Is our Government selling us out to China Nationals?
-
I wonder if you guys notice what i notice these days that where ever i go, i can see China nationals beside me.Be it MRT, buses, market, kopi shop, whatever , whenever, whereever.... i confirm to meet them.And Chinatown and Geylang these two places,i can see that more than 90% of them are the China nationals.I can see this situation getting worst.I am not saying we should not discourage or hate foreigners.But if our government is going to sell us out to FT or worst, to the China nationals, our local culture will gone in the future.
I notice that FT for example China nationals are the most compare to the rest of the FT.Should we sing Chinese national songs instead of Majura Singapura if worst come to worst???Hope the government are not so bad as to sell our country to China nationals!!! -
haha... seeing many China nationals around is not a bad thing. If they do shop, it support sg economy... U should be worrying r they buying things rather than government selling us out to China nationals???

As blogged here (http://blueheeler.wordpress.com/?s=china) S'pore was populated by of migrants, except for a handful of Malay fisherfolk and Chinese farmers who were here when Raffles landed. As a place that has welcomed migrants seeking new lives for nearly 200 years, Singapore continues with this trend today, with China nationals, Indian nationals and many other nationalities flocking here to earn a living, like our ancestors so many years ago.
But now, I sensed that some S'poreans are using the we-are-better-than-new-migrants attitude when dissing them. Most newcomers have been called 'rude', 'loud' and 'crass'. But let us S'poreans not forget that most of our great-grandparents also arrived fresh off the boat in S'pore 'rude', 'loud' and 'crass', but S'pore gave them a chance to settle down to make an honest living, and so we, you and I, are here today. -
Immigration is not the issue here, the real issue is if the Singaporean has been given a fair chance to compete with them, or has he been saddled with a series of disadvantages that the FT does not have, and then told to compete?
-
call me a racist but I have much more problem with Indian nationals ...
-
life has come full circle, once sg was unheard of and westerners considered it as part of china... i guess it is indeed so now...lol
-
Wat to do?
Chinamen are willing to come to SG and PAP willing to open e door for them. -
They don't need to do reservist...so employers choose them over local workers
-
i see more jamacians and negros around these days
-
juz asking....how do I tell a PRC from a sporean chinese??
-
I keep seeing one whenever I take the MRT passing OrchardOriginally posted by boka:i see more jamacians and negros around these days -
The figure of the china cina here keeps increasing and the gahmen love it!! The presence of china cina - Gahmen is the one who benefits most. If all these become citizens gahmen will be happy as they can count on them to vote for them since gahmen approve and encourage them to come!! Gahmen won't care about how we feel so long as they benefit from their presence here. ---> You die it is your own business, ni si ni de shi!!
Sickening to have such gahmen!!! -
Very easy to identify, once they open their mouth and talk you will know they are from china.Originally posted by sg mata:juz asking....how do I tell a PRC from a sporean chinese?? -
Cultures are being developed over time, and no culture can be preserved at 100% forever. I thought most ppl are bright enough to realise that clinging on to a old culture and refuses changes will mean moving backwards and no progression.Originally posted by joola74:I wonder if you guys notice what i notice these days that where ever i go, i can see China nationals beside me.Be it MRT, buses, market, kopi shop, whatever , whenever, whereever.... i confirm to meet them.And Chinatown and Geylang these two places,i can see that more than 90% of them are the China nationals.I can see this situation getting worst.I am not saying we should not discourage or hate foreigners.But if our government is going to sell us out to FT or worst, to the China nationals, our local culture will gone in the future.

Lol foreigners moving over means must sing their national anthem? Very very interesting theory.
You sound like gov is plotting something secretly. Gathering FT troops?
You are a funny man -
It is true,we r no more afraided of Malays why our song is still in Malayu,cant understand????Originally posted by chenc:Cultures are being developed over time, and no culture can be preserved at 100% forever.

It is time to sing in English or Hokkien,may be in k whichever LKY likes!!!
Good suggestion,we sing "sun from the East"as per c as chairman Mao as LKY 's likes in K!!!! -
There is a huge difference mind you. Not every single FT comes here to settle down, but they come and go.Originally posted by blueheeler:As blogged here (http://blueheeler.wordpress.com/?s=china) S'pore was populated by of migrants, except for a handful of Malay fisherfolk and Chinese farmers who were here when Raffles landed.

There must be a distinction made here. If the FT comes here and takes a job that a Singaporean could provide with the same capability, this is blatant discrimination and not acceptable.
If the FT in question comes here and settle down, fine. At least he adds to the population numbers and contributes to the economy.
If the FT here in question provides a service that no one here can, that is also fine. At least the service he provides contributes to the benefit of the locals indirectly.
Remember that our small economy does not allow us to soak up foreigners like a sponge like the US or Europe. We have constraints on land and resources and this makes it difficult for people to live with some measure of comfort. -
The influx of Chinese Nationals is inevitable, we wanna tap their markets, we have to open our borders to their people - Yes, it's as simple as that. Like it or not, scoff unkempt rowdy Chinamen are here to stay, we just got to accept that if we wanna earn their money.
-
No, govrt isn't selling us to Chinese nationals, but to FTs. It is inevitable that there are more Chinese nationals because China has this incredible number of population. :p
You guys can resent the FT influx, but there is also little doubt that they are helping our economy... Sad truth. -
Then why is MOM so secretive about the employment numbers? All that is is speculation by economists, and a corrected news article on CNA because MOM said it was some 10-20% less than the quoted figure. Mind you, during a period of one year, 66% of jobs created went to foreigners. By no means is this a small sum.Originally posted by Slipshade:No, govrt isn't selling us to Chinese nationals, but to FTs.

They're selling us out, period. Don't bring in the reverse racism, it's just sick.

well said, well said.Originally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:Immigration is not the issue here, the real issue is if the Singaporean has been given a fair chance to compete with them, or has he been saddled with a series of disadvantages that the FT does not have, and then told to compete?
the greatest disadvantage being singapore males have to serve ns which employers find disruptive. -

in fact most ft, esp top grade ones admit to using singapore as a stepping stone to the west countries.
and talking about limited resources, wasn't there complain about long wait in the hospitals and local students with 4 or 5 As not able to get into our varsities? -
I unaware of current situation of singapore. Where to get information?
China/Viets/Thais/Mas they all mixed!!!
4 million rats in China.
420 million bats in Viet.
58 million cats in Mas.
470 thousand mice down here.

what disadvantages? You receive subsidized education and medical care, not the FT. You get subsidized housing, not the FT. If foreign workers can do the same job for less pay, blame yourself for itOriginally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:Immigration is not the issue here, the real issue is if the Singaporean has been given a fair chance to compete with them, or has he been saddled with a series of disadvantages that the FT does not have, and then told to compete?
