The one talent they sure have is labelling.
Recollection of the terms used by PAP to silence critics since the beginning of times:
1) Communists
2) Racists
3) Terrorists
4) Xenophobe

Yes, those Malaysians got the best among all the FTs in Singapore and are now "masked" by this xenophobia against Pinoys and PRCs.
Back in the 70s and 80s the Malaysians FTs got virtually all the management positions in all strata of employment in private and public sectors.

Haha, labels are convenient. first they will call you a xenophobe, then they will arrest you for incendiary comments posted on the net for stoking rascism, then they will try exterminating fascist elements

It has started

Concerne citizen Albert ask government to rein in netizens


The Straits Times

Rein in offensive, insensitive one-eyed dragons online



I THANK Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong for raising the perception issue in Sunday's National Day Rally speech ("Double standards towards foreigners worry PM"; Monday).


The behaviour of some netizens not only reflect poorly on Singaporeans, their postings are also extremely offensive. Netizens have been getting away - and going overboard - with their anti-new immigrant postings with impunity; particularly in attacks against mainland Chinese.


It appears that there exist some instigators whose sole intention is to agitate the young and discredit a rational immigration policy. I hope the authorities can act and rein in such a worrying trend which stands in the way of progress and prosperity. In fact, I wonder why the authorities are so tolerant especially in view of their immediate crackdown on scurrilous remarks that threaten social harmony.


Singapore has come a long way and the path travelled was not easy. Its achievements must be protected and not ruined by one-eyed dragons online.

I mentioned previously that this is all part of the PAPzis propaganda to support their social engineering of Singapore society. FTs as well as Singaporeans have been bashing each other but so far only Singaporeans have been charged by the police. Singaporeans are being social engineered to accept FTs even though there is no economic nor social requirement for such large numbers that will help the country as a whole. The only people who gain from the huge influx are big businesses who increase profits by lowering wages and rent-seekers who include the government and their minions.

This social engineering started about twenty years ago when many of Singapore's landmarks were demolished because they were physically in the way of modernisation. This even after the fact that many of these landmarks could still be standing if modernisation built itself around these landmarks. Singapore's identity was slowly being removed, brick by brick, floor by floor by the fascist PAPzis.

The PAPzis have been known to call Singaporeans daft, lazy, complainers, dogs, having poor stock etc by PAPzi ministers themselves. The invasion of Singapore in the 21st century is reaching a crescendo. The PAPzis will continue with this influx of FTs until their goal of at least 6.5 is reached in the next 10 years.

Want to know Xenophobia?

When Machurians ruled China, they made all Hans believe that Foreigners were "red haired devils".. and all things foreign were BAD!
When Japan still had shops with signs that read "No foreigners welcomed"

Has SG come to that? If yes.. I don't see it.. ppl are pointing to FACTS.. foreigners wif cash to buy HDB WILL push up the resale value.. it's a fact!
Foreigners who come here and take up jobs here are in fact taking up jobs that a SG could do.. it's a FACT!

So what's xenophobia got to do with it?
