Our unique culture already eroded day by day…
Soon it will become Indiapore.

To our local True Blue 新加坡印族同胞 - that public holiday is Deepavali
PLEASE remember that.

TS does not know SG well - Since 1965, SG set the fixed 2 Public holidays each year that is major festive or importance to each major 4 ethnic groups
2 CNY
1 Hari Raya
1 Hari Haji
1 Vesak day
1 Deevapali
1 Good Friday
1 X'mas Day.
Rest are 1 Labour day, 1 NDP, 1 New Year
So why is TS comparing SG with China ?

Sinkiepoor is 70% Chinese
Our cultural roots is from ancient China
China is keeping its cultural roots by having Dragon Boat Festival as holidays
Why shouldn't we in Sinkiepoor?
07-06-2023, 03:35 PM
Other important festivals like qingming and mid autumn will soon be forgotten but continue to be celebrated by kimchee, sushi and pho

Why do you need holidays to remember your cultural Roots ?
Are you suggesting you only practice, remember and cherish those traditions and values it carries when there are holidays ?

Yes, that's what IAM saying
We respect the culture when we make a holiday out for its activities, so we do not fall into ambiguity and over time, cease to practice these traditions and culture
We will make our ancestors very displeased with us and Bad Karma will befall on us and our descendants

True Sg is known for culture desert, need to instill more culture activities.
Culture is not about Char Kway Teow, Hokkien mee, Mee siam mai hum ...
is more than that.

Errrr...FYI, we local Chinese still observe not just 清明, but also other annual events from 端午节, 中秋节 to 中元节 - regardless any "ambiguity" or otherwise.
This up to individual atittude and upbringing whether or not they continue to respect those practice and tradition....
So whom are you to suggest "ancestors very displeased" when the SGreans Chinese aren't crazy pple demanding the Gov to gazette those festive seasons as public holidays ?

Well, majority don't and this got nothing to do with upbringing, as if your upbringing is so pristine, c'mon
If the country does not recognize the culture by ignoring it, then the consequent reaction of the population will in time fade this culture into oblivion
Imagine if CNY is abolished because we follow the Gregorian NY, what would be the extent of its cultural erosion, i shudder to consider
Our ancestors will be very displeased and there will be bad Karma all round for the country as we are afterall 70% Chinese in demographics

why celebrate an old goon who no know how to stay alive to solve the problem but use death to drive a point.
stupidity, why honour him?
