V Balakrishnan should learn that Anti-foreigner is not equal to anti-minorities

[Confuseous]

Calling on Sinda youths to keep Singapore open, Vivian Balakrishnan made a curious point “’The person who contemptuously speaks about immigrants could also be capable of turning against the minorities here at home”.

The reality is that the statement is a hyperbole, and not in sync with the current reality. Unhappiness with foreigners has nothing to do with discriminating against minorities, it has to do with being displaced from jobs, being at a disadvantage due to national service obligations, the list goes on. There is no need to look any further than a Bloomberg report which states that 70% of the 122,600 jobs created went to foreigners.

A communication skills expert who teaches medical practitioners the finer art of communication with patients once said “to build a close rapport with your patients, you need to validate their emotions, to acknowledge how they feel about their illness and put them into emphatic words”. Certainly, Balakrishnan who was a medical practitioner will be very much familiar with this. This clinical situation can be extended to politics, empathising with the masses brings you support while condemning their concerns is only going to result in a voter backlash.

Vivian is a clown...all he needs to do is to admit PAP govt has fail to ensure a proper preparation of infrastructure and also integration programmes when they started this program of mass import of foreignors.

Instead by deflecting and raising race issues, he is just but looking like a stupid clown.

Anyway, he was a debater in school days, and he is just using one of those debating tricks.

TO VIVIAN - this is not a debate! this concerns lives, livelihood of a lot of Singaporeans. Can u stop using this moral high ground strategy to solve a problem which is started by your predecessors. All u need to do is to STAND UP! Blame it on the previous administration. Yes, it will be awkward. But that is the TRUTH and if you are a good Minister, and wants people to respect u, u need to do that!

Blame chinese as usual for everything. Racism always from the chinese! There's this invisible racism from the chinese that you cannot see but it's there! Oh wait you can see it. The min a chinese doesn't kiss a keling's ass that's racist.

Fully agree. Vivian, an school deabter is using "boys" debating tricks to deflect failures and mismangement of mass imports of FTs without getting the ground ready. He should just stand up and say that its the fault of GCT and the the old admin. But alas...he cares more for his rice bowl i guess and do not have the COURAGE TO SPEAK OUT INDEPENDENTLY.

Thats why i always say PAP mps cannot be independent cos they are afraid to finger point their own party members' failures for fear of their own rice bowl.

There is nothing wrong being nationalistic....it has nothing to do with racism.

Seriously this usual beating of the dead horse tatic of blaming chinese for everything would surely embolden some minorities. In some forums you can see malays making online police reports on small remarks made PRESUMBLY by chinese forummers. Oh then will there be an even bigger reason to complain of racism cos somehow if it was a keling that made that remark yes still racist but somehow not so offensive.

Anyway now we have these minorities emboldened by shit like this and will find all means and ways to blame chinese ppl even online for small little remarks and call that racist. Chinese comments that malays are lazy. Report police! Chinese comments that malays like to put tattoes. Report police!

Meanwhile they have no problems whatsoever calling chinese ppl nerds, idiots, ugly, chink, gook and that's perfectly fine. Is this fair? Is this logical? I think this time around ppl wouldn't be taken in. Even though there are still a significant number of chinese dogs around or chinese that kiss minorities ass i think they might be getting tired of it.

I hope he gets demoted or kicked out of Pappy. Look at how he fucked up the yog and yet does not even suffer any punishment. I bet he's some type of asshole bandit or probably screws ass loong in bed.

He is just a smooth talker cos he was an ex debater. If he is really that good as a doctor, he would have been in that profession and earning bigger bucks...I know all these debaters .... they are just out to score points using their mouths and not their hearts.

So i suppose he somehow talked his way out of fucking up the yog and also out of the racist remarks he made in sinda. I guess the PAP must have lots of idiots to allow him to get away then.

LHL is born with silver spoon in his mouth? He is neither street smart like LKY. He tends to trust people too easily...so clowns like Vivian, Teo Ser Luck and a whole host of jokers can scheme thru the tea parties... tats why the PAP will only attract these self serving jokers...including of course Khaw !
