BackFired?

Doesn't matter. One man's meat is another man's poison. I take Zhang ZiYi over GongLi anytime. Sorry hor to all GongLi's fan. Just personal preference.

from my sources, I have heard of Gong Li's defiance and prowess in bed...that's how she endears herself to men
 
Are they creme de la creme or only creme de la creme in self-absorption? Also Post-90s mean born post-90s or came post-90s?

Uncle, it's creme de la creme in self-absorption and those born post-90s.

Now we know what both of us are talking about.

If they come in at a fairly developed stage, this self-absorption might take some time to eradicate. Do they join you for lunch for example or a sports or group outing? We are all strangers to the unknown. Maybe give them some time. Keep on engaging them. Take them out from their enclaves. But I don't think what the Govt is doing is the right way. Spend a lot of money with doubtful results.

If they arrive young, say, from Primary school, good chance that they start from a clean slate and develop along the line of local children. They will develop the same accent of the Singaporean and even Singlish and unless they are very reserved, you may not find it easy to differentiate them from ordinary Singaporeans. Their Mandarin, particularly from the North, might be a give away but then they can also try to speak more 白。

For this age group, I think, the not overly rich are likely to set roots and integrate, pulling along their parents (in many cases, single parents, just their mothers). For the extremely rich, it is not easy to displace their distinct family culture and will move when their businesses move elsewhere. Or they may just follow where their Unis lead them.

I understand you have a strong stand on Taiwanese vs PRCs. But if we are talking about Chinese immigrants, the source I am truly comfortable with is Malaysia. They are culturally very similar to us, admittedly somewhat mercenary.

As for Taiwanese (you were not a Taiwanese?), I wouldn't be comfortable with the 李敖 type, very narrow in their perspective, measured on a localised set of values and understanding, suitable only for their local audience and I find many to be like that. Imagine laughing at Singaporean English. What a laugh?

So here we are. On one hand, the behaviour of the new rich (not all of them are rich). Those who travel far on their own money are. On the other hand, a bunch of country bumpkins who think they are better than you.

It is not just sex but everything they do not find back home - the tender loving care, the pampering, the satisfaction of the male ego etc.

tender loving care , sex ,etc are all part of satisfying the hubby totally and completely
 
The pap has bent over backwards to attract, sponsor and accommodate PRC students to study in SG.

I can see the huge number of PRC students at VS and VJC.

Instead of being grateful to SG, the PRC students seem to have a great hatred for SG. It seems that the pap policy to attract PRC students has severely backfired.

The pap owes all Singaporeans an explanation for misuse of public funds

these people are here for the $ and the freebies and the bestest goldenest opportunities. they are not here to serve, share, care or blend.

they are here for the money. show them the money, that's all they are interested. pronto!

agree...but why do we allow the pap to throw good SG money to swines?
 
Yes, it does look as if these policies are bad.......................

negligently using Singaporeans' money to sponsor and educate foreigners? and they go home and compete against Singapore and Singaporeans.

In the meantime some poor but intelligent singaporeans are denied an education at NUS and have to settle for lesser qualifications

Some good points. Thanks Uncle FS.

Just for the record, I have a strong stand against the argument that the PRCs and Singaporean Chinese have shared cultural traits, tracing to the same ancestral roots.

Sure we are racially similar but definitely not culturally.

Singaporean Chinese are very different from PRCs
 
That means we have to work harder and educate the 60%

You will have better luck teaching a dog to play the flute. The 60% will only learn if they suffer big time from the white bastards' policies but given their poor mental faculties, this awakening is a remote possibility.
 
The Singkies attitude towards other people from Asia is pathetic. The attitude of these other non singkie Asian students more or less reflect back on this.

Are Taiwanese and Singaporean culturally similar?

i have confidence that the 60% will wake up from their slumber
