However when I changed the word from Malays ...to S'poreans ...it suddenly make sense.
There are 2 reasons for this risk
1. Singaporeans have one of the lowest birth rates in the world.
2. Singapore imports more immigrants per capita than other countries.
Combining the 2 factors the % of Singaporeans will shrink until very small. While extinction is absolute, we become as good as extinct when there are very few long term Singaooreans around us.
Who's the enemy?
