Serious Ong Ye Kung: Sinkie Chinks Always Act In All Sinkie's Interest!

Pearl Lee
The Chinese community, which makes up the majority in Singapore, has always acted in the interests of the wider society, Education Minister (Higher Education and Skills) Ong Ye Kung said yesterday in Parliament.

"When necessary, the community has made important compromises to protect Singapore's values of multiculturalism and multiracialism," said Mr Ong in Mandarin, as the House entered Day Two of the debate on proposed changes to the elected presidency.

One example of the community compromising was when it agreed to have English as the state's working language, he added.



This is why he believes the community will understand the need to safeguard minority representation in the president's office.

"All races need to have the chance of being elected president. This is the only way that our president can be a symbol of multiracial Singapore," he said.

But apart from being a unifying figure who can connect with Singaporeans from all walks of life, the president must also have the financial acumen to manage the country's reserves, said Mr Ong.

so where are our unions?our welfare and retirement social security?

also i believe our national and state language was supposed to be malay,instead of making the national language malay,and each individual race keeping their own languages and dialect and culture,we threw it all away to suck the ang moh's cocks.now we are identityless and orphan nation unlike the taiwanese and hong kongese that still preserves their culture.

How on earth is our national language Malay when nearly 80% of the citizens don't speak or understand Malay save for a handful of army commands and certain Malay words that have been incorporated into singlish? It's just a national language on paper.

I can get by in Johor by using Mandarin and English. I see some m&ds here and there and I gesture to them or use simple english words so that they can understand.

So why is malay the national language when so few speak it? Most of the older generation don't use m&d either. They get by with their local dialects.
