Singapore has been a place to go for jhks for the longest time. With ethnic Chinese Singaporeans they'd speak Mandarin. With Malay Singaporeans they'd speak Malay.

Now the Chinese are coming/have come. At first it was a few enclave in Geylang, Chinatown.... but no longer. They don't carve enclave anymore. They have taken over the place by storm with their footprint all over Singapore. Soon it would be Singaporeans who gather in whatever pockets of spaces they still have to eat their mee pok, cai png or mee rebus.

Our forefathers brought dirty habits over.  Give them a stool with four long legs to sit on, they'd squat on it instead, to eat their roadside meal.  The spittoon was a must-have at all coffee shops, otherwise they'd spit on the floor.

It took tough laws and much education to change all of that.

China has all sorts of peepur, more than the proverbial hundred kinds, eating the same rice.  But there are the super rich whom you'd only desire if they come, bring their wealth along, and add to the GDP.  Their level of integrity is questionable, and I dare say, even the Chinese themselves would spit at them.

Then, there are the professionals or those with at least some good backgrounds, mostly honest, hardworking, and cultured.  They can add to our talent pool.  And yes, they are likely to be able to have a meal with Mr Singh and please him because they can speak English.

Lastly there are the peasants who will recreate Singapore of the early 1900s to the mid 1900s. 

Which would you prefer?

China today's educational level is not the lowest comparing with many countries. There are 10 million graduates annually. Double of Singapore population. 

The criteria of Singapore new citizenship application will screen the masses. Not easy to apply successfully.

Only those universities with a number which starts with a "2" are worth talking about.  Nothing pisses off a Chinese from such a university more than seeing his tongzhi also working here, drawing a high salary with a degree from a university without a "2".

You can be from RI or Monk's Hill.  But you sit for the same exam marked by Cambridge, and if you do well in it, you do well, regardless.

But when you are from some University of Mao, and there's no common exam...this is not the ancient Imperial exam or one marked by a common eternal exam board....and someone else sits for the Tsinghua exam, and these are two different exams, you know it's pretty much suspect.

In a recent TV program, one middle Eastern lady with a Chinese mother professed openly that she  is  proud to be a Chinese .

If one's root is Chinese, it's only natural to be proud of one's genesis.
It's hard to fathom why people of Chinese ancestry detest their  own race.
