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?

[Alice Alicia]

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

我是新加坡华人 不是中国人。中国很伟大 我也骄傲

[starbugs]

We are Singaporeans first. Race comes second.

[p1acebo]

I am Singaporean Chinese. Why would I want to be associated with tiongs?

[Clyde]

If we are the melting pot, we won't see so many ceca in Changi Business Park or dbs.

A melting pot of races among true blue S'poreans instead of CIMO.

Pls ask your grandfather

[p1acebo]

Pls ask your grandfather

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

[EvertonDiehard]

Pls ask your grandfather

In my case, both my paternal and maternal grandfathers were born in Malaysia. They never even set foot in China in their lifetime.

[Niubee]

No worry.

Well done Pap. 🖕

OYK Nric showed as Han.

Don't be naive. Many businesses entities are controlled by new citizens and they prefer to hire back their same kind from overseas.

[Niubee]

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.

[Alice Alicia]

OYK Nric showed as Han. 

Could be the ICA want a more polite word for cunt. 😅

[WhatDoYouThink!]

我是新加坡华人 不是中国人。中国很伟大 我也骄傲

华人就对了。新加坡华人更准确些

[Ola]

People talk about Nationality, lah

Talk about race for what?

Make people do DNA Test arh?

Next time ppl ask you tell them you're 华人 or 新加坡华人

[Ola]

Chinese= China

Aussie= Australia

So he is very right to say he is Singaporean.

[EvertonDiehard]

Don't be naive. Many businesses entities are controlled by new citizens and they prefer to hire back their same kind from overseas.

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!

‘I’m Singaporean, not Chinese’: TikTok video sparks debate over shunning of ‘roots’

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.

[moonrab]

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

In general, Chinese word use to define a race or ethnic group. Singapore Chinese, Malaysia Chinese, Indonesia Chinese....华人。

But Chinese to the citizens of China is 中国人。。。🤣🤣🤣

8 billion peepur, if you say to them you are Chinese, they will think you are a citizen of China.

We used it WRONGLY to refer to our race. Our race is actually Han 

Singapore Chinese, Malaysia Chinese.... that's nonsense.
