Silly Pinkertons. Whatever Western white man organisation says is bad, they will swallow blindly and even betray their own cultural norms to suck up to their former colonial masters.
These Singaporeans have no mind of their own, other than stupidly allowing themselves to be used by Westerners. That's why that politician is right to say that we must import more PRC to improve our stock of human capital
There is no reason not to enjoy the popular sharks' fin soup. My restaurant serves it proudly. In fact after this news, I will give 20% discount on sharks' fin soup to promote this delicacy.
Sharks are caught in virtually all parts of the world. No country has banned shark fishing.
Data from the Fisheries Commission in Brussels shows that 'Spain, Portugal, the UK and France are the top shark-fishing nations that are responsible for 80 per cent of the global catch'.
So to hunt the shark for meat to be eaten by white men is okay, but for Chinese to eat fins is wrong?
These Pinkerton Singaporeans are so brainless! If you are reading this, ask yourself, are you a Pinkerton?

SINGAPORE - Animal rights activists launched a campaign in Singapore Saturday against the consumption of shark fin, a status symbol when served at Chinese wedding banquets and dinners.
The Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES) held the rally at Speakers' Corner, Singapore's only venue for outdoor assemblies and demonstrations.
A large banner bearing the slogan "when sharks die, the oceans die" was displayed at a nearby park close to Singapore's business district.
Louis Ng, ACRES's executive director and founder, told 100 supporters that more than 3,800 sharks were caught every 20 minutes to meet global demand for shark fin, pushing many shark species towards extinction.
"Let us not only say no to shark fins but let us also be advocates for sharks and tell people why we do not, and will not, eat them," Ng said.
One of ACRES's supporters at the rally, physiotherapist Chng Chye Tuan, said he and his wife-to-be had decided against offering shark fin soup to guests at their wedding next month, despite opposition from both sets of parents.
"You can see the impact that humans are having on the ecosystem. The variety of fish is not as much as before," said Chng, referring to observations he had made during diving trips.
