Is Singapore the only Chinese-majority country outside of China?

Without the Chink, the m&d would be living in slum and sniffing glue as past time hobby. Search your soul and heart and tell me if this is true. At least that was what a Bangla worker told me at a construction site when I chit chat with him. He has been working in many countries, and everywhere the Chink goes, that countries seem to prosper. He wished his country has more chink in bangladesh. A very honest view from him.

the truth is somewhat there, but if said wrongly can be very upsetting for people on both sides of the fence. It boils down to hard work, but it stems from an obsession with money and power. No other race is as obsessed with money and power as we are. And we acknowledge money and power to come from hard work. How not to prosper?

David Marshall couldn't do anything for he was in office for only 14 months and then Lim Yew Hock took over for 31/2 years.

Lim Yew Hock was so very corrupt that he sold off our X'mas Island, then the world's biggest phosphate producer to Australia for US$800,000. SIT was his only contribution.

If not for LKY, Lim Kim San, Goh Keng Swee, S Rajaretnam, Toh Chin Chye, Albert Winseimus, Eddie Barkar, Hon Sui Sen and senior civil servants like Ngiam Tong Dow & Philip Yeo, we could still be living in kampongs and my engineer prof, Dr Lau U Dong would not have been awarded the appointment to design the nation's sewerage system in 1962.

Today majority of S'poreans would not be living in HDB flats and we won't have the world class network of expressways which connects all the satellite towns & the whole island.

Before the PIE was put up in 1981, I used to take 3 hours or longer to drive from Nanyang U to Paya Lebar International airport; today all I need is 35 mins to drive from NTU to Changi International airport.

thank you for elucidating for the rest of us history troglodytes. much appreciated.

Having the South China Sea under China will bring peace to the region. Otherwise ASEAN countries will be fighting with each other continuously. Just look at Sinkieland and Mudland,Cannot even settle the Johor Straits.

in that vein, so would having it under Imperial Japan.

You should never allow Imperial Japan to rear its military might again. It will be another impending disaster for the world.

hey! did you get someone else's prescription pad?

In countries where Chinese immigrants were not persecuted, they assimilated with the locals, losing their Chinese identity- eg Thailand
In countries where they were persecuted or not accepted, the Chinese kept their identity as Chinese - eg Malaysia, Indonesia
in Singapore where they are the majority, they evolved into another Race - Banana Chinese - yellow on the outside, white wannabe on the inside

The Thais , vietnamese and chinese sre mostly budhist.their faith more or less similar. So it easier to assimilate.
Just like Arabs, turks and indian Muslims in Malay society.most speak Malay and adopted Malay culture even if they are all black. Can be umno member some more, a party meant for Malays.
And Spaniards, chinese in the phlippines who are of christian faith. All are brothers to local catholic philipinos.

I don't think so. He is not married. Mark Andrew Yeo's wife is a slut.

hey! don't talk about people's wife liddat la. What did she do to you? btw, I think it's safer to say scroobal's wife is a slut. For all we know, those two are different people. No point dragging some unknown person into it. Unless of course you are really sure.... are you?

Cantonese eh ? couldnt recall anything historically significant as of now..till something jerks my memory ...you see ,i have to rely on my memory power which is not exactly on Giga bites..

my guesstimate is that the Cantonese already had a strong stake in the British held HK so Sinkiland was just secondary to them .How ever, cantonese do have a strong presence in KL now

chinese in the earlier days migrated and occupied particular areas and jobs on village basis and thus dialects basis ...even our foreign workers whether from bangla or Indonesian also operate on the same basis today , almost all our Indon maids are from java tenggah ..prostitutes of the past hetec were mostly cantonese if that interests you

...a significant ethnic chinese residing in kalimantan malaysia are hock chiews and its the Teochews who are the significant ones in Thailand and Cambodia...think ,Mynmmar belongs to Hakkas ...at least the Chinese in India are Hakkas

the Hakkas played a major role in Malaysia ..they were brought for their skills in tin mining ...the founder of KL Mr Yap is a Hakka and so were many Kapitan Cina who were the heads of chinese appointed by the Sultan

and LKY is a Hakka Baba ancestory from the Palembang of Indonnesia

of course ,i am subjected to correction ...as i am no historian of any significance and sometimes you have take a ton of salt with my version of history

Hakkas also control sabah. Foo chow sarawak.

Any guy should be lucky to have a slutty wife if she gives husband his fair share.better than nothing most others got.

Even much much earlier to LKY era ...there was a great divide even among the earliest migrants from china to Singapore..till today the greatest riot the ever occured in Sinkieland is not the racial between the Malays and Chinese in the 60s nor the religious between the Muslims and British christians in the 50s....but between the Hokkiens and Teochews ...when more than a thousand died and a few more thousand injured....they never saw themselves as one chinese race..similarly people of other chinese dialect group too

when was this riot? not mentioned in history books?

I think by definition a slutty wife gives to everybody and has no time left for her husband...

 

[nightsafari]

yeah well... have you ascertained scroobal is MAY in the 1st place a not? One day you might just get MAY actually knocking on your door demanding satisfaction because it isn't him.

As for post #54, your source reliable a not? or somebody with rabid imagination?

I guess the lesson for you is to gossip less.

Like Gibraltar

Not really, Sinkieland is a highly strategic spot in the upcoming US-China war.

It's not the number of Chinese folks, many of whom were born and bred living here for generations, but rather the degree of infiltration by the Chicoms in the media and in certain industries. Abetted by a feckless and malleable leeder.

har? How would me gossiping less help you not get in trouble?
