[h=2]Tony Tan: Singaporeans have to learn to live with foreigners[/h]PAP-endorsed pro-foreigner presidential candidate Tony Tan has implored Singaporeans to learn to live with the 慼ordes?of foreigners that the PAP regime is mass-importing to shore up its flagging support base.
Speaking during a walkabout today, Tony Tan was asked about the 慶urrygate?saga which sparked a massive outcry among Singaporeans following a report by a local paper that a Singaporean Indian family was only allowed to cook curry at home if their PRC neighbors are not at home.
Instead of explaining why the Community Mediation Center (CMC) bothered to entertain the frivolous complaint by the PRC family, Law Minister Shanmugam lashed out at Singaporeans for being 慳nti-foreigner?and 憍enophobic?
Echoing the views of his former comrade in the regime, Tony Tan said the issue showed the importance of how both Singaporeans and foreigners need to adjust to one another.
揑t was resolved but it shows importance of how Singaporeans have to learn to live with non-Singaporeans, but also at the same time non-Singaporeans have to make the effort to assimilate to the Singapore culture,?he added.
In other countries, it is the immigrants who have to integrate into local society, but it is the other way round with the PAP regime splurging $10 milllion dollars of taxpayers?monies to make the newcomers feel happy, accepted and welcomed in Singapore.
As too many foreigners are admitted within too short a period of time, they tend to congregate within their own ethnic enclaves instead of reaching out to Singaporeans.
During his stint as Education Minister, Tony Tan introduced many pro-foreigner education policies disbursing generous scholarships to foreigners to study in Singapore universities at the expense of local students.
When opposition MP Chiam See Tong questioned Tony Tan in 1987 if the Singapore government was too generous to foreign students in subsidising their tuition fees, he replied callously that setting 搕oo high?a fee for foreign students would deter them from studying in Singapore universities.
