of unity and diversity...

[zhihau]

native pirates were no match for the ming junks. they were mostly bodies of pirates after jumping off their boats upon seeing fuckfaces of chinese sailors looking for sex after weeks in the sea. :p

how very true...

seaman under hot sun ...
c man got hot son ...
seaman oso wants son ...
got semen got son ...

 

[eatshitndie]

it's not shocking to know that native minahs centuries ago were very open with their arms and legs to visitors, especially horny sailors from the region. it was a great time for sex. :p

 

[zhihau]

it was a great time for sex. :p

very comforting to know that this trait is very much intact in our cultural genome, SPGs notwithstanding

 

[eatshitndie]

one could say that sg then was truly for everyone, including far flung visitors with their goods and diseases. it's no surprise that the same mantra resonates today, with an offspring of an import who's the so called modern sultan today championing that cause.

at the turn of a century after Raffles first arrived, Singapore was already a place filling up quickly with migrants from all over. at the turn of another century, we're still at the same phase. seems almost natural that it's in our cultural genome that we inherited this trait.

unity in diversity doesn't occur overnight, it's a painstaking process and it takes a tremendously big heart to be forgiving and to embrace diversity and it's richness. this is the second unique trait that we've inherited from our forefathers.

yes, we poke fun of each other's quirkiness and stuffs but all in the good name of fun. we knew where to draw the lines and at times the boundaries are tested every now and then but which relationship isn't dynamic anyway?

a real pity when labels like xenophobes and bigots are loosely hung over our heads and across our chests and our accusers are somewhat perpetrating these allegations they threw upon us? why the need of a race in our ICs when we're all of the human race? aren't we all Homo sapiens at the end of the day?

Yes, the multiculturalism is built up over the course of more than a century. It is not something developed overnight. Yet overnight the PAP wants to overturn the apple cart and impose a new order on society. That is why people feel crowded out, angry, and this feeling of suffocation then evolves into baser emotions like xenophobia, racism, etc.

Labelling people does no good to anyone. It only riles people up further. The PAP is playing the politics of distraction and subterfuge. And if you scratch beneath the surface in fact you'll find most people actually are aware of the difference between what is grave policy errors on the part of the PAP and genuine misconduct of foreigners. People are not stupid. When you label them stupid, racist, xenophobic, you are causing them to turn against you.

Hopefully people will vote wisely in 2016.

What kind of party did sinkies expect that famous japanese traitor LKY and nathan to form? If you were to believe in eugenics like his Nazi mind does, the son of a traitor will be one too. That explains a lot, actually

Any mention of Raffles should also include a mention of his sidekick Fuckquhar, errrr, I mean Farquhar............................ :p

The inability to forgive, embrace diversity, giving labels to others, etc, are all part of an overbearing and manipulative mentality, which unfortunately has now been inherited or acquired by many.......................... :(

 

[zhihau]

that'd be a spot on! the general plans dictated by Raffles were to develop Singapore into a trading port and not mess with its inhabitants.

Farquhar on the other hand had spent more time on the island than our famed ruffian, allegedly integrated very well with the locals perhaps due to the reason that he had spent a good amount of time in this region, and naturally allowed the islands' inhabitants to run their own course on the island.

the native ladies of that era wear gold ornaments, lofty head dress, and armed themselves with bows and arrows. the minah amazon if you wish to call her. if disney productions did proper research, the leader of the "lair" would not be chow yuen fatt but chow ah m&d. :p

U sure u know your history? 陈祖义was the biggest pirate in S.E.A And ruled over Palembang with 5000 men before wiped out and captured by Zheng He. He was beheaded in Nanjing in 1407. After Chen came 梁道明 who pay tribute to Ming emperor. Liang moved into area vacated by Chen death and continued the same activites as Chen. So Hollywood scriptwriters may not be wrong after all.

 

[tanwahtiu]

the English are bad people.

They like to start something to beginning with them first.

Can you imagine they are found in 1066? What the hell it means found in 1066?

