落地生根 vs 落叶归根

by admin August 27, 2022 2 Comments

要新加坡的大陆移民落地生根简直是天方夜谭。土生土长的本地华人没被中共大外宣忽悠/笼络,我们就偷着乐了。冠病疫苗刚推出,大家都迫不及待的要接种。有一堆人(也包括土生土长新加坡人)却一拖再拖,等他们最信赖的“国产疫苗”面市。中国疫苗一面市,他们狼狈到甘心露宿街头漏液排队去接种。我所认识的中国朋友当中,几乎每一个都队“国产疫苗”有100%的信心。 即使后来独立研究数据证明中国疫苗功效欠佳,这堆人(也包括本地的共粉)的“爱国情怀”完全没被动摇,盲目的坚信是西方在炒作,说是境外势力因妒忌中国的强大而抹黑中国,还说我们不力捧中国疫苗就等于是捡到芝麻丢了西瓜。 我国大陆移民家里的电视,有哪一个不是锁定CCTV, 新闻联播的? 就连不懂中文的国人也被CGTN, People’s Daily 给彻底洗脑。我以前常去的那间理发店,几乎每一位理发师都相信病毒是美国因妒忌中国才蓄意投毒的。他们还相信 Pfizer, Moderna 都是西方国家用来控制中国人的。 抖音/微博被疯传的视频和文章,他们都深信不疑。我受不了他们的愚昧,换到一间马来人开的理发店。总理现在才来呼吁大家不要轻信中共大外宣?太迟了。 要建立新加坡独有,中国移民接受的中华文化不是靠几个取自方言/马来语的词汇就能搞起来的。记得当年咱们的吴总理在国庆群众大会上猛批 Phua Chu Kang 的 Singlish. 电视剧搞到要重写剧本。但是令人匪夷所思的是,现在的李总理竟然在同一个场合鼓励我们搞 Singdrin。吸引这些外来人才(人财)的目的不是要提高国人的素质和水平吗?其实,很多大陆来的移民文化水平都偏高,他们那么有才,有创作过新谣吗?有拍过有国际水准的本地电影吗?总理似乎不在乎国人的中文水平偏低,反而沦落到要推广 Singdrin 来激发外来移民的民族意识。这不是可悲又可笑吗?怎么不干脆把本地方言给“合法化”呢? 现实离咱们总理想象的太遥远了。新加坡籍得奖作家六六不但没什么本地作品,还充当中共大外宣. 咱们总理不会天真的指望这堆人会效忠新加坡吧。还有那个李连杰,他敢对大陆媒体说他不是中国人了吗?要不来个“在新加坡我是新加坡人,在中国我是中国人”,那咱们总理就真的被重重的打脸了。 © Chan Joon Yee New Book!

Graceful Meat

Chicken expensive eat fish; cannot find chicken eat eggs. That’s where our reputation as a nanny state lies. Our political leaders and their stooges in the civil service and academia think we’re kindergarten graduates. © Chan Joon Yee New Book! Making Sense of the Three Kingdomns

Uncle Roger Has a Softer Side

by admin June 17, 2022 No Comments

I never liked this character. I knew the day would come and it has. Comedian Nigel Ng, aka Uncle Roger, thinks Singapore food is a ‘less good’ version of Malaysian fare. He has no doubts that Malaysia has better food than Singapore. He goes on to describe our bak kut teh with the most unflattering […]

Communism Better Than Democracy?

by admin March 30, 2022 No Comments

We are more than a month into the war between Russia and Ukraine. It’s not a pretty scene when Russian forces start shelling and shooting indiscriminately in an attempt to break the stalemate. Millions have lost their homes and fled the country. Refugees keep pouring into neighbouring countries. An untold number of Russians and Ukrainians […]
