I don't think I will grow to like China. The ppl are rude, nosiy and no manners. They can just anyhow grab u and shout at u for something instead of asking u nicely. I really feel like scolding back but I dun tink they can understand what's Fuck Off.

I think we need to emphasise the point that regardless of nationality, we will find both the elites and the poverty strickened. China is an extremely giantic country with vastly unoccupied lands probably rich with natural resources. The richer states in China have surpassed many of those which used to look down on them. Singapore on the other hand is blessed to have dedicated and capable pioneers who are able to raise the entire country from a slum like condition into a country with an excellent economical landscape. Singapore stands out in the region against the other countries as the wealthiest and safest.

I have met native Chinese nationals of different breed. The exceptionally well educated gentlemen from Shanghai of extraordinary intellegence and knowledge who speaks fluent German and acceptable English and those PRC who cannot even converse in simple English over the sales counter. I must admit, those Chinese natives of the upper middle class are indeed different regardless meeting them in Singapore or in Europe where I go for business occasionally. Like Singaporeans, spitting or talking loudly is something they will not feel comfortable with.

We Singaporeans on the other hand even though come from a much superior economical and educational background in the region should not despise the others. Who are we to judge them? The only difference between us Singaporeans and the poorly behaved PRC is that we have an advantageous leverage to start with. And that is thanks to our pioneers. If our pioneers have been corrupted like the previous Philippines president and the Malaysian BN, we will not be here to feel qualified making nasty comments about the weaker group. And with this it make us look like tyrants.

We Singaporeans have excellent living conditions. Superior educational programmes. Wealthy economical landscape. We speak English better than Mandarin due to our educational background and the daily working conditions which should not be a factor to call us 'bananas' or 'oreos'. But there are still Singaporeans who go online to post discriminating remarks against another race of equal status as humans...

Let's get over it. Recognise that there're good and bad sheeps everywhere. When you've yet to meet the good ones, doesn't mean there aren't.

Lastly, I always strongly believe that I never will need to use insults or violence to get my message across.

Dear PRC friends, nevermind about those who speak foul or hurl profanities at you. I strongly believe our society is based on merit. If you truely are capable and able to contribute to better our lives, you're most welcomed to make this place your home. But do not expect to take this place a free loading land. I have seen many PRC who were given ultimatum to leave Singapore when they do not live to our standards. And I will not hesitate to back the authorities decision to jettison our land of trouble-makers.

Thanks.
From A Singaporean.
