Mr Speaker, Thank you, and congratulations.
Following our two elections this year, some commentators tell us that Singaporeans’ political differences are rising to the surface. Many of our leaders have expressed their concerns about the differences. They warned of divisions and called for unity. I’d like to remind us that differences are not divisions. It is the intolerance of differences that will be divisive.
I would like to quote a man who is not able to join us here today. In a newspaper interview, former Minister for Foreign Affairs George Yeo related what a Roman Catholic cardinal told him about the late Pope John Paul the Second. The cardinal had drafted, “Even though we’re all different because we speak different languages, we are one”. The Pope corrected him. “No, it is not even though we’re different, we are one. It is because we are different, we are one.” Mr Yeo then said, “I thought that was so profound and beautiful. In my first speech to the United Nations, I repeated that story because in the UN, it is also because we are different that we are one. To be a human being is to be different. The whole logic and driving force of biological life is diversification. An imposed unity is a false unity; it’s a contradiction in terms. To me, that is a core position, and Singapore is an expression of that core position.”

Chen Show Mao is my idol, just politically.![]()
Me also cannot find.
But when one touches on something so close to that which our children recites practically everyday, one does expect more (enlightenment) to follow.
Remember the old Chinaman who had 10 squabbling sons? Back then and through time no Chinese scholar has ever told the old man, hey old man, your sons are born different, you should tinker with their genes and not play around with 10 chopsticks.
I have nothing against Chen SM. This irrelerance is mainly for those who award superlative accolades to the piece.
I can see the politics of envy at play here. The truth is pretty simple as in all things. The PAP were all dumbstruck when they heard such a deeply profound speech from Chen SM. Those among the PAP who claim to be deepset in chinese culture were embarrassed and just could not muster any rebuttal to that now famous speech. PAP supporters like u were disappointed to know that their masters were no match for Chen, at least in this instance, and have to come to this forum to discredit his pearls of wisdom. There's only one word for you guys - pathetic. PAP is really getting worse by the day that they now let jealousy gets the better of them.
Small issue? Perhaps. Jealousy? No. Important? Certainly. It is relevant to what our children pledge as one united people practically everyday.
Are you guilty of what Low TK accused the PAP of doing in parliament?
Are you trying to muzzle by branding a critic with unsavoury motivation?
Dear Liongsum,
I do not think it would be fruitful for you to try and debate with some of the people here over their idols, even though most probably they don't really understand the context, historical nuance of CSM's speech either. They would only know "it was so profound" but wouldn't really know what depth it was all about.
It doesn't matter about who is right who is wrong here. It is also almost impossible to convince anyone to anything here. We just say our piece and life still goes on with sun rising from the East and setting on the West. Of course, there will be a lot of fanatic insects flying around, just ignore them.
You may think that the most devilish scheming comes from the big brother bully, but nope. You may be surprised to learn that the most devilish plotting, scheming, lies, smearing and dirty tricks just come from fanatic supporters of some opposition parties. Yes, they are as dirty and full of hypocrisy as the opponents they claimed to be. Basically, morals are pretty lacking in these people and thus, this forum. Or rather, they are turning it into a cult of their own but most probably, the problems are not created by the people or party they chose to worship. There are just some mental illness of some sorts and it is very contagious.
So, just relax.
