So, what is Halimah Yacob’s biological descent? Indian Muslim Father + Chinese Mother? Can anyone verify?
***
There are all sorts of rumors surrounding Halimah. Whilst I do not support her on grounds of not being a Malay per se and the way the constitution was amended to cover her limitations, I am against Halimah bashing.
Can anyone verify that she was born to a Chinese mother and adopted by a Malay. People in the neighbourhood where she grew up should know. They can help to rubbish this claim if untrue.
There are also claims that she studied in Singapore Chinese Girls School. Her primary school classmates, school mates and teachers can either confirm or rubbish this claim.
This claim is substantiated by quoting Halimah herself. She said that from the age of 8 she was raised by the Malay mother. If so, it is asked who raised her before that, Her Chinese mother???
Also how many Malay parents enrolled their children in Singapore Chinese Girls School in the 60s -70s. If Halimah studied there then her Chinese mother a hawker, must have enrolled her there.
Halimah will not get my vote. That is my considered choice. I will also not be a bystander and watch wicked lies smear a person. Lies repeated over and over becomes the truth. As level headed Singaporeans we have a responsibility to vindicate Halimah and put the rumours to rest if they are indeed rumours.
