Racial harmony and One S'pore would be so much easier to achieve if the Govt got rid of the CIMO classification. Why can't we be a melting pot with ALL of us referred to as S'poreans? Why must we be divided and ruled like this?

No worry.
Our NRIC shows we are Chinese.
Well done Pap. 🖕

Ask my grandfather? He dieded in sg even before I was born. Presumably he and my grandma left china to Singapore in search of a better life. There you have it.
Nationality has nothing to do with race. Only low ses sgreans and boomer chinese helicated (that's where helicopter came about due to their inability to enunciate in proper English) like to associate with their perceived "motherland" because of their own poor self esteem.
My motherland is Singapore, not China. I can appreciate tiong culture, but I know I am never one of them, or want to be
I do NS to fight and defend Singapore. Not tiongkok

My advice to Chinese Singaporean NOT to shed their identity of being Chinese.
In the toughest of time esp war time, yr roots matter alot and will be grouped and help as such.
Singaporean are good to use during peace and harmony time.

The govt can do more to promote racial harmony. The preference of CECA bosses and managers is beyond our control; only Pay and Pay can do something about it, but they aren't doing so!

Singaporean Chinese is perfectly correct. We are Singaporean nationality with Chinese race roots. In Mandarin, we are 新加坡华人。
However, in China, the word Chinese is nationality 中国人。So there is a difference in interpreting the word Chinese.
Therefore we should make it very clear, before mixing up the word Chinese between 中国人 with 华人。
What are Chinese citizens called?
The term zhongguo renmin (Chinese: 中国人民), "Chinese people", was the government's preferred term during the early communist era.

Chinese is a nationality not a race. Our race is actually Han.
