As a result, they are also the highest average income earners among the major races. This is not because they are more capable or talented. Its precisely because they have Indian like Janil Puthucheary who is using his position in government to improve the employment opportunities for his fellow Indians. This has been carried out to the extend that Indians in Singapore now expect to get whatever high-paying jobs they apply for. This is not just for local Indians. Even Indians arriving from India expect to be employed easily over non-Indians in Singapore. Otherwise, they will attribute their failures to racial discrimination and complain to the government accordingly.

Cultural and religious differences have to be considered. Chinese would avoid Indian tenants because they stink. This is a physical fact, not racism. Indian landlords would avoid Chinese and Malays tenant because of cultural and religious differences. Malays would avoid Chinese and Indian tenants because the latter would be non-Muslims and also pork eaters. Let’s not talk about living under the some roof. Even when they are neighbors, there are disputes.
> > > > > > >
> > > > > > > Janil Puthucheary is cherry-picking. There are areas where the non-Chinese, especially Indians, are enjoying unfair advantages and privileges which he does not mention. Take the case of changes in the ethnic proportions in the population. For decades now, the proportion of Indians in Singapore’s population is increasing at the expense of the Chinese. This is against racial equality and therefore, also unconstitutional. It is bloodless ethnic cleansing of the Chinese. As the Indian proportion in Singapore’s population increases, so too attacks of Chinese by Indians.. These are borne out by videos. Indians in Singapore become more anti-Chinese as they gain more political power. The Indian MP Shanmugam, who is also the Minister of Home Affairs, is against increasing the teaching hours of Mandarin in schools. Ex-President S. R. Nathan could not tolerate Mandarin being spoken in his presence. Things are going to get worse for the Chinese as more Indians continue to pour in to Singapore as India’s population growth remains out of control.
> > > > > > >
> > > > > > > This is most unfair to the Chinese. While Chinese are increasingly becoming victims of racism, we have an Indian MP repeatedly using videos to portray Chinese as perpetrators of racism. This is working against racial harmony. Imagine if Chinese and Malays MPs would make videos to champion the causes and look after the interests of their own race. Will multi-racialism still work in Singapore?

Yet these Indians carry a superiority complex with them wherever they go. They arrive in those countries expecting to be more successful than the locals there. If they fail to get in to the professions of their choice, they believe it must be because of racism against them.

Then they would complain about racism when they don’t get the jobs the want. Its been effective. As a result, in some workplaces, e.g. some medical schools and Changi Business Park, its almost exclusively Indians. The Indian CEO of Singapore’s largest bank, DBS, proudly stated that he opened a branch in India purely out of racial affinity. Looking at the growing Indian presence in Singapore, an international Indian author, Parag Khanna, cannot help but remarks that Singapore is turning brown. He goes on to boldly claim that the future of the world will be brown.

During British colonial times and earlier part of its Independence, Singapore depended on Britain and was under British influence. After the British East of Suez withdrawal, Singapore leapfrogged the region to link up with the West, especially the US. Singapore is currently dependent on the US and as a result, is under heavy American influence. But this will not be eternal. It will change as surely as it has changed from British to American influence.
> >
> > A rising China is increasing its influence on more parts of the world. Is Singapore being influenced by a rising China a problem? The achievements of China have received worldwide recognition. Increasing parts of the world are relying more on China and therefore coming under its influence . Its meritocracy at work. China has helped to connect up the world, develop it and grow its economy. China has earned the merits to influence other nations.. Same reason why Singapore has been heavily influenced by the the US. This cuts across Singapore’s major races, esp. among the Chinese and the Indians. Not so much the Malays. Religion is the factor. Malays, being Muslims, don’t like the Christian West.

This is meritocracy. It will be good for Singapore. It should be accepted by all Singaporeans, “regardless of race, language or religion”. Those racial minorities of Singapore which refuse to accept the influence of a rising China are only being racists. They can stand aside but should not be allowed to stand in the way of Singapore’s progress to a better future.

Shouldn’t these be of concern too?

> > Looking into the future, Singapore should be more concerned about the influence of a rising India on the Indians in Singapore. Under current geopolitics, India has become the US’s favorite nation to counter a rising China. The two are in all sorts of alliances and dalliances. It will not be just American but Indo-American power which will influence the Asia-Pacific region. Already, this is now being referred to as Indo-Pacific. US would prefer Singapore to get closer to India, to come under India’s influence. It would like to see India’s influence on Singapore grow and glow. Needless to say, this will raise India’s influence on the Indians in Singapore. This should be more worrisome for Singapore because it will not be based on meritocracy but geopolitics.

According to the above ST article, Chinese based in Singapore's prestigious institutions are trying to recruit journalists in India to write for them. Strait away those Indians smell something fishy. Due to the areas of work and the posts they hold, they believe those Chinese want to use them to spy for China.

This is Indian bullshit. If that's the intention of those Chinese, would they be so dumb as to use Chinese name and blow their cover straight away? An Indian name would provide the best cover. Why are Indian names not used? Because it's Indians from Singapore who have written to those India's journalists with the intentions to make those Indians believe that the Chinese are trying to use them to no good. Then it becomes a big issue: Chinese based in Singapore are covertly trying to recruit India's Indians to spy on India! It's typical cunning Indian racism.

Indians in Singapore have this cunning way to disparage Chinese. Using a Chinese pseudonym they would write to social media like this: Even though I am Chinese, I must admit that we Chinese are (followed by something disparaging about Chinese) . Now they are using the same cunning trick to disparage China.
The truth is this. Indians in Singapore are being used to work for the interest of India. Whenever there are border conflicts between India and China, journalists of Indian ethnicity in Singapore would write articles in support of India. Indians in the Institute of South-Asian Studies of Singapore would write academic articles in favor of India but against China.
