SINGAPORE: The recent online furore over a planned Philippine Independence Day celebration in Singapore is a "shot across the bow" that should prompt Singaporeans to examine themselves, said Member of Parliament for West Coast GRC Arthur Fong, in Parliament on Friday (May 30).
"Xenophobia, I hope, will not take root," he said. "Is this what we want? And if this takes root, what kind of Singapore will we have?"
Is xenophobia really bad for a country? Look at Japan. Japs are truly xenophobic but they have done well since WW2.
