I used to live in kampong. But my neighbours were very nice Chinese then. Not so racist as what we can see here. I suppose they were the minorities in a majority Malay kamp. Back then, of course, I like their attitude. Hardworking. Very cham siong type. I rather write on their positive attributes rather than the neg. I prefer to have them as my neighbours so that my children could integrate, study together, excel in their studies and at the same time learn mandarin with them as well.
U are a Chinese. U never been to a Chinese Physician clinic before? U never seen 1 that have several beds with curtains? Well, the curtain was closed. But I could hear what was spoken between the Physician and his patient lah.
Hes not those typical cheeena. If he was, I wouldnt have visited his clinic. We spoke English. But of course his English half past 6 mixture of some Malay.
Now why would a cheeena study in a madrasah? Why do u compare Malay going to a Chinese Physician with a Cheeena going to a Madrasah? If western med doesnt help, no harm trying Chinese treatment right? I very openminded one.
Just remember this.
No 1 race is perfect.Just remember this. No 1 race is perfect.
Woah woah firstly no need to get defensive.
Yeah talking about chinese ppl's postitive side rather than the negative side. That's right. Do you notice you are probably the only minority here that talks about the positive side of the chinese rather than the negative? Mind you even if ppl talk about the negative side of a race it's mostly a generalization. I mean you have to look at the complaints objectively and more often that not they are very minor like aunty didn't smile at him in a shop or a small kid called him a name.
yet ignore facts like there are no chinese racist gangs like the kkk that will insult them or even assault them simply for not being chinese. yet don't you find it ironic that you rather have chinese neighbours cos their hard working attitude would rub off on your children and *shudder* you want them to learn mandarin when it's considered uncool, yet most of the time when ppl post here they would prefer malay neighbours instead?
Btw just for the record are you a pure malay, mixed chinese-malay or a chinese pretending to be a malay? Someone in here was actually thinking it's impossible for a pure malay to write such an article and you mentioned you wanted your children to learn mandarin and you can understand mandarin and in some ppl's minds that's like impossible.
Nope never been to a chinese physician before even though i am pure chinese. Jiak kang tang i guess.
Well a chinese studying in a madrasah might be a muslim, i am sure you know some chinese are muslims.
OK i gave you that example of malay visiting chinese physician vs chinese studying in madrasah as an example of a race that's in a setting that's totally foreign to him for lack of a better word. You do know that although sg is multi racial there are some places where it's very unusual or unlikely to have another race in there. Something like a chinese, malay or even indian in a sikh temple for eg.
Obviously in such a setting well i would say ppl wouldn't be so sensitive compared to if it was another setting. Hence a chinese studying in a madrasah should expect malays to make fun of his race correct? Okay i rephrase it since he's in real real malay territory well he shouldn't expect to be so sensitive correct?
Just like in new york for eg ppl are more sensitive to black or african ppl compared to singapore.
