The issue is not xenophobia, but the double standards applied by the government towards Singaporeans or people who look like chinese, malay, indian.
Singapore is no longer a fishing village and Singaporean is no villager.
MPs for their own high salary will said all kind of shit to brain wash Singaporean.
I travel to china, Malaysia, india, Philippine, Vietnam on business trip.
I mixed with the local blue collars and business owner.
these country's do not need their citizen to compete with foreigner on job between usd-1500 to usd-4500.
their boss need not to worried competing with foreign investor (those MNC, no point fighting them, Small or Medium business foreigner need a local partner to start the business)
therefore for now year 2020, don't be fooled by PAP and the high salary MPs.
Singapore is not xenophobia, high salary MPs is xenophobia and they used it to their advantages.
