Singapore’s President Halimah should realise this. She is not the President for Muslim Singaporeans only. She is the President for all Singaporeans, regardless of race, language or religion. Why is she only
dressed up as a Muslim, regardless of the occasion? With the addition of a mask, she looks like a Japanese Ninja or worse, an Islamist terrorist.
In neighboring Malaysia, which has declared itself an Islamic nation, there are Muslim female officials who carry out their official duties in public without their Muslim headdresses. Why can’t President
Halimah do it?
There are many other areas where it is more necessary to insist on the Islamic ways than the workplace. Take the case of sports. Muslim females have been ruled out of competitive sports because the sports wears
would be against Islamic rules. Even group activity like cheerleading would be out too, again because of the costumes. Why is there no Muslims concern about the lack of religious equality or about the ideals of diversity and inclusiveness in these areas?
Its because Muslim males are not ruled out in these areas. While the modesty of the Muslim females are preserved, their males can still get physically close to non-Muslims females who come immodestly dressed.
The Muslims in Singapore should learn to give and take. They cannot have it all their way. Already, Western fastfood in Singapore is Islamised which is very unfair to the Non-Muslims majority.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the economy is in bad shape and jobs are hard to come by. It is not surprising that Singaporeans are sensitive about the employment of foreigners in their country. This is happening
in every country, not only SG. While Singaporeans should have priority over foreigners over jobs, it should continue to remain open to talents from all over the world.
I agree with the PM that Singapore should always be open to the world. The trouble is that it is not seen to be fair and equal in this strategy. Under this broad strategy, it has signed an agreement like CECA
with India. This enables Indians to come to seek employment easily in SG. With how many other countries has it signed an agreement like CECA?

That picture may be fake but it does not mean that there is no validity in Singaporeans complain. What about showing the statistics on the racial profile of DBS foreign employees? Or display the group pictures of
foreign staffs in DBS branches? Let Singaporeans see how different they are from the one in India.
Those who complain may be employees of companies who have seen things with their own eyes. Singaporeans who work in the Business Districts and Industrial Parks around SG cannot fail to notice the proportion of
Indians. It far exceeds the proportion of ethnic Indian-Singaporeans in the nation's population. The government should not dismiss the whole issue as fake because of one fake picture. It would be ignoring the problem at its own risk.
Look how this Indian Singaporean is using his high post in Singapore to work for the interest of India.

Hey, this India banker running Singapore's DBS Bank made DBS invest in India. When an unrelated Indian bank got into financial difficulty, the Indian government, using a law unique to India, made DBS take over the
bankrupt Indian bank! This is daylight robbery.
Every Indian I met here said they were bankers in India!!!
There must be a lot of banks in India!!!!
Now Singapore's SIA, one of the world's top airlines, which had also invested in India, has also been forced to take over an ailing Indian airline! Another daylight robbery!
The Singapore government must stop hankering and salivating after Indian investment "opportunities", and making Singapore companies invest in India, and allowing Indian labour to enter Singapore on unheard off
generous terms. They are investment traps.
Wakalukong
Bankers or bankrupts? Indians are good liars. That's why Trump likes them. They lie that they are bankers when, actually, they are bankrupts.
Here's an interesting twist of events. Singapore is busy fighting a new wave of the covid-19 pandemic which is believed to be due to the new Indian variant of the coronavirus. Now India is claiming it is being endangered
by a new Singapore strain if the virus.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSGGf3ABZaI
This Indian media supports the claim of the existence of the Singapore variant.
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/health-news/coronavirus-singapore-variant-all-we-know-about-the-singapore-covid-variant-right-now/photostory/82760427.cms
Chinese man pushed down Indian woman, Chinese woman in MRT coach asking for the racial identity of a passenger, now this case of a Chinese guy advising an Indian to have a girlfriend of his own race. Where is the racism? Now
this guy with a Chinese girlfriend is being made into an Indian hero who fights against Chinese racism, though he is only half-Indian. Police reports made, actions taken, with Minister Shanmugam speaking for the victims.
