No matter the differences, each is only a fellow Human, more so our neighbor.
Singapore had NEVER sought a policy based upon 'beggar thy neighbor', but had tried many attempts over years to assist our neighbors to share in the wealth & potential of our Nation & region. Our founding father - the late LKY cried when our Nation was booted out from the Malaysian Federation, not because he was left with a mere piece of rock to survive, but loss of the potential to lead the Federation to GREATNESS, as EQUAL BEINGS.
After the tears, he & his great team as well as our Forefathers, simply rolled up our sleeves, thru intelligence, hardwork & sacrifices, gave us ALL citizens our todays thru honoring our sacred National Pledge, & even opportunities to our neighbors, regardless of race, language or religion, to put food on the table for all of our loved ones....
The insignificant nobody me have no wish to disparage our neighbors. It is not me...
Truth stands unshakable on its own pedestal. Far too many of their leaders used the racial & religion card to remain in horrifying corrupted power....Whenever citizens seek for solutions, they are faced with pacification words of 'Insha Allah' - will of God, by authorities & village morons whom pronounced themselves not even as religious teachers, but with POWERS as prophets on Earth to lead Muslims when Prophet Muhammad already claimed - he was the last DIVINE prophet. For the non-Muslims who disagree, they are then condemned as INFIDELS, & thus the regression & decay of a nation, while those in power reaped HUGE FINANCIAL gains & lifestyles beyond the ordinary at the expense of hardworking & even uneducated & unemployed citizens...
I have no wish to offend & apologize if any is offended. We Humans can no longer change the past, but we can still change the future. And the future lays in the current Singapore Johor Growth zone - to provide even MORE Malaysians & Singaporeans from ALL races to join in to make it a success for everyone, from leaders to security forces to ordinary citizens, to put food on the table thru honest work for themselves & loved ones, regardless of race, language or religion.
I bid all the true Insha Allah, from a TRUE GOD. all the best, & not that from the gods that some political & religious whom deem themselves as gods on Earth are.
