S’pore = Chinese, PA is saying?

In Public Administration on 11/08/2020 at 6:15 am

Remember local YouTuber and comedian Preeti Nair (known as Preetipls) and her brother, rapper Subhas Nair? To refresh yr memories: Brownfacegate: Did you know Shanmugam also said this? and Brownfacegate: Fake indignation?

Well they and that other Woke, P(olitician) Ravi, will surely be KPKBing about

Chinese privilege?

“S’pore got no Indians, Malays, Eurasians isit? Part of China isit?” they sure to rave and rant. And they have a point.

Seriously, govt agencies used to very racially and culturally sensitive in their pictorial or photo depictions of S’poreans? Whatever happened?

An honest mistake?

Chinese tua kee?

Or is the PAP sending a very subtle message to China? “S’pore is Chinese, not a running dog of Trump”.

Remember

On 30 December 2009, our nation building, constructive ST reported MM Lee as saying of the Chinese officials who come here to study the governance of S’pore,“They discover that the People’s Action Party has only a small office in Bedok. But everywhere they go, they see the PAP – in the RCs, CCCs, and the CCs.”

  1. guilt about chinese dominance among west leaning liberals in SG is now an important political factor; it makes them acceptable to bumi nationalists, who r now added to the old coalition of liberals with gay activists, feminists, anti-death penaltists, making group more strident and potent; in response, chinese chauvinists and church fundamentalists will join forces, overcoming their past difference of 土 vs 洋; each coalition might seem unlikely before, but now looks natural

    to SG youth, fighting authoritarianism with all those radicals will feel intoxicatingly liberating, just as HK youth found cantonese natives against mainland authoritarianism intoxicating; there is no reason to believe SG youth will be more rational than HK youth, or american trump fans; what might be different would be the opposing forces they face: PAP elitists/rationalists, who dont understand emotional politics very well, and cultural/religions conservatives, who understand emotions only too well

    if you remember thio li-ann vs gays and her mother thio su-mien vs AWARE – these are the precursor to the great social divide that will dominate SG politics for many years to come http://yuenco.com

  2. if the democrats could win on 11/3/2020, it’ll be a new way of life for every country on planet earth.

    • if trump wins, next 4 years will be worse than last 4; if he loses, his followers will march with guns; nobody knows how it would turn out

      so I am pessimistic either way