Bible scholars say Jesus the priesthood was one of the princes of England and died (killed) shortly before 1066. The St Paul cathedral building was the spot he died. Tell the English to be honest and tell the hard truth they hide Jesus from the Romans.

You are looking at an apple and an orange when making your comparison between early immigrants and current flood of new immigrants to SG.

In the beginning of SG, the early immigrants came to a slum land to make a living; they knew the hard life that awaited them as well as poverty, poor sanitation, diseases, etc. Today, the immigrants came to SG because they can find jobs, good education, etc where living standards of first world await them. SG is a land of milk and honey, where everything is built for them to enjoy. These current immigrants do not have to build up the country; they need to work only for their money to send home.

Compared to their own homeland, SG is like a paradise to find jobs and good life. Why these immigrants did not opt to go to Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam or Cambodia? Simple. They are just economic parasites.

bro, correction made: as early as the southern song dynasty, chinese vessels already docked at borneo and java and the rest of the world. Back at that time, the north silk route was cut off by the khitan and jin tribes. Sea trade is very prosperous during the south song dynasty.

indeed they are economic leeches and fleas waiting for the opportune moment to jump ship to the land of US and A. a pity you've seemed to miss my message.

The country did move towards a common identity. NS also helped speed that process when the dialect platoons were disbanded. You could sense it in the air. It was not PAP's making but something that evolved as both Malaysia and Singapore prospered and grew in the 19th and 20th century.

PAP did help by building the economy which brought unemployment to zero. Life was a bliss. A good example is the nightlife of 60s, 70s and 80s. Bands were multi-racial, one had friends of many hues, visiting one another to celebrate the various festivals was a common practice. Even things like kite-flying, football, badminton had multiracial teams across the age groups.

Then came the Mandarin speaking campaign, followed by the SAP schools, the line in the sand began to emerge, Muslim fundamentalism compounded the matter and now truly fucked. The class conscious Northern Indians will not break bread with the low class southern Indians unless they are Ministers, MPs etc, the PRC are here to make best use of what Singapore can offer from scholarships, Hawker centre opportunities to brothels to service clients. The Ang Mo is again top dog and spitting in our face.

And a moron of a prime minister who thinks that Singapore is for everyone. Arsehole.

Merge again with Malaysia. That will bring back almost equitable malay/chinese ratio in peninsular. dialect will be used extensively. liberal malays will welcome more sinkie chinese to neutralise the religious fundamentalist. northern indian will be forced to make a deal with sammy vellu and caste system will vanish............

maybe he's able to read into the future of the geopolitical relationship of the major powers, or am i giving him too much credits?

Unfortunately this moronic PM is not talking about geopolitics. He just want Singaporeans to bend down and bend over for foreigners

happy mother's day. the chinese pirate lair was in palembang, not temasick. chen zuyi's pirate fleet of 10 ships were destroyed in early 1400 by zhenghe's navy, and he was executed in 1407. the angmos during the pirates of the caribbean's era, which was 300 years later, didn't have the kinds of warships to compete then. and first europeans attempting to sail to the far corners started late in the 15th century. shi jinqing, who snitched on chen, became the new ruler of palembang and paid tributes to ming. temasick was still in the hands of chow ah m&d. but yes, you're correct to point out that the biggest and baddest bad ass in the seas off sumatra and the melaka straits was chinese. they were pillaging, plundering, and raping not only ships in the area but also ports and villages along the coasts of sumatra and malaya. pacification by early sorties of the ming fleet from 1400 to 1407 (before the entourage of 1421) brought peace and prosperity to the region. hollywood could have portrayed palembang not temasick as a thriving, throbbing city of trade filled with diverse culture and people of many races.

the greatest threat to multi-racial, multi-culture harmony in the region is not the importation of foreigners (that has been happening for hundreds of years) but the advent of extremist religious fanatics. the moment a religion starts covering native women from their boobs down (such as christian fundamentalism in hawaii) and preventing marriage between lovers from different religions, you know it's the beginning of the end. if all women walk around the region naked up from the waist, just like it had been for hundreds of years, there will be peace and happiness.
