SINGAPORE — Singapore must never embark on the road of majoritarianism with the majority Chinese community controlling policy-making, Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam said.

Calling Singapore a “very precious but very delicate object” which can “easily be fractured”, Shanmugam said a policy of majoritarianism would be contrary to what Singapore stands for.

The minister was responding to a question posed at a REACH-Zaobao forum on 24 July. He posted the question and answer on his Instagram page earlier this week.
A participant asked the question: “Chinese Singaporeans, the largest group in Singapore, are now asked to be sensitive to the minority. But shouldn't the largest group have the right to decide on Singapore's direction, such as education, language to be used, like other countries?”

Shanmugam began his reply by saying, “I will say I'm quite sad that this question has been asked, and I will say, ‘Have a care’.”

Referring to the early days of Singapore’s independence, Shanmugam said that a group of influential Chinese leaders had spoken with then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew to request for Mandarin to be the primary language of business, and that Singapore should be a “Chinese country”.

Singapore had left Malaysia on the basis that no single race would dominate another race on the basis of majoritarianism, he added.
“We are built on a very powerful ideal of the beauty of human spirit, and the possibilities of human spirit, of give and take, of accommodation, of multiracialism, of equality, regardless of skin colour.”

Democracy can go the other way as it has happened in other countries where the “political logic” is to cater to the majority to win votes, Shanmugam said.
He raised the prospect of Singapore doing away with the Ethnic Integration Policy for housing, the Group Representation Constituency system, and greater emphasis on teaching Mandarin across schools. “That is possible on the basis of majority rule. But is it right?”

The first generation of leaders led by Lee had stamped out racial chauvinism and built Singapore into a successful country, Shanmugam said.

He added, “And I will tell the majority race this, if we move away from that, the minorities suffer yes, but the country will suffer, and the Chinese will suffer too...I hope we never go down that road.

“Our multiracialism is not perfect. It's a work in progress but it's far better than the alternative that this question suggests.”

If cina controlled everything..the likes of him n Vivian would b just road sweepers in singkieland

 

[glockman]

SG is indeed very precious to him and his colleagues, because they have amassed millions and attained power through it.

Poor Shan. But, true to any communists system, they dislike difficult questions.

In a proper democracy, all issues should be aired and heard respectfully and a robust debate to follow, leading to better policies. I welcome more of such open and honest opinionated questions, because at the end of the day, everybody learns something. Unless they start killing each other before that.

Invite more ceca's please. Its time we get the population appropriately balanced.

 

[whoami]

Invite more ceca's please. Its time we get the population appropriately balanced.

Should be 33% each. With others 1%.

 

[SinghSons]

Invite more ceca's please. Its time we get the population appropriately balanced.

Get the balance right: DM

English is the first language. The citizens also learn a native language. There is no compulsion to learn Chinese as a primary business language. It's only an advantage to learn it for doing business with China.
So, what's the problem?

 

[ChristJohnny]

When the majority are of higher intelligence like the USA, Singapore ...
Majority will take care of the less fortunate. At least they won't go staving. Living on the streets is their choice.
However, when the Majority are of lesser IQ like South Africa, Brazil, Malaysia ....
What has the Majority did?
So I beg the question, if Singapore have a lower IQ majority, do you still think it is going to be as prosperous?? I don't think so.

Race and IQ

 

[orh mee suah]

The Ethnic Integration Policy has prevented the forming of enclaves or ghettos. It was working fine until the government introduced more different ethnic groups to live and work in the country.
I believe Singapore's multi-cultural diversity model is falling apart.

He wldnt marry a Chinese girl if Chinese are minority.... Chinese are materialistic people want the best for their own Chinese race.

Chinese success are the parents want the best for their children. Work hard, work smart and be successful race.

This is how Singapore is today prosperous and best in the world because that Chinese parents of LHL want his children to be materialistic, wealthy and prosperous...

If Indian are materialistic people, India can be as prosperous as Singapore...

Fuck back to India... black cobra lawyer...

Oh yes. Grab delivery is a great quality of life.

Well, Muslim majority countries don't care about minorities in their country, non-Muslims in Muslim majority countries live like 2nd citizens. Even minority Muslims in major non-Muslim countries demands special rights from non-Muslims. Muslim are racist and Islam is a cult.

Majulah PAP!

If oppies prefer a country where the majority race runs the country based solely on the preference of their own religion and racial bias, you're welcome to move to jiuhu or indon.

 

[syed putra]

Oh yes. Grab delivery is a great quality of life.

Malays love riding bikes. Beats sitting in the office all day getting humiliated and abused by chinese colleagues and bosses.

You are correct. If you go to jiu hu, you can find mosque, churches, temples in non Moslem areas, but only mosques in muslim areas. Moslems have become paranoid thinking everyone else are threats when in actuslmfact, they are their own worst enemies.
