a bunch of coolies, whores, harlots, prostitutes, rickshaw pullers, opium addicts, drug peddlers, night soil collectors, stevedores, errand boys talking big.

they've whitewashed their heritage, erased their history. a recap


Most of the local population, however, did not benefit commensurately from the increase in foreign economic activity. Many Singaporeans were employed as lowly paid rickshaw pullers, boatmen, fishermen or market gardeners. These coolies lived in shophouses, often in crammed and squalid conditions. A domestic economy sprang up within the community, with vendors and artisans offering a panoply of services ranging from street food to haircuts. Opium dens and prostitute houses proliferated.

Jiu hu people call it " cable". Those with the right " cable" gets the award.
