What difference does it make? We are still slaves, albeit a different set of masters.Originally posted by NYPD^blue:So u fantasize being a slave to colonial masters?

Haha well said Fingolfin_Noldor
! We are slaves to the PAP instead of our previous master the Queen.If the British can do a good job to Hong Kong and given them enough freedom, then what's more if we are rule by our own race, own people but did not even dare to give us more choice, more freedom to choose our president, our prime minister?Better still, we are given no freedom of speech.No one dare to speak up against our own very own leader policy (not the Queen)because everyone scare of been ask to drink kopi from the ISD?So, now slave to who?The PAP or???Who is better?The British or? -
wow, spinning expert!

The same could be said of LKY who exploited the British scholarship system to go to Cambridge for studies.Originally posted by NYPD^blue:well....u r right....

Quite a few of the first generation of leaders were a product of this scholarship system.
And frak, the first generation of leaders at least had balls. The current generation? What?! -
You can study hard and score well, or make enough money or build a business of your own to become an elite, but you need to change your parents to become an angmoh. You have a choice when it comes to elitism, but you can't change your race.Originally posted by qlqq9:thanks for your good manners unlike the couple of kids misbehave here.

The real sad ones are those born with slave mentality, they are always be slaves, wherever they are. -

Thanks to the Brits. they established Singapore, outlawed slavery and gave us a good system to build on, plus the england language.

Mind you all the people who said i am a pro colonist!!! I am not ok.I am just stating the fact that Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia build from the foundation which the British given them.And facts mean facts, you cannot deny that Raffles did not found Singapore.And that if there is no British, there won't be a Singapore for Lee Kuan Yew to come and build his Lee's riches.
And hey, even our army flag lowering songs came from the British.
Lastly, mind you guys ok... i heard from my passed away grandfather who once work with the British before that they treat him very well and also did not even have this kind of racist behaviour towards him.So, so..., if those who scold me a pro colonist bastard, take a look at yourself first, where did your English education came from?Don't even bother to study English better because English = British.Or rather don't follow the laws because the British was the first to introduce law to the world.Been a person who admire and grateful to the British or whoever doesnt mean he must be a pro colonist.
Use your bloody brain to think what pro colonist mean in the first place.
Beside that..., if i am a pro colonist, then who are you?A pro PAP elite system idiot??? -
My aunt told me she prefers British rule, as British took good care of the people more than the present gahmen. Well, the colonial days were ahead of me, but I heard the good things about them. Personally, I have worked with many british people before and so far they have been treating me very well. they care about the welfare of the people.Originally posted by joola74:Mind you all the people who said i am a pro colonist!!!

Yes, the Brits did a lot of good for us, no doubt about it. and we shld be thankful.
But the future is up to us.
The brits may leave behind a good system, but they were scrud up by some countries after the brits left.
