Throughout history, immigrant minority groups that have over generations, achieved significant economic success within their host countries are often resented. Chinese minorities in Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines are prominent examples. During racial riots in Indonesia in 1998, over 1,000 ethnic Chinese were killed, their homes and businesses destroyed and communities terrorised. Historically, many Chinese immigrants achieved wealth through entrepreneurship and investment in education, eventually becoming a highly affluent group per capita. When a visible minority achieves disproportionate economic success, resentment is triggered in the majority population. The majority may view this success as an unfair accumulation of influence, leading to envy or even collective violence. The animosity against Chinese entrepreneurs and Indian professionals in parts of Asia and the West, has also been directed at Jews throughout history.

During his 2002 National Day Rally speech, then PM Goh Chok Tong famously labelled emigrating S'poreans as "quitters". However, his own daughter, Jin Theng, resides permanently in London, England. Did Woody Goh also consider her among the quitters?

Spending money earned in S'pore in Johor makes financial sense. With the cost of living and inflation rising in S'pore, cross border trips allow us to stretch our dollars using the favourable exchange rate for food, groceries, wellness and leisure. For S'poreans, maximising personal finances is a rational response to the economic realities in the most expensive city in the world.

Only 1000 killed? Israelis Jewish immigrants killed over 100000 in middle East directly and maybe another 300k indirectly just last 3 years
 
In Sinkieland, the infamous 'racial riots' of 1964 were most likely caused by shit stirring by LKY from behind the scenes for his political agenda.

But of course, such a narrative would never be taught in MOE schools. :cool:

LKY follows the principle in The Art of War, where Sun Tzu's divide and rule or divide and conquer applies to 2 main principles: to split the enemy's forces to have a numerical advantage and to divide a united population into smaller, manageable racial groups to weaken the people under PAP rule.

Malays in S'pore feel that meritocracy is racial discrimination since they cannot compete with the other races on a level-playing field.
