PM Lee: What future do you want for Singapore?
-
No la, I don’t think Daddy D think this way. Pirate, keep your parang and pistol.
The way I see it is – Daddy D think that if Ms Cheong grew up in here, being immersed in Multi-cultural and multi-racial society, perhaps there would not be such an outburst.
At least for me, I won’t make such comments because it is part of the Singapore I know and grow up with. Like someone said on radio this morning – if they don’t complain about our lion dances, our hungry ghost festival getai and burning of joss paper, on what grounds can we complain about their wedding? I shudder at the thought of Singapore reliving the days in which racial harmony disintegrate. No! No! No! cannot let it happen! -
Huh? I thought Msia has more Malays than Spore? :scratchhead: .... then, there shouldn't be any integration problem for her, right?
From what I know, Msia also multi-cultural and multi-racial society huh, no? -

Well said, 3boys. And yup, fully agree.
I think it's a little harsh too. But the political climate is such, very difficult to carry such baggage. Right now if you work for civil service or quasi-governmental agency, better keep well beyond the pale.
Our society is very harsh and mean-spirited, both Amy Cheong and her critics are embodiment of that. In another forum, there is all this vitriol about her being married to a foreigner, all spoken without irony despite the fact that it is exactly the same kind of racism and stereotyping that the protagonist is at fault for. -

I just realised that I had used the phrase \"beyond the pale\" in the complete opposite way from what it should be.
