AhJason 5th Gear May 17, 2012 Share May 17, 2012 (edited) Lives are lost, the MIW have spoken, help is given to Cabby's family from all walks of life, even Shanmugam promised assistance; Chinese embassy even issued a statement to remind its citizens of their conduct. You could say that Shanmugam is wayang and what's not. No matter what MIW do, there will always be cynics questioning their motives. But I don't think this is the main issue. I think the issue is whether are these xenophobia/anti-PRC bashing way overboard or justified? thanks to social media, especially Temasek Times and Temasek Review which paint a very negative impression that Singapore is anti-PRC. Are we Singaporeans really that xenophobic? Temasek Review is seeking for US$50,000 donations again. So are we going to donate to them to help propagate xenophobia? On retrospect, are all the PRC in Singapore you have encountered, pests? Hey, I think the McDonald counter staff, a PRC is polite and serves with a great smile!

Vid Hypersonic May 17, 2012 Share May 17, 2012 Yes, 9 out of 10 PRC I met are pests. Even my neighbour next door is a bloody pest. They are enemies with every family on the same level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

[sly] Jokes aside, i think there is definitely a valid reason to all these xenophobia.. and i am pretty sure we're not alone.. HK (and to a lesser extent, Taiwan), also don't like the mainland Chinese.. As analogy, If A and B don't get along well, fault may lie with either party or both. But if A don't get along well with B, C, D, E etc... Then the problem must be with A right? Edited May 17, 2012 by Shull Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF 4th Gear May 17, 2012 Share May 17, 2012 It's right that these complaints, not NONSENSE as TS wrote, should stop. Lives have been lost and no point calculating and recalculating at what speed the driver is going at, what if this and that etc. Life still has to go on........

Evokia Neutral Newbie May 17, 2012 Share May 17, 2012 Online comments are just noise, does not reflect the situation on the streets. GE I already know. You think prcs read our websites and get angry? LOL, just silly locals getting angry among themselves and end of the day no action. We see FTs everyday on the street any Singaporean dare to scold them? Singaporeans like Hong kongers think they have some given right over foreigners from third world countries but unfortunately our government only welcome rich people. This is not Malaysia no bumiputera nonsense here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scb11980 1st Gear May 17, 2012 Share May 17, 2012 does anybody realise this simple fact government policy is opening the flood gates allowing to increase our population of immigrants by 25000-30000 a year to be citizens in Singapore (this is the official) anybody know the size of hougang electorate 23000+ finished Jolie888 was right all along Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think he became so rich with his properties? Perpetually more immigrants = perpetual rise in property prices. For a city like Singapore with limited land, the only way is UP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedz Neutral Newbie May 17, 2012 Share May 17, 2012 One bad egg does not spoil the entire dozen. But perhaps the policy makers ought to be a little more stringent with the quality of foreign workers/immigrants. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
