  The name chinatown to suggest a Chinese settlement for new immigrants is no longer accurate now, our chinatown is just a tourist destination cum poverty district.

   

  Geylang should be renamed Little China!

   

  And when the invasion gains momentum, maybe we can be more specific as well, Bt Batok can be Little Xi'an, Jurong West can be Little Shanghai etc.

  This problem was ever present even from before and that is why the country is known as the 'Little Red Dot'

  That's funny but I agree. Chinatown is not as Chinatownish as Geylang.

  come on lah...600k-700k PRCs working in Singapore...the PRC men also need a little love sometimes.

  I met quite a number of PRC men and learned that only one became a Singapore citizen. Another one is a PR now and has a Masters degree. He's thinking about settling down with his family in the west.

  The others - including some PRs - have plans to return to PRC for a comfortable retirement after saving enough money.

  i really dont mind them coming to work you know, contributing to our economy and doing jobs which singaporeans will never lower their dignity to do. for their willingness to take hardship i salute them.

   

  but when they're help they should adopt modern hygiene habits. doesn't mean in winter china you don't bathe come here you also don't bathe. i once passed by a PRC student's flat, i swear can smell from metres away.

   

  and worse, come here, criticise singapore, say everything no good. so unhappy you go home la.
