What's your point??

I know someone who had been in China for more than ten years.  Whenever he had the chance, he would say all the bad things about Singapore,  If the Chinese praised Singapore for its cleanliness, he would tell them about our backyards, how some people urinated at HDB blocks.  If the Chinese praised Singapore for its safety, he would tell them about rape cases, and gang fights.  And he used these to say that PAP is no good....if it is good, there should be zero crime wor.

And his whining could go as far back as the time of Lee Siew Choh, then progressed to how Dr CB Tan did not win the PE (I 
wrote "CB" out of respect...please do not think of abalone hor).

To cut to the chase, he was trying to gain acceptance by the Chinese by praising Mao Tse Tung's father for making Mao Tse Tung's birth possible, and telling the Chinese that China is a glorious country, and far better than Singapore wor.

Of course, he spoke Mandarin and since his Mandarin was quite good (by Singapore's standard), he thought that he would therefore be regarded as a Chinese until the REAL Chinese sitting around the table reminded him that he was a Singaporean.  Trust me, there is a clear and distinct difference between  中国人 and 新加坡人.  Do not even try to pretend you are the former by telling 1.4 billion people that you are a Chinese, while badmouthing your own country in front of them.  

Many Chinese, truth be told, don't like the CCP but they will NEVER badmouth China.  

So, if you don't like PAP, kindly do not badmouth Singapore, can?  Is my point CLEAR enough for you?
