I gues this goes back in time, maybe the first Eurpeans the Chinese came into contact with had 'red hair'..redhead; and thus 'ang mo'...in the past, the Chinese refer to any race that was not Chinese with the additional word of 'kwai" or "kwee" whichever dialects one is from & only from recent times it had faded entirely; in the 1970's it was still prevalent.
"ang mo kwee" red hair devil
" kek leng kwee" or "hak kwai" Indian or dark devil
" ma lai kwee or kwai" Malay devil
etc..
Nowdays the word "ang moh" is considered polite...

They are unsettled because they are afraid the ang moh would come to SG as FT and rob their livelihood:(

Hi Roxyburly:
Sg men call them angmo so their buddies will know its an angmo they talking about (to distinguish from Ah Tiong/Neh, m&d, Keling. Hongkie, etc.) It's just being specific, and it is accepted by local norms. There are NO racist implications.
If there is an angmo they feel intimidated by, you will hear the term Tua Kee added.
Cheers!

The word "ang moh" like the word "chxx Bye" are words that originated from China, specifically Fujian province. Singaporeans used those words cos a large number of our ancestors came from Fujian
If you watch some Taiwanese old movies, you can hear that they call caucasians "ang moh" or "hong mow"!!
Similarly, if you watch Taiwanese porn......

Calling caucasians ang moh or Gwei loh (cantonese) or farangs (Thais) or Orang Puteh (Malay), are just a matters of expression cos we are used to those words since young. I don't think most are us are particularly intimated or trying to sound degratory when we used those words. TS is thinking too much.
Use like when he use the word "chxx bye", it just means vagina. No particular undertone expect the word to describe vagina. Just like ang moh call vagina ~ pussy!

Actually "ang moh" is used to classify the caucasians from the "kim moh" which are locals who have dyed their hairs blonde.
It's used for convenience in grouping, that's all.
have u realised that by posting such comments, u have made urself look shallow and ignorant?

Haha nice try, Mr Fake Australian fag. Are you intimidated that Singaporean men are better than you? Don't think just because you put an Australian logo as your avatar, means you can trick everybody into thinking you are a real Aussie. I have Aussie good mates and they certainly do not even speak like you. Your English is atrocious for an Australian. Meanwhile, have fun being assed by OA.
