Is it a "Singapore Core" or "Singaporean Core"?

In an earlier session of Parliament, the press reported Chan Chun Sing as having told the nation a “Singaporean core is not exclusive to Singaporeans.”

Actually Chan didn’t say that. If you listened carefully to his speech, he used a very different word.

The Labour Chief was very certain that he wanted to push through an idea of a “Singapore Core” and not a “Singaporean Core”.

It doesn’t sound like an accident. He repeated the word 7 times throughout his speech consistently, so we can be sure that he intended it.

Grammatically, there’s only one right answer: it’s Singaporean Core.

Semantically however, a “Singapore Core” means something else altogether. It brings to mind a nation, one people and one entity. This is in stark contrast as compared to the highly divisive, individualistic and self-centred “Singaporean Core”.

So is it “Singapore Core”? Or “Singaporean Core”?

Useless paper general = useless politician = useless motherhood statements.

Tell him to fuck off and let's not waste brain matter and time analyzing what he said.

This very overpaid minister is so full of shit.

PAP has flooded Singapore with millions of foreigners and making Singapore into an overpopulated and very expensive country, making Singaporeans squeeze into smaller homes and suffer very high living costs. PAP has made quality of life worse for ordinary Singaporeans.

And this is what PAP is actually doing to the "Singaporean core", PAP is turning true blue Singaporeans into a minority in their own country.

The grateful gongkia has already told you that it is a "Singapore Core" and not a "Singaporean Core". And since 70% of your fellow Singaporeans voted for this, you have to take it.

I begin to worry about SAF knowing that this guy was their chief. He has not once made a positive impression or said anything to impress. The only courageous thing he did was to stop PAP aunties from talking to the press about the packaged food.

A Singapore core is based on sinkie values of meritocracy and incorruptibility. If all the talented people are the amdks, ah nehs and pinoys, then all the key management positions should go to them.

What rubbish!

The royal family is the most talented of all. They all won top government scholarships on their own merit. Over the years of their leadership, Singapore has gone from strength to strength, showing to all that they really deserved their leadership positions.

That only shows he climbed up the ranks through merit, not simply by impressing people with honeyed lies. To clarify MG Chan, Singapore core refers to the military and admin service. Singapore cannot do without us. Everything else is non-core and dispensable. Do you want to be dispensable? Then you should have studied harder for that government scholarship! Tell your children and their children too.

No no no. Like tau sa pao, no tau sa core, how to call tau sa pao? Of course not all exclusive tau sa, otherwise how to call pao?

With MG Kee Chiu around, the m&ds and indons behaved themselves. He did a great job keeping the moslem hordes in line.