That’s enough. All these would lead people to believe that in Singapore, only the Chinese are racists, the other races are always their victims. This is so racially biased against the Chinese. The racial minorities are not
so innocent when it comes to racism. There are many anti-Chinese racists among the non-Chinese in Singapore. There are many incidents to prove this. Let’s look at only two of them.
A Malay racist spat repeatedly at a Chinese lady at a bus station.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfI_l2DpGsE
An Indian racist who spew vulgarities at Chinese. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E3z7mPVReQ
They were not as intensely reported as those recent incidents. What was the punishment? Did those racists lose their jobs? The Indians involved were always reported as being drunk. This means diminished responsibility leading
to lighter sentence.
Now is not the time to stir up racial troubles. The new variant of a virus originating in India is still spreading. Let’s deal with objectively, “regardless of race, language or religion”. Singapore was on its way to
full recovery from the pandemic when it was hit by a new wave of infections. Its all because the government has been too lax when it comes to Indians. If only the government had cut-off travels from India as early as it did for China during the first
wave.The government should screen carefully everyone coming out of India or been to India ,without fear of being labeled “racist”.
Even when we are in the midst of a pandemic, we are starting a racial squabble. MSM, social media, Ministers, Opposition Leader and now, even the President, are involved. They all point to one view: In Singapore, the Chinese
majority is the perpetrator of racism and the racial minorities are always the victims. This itself is racism, anti-Chinese racism to be precise. The truth is that racism happens both ways. The Chinese are victims of racial prejudice too. There are many
videos available online to prove this. One previous post has referred to two. Here’s another one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyNOq9vUbd4
The media is just as guilty. Racially derogatory terms such as ‘cheena’ and ‘pigs’ have been used to refer to the Chinese in the media.
Recent incidents have again renewed the call for Singaporeans to forget their race but only recognise their nationality. Similar to what’s happening in the US, there’s a cancel culture in Singapore. Racial minorities,
especially those of mixed races(the minority of minorities) here want to cancel out racial identity. Its not any noble cause or belief. Its cunning racism. It’s only when they are in Singapore where they form the racial minorities that they want
everyone to forget about race. In countries where they would be the racial majority, they would sing a different tune while passionately embracing their racial origin. If these countries recognise their racial origin due to their achievements in
Singapore, they would feel proud of it.

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/nri/who-are-the-highest-ranking-indian-origin-leaders-globally-here-is-the-list/articleshow/80964410.cms
Did any of those leaders in Singapore wrote to the newspapers in India to declare that they are not Indians or people-of-Indian-origin but Singaporeans?
Race is a fact of humanity. Being identified with a race is not being racist. Being proud of one’s race is not being racist. But its racist to cancel out racial identity. Its bloodless genocide!
What the hell is going on? Where is the justice? In every racial dispute, in the past and recently, its always the Chinese fault. Its the Chinese who lost their jobs, brought under police investigation and referred to the
Institute of Mental Health(IMH).
Latest one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHsiqsW6XSA
Isn’t the Hindu Indian in the wrong? He is too insensitive towards his neighbors. He has no regard for good neighborliness. He is only concerned about stamping his Indianness on his neighbors. The bell he uses sounds too loud
and irritating. Again the video is misleading. From the angle of view, it must have been taken by someone from the Indian’s residential unit. The video shows the man rings the bell only for a short while. That’s probably because of the gong. Normally,
he must have rung it too long and too frequently to drive his neighbors crazy. Indian edited media like the ST and Todayonline report the case as a Chinese disturbing an Indian performing his religious routine. Chinese woman is assumed to be at fault.
She is being investigated by police. Maybe its the IMH for her too.
Recent cases.
Chinese guy advising an Indian to have a girlfriend of his own race.
