[h=2]Dr Ng Eng Hen urges netizens to speak up against ‘bigotry’[/h]Posted by temasektimes on July 9, 2012


As social tension between native Singaporeans and foreigners continue to rise in Singapore, Defence Minister Dr Ng Eng Hen has called on netizens to speak up against ‘bigotry’.

Speaking at the first Orange Ribbon Walk organized by a pro-PAP civil group, Dr Ng said Singaporeans should nip racial and religious intolerance.
“We should not let the few with divisive words erode the confidence and trust many have built over the years,” he said.

He added that the ‘silent majority’ who value religious and racial harmony need to ‘speak up’ against ‘unjust’ and ‘bigoted’ views.

Dr Ng was speaking in the aftermath of the arrest of two 17 year old Singaporean males last week for posting racist remarks on Facebook.
Being the alternative news site with the highest readership in Singapore, the Temasek Times strongly condemn all forms of racism and bigotry. However we urge the authorities to be FAIR and JUST in the application of the laws – so far, only Singaporeans were arrested for posting racist remarks while foreigners making worse remarks were let off the hook.

[h=2]Mr Hen, stop biting the hand that feeds you[/h]

Hello Sinkies,

Don’t fall for Mr Ng’s paltry (poultry?) attempts to misdirect you.

Yes, we can see the anti-foreign feeling everywhere we look. But why is this feeling so widespread? Is it because Sinkies suddenly woke up and discovered their true intolerant nature?

NO.

It’s because Sinkies suddenly woke up and saw they were in danger of being outnumbered by the hordes of foreign bodies that the government, elected and paid for by citizens, has chosen to mass-import.

And the reason given, that Sinkies have failed to reproduce themselves, is ALSO because of government policies. Starting from the stop-at-two social engineering, all the way through the excessive housing prices from the 1990s onwards and the explosion of other fees and charges (for instance, did you notice that medical bills went to the sky after LHL was treated at great cost for cancer in the 1990s?). Financial stress = fewer kids. Look at Hong Kong and Macau: same problem.

Mr Hen has failed to accept responsibility for his own government creating unhappiness among its own customers. You, the citizens of Singapore. Therefore, Sinkies of the world, unite and let the government know this:

If the government doesn’t stop biting the hand that feeds it, that hand will rise up and slap the dentures right out of the government’s mouth. And there will be nothing to stuff their faces with any more.

Justice Pow:
* Comment first appeared in: Is Ng Eng Hen suggesting the ‘loud majority’ are bigots?

The PAP just won't admit that they screwed up on the foreigner first policy. Don't they get human nature? When one's turf is being invaded and basic needs are being taken away, of course, the owner will fight back.
It is the PAP who brought out the worse in Singaporeans. To solve the problem - get rid of the PAP and expel at least 75 percent of the foreigners.

 

[scroobal]

when you have non establishment people who can't differentiate between xenophobia and the social ills of employment displacement, overcrowding, in inequitable dispensation of justice - honestly what do you expect.

 

[Prometheus888]

When a govt like the PAP's refuses to solve a problem which is so obvious, they try to conjure a dastardly and ugly prejudice so that they can push everyone into extremes of the spectrum.... so because you are having these anti foreigner feelings, you are suddenly a bigot ... thats laughable....

just like how I am totally fed up with PAP i am also anti-government?


LOL!!!!!!

 

[methink]

So we are bigots when we speak up against injustices, inequality, unfairness?

We are bigger bigots if we speak against the PAP's wrong policies?

 

[lee6100]

There is no worse bigotry than discriminating against your own citizens in favour of foreigners.

The papies sure is not stopping you!

 

[Capano2121]

If there are any bigotry in Singapore, then the only person or persons guilty of these shall ultimately be the one & only shits in whites drawing million dollars salary doing nothing & imposing their whims & fancy on citizens!

 

[The Philistine]

This fucking country is no longer the same country which I used to like when I was a kid.

What country? This is a fucking corporation.

 

[kingrant]

I'm afraid that citizens loyal to Singapore should continue to employ bigotry and maintain pressure on the govt until it recognises the error of its ways and policies and for "care less " attitude to them. Too bad the newcomers become collateral damage in the cross fire between PAP govt and a people fedup with them.

We are expecting better things, with the money we are paying, that is what we are expecting! GREED is the word! Ask that "hen' why he gave up a good practice on cancer to join the government? Money? Power? Connections? isn't his wife the CEO of KKH?? i
