The Hongkies and singkies are not the same,,,there might be similarities like British colony etc,,,but any similarities ended in the 60s. Singkieland is dominated by Hokkeins who are nothing but kiasu, kiasee, kiam siap, kia bor and die don't want face. HK is dominated by Cantonese..and their attitudes are much different. They gone through the hard times and now life for them is still hard...the Hongkies now are fighting to keep their culture and their language. The singkies gave it all up and wholeheartedly support the Speak mandarin campaigns by old fart,,,look at the youth now, the culture and the past is lost on them,,they cant even speak their own dialects,,,and the hokkeins and ah bengs can speak some hokkein,,but its more to curse and swear at others,,,and the worse thing is soo many hokkeins say speak mandarin is good,,less confusion and despite this less confusion the English and Mandarin standards are dropping...and now chap chye language is more common,,,so what good did speak mandarin campaign did? Hokkeins are not even loyal to their own language,,,look at Taiwan they are majority hokkeins,,but speak mandarin,,, Look at the Taiwanese attitude,,when a Taiwanese meet another Taiwanese overseas they speak mandarin,,,but when A Hongkie meet another Hongkie they speak Cantonese...see the difference in attitudes? Another Taiwanese attitude which exemplifies their kiasuism,..they keep saying they want to maintain the status quo,,but deep in their hearts,,they prefer to merge with the commies but they don't want to show it outwardly,,what kind of shit attitude is that? This is the same as the SIngkie attitude when it comes to erections,,,kpkb about pap, but in the end vote pap,,,than kpkb again,,and when I say why vote pap? they say no choice lah,,,I vote pap but I hope opp win,,,i want my hdb price to go up....this sort of fucking logic,,,,I am a half breed fuckien and I see the differences in both sides of the family,,,hokkiens are one fucking kind,,,
Agree wholeheartedly. Compare Singapore to HK youth - a whole different lot. Politically engaged, prepared to voice their concerns and prepared to act. Their parents were the same. And both came from the same stock.
Another feature is the reluctance to engage in discussions in the office with anything to do with politics. Where to buy durians ranks very high and which tuition teacher is good, and ones's overseas travel destination.
