Pls ask your grandfather

Ask my grandfather?  He dieded in sg even before I was born.  Presumably he and my grandma left china to Singapore in search of a better life.  There you have it.

Nationality has nothing to do with race.  Only low ses sgreans and boomer chinese helicated (that's where helicopter came about due to their inability to enunciate in proper English) like to associate with their perceived "motherland" because of their own poor self esteem.

My motherland is Singapore, not China.  I can appreciate tiong culture, but I know I am never one of them, or want to be

I do NS to fight and defend Singapore.  Not tiongkok