Watch the video. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/man-who-posted-video-on-racist-encounter-aims-to-raise-awareness-about-racism-in-singapore
Is it only Chinese objecting to mixed-race relationship? Ask the couple. Do they get disapproving looks only from Chinese? Indians, especially the girls, will not be happy that an Indian guy is going out with a Chinese girl. Its
depriving them of their chances.
The Chinese guy was concerned that an Indian guy might be preying on a Chinese girl. He is being protective of Chinese girls. Perhaps he has known of cases of Indians preying on Chinese girls. And there are plenty of such cases.
Just to mention a few.
1. Indian males pinch the butts of Chinese girls. Most annoying is that they will do it when another Chinese male is walking pass the girl, making the victim believes that the Chinese male is the culprit.
2. One beauty contestant, who was known for using the word “boomz”, was molested by an Indian male in broad daylight.
3. One well known Chinese female blogger was molested multiple times by Indians.
4. Several cases of serial molests of Chinese girls by Indian males. In one case in the 1990’s, one Indian male molested almost 20 Chinese females before he was arrested. He was charged in court. His sentence? Sent to India for
meditation!
5. It not just ordinary people. Even high-ranking Chinese females are not spared. During one official event, a Chinese female MP was seated beside an Indian male on stage. As she left her seat to give her speech at the podium, the
Indian male stretched his arm across the back of her seat. Upon her return from her speech, she had to sit up ramrod straight in order not to appear being intimate with the Indian male. That Indian male never took his arm away until the event ended. If
an Indian dare to do this to a Chinese female MP in full public view, what would Indians not do to ordinary Chinese females in ordinary circumstances?
6. There are many unsolved/unreported cases of Indian males molesting Chinese females. There are many large notice boards, set up by the police, asking for witnesses. Many of these cases happen where construction works are on-
going or have recently finished. Those workers are mostly South-Asians, mostly Indians. Their modus operandi is simple. While at work, look out for quiet spots around the area. After work, or on rest days, return to molest Chinese girls at those spots..
7. Chinese girls raped by Indians. Can happen on the the girl’s first date with an Indian guy.
I have listed only 7 of many more cases. They are not just about sexism but racism. How often do we hear about Indians molesting and raping their own kind? Its a fact that Indian males have a tendency to prey on Chinese females.
Singaporeans, especially Chinese, should appreciate what this Chinese guy has said and done in public. He is highlighting the very serious issue of anti-Chinese sexism and racism. He should be commended. Instead he is turned into a pariah while the half-
Indian is turned into “a hero who fights against Chinese racism”.
The case of Beow Tan
All Beow Tan’s own videos have been deleted from Youtube and she has been silenced. Its now almost impossible to understand the issue from her perspective. But this video may help.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9gTtYDZrzg
Ignore the loud clown who is obviously biased against Beow Tan because he is non-Chinese. I have used his video because it has some of Beow Tan’s own videos which provide some important historical info about the case.
It started some years ago when Beow Tan had a Malay family as neighbor. The Malay family coerced Beow Tan to be married to their son. She declined. They pestered her until she had to report them to the police and sought more than
one MPs’ help. Instead of the matter ending there, it was the beginning of her nightmare. For the next 7 to 8 years, she was harassed and assaulted by Malay strangers. She had made many police reports on the attacks. Her experiences make her suspicious
of Malays. She developed a phobia for Malays, especially when they are present in groups around or near to her.
Based on her past experiences, one can conclude that Beow Tan is one poor Chinese victim of organised harassment and assaults by anti-Chinese Malay racists. She deserves all the support and sympathy she can get. She also deserves
protections from the authority. Instead, she lost her job and was referred to the IMH. Is this fair?
