End of the Singapore national identity?

If u are looking for rojak you will find it. If you are looking for the identity, sorry, does not exist any more.

rojak is far better than swill they are dumping.

I am a new immigrant who wishes to integrate here. Although English is not my first lanauge that I am not quite sure of your slagons, I would like to share my opinion here:
I was born into different culture from Singapore's, and I could feel, compare and appreciate your high civilisation in terms of government efficiency, gracious social order and Singaporean's spirit of perservance.
I think the native citizens should go out to see how other countries are like, and how the people are living, then you will cherish what you have.
Population issue is becoming hot, because it is the world trend, culture shock is unavoidable for any globalised countries, even Japan, as a genuine ethnic nation is considering opening up for immigration.
Singapore has its own culture, so far as I know from your history book and relevant biographies, which should make us proud, regardless of short or long. For example, bilingual language education is a reputable mark, and benefit all our generations.

Love can sometimes be blind.
Generally, it looks so fine on the surface. I am sure you are not aware about the report by UN on Singapore. History book? Oh O, history can be manipulated, you know!
It is good for you to mix around with people from all levels in Singapore to know the reality of life here. Talk and reading from text are not sufficient.
If you do not understand what is "rojak" in my post I suppose you are out of touch with the reality and way of life in Singapore.

Oh it works both ways doesn't it?
If you claim that he/she should mix around with the people here, then you should do some travelling yourself to understand what he/she is talking about too.

The brain up there needs to be functioning to face the reality. If your first world ministers are getting the highest pay in the world, what we get here should also be first world. We are aware there are worse off countries but it is inappropriate and unfair to compare these countries to the first world country having first world ministers governing the tiny dot called Singapore./ These worse off countries do not pay their ministers the highest pay in the world. OPen your eyes and mind, don't just point fingers conveniently! How much you know the suffering of those in Singapore who are struggling to make ends meet to cope with the rising costs of living?
Are you turning this swill for the pigs????

condoning turning pot into swill for the pigs.

Yes.
The brat still reckons you should follow through that suggestion and open your extremely narrow perspective.
But its ok.
Being an armchair critic, resorting to personal attack is way easier of course.

Well, you don't know me enough to conclude i am armchair critic like you. You are an armchair critic and naturally you condemn and reckon others are like you. O, you are talking about yourself having open your eyes extremely narrow perspective.
Perhaps, you should hit rock bottom to learn life's lessons.
Being an armchair critic resorting to personal attack without the real concern for the reality is the easiest for you.
You dare not answer the question on How much you know the suffering of those in Singapore who are struggling to make ends meet to cope with the rising costs of living? Living in ivory tower is always comfortable not till you meet some serious problems that cannot be solved easily in life. -
I never once said that SGreans have no reason to not worry about many things.
All I said was that you should take other problems of others into perspective also.
Ah.
But of course I see that the perspective is too narrow to see what I just said anyway.
I invite you to go with NGOs to view the world.
Would you do it?
Of course not.....

So, you still evade from answering my question. hahahahaha ....... It is all there in your post to tell us you are not even concern about the immediate problems in our country. I don't need you to invite ..... I have no interest to satisfy your ego for someone who isn't concern at all about basic problems in his own homeland. Give you back your own statement All I said was that you should take other problems of others into perspective also
