My Chinese Malaysian relatives have become prosperous in spite of the institutionalised racism of the Malay govt. This shows the drive and intelligence of the Chinese against all odds.

Cina keep a low profile , do hard task and ask hard questions

Malayu labeh labeh…relax onside and free ride along

China has all the underground secret societies and gangs, big political parties CCP / KokMinTang / DPP have some background too

Malaysia has handouts for Malays.

In SG, handouts to the PAP elites, a massive leg up for grassroots leaders and for the taxpayers, some chicken wings i.e. CDC vouchers.

Well said by this MY Cina chap! Will the COMMUNIST Tiongs please get the different definitions of nationality, ethnicity and language right, if you consider yourself an advanced nation.

None of the dispora origin countries like Ireland, Italy, Yugoslavia, Spain, Greece, Scandinavia, iNcredible India, various Muddle Eastern and African countries I can’t name, place any expectations of association on their overseas folks now holding more powderful passports.

A film made in China about the history of immigrants to Southeast Asia has sparked debate over identity among Singapore's largely Chinese population, with some accusing the filmmakers of disseminating propaganda. Dear You has sparked a debate on national identity in Singapore. Centered on 19th and 20th-century migration from China and qiaopi (remittance letters) sent to families in Southeast Asia, the blockbuster has raised concerns over Beijing's soft power and the loyalty of the ethnic-Chinese diaspora.

Mainstream commentary in Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao categorized the film as a successful "united front" tactic. The argument suggests that by deeply connecting with the ancestral roots of the Southeast Asian Chinese diaspora, the film operates as cultural influence.

Former foreign policy officials, such as Bilahari Kausikan, have warned that if Singaporeans adopt external, China-centric versions of identity, it threatens the multiracial foundation of the country.

Well if PAP has betrayed Singkees and sell us to Cecaland, the Chinese can also betrayed PAP by pledging allegiance to Tiongland.

In meritocratic S'pore, Abdul Rahim Mawasi who is the executive chairman of Darul Aman Mosque and Sallim Mattar Mosque believe in helping themselves. He was charged with graft.

You're blinded by the superficial yellowskin cultural sentimentality and fail to see the demonic monster that is the CCP regime.

It is a hybrid of Marxism, ancient Chinese feudalism and soulless technocracy (similar to the PAP regime).

A world led by China in its current state will be a dark and unpleasant place. Many of the (few remaining) freedoms you take for granted now will be gone.

Leaders of both China and S'pore swear by Sun Tze's "The Art of War".

Romanticised onscreen nostalgia clashes deeply with the gritty reality

the relatives back in our hometown would send letters every so often, demanding all kinds of things, from Hero brand fountain pens and bicycles to refrigerators and televisions, and even requests to repair the old house or build a new one. There were four of us siblings in the family at the time, all still in primary or secondary school.

My mother believed my aunt’s demands knew no bounds. She was forever asking for more. My father had paid for her university education, and even after she married a Teochew man and had two children, the requests kept coming. He never turned her down, believing he owed her for the years she had spent caring for his ageing mother back home.

My mother was the one who resented it most. She scrimped and saved every day, while we children didn’t even have a bicycle of our own. Yet she still had to go through my uncle in Hong Kong to order goods and have them sent back to our hometown. Even then, our relatives back home were picky about brands, specifying exactly which ones they wanted.

The conversation turned to United Front work. The more I listened, the more uncomfortable I became. Finally, I said, “I’m ethnically Chinese, but I’m not Chinese.” It wasn’t a rejection of my cultural roots, but an affirmation of my identity and who I am.

at least in chaoshan (潮汕) they still speak teochew and encourage locals to continue the practice, festivals and celebration of ancient art, dance, traditions and customs of old dynasties starting from sui then tang.

Local leaders are elected in china. Instead of a monarch, you have the communist Party.
