People of the same kind is considered "elitism"?

So if a club only takes in people of certain status is considered "elitist" club? If like that there are so many organisation/poltical party is also like this leh.

Wiki's definition of the word "Elitism" is the belief or attitude that some individuals, who form an elite—a select group of people with a certain ancestry, intrinsic quality or worth, higher intellect, wealth, specialized training or experience, or other distinctive attributes—are those whose influence or authority is greater than that of others; whose views on a matter are to be taken the most seriously or carry the most weight; whose views or actions are most likely to be constructive to society as a whole; or whose extraordinary skills, abilities, or wisdom render them especially fit to govern.
 
Mastermind of the group is the spirit and soul.

Usually in business; investment and social gathering.

No. You pay salary; your staffs is obligated to work.

The group must be voluntary in nature.
The group must be form with people with same goal. Usually it voice down to making money or having fun.
 
Once this group is form; new members will find it difficult to join.

The group will protect the group self interest only. Nothing else.

Member whom lost their integrity or status in society can be drop out with a flash.

This group only accept success; failure is never allow.

It is great for solving differences of businessmen doing similar business. (e.g. Watch Association of Singapore ; Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce.)

My Grandfather belong to Char Yong Dabu association; mainly Chinese from FuJian Dapu province. This type of association is strong in the 80s; but the power have be weaken due to policy in Singapore to avoid power centralisation to such group.
 
So it is like what is happening in our local Indian temple?

I heard that those north indian are taking over leadership position and our south indian friends are slowing being kicked out of the committee.

It has become so bad that some south indians dun feel like going to the temple.

This one consider?

Usually got nothing to do with religion.

Power to control a temple is different from power to control a trade; triad; society.

If like that then PAP is not elitist group. Many of the Ministers and MPs are failure but still allowed to stay leh. Hahahahaha!

I see some elitist groups here:

Choncb Phuacb Laucb Cranecb > one elitist group

WithoutYou Escher Suboti > one elitist group

Laksaboy, Narong, TFBH > one elitist group

Scrooball, Jw5 > one elitist group

and of course there are many others who are elitist but keep a very low profile
 
Politician is more power crave. They need the number of seats to hold majority. It can be dumb person too; just look at the European Union. They all look like the stooges ; except Nigel Farage from UK.

Elitist group usually about money.

This more like Khakis. Like beer Khakis; Badminton Khakis.

Isn't it an irony that the very people who are guilty of this is asking all others to be aware and take needed measures?
