Isn't this a racist way to address the europeans/americans? Why wasn't Mediacorp Radio more sensitive?

Really! Even i don't know about this, i thought Kay leng kia means indian in hokkienOriginally posted by ndsef:Oh yeah, don't know whether any Indian forumers care to clarify this... my Indian friend once told me that the chinese Kay Leng Kia orignated from Kur Leng Gar ( I think that is how it is pronounced) which means people who came from the "dynasty" of the same name in India long time ago.
They are a minority in India in a small geographical area. And most of the Indians in Singapore came from there. Which is why the language spoken by Singapore Indians (Tamil) is different from the language spoken by majority of the Indians in India (Hindi).
Correct me if I am wrong... Sorry lah, I am a Mun Jeng (yellow coloured man)![]()
