“Koreans think Western people, white English speakers are the ‘right’ kind of foreigner,� says Park Kyung-tae, a professor of sociology at Sungkonghoe University. “The wrong kind include refugees, Chinese people, and even ethnic Koreans from China,� because they’re perceived to be poor. “If you’re from a Western country, you have more chances to be respected. If you are from a developing Asian country, you have more chances to be disrespected.�
Personally, I’ve found that Koreans often don’t know what to make of my background. There are microaggressions: “Your skin is so pale, you could be Korean,� someone once said to me, adding, “Your teeth are really clean and good for a China person.�
A saleswoman in a clothing store remarked, after I told her what country I’d grown up in, “You’re not Canadian. Canadians don’t have Asian faces.�
But there’s also no denying the privilege that my language brings. If I encounter an irate taxi driver, or if a stranger gets in a huff over my Korean skills, I switch to English. Suddenly I am a different person—a Westernized person, now received with respect.

It is prudent that the case is dropped if you value your life. The holy of hollies moves in mysterious way, mysterious disappearances in vans as well as in the ocean, mysterious content in oil drum filled with cement, mysterious C4 explosions, mysterious flight from a tall building to the ground. Soon in coming, the showing up of mysterious voters to ensure THEY have mysterious money appearing in their bank accounts and superb mysterious economic growth that only THEY can see and lavish in.

Sufferers of advanced sleep phase disorder have an ‘early’ circadian clock; they feel sleepy and want to go bed in the early evening (6 p.m. to 9 p.m.) and wake up in the early hours of the morning (2 a.m. to 5 a.m.). Consequently, they may have been awake several hours before they go to work and may not perform well or be alert. They will also feel sleepy in the late afternoon/early evening, which can affect their social lives.
In contrast, sufferers of delayed sleep phase disorder have a ‘late’ circadian clock; they are unable to fall asleep until the early hours of the morning (4 a.m. to 6 a.m.) and consequently will not awake until approximately midday. This disorder can make it difficult for the individual to get to work or college on time and if they are able to wake up in time, they will probably not have had enough sleep and so will not be alert or perform well. This can lead to growing fatigue.

Truth_Hurts posted : "the problem pinky has with the next pm..is it needs to be a seat warmer for his son to succeed like the way old fart did for Pinky. The problem is..if the next pm is popular etc and capable it will derail his plans. Do not forget his son is not an MP etc..not in politics yet. So it takes some time for his son to be groomed. That means the earliest his son can be an MP is the next Erection..not to far away. Pinky is out of time for his son to step in. N pinky most like have to be an SM n in cabinet 2 erections from now. The next point is if the next pm is weak and ineffective n the team don't support him effectively. Means there is no capable minister to hold the fort...the weak pm will crop all the blame etc. Look at the existing minister..which one is capable and can support a weak PM? The only name I can put forward is Tartman...but to prevent being upstaged.. tartman will most likely step down in the next or following erection. Because a capable minister will overthrow the weak pm...making Pinky's succession plan for his son in turmoil. So actually pinky is caught between a rock n a hard place. His son is not even in the system to be pm...a weak seat warmer might lead to a collapsed in gahmen...n a strong pm will overthrow the Lee's..so that is why till now there is no designated successor. Unlike when Pinky 1st went into parleement. Within a few years..it's so obvious wooden was the seat warmer n pinky would be pm. Now with pinky close to retirement no sight n no sound of the successor. N pinky is incompetent..so it's up to the people to derail this Lee dynasty garbage...but I doubt the 70% will do the better thing. Pap will destabilise n with no capable opposition. Singkieland will sink because of the political vacuum."

And if the forum is full of eyes picking up whatever bits of info on what is potentially going on it is not too difficult to work out how weak a leader maybe and the kind of leaders he is leading. Who would take you seriously? Especially if he is merely the seatwarmer designate for the rumoured real dynastic successor? If the President is any reflection of how poorly supportive of the idea people can be then the next leader will also have to deal with the millenialls becoming electors and engage with that segment too (regardless of the 800k new voter block we have read on these pages) - will also have to deal with an emboldened Indian, Chinese and Pinoy FTs who would ask for a more "representative" Parliament as there are no new citizens in such leaderhip roles (the traditional Malaysian converts do not count). Internally, if indeed there is a split, then if the man you back does not get in you've already showed your hand to your new boss - can't take cover behind your old boss because he will be out and relegated to Emeritus title but technically no longer involved in machinations of state matters. Interesting 6-9-12 months ahead. "
