And I'm challenging it. Chinese should be downgraded to "nationality" status.
After all an "Englishman" can now be as black as charcoal!
You can challenge it but I don't think it will change anything. All the best in this endeavour.

The government only has itself to blame for the rise in racism.
We sinkies were perfectly happy in the good old days. Equilibrium was reached and each ethnic group knew their place in Society.
Ordinary Bayi will be jaga or policeman.
Blue sash Bayi will trade in electronics.
Ah Neh... whole range, Lawyer, Doctor, Jamban cleaner etc.
Malay... driver, barber, band boy etc.
Chinks.. Swindlers, gangsters, civil serpents, Bankers, Traders of things other than electronics.
CECA disrupted the delicate balance and now all hell is breaking loose.

Reserved presidency a 'political minus' but right thing to do: PM Lee
SINGAPORE - Reserving the elected presidency for minority candidates from time to time is likely to have a political cost in the short term, but the move was a necessary safeguard for the country's long-term good, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Mr Lee told People's Action Party (PAP) activists on Sunday (Nov 10) that he decided this fundamental change had to be made, even though he knew not all Singaporeans agreed with it.
"Overall, from a short term perspective, this issue is probably a political minus for the government, for the PAP. But this is part of governing," he said at the PAP convention held at the Singapore Expo.
"I am convinced that we did the right thing. We must never, ever be afraid to do what is right for Singapore," he stressed.
The PAP secretary-general was referring to public unhappiness over the Constitutional amendments passed in November 2016, to reserve the elected presidency for candidates of a particular racial group if there had not been a president from the group for the five most recent presidential terms.
Critics said the decision went against Singapore's meritocratic values, and hundreds protested in Hong Lim Park days after the first election, reserved for Malays, saw Madam Halimah Yacob sworn in as President on Sept 14, 2017.
Mr Lee cited the issue as an example of how Singapore is proactively strengthening the institutions that support its multiracial and multi-religious society.
It is harder for a non-Chinese candidate to be elected president through a national vote, Mr Lee noted.
"How would the minorities feel if year after year, the President of Singapore were almost always Chinese? In the long term, such a scenario would foment deep unhappiness, and erode the founding values of our nation," he said.

I think you got the point!
Singapore has no racial issue before the CECA Agreement Indians started to invade Singapore. Take away the jobs from our local PMET, form their own clan in the company to kick our our local, abuse our local Singaporeans publicly.
So you are right, the recent events are not racial issue, it is rather a nationality issue. Singaporeans are trying to fight for their sovereignty and pride.
LW is not LKY, he is no way to compare with LKY in terms of intellectuality and wisdom.
We are not convinced by his shallow knowledge and self denial of GRC system.
He should look at the quality of the MP brought in by the GRC, not only the minority representatives MP.
I agree.
It is more a mix of condescending xenophobia.
Singaporeans had been taught over the years to think of SG as better than all the other asian countries.
Filipino equals maids.
Dark skinned equals bangla workers construction or cleaning
And so on.
Even when the Hongkies came Singaporeans also laugh at their accent.
And PRC? They say chinaman. That time china still poor. Now much more respect for PRC. Money talks.
As for India nationals. Again historically india was poor and is poor. How often you hear of rich indians bring money to sg to spend? Blow on high end luxury goods? They are not the level of PRC now.
Indian can speak english well compared to PRC. Hence go to sg and take jobs from singaporeans.
Xenophobia. Not racism.
Why Malays mainly do national service as police?
Why no Malays as key appointment holders in Singapore Armed Forces ?
Why ministers have Gurkha police and not local Malay policemen guarding their homes?
Laulan Wong don’t have the right to lecture us on racism.

Since our independence we always had "racism" among ourselves but in the manner macam sibling rivalry....always wanting to the the apple of the eye of the ruling gahmen liken to be your parents.
The standoff between races were obvious and elbowed but nothing as serious as recently with the CECA Ah Nehs as the targeted disgruntle and disharmony.
The 4G gahmen has failed to see this from their $m pedestal which the 1G gahmen has managed to.
I have talked to my relatives about this too.
I think Singaporeans agree to the policy that gets cheap foreign laborers to do menial jobs. Low class work. Low pay. Totally ok! Indian. Bangla. Filipino. PRC. All also can.
But foreigner come and take up management positions. Become the boss. The CEO. The Head of Department. That one is no no. Should reserve for local Singaporeans.
Actually I want to ask.....why does the PAP government encourage this?

Yalor....last time all the British MNCs & Banks were all only headed by angmo CEOs or senior Divisional or Group managers. locals can only go so far as HODs.
Now our 100% local bank DBS and even our Temasek Holdings is headed by Ah Nehs....we really don't have the local talents meh ?
