I remember when Chao and PapSmearer first came into this forum, my first impression was how these guys were raised. Use of expletives, machine gun approach, shoot from the hip, take no prisoners attitude etc. The only thing that held me back was that beyond all that debris and with the smoke clearing, the arguments were solid, mostly supported by good facts and like the best of us, some are flawed.

So how does the above got to do with our flag being carried by a PRC chic who got instant citizenship predicated on a good contract covering personal financials rewards.

Then there is the rest of Singapore - generally compliant, wholly cautious, need directions and raised on a generational belief that any awkward or sudden movement will lead to riots. We were told that its a small island, a fragile economy and therefore, it could not handle any jolts, displacement or even minor tremors. Laws were built around it.

Isn't it a bit too late to now talk about the PRC flagbearer now.

By the way, no fault at the feet of those born from 1980s onwards. So how did we get it terribly wrong?
If you watched the HongKong TVB & ATV combined Live telecast of the Opening Ceremony, there are some interesting remarks made by the commentators about the Singapore team, regarding the use of PRC Chinese to win medals.

Also, Why is Pinky talking about the 1964 race riots now, who is responsible for the ill conceived plans to mass import talents?

Human behaviour experts know that homo sapiens make a heck of a big fuss over "strangers who break social laws to take advantage of the locals and end up level or even better, than the locals". The experiments have been conducted over and over again in both research labs and in 99% parks around the world. (but not the 1964 riots ........... A Malaysian Malaysia - Chinese Singaporeans equal to Malays)
