The Chinese are not yet a majority for now.  Only about half a million of them here which, nevertheless, is big enough to open many eateries, even at Bugis.

The majority is actually the Malaysians.  About 1 million.

If we allow one nationality to hang up their flag, soon you will be seeing the flags of the Philippines, Myanmar, Vietnam, MALAYSIA, Indonesia, Thailand, all the countries of Europe..........

And you know what?  The Chinese will wave red flags to protest and say "That is NOT allowed!"

Only they can hang up the flag of the Peepurs' Republic of China.   As a concession, we may hang the Singapore flag but only on National Day. 

Already, we are not allowed to mention Lunar New Year.  Must say Chinese New Year or else, we would be hurting the glass hearts of 1 point 4 billion Chinese wor. 

It's Chinese NEW YEAR, and not Lunar New Year.

Only the Muslims celebrate a lunar calendar new year but the Chinese New Year is a lunisolar calendar date.

The Chinese calendar isn't a lunar calendar. Instead it's lunisolar—meaning that it's based on measurements of the phases of the moon, but also on the position of the sun in the sky.
