The Pioneer generation of Singapore. Indian Malay and Chinese.
Intense conversation in the native language of Singapore – Malay
That’s right for those of you who can’t remember, Malay is the national language of this country.
Amazes me how all 3 seamlessly got into a conversation about their age and families like they are long time friends.

I can’t change the direction of the wind,
but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
To my friends and family… yes most of us feel so much angry about the navy and their halal kitchen issue. We know and in-fact the minister himself knows that it just a lame excuse.
Hey, dont be so disheartened about that guys, what had happend semua nya ade hikmah. Allah knows what the best for us.
but it doesn’t stop us to voice out our frustration and also doesn’t stop us to excel ourselves in other sector.
Ye lah ade gak yang terkilan tak dapat masuk navy.. ade yg cita-cita dari kecik lagi. Time sekolah bila cikgu tanya dah besar nak jadi apa..kita iya iya dengan semangat “nak jadi captain atas kapal perang, Cikgu” Cikgu pun bagi semangat..ok bagus tu…kena belajar rajin2 tau…kita pun belajar lah rajin2, bapak tak mampu nak sambungkan kita sekolah, takpe, kita sekolah sambil bekerja part time.
Bila dah dapat semua Ilmu yg sepatut ade untuk apply Navy. Last last kena reject dengan alasan diberi takde halal kitchen. Tak ke terkilan…
Ilmu yg ade jangan lah disia-siakan, mohan pada Allah agar DIA tunjukkan jalan…

The recent Parliamentary sessions really demonstrated both the positive aspects and limitations of our opposition, as it stands.
MP Faisal’s question on Muslims and the navy has resulted in a discussion on the said matter. Not that he is the first person to ask this question; many Muslims have articulated similar concerns before. But because he is a parliamentarian, and because the question was asked in Parliament, the issue has gained traction. For people who always ask ‘what’s the point of having opposition MPs; all i want is a clean neighbourhood, shelters to my bus stops etc’, this is the perfect example you should consider.
At the same time, the fact that Denise Phua wasn’t challenged for her statements in Parliament – by both her colleagues and the opposition – is more than slightly disturbing to me. There was nothing unambiguous about the speech; the moment i read it i cringed. And felt angry. And was perturbed. And disappointed. In many ways, the government response to the navy question was expected, but this speech, was extraordinary. Yet, it elicited no response.
To be honest, i am just as disappointed in the opposition for not challenging her speech. An indirect Facebook status about the incident and some feel-good anecdotes to show Singapore society’s ‘tolerance’, is quite simply, not enough.
One cannot help but wonder why this is the case. Worse still, some tried to justify it by stating it is ‘a matter of choosing the wrong words’. Erm, no it isn’t. It is about the essence of the speech! Not the ‘phrasing’.
Why didn’t anyone comment on the matter? Is it because there is no political mileage in standing up for foreign workers? Or did the rest agree with her statements? Is it about foreign workers per se, or is it about Indian/South Asian foreign workers in particular (which would then indicate a racial dimension to the matter)?
Whatever the reason is, together with the other incidents (Navy and halal food, Tampines 1’s Chinese audience and people subsequently trying to justify it by stating it is a business decision, not a racial one), as a minority, one cannot help but worry about the tone of proceedings.

When the government’s attitude and relationship with an entire minority community are based on suspicion and distrust, their arguments to dance around that disgusting truth gets more and more hollow and untenable. Discrimination based on race and religion still exists and must end starting with the government. 50 years of tolerance by the minority deserves a better response than pathetic excuses to justify policies that remains on the shelf when it has long past its expiry date. The majority Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian Singaporeans (especially hdb-dwellers) are well in the road of integration, respect and tolerance. Its those few elites on top that seems out of sync in their high towers.
