Chan Chun Sing: Strong sense of national identity key absurd?

Guess he is still more credible than the Oppositions which majority of Singaporeans aka 70% do not believe in

Anyway, Singapore is not the only country with “foreigners / new citizens en masse”. Singaporeans move to other countries too.If we do not integrate the new citizens, we will never have a strong National Identity!

Furthermore, like what Mr Chan said, we sought to differentiate between a "transactional" national identity that hinges purely on the benefits of citizenship and a citizenry committed to Singapore "even when the chips are down".

This Minister is still in dreamland ... integration is a natural process, it takes time and the new imported foreign shits must have his 2 legs firmly planted on sinkie land soil, not someone with one leg in sinkie land and one leg in his homeland. The foreign imported shits who sang national anthem of their homeland when back home while holding pink IC are hardly true patriotic sinkies. They are the fakes.

What have CCS and party did all these years, post old guards, to forge a national identity?

Pay themselves world highest salaries that peasants are proud of?
Allow plane loads of fake talents with correspondingly fake certificates to send peasant twiting thumbs at home?
Raise cost of living so peasants can enjoy expertise collecting card boards, and get killed by taxi in carpark while doing so?
...........................Etc etc.

Not sure if the peasants are even in the right country of their own! SG is for everybody in this , and after, worlds, according to a inherited-PM.

"staying together"???? The PAP allowed every man and his dog with little or no qualification to enter the country and they more than anyone destroyed any semblance of oneness and they also reversed social integration by policies that allowed racial overtones and this shortarse asking us to do our bit. The entire purpose of GRC was to divide the country along racial lines. Even they thought it would help prevent racial ghettos, any sensible person would know the consequences. Unbelievable
