honestly... we are already doing it ourselves ..
with the levels of those coming to live here and the number of locals leaving, add in low birthrates
dont be suprised in the next 20 years or so big chunk of the population will have either been born in PRC or first generation PRC born in SG -
Ah its so nice to see FTs coming here to either work and take home the money and lead a good life or just to settle here and take away the jobs....I fully support the intro of FTs, especially more Chinese and Indians.....this should keep everyone on their toes.....so great, this thing called globalization...love to see how the descendants of the PRC are like...probably the same but more hardworking I suppose....let the floodgates open.....let's have more FTs from the gahmenOriginally posted by borgkilla:honestly... we are already doing it ourselves ..

I love how the sentiments here mirror the US, where present-day citizens moan all the time about the influx of foreign labour, conveniently forgetting their own history.
I don't see you complaining about your advantage in the ease of receiving an education, so don't complain about their advantage in lower fixed costs.
Seriously, it's ridiculous. If you envy them so much, why not try moving your family to china and work here. You'll even the playing field right? It's an advantage right?
Or are they simply more capable than you, period? -
Funny that you should say this....coz it almost spoken my mindOriginally posted by deathbait:I love how the sentiments here mirror the US, where present-day citizens moan all the time about the influx of foreign labour, conveniently forgetting their own history.

Allow me to summarise them into one infamous Western metaphor : Yellow Peril.
An irony isnt it?
To see anti-Asian retoic that exist in a so-called people that are born & breed in a cosmopolitan Asian city-state.
For those who hadn't a clue what Yellow Peril means, do Google it. A little research might help explain your inner/instintive anxiety and may even bring to further enlightenment.
Incidentally. this is a major topic in US for Asian American studies.. something about anti-immigrants and the fear of economic competition...
hmmm...doesn't that ring a bell?

Singapore is a sovereignty nation.

ask this question: if PRC is booming and is the land of opportunities, why the hell are the PRCs infesting the world now?
-
it only seems like they are infesting the world cos there are...SOOO MANY of them!!
but if u look at the percentage, it's not that many...
and besides, if you can make it 'outside' and you are given the opportunity to do so, why not? heh. if i can work overseas, i will definitely take it up oso. -
same as singapore mahOriginally posted by the Bear:ask this question: if PRC is booming and is the land of opportunities, why the hell are the PRCs infesting the world now?

but why so many ppl still leaving -
Yeah, the first thing after China is being liberated is to take monster's picture down and burn them.Originally posted by LazerLordz:I'll burn his picture first. Why bow to a murderer.
This is not China, and never will be. -
Singapore is a freaking mini china. That's where the kiasu spirit orginated from. Ask Malaysia if u need another opinion
-
Like it or not, some things will stay.
And I don't mean influx of foreign labor. -

While remember the source of water that we drink it is also time to remember the character, aspiration from the different ethnic groups that transform the canal to modern city.
Yellow isn't the only color. -

Why there is such un-found fear of the foreign challenges who seek to learn, speak and be successful on this little Isle?
I have no idea what exactly is the intend of this thread is for other than spred ill-wills and create another useless troll on anything that borders on anti-Chineses or Sino-phobic.
Modern Singapore has always been a shade of many colours and creed. Fact is it is constantly being challenged by many who sees no logical ground for its prosperity and continued existence.
That IMO, is a miracle by its own account made possible by son and daughters of past immigrants from those ancient lands.
So why afraid of the Chinese?