The case of Beow Tan reveals something sinister about the racial minorities in Singapore. For the Chinese, being a victim of sexist and racist crimes committed by the racial minorities against them is only half the story. The
other half is worse. After their complaints go public, they will face further harassment and assaults by the racial minorities. These are not carried out by random individual nor are they spontaneous. They are carried out in a well organised and
orchestrated manner. One method is to provoke you to make racist remarks against racial minorities. This has not only happened to Beow Tan. It has happened to the Chinese preys of Indians sexists and racists mentioned earlier. It will happen to any
Chinese whose dispute with the racial minorities become public. It will happen to the Chinese woman beating the gong. It will happen to the Chinese guy who warn the Indian against preying on Chinese woman. Of course I too will not be spared.
The police have not done a proper job in dealing with racial issues.. It should be going after organised anti-Chinese racism, be more diligent in solving sex crimes committed by the racial minorities against Chinese, instead of
wasting their time on investigating the Chinese in minor racial disputes.
The judiciary system should not assume that the racial minorities are always the victims whom it has to protect more than the racial majority. No more such stupid sentence as one which send an Indian serial molester to India for
meditation, pls.
https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/astar-scientist-performed-sexual-act-in-common-area-of-condominium
Indian power in the media is showing up. Just because it is mentioned that Indians are sexists and racists, Indian-infested ST has now, and will continue, to prominently report any sex crimes committed by non-Indians, with full
names, photos, warts and all.
What happen to the Indian who raped a Chinese teenage girl under the shelter of a pavilion in a nature park? The authorities have completely demolished and flattened the pavilion but what has been done to the rapist? Why no
newspaper report on it?
Indians are notorious rapists. Even animals are not spared.

We know about the big picture. Singapore must be opened to the world, trade freely with the world, be cosmopolitan, etc..
Those are not the issues. The issue is specific – the increasing number of Indians in Singapore of all sorts, from ordinary folks to workers to professionals.
Why is so little publicity about race in the latest Census Report 2020? How the ethnic composition has changed over the decades since SG became independent is of interest to many. It should opened up for discussion and analysis
publicly. Is that how we want to become race-blind, by being blind to the change in our ethnic composition? And that’s only because its changing in favor of the racial minorities?
Why take in so many Indians for the PMET workforce? Not enough local talents? Our universities are the top ones in Asia. Surely our graduates can beat those from India? While Indians keep marching in to take over PMET jobs, our
graduates are being encouraged to become hawkers!
There seems to be a scheme to take Chinese in SG out of science and technology. Ch8 is mostly about food, food and more food. Why is it not having any hours on science and technology in Mandarin? China has shown that the Chinese are
good in science and technology. There are so much knowledge about science and technology in Mandarin from China. Can’t they be shown on Ch8?
Singapore has become so conducive to the success of Indians from India. There was this reported case of an Indian who arrived with $50 in his pocket and went on to thrive in SG. He couldn’t have done it in India.
The conclusion from this latest publicity about CECA is foregone.
Whenever issues of Indians are brought up, locals end up being accused of xenophobia and racist. Like all others before it, this latest episode will end up well for the Indians. The conclusion will be that SG needs more Indians. And
more Indians there will be in SG.

The issue of foreign Indian talents in Singapore.
Because it is brought up by the Opposition, it becomes political and the government summons all its resources to rebut the Opposition.
The Opposition is only presenting feedback from people on the ground. The people's dissatisfaction has been reflected in the result of the last GE.
Interestingly, why does it take a new and small Opposition party, the PSP, to bring up the case, and not the biggest Opposition party, the WP? Because the WP has an Indian chief?
The full statement from the government:
https://www.mom.gov.sg/newsroom/speeches/2021/0706-ministerial-statement-by-dr-tan-see-leng-minister-for-manpower-for-the-ps-on-6-july-21
Summary of main points:
Singapore needs talents from around the world.
High availability of Indians.
English-speaking talents preferred.
Further report from ST.
About a quarter of the 177,100 employment pass (EP) holders in Singapore hail from India, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng in Parliament on Tuesday (6 July).
"The proportion of EP holders from India has increased from about one seventh in 2005 to about a quarter in 2020," said Dr Tan, who did not give specific numbers.
