Joseph Nathan: HAS THE PAP FAILED OUR MUSLIM COMMUNITY?

[True Believer]

i do not wish to stereo type too but taking the easy way out is often part of their trait. my personal experience is that most of them lack perseverance and discipline. at the slightest hardship, they give up. hence, you see many malays resign from their jobs very often, all due to trivial reasons. whatever drive they have is usually short lived also. when i interview candidates for jobs, the reasons for leaving previous jobs is starkly different between malays and chinese. chinese would say things like previous job scope wasn't challenging enough or they wish to take on higher level responsibilities for better career advancement, etc. malays would give reasons like workplace a bit too far from home or working hours not so convenient and such trivial stuff.

I don't wish to stereotype, but I have Malay subordinates who believe in using up all their medical leave every year as if it is their entitlement, like annual leave.

Has Singapore's education system failed the Malay Community?

Malay parents should move their kids out of MOE schools and send them to full time madrassahs and PAP in turn should build more religious schools for them.

Why would a malay wanna work with a bunch of coolie immigrants who seized their land?

Most of the malays have very low tolerance for hardship and stress. They will give up easily or run away. Malaysia plantations employed a lot of foreign indonesians, they are able to take the hardship and harsh working condition better than malays.

Another trait you might have experienced or observed, they like to borrow money from boss or colleagues.

Malays will level down even further if this happens. The children will learn that they are average among their peers when they fail most of their subjects, so there is no compulsion to strive to be better. If they are in MOE schools, they may learn the value and rewards from hard work and a thirst for knowledge. S'porean Malays are far better off than their Malaysian counterparts whom many past PMs have labelled as lazy and lacking the propensity for hard work.

The day after pay day is a holy day like the holy ramadan month for MC and urgent leave and no pay leave.

In your honest opinion, should the 14 days of medical leave per annum be treated like annual leave, to be consumed entirely before 31 Dec?

Haha! If they have valid MC, nobody can stop them from consuming all the medical leaves.

It is extremely easy to obtain a valid MC from a private GP either at the clinic, or through teleconsultation.
