Sporeans Welcome Diversity, But What it the Bottom Line?

[makapaaa]

When Sporeans are being marginalized and sold out in their own country by the FAP. And what gives when the FAP keeps justifying monopoly of power despite being supported by only 35% of the citizens and pressurizing the press to publish half-truths? Walk the talk, FAP!

<!--start of story text-->Several factors could threaten the racial and religious harmony in Singapore, but we have to keep working to ensure that the peace here is not jeopardised, said acting minister for the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports, Chan Chun Sing.
He was speaking at a National Inter Racial and Religious Confidence Circle (IRCC) workshop on Saturday morning.
Mr Chan noted that the fast pace of development in the world could lead many to look for an anchor in race or religion as they become more aware of their heritage. At the same time, there will also be more who do not subscribe to any religious beliefs.
An increasingly globalised economy such as Singapore's will also result in intense interaction with different races, religions and culture due to the inflow of foreign workers, new immigrants and even tourists. This, he said, will be a test of our social fabric.

This stall selling man tou (steamed buns) at People's Park Complex is offering what it calls a 'high-paying job', but only if you are a permanent resident or new citizen.

STOMPer Stefanie commented:

"This stall is offering a high-paying job, but why is it only for new citizens and PRs?

"I saw this ad pasted outside a stall selling man tou at People's Park Complex."