Let's analyse the main points.
1. Great demand in IT and finance. Not enough locals.
"We don't have enough locals to fill the jobs available. In the infocomm sector alone today, 6,000 jobs currently remain unfilled," said Dr Tan.
Yet many of SG's ethnic Chinese graduates, are encouraged to become hawkers. Govt should go to hawker centers to recruit them for IT jobs.
2. Indians high availability.
"India's talent have continued to look outwards. It is currently the largest country of origin for international migrants.
Citing the January 2021 United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs report, Dr Tan noted that in 2020 alone, it accounted for 18 million international migrants, up by 10 million from 2000. India has also grown to become the
second largest source of immigrants in the US, and the third largest in the UK."
That's because India has no birth control. Indians are mating and breeding like pests, causing its population growth to go out of control. It's exploding. Adding to the population woe is that India is a poorly governed country. The
number of Indians struggling to get the hell out of India is enormous. Singapore should not try to be a relief valve for India's population explosion, talents not withstanding. They can easily flood out the tiny island of Singapore.
Quality is more important than availability. Can the "talents" from India be trusted? Those "talents" from India are second or third rate. The best opts to go to the West. India is notorious for massive cheating in exams and degree
mills churning out fake degrees.
More important than quality is suitability. Can they fit in well to SG's society, in terms of culture?
English Language
"There is no differentiation based on nationality: all work pass holders in Singapore have to meet the same criteria before they are allowed to enter the local labour market."
That does not mean its equal and fair to all. The weighting placed on the English Language favors the Indians.
Has the high influx of Indian "talents" been of help to Singapore's economy?
"SG's economy has grown from 20B in 1970's to over 450B now."
The economies of most countries in the world have grown during the same period. Those which have not are banana republics and failed states.
For the past decades, Singapore's economy is best characterised by low growth rate of low single digit, under low interest rate. Moreover, the technological level of the economy has declined. From the promised high-tech knowledge-based
economy, it has diverted to a low-tech service and risky finance economy. Instead of more intellectual science and technology, it's now more about human relationship skill, people- and gambling-oriented industries.
Have Indians contributed to Singapore's economy? Of course. This would be true of other nationalities and ethnicity working in Singapore.
The Indian diaspora has grown, especially in native English-speaking nations. But has its contribution to the economy of these places? In Europe, compare Germany and Britain. Non-English speaking Germany, which attracts much fewer
Indians, have done better than Britain which is a magnet for Indians.
The English speaking world, the Five Eyes for example, with huge influx of Indians, have done no better than China, which attracts few Indians.
It's not just the workforce. It's happening throughout the whole population.
Chinese proportion among SG's citizen has been in decline. From 76.9% in 2000 to below 76% in 2020. For resident population, its worse. The Chinese only makes up 74.3% of the residential population. The Indians proportions in both cases
have increased. This trend in the ethnic composition of SG continues unabated.
Singapore is a tiny nation. We should welcome talents from all over the world who can contribute to our progress. But bear this mind. Due to our small population, there are populous nations which can easily flood out Singapore in many
ways, whether in the number of talents or other criteria.
The Opposition has highlighted the issue to reflect the worries of those who have voted for it, especially during the last GE. Its performance has improved in the last election due to voters with grouses over foreigners taking over
their jobs.
The government can win the debate in Parliament but can it convince the people and win over their hearts and minds, when their own experiences tell them a different story? The next GE will reveal the answer.
As expected, the issue of CECA becomes entangled with the issues of globalisation,openness and foreign talents. It goes without having to say it that Singapore must be opened to the globalised world, and that means competing with the rest
of the world, and for that we have to welcome foreign talents. Those are not the issues. The issue is this. Is Singapore getting the best talents that it can? What are its criteria for “talents”?
We have so many Indians coming over that they change the public perception of the ethnic composition of the country. In some places like business parks and financial centers, they even form the substantial majority.
