plays up the race card. The man has a deep memory of what he went thru and the spite is still smarting after all these years after Merger, Malaysia and the Exit.
Hopefully, countries on both sides of the causeway will see new generations of leaders who are able to look far and stand above the differences and work together to ensure a symbiotic relations, instead of Singapore always talking abt leapfrogging the region and Asean.
You didn't quote me and just took one small portion of my post out like this. You were hoping i didn't reply?
You are wrong to force these riddiculous assumptions unto me that the pap propaganda has some how brainwashed me.
I have eyes to see and a brain to think and i know the situation up north and in this country. The malays up north get rich by using state laws that promote affirmative action for their race to get rich without even working hard for it. This is a fact of life, how do you get rich and your country becomes successful unless you work for it?
The malays live off the sweat and tears of the non malays there and that's how they get rich.
The troll mmvp has already admitted it himself. Using the guise of being non materialistic to hide the fact that he's simply lazy and his ppl love to take it easy. Well here's another fact of life. If you don't work hard the country will lag behind. Would you rather see the standards of sg fall behind then? When malaysia and indonesia catch up that's it for sg.
Even in malaysia it's apparent. When mathatter was in office he only allowed some malays to run a fortune 500 co that was bleeding cos the ppl were incompetent and all that was fixed after somebody else in charge put some chinese ppl to turn the co around. Sg's track record has been fine so far and i shudder to think how it would act if the racial mix was changed.
How do your points 1 and 2 factor into the discussion? Okay unite the chinese using a common language. That's good isn't it? You rather they not be united? How about making it easier in terms of education too? FYI there are many other malay like racial groups in sg like javanese for eg that are sg citizens. Javanese don't speak malay but i am sure these javanese singaporeans study malay as a mother tongue. The same can be said for south indians that aren't tamilas like malayams for eg they study tamil as a MT in school. Can i then use the same logic as you have mentioned that they are trying to unite both the various malay groups and the indian groups?
That's not even your intention, the way you wrote those 2 points you were implying that uniting the chinese was a very bad thing cos as you know uniting the chinese dialects would create hell on earth for the non chinese minorities here. You don't write it out explicitly but it's easy to see that's your implication just by reading your post. Let me tell you that's absolutely riddiculous.
FYI there's no need to be a chinese chaunvinst by studying in a sap school. There are extremists of all races found in sg. There are english educated chinese that are western chauvinsts for eg that look down on everything chinese. How about we start banning those missionary schools like holy innocents for eg that promote these english speaking chaunvinsts.
Wrong i see you're only interested in simply pointing the finger and calling ppl that are proud of their chinese culture and speak in mandarin or some chinese dialect as the bad guy. The rest of them those proud of their malay heritage, indian heritage and ang moh kang tangs are allowed to be proud of those languages respectively. The minute someone is proud of his chinese heritage. He's a racist, an extremist!!
You next wrote about a strong UMNO that unites the malays here despite the fact the sg isn't even politically a part of malaysia. Firstly i want to ask you what's your stand on the issue then? You're against chinese sap schools and chinese unity isn't that your stand? Yet in the 2nd part of your post you wrote that the old man created these sap schools and mandarin for the chinese to unite to counter against malay chauvinism. Thus you're actually going over to my side.
Malay chauvinism is really bad for the non malay races over in malaysia but chinese chauvinism isn't the same over here. A chinese chaunvinist has to work equally hard as a malay, indian one to prove himself.
tell that to my mat office cleaning aunty and mat security guard at my condo. both earn peanuts yet both drive cars. don't even start talking about those mats who purchased all their stuff via instalments from courts.
