[h=1]PHILIPPINE'S MEDIA LAUD PM LEE FOR CALLING HIS OWN CITIZENS "A DISGRACE"[/h]

The Manilla Bulletin lauded Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong for defending the Filipinos' right to celebrate their independence day in Singapore. Here is the article in full:

Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong denounced the acrimonious comments made by some Singaporeans online to protest the planned Philippine Independence Day celebration in the Lion City next month.
Calling the remarks made over The Real Singapore, an online platform for Singaporean’s uncensored opinions, as “a disgrace to Singapore” Lee called on Singaporeans to treat Filipinos in Singapore “the way we ourselves expect to be treated overseas.”

In a statement posted Friday on his official Facebook account, Lee continued by saying “Many Singaporeans live overseas, and are warmly welcomed in their adopted homes.” Lee signed his personal post with his initials “LHL”.
“I was appalled to read about those who harassed the organizers of the Philippine Independence Day celebrations, and spammed their Facebook page. They are a disgrace to Singapore,” Lee added.

The brouhaha online stemmed from an earlier plan of the Pilipino Independence Day Council Singapore (PIDCS) to hold a Philippine Independence Day event on June 8 in Orchard Road, a shopping district frequented by the Filipino community in Singapore.

Those who protested generally maintain that the Philippine independence event is unacceptable as it undermines the “significance of Singapore’s own independence as a sovereign state by insinuating that Singapore and the Philippines are both under inter-dependent national system”, as one recent post stated. The protesters say while they respect Filipinos’ need to celebrate an important national event, it would be proper for them to hold it inside the compound of the Philippine Embassy in Singapore.

PIDCS’ Facebook page was also in the receiving end of scathing comments, prompting it to delete its post on the controversial event and also change the looks and words of its event poster. Singapore Strait Times reported that PIDCS office also received anonymous phone calls demanding for the cancellation of the Philippine event.

Disturbed by the biting reactions from anonymous Singaporeans, Lee appealed for them to show that Singaporeans “are generous of spirit and welcome visitors into our midst, even as we manage the foreign population here. Otherwise we will lower our standing in the eyes of the world, and have every reason to be ashamed of ourselves.”

PIDCS has not issued any statement whether it will continue or cancel the event. (Ron B. Lopez)

Please do not tempt someone to accelerate the minting of new citizens.

The "minting" of new citizens have gone into overtime and weekend shifts ages ago.
in the 90s, they targeted the hongkies but few decided to make singapore their home opting instead on Canada and Australia.
Later they started selected immigrants from indo, china, india but still did not give them the numbers they need.
The last couple of years, the floodgates are open to any Ah neh, Ah Tiong, ban mui who happens to look at singapore.
They have cheapen singapore to the same level as a $10 bapok in johore road.

he will need to lock himself in. otherwise everyday also kena kidnap. and they will ask for emperor ransom. under 1 year he will turn bankrupt.

 

[tanwahtiu]

as his old man is dying and unable to mentor him he is left alone to lead.

Now he showed his color which is has no leadership quality.

This is the first case of a leader of a country brought down by Facebook. Writing comments on facebook is emotional and unprecedented may backfired. Stay away from Faebook, evil Zuck US invention.


Amy Cheong and Anton Casey went down and this man is going down soon.

2016 will be a very interesting year..............

This remark brightened a good start of the day.

Pinky should walk the talk and attend the event.

His standing in the international arena would surely raise a notch higher when he sing with the pinoys their Philippines national anthem, Lupang Hinirang (Tagalog, “Chosen Land”), under the Philippines flag.

[The_Hypocrite]

This is one of the reasons y Pinky must go...unfortunately the 60% agrees with him.

 

[bakkuttay]

Pinky is true epitome of disgrace.

For too long, people have said that Singaporeans have lost their identity. With this issue, I see true blue Singaporeans standing up for Singapore. It's not xenophobic, it's patriotism! Fucking idiot PM don't even understand this.

 

[bushtucker]

even our own PM sold himself out to pinoys. traitor!

 

[laksaboy]

since he likes pinoys so much, why wont he migrate to the phillipines.

He will be murdered by the Pinoys if he tries to treat them as he had treated Sinkies.

 

[laksaboy]

even our own PM sold himself out to pinoys. traitor!

I can tell you for sure that many of these 'pirated' Sinkies are just as fed up with the PAP govt. Punggol East SMC was a good example.

If you think they'll show gratitude for a shiny new pink IC by voting for the Lightning Clan, you are just plain daft.

I like the way you coined 'pirated Sinkies', sounds great.

The "apple" was rotten to the core, eaten away by the 'worms" ( members & FT's), now fall from the tree & carried to "Victory" by the "worms, who sing Lupang Hiniran....& now they are eating Tinalong Manok without the hum....hummm hummm hummm

I could only say: Those who are still living in Sinkie Land, good luck to you. Your government has been betraying you since eons ago.
