It is now dangerous to say we prefer true blue Singaporeans to be our colleagues, friends, president, wives ????..
No where else in the world is such a remark considered dangerous. If an American stands up to say he prefer a fellow American people will say he is a patriot.
If a Singaporean cannot prefer a fellow Songaporean ...it means what? It means that a true blue Singaporean does not mean anything anymore in Singapore. That to me is dangerous because it means we are losing our identity and unity.
You are deliberately distinctively dividing Singaporean into 2 groups.
Local born and Non local born citizen.
Don't forget, many Non local born citizens living in Singapore since childhood. Attending our local school, NS and contributed in society same as any local born.
Why must they be penalise by Tan Kim Lian comment about true blue blood characteristic?
What have they done wrong to you and TKL?
How would they feel? Hurt, betrayed?
Will they begin to categories the local born too, following TKL mentality?
Not Dangerous?
Local born Vs Non local born citizens?
Never do what you don't like towards others. That is dangerous.
Singapore reached the point of inability to reproduce young people in a sustainability workforce population in our country.
Our society aging faster than anyone else.
Without inputs of new citizens, our GDP, competitive economy will dwindles.
The workers taking care of your family daily needs today, are mostly from our new citizens or foreign workers.
This is the reality and hard truth.
Promoting Unity is an Important Role of our President. Being able to bring Singaporean citizens together, meet the challenges of the future. In today competitive world.
TKL just failed our New Citizens. Officially categorised them as not preferred by some Singaporean, to be the our First Lady, comparing with the Local born citizens.
Now everybody starting to notice the difference 🙄. Comparing with each other place of birth, eventhough we are all Singaporean. Sad!
He is promoting unity or division among our citizens?
Don't forget, President Ong TC wife was not local born too. He won the PE with huge majority votes.
What TKL insinuating is not true.
Singaporean respect all citizens as equal, local born or foreign born. We are united a one citizens!
