I finally feel Singaporean

On May 7, 2011 · 10 Comments · In Laws of our land

I queued up to vote this after­noon, and it was, for the first time in a long, long time, a queue that com­prised only Singaporeans.

I haven’t been this proud to be Sin­ga­porean since we sent four swim­mers to the Los Ange­les Olympiad in 1984. Oh wait, that was when I was proud to be from ACS.

Yup, it’s been a while.

    so true :) .…it’s been awhile for me too.…now I am over anx­iously wait­ing for the results. Feels worse than wait­ing for the O level results back in the 80’s!

    And the ral­lies are not packed with FT like in count down parties..

    appar­ently my Burmese neigh­bor was at the polling sta­tion too. The term Sin­ga­porean is very vague these days.

    Haha, agree.….Anxiously await­ing result…hopefully a water­shed. Fr a fel­low acsian.

    Yes. It’s been ‘vague’ since the local chi­nese and oppo­si­tion kept silent about the gov­ern­ment intend­ing to keep singapore’s racial and cul­tural bal­ance in favour of the chi­nese. But then again, being a self-absorbed xeno­pho­bic twat, that’s prob­a­bly lost on you.

    Hey Miyagi, where’d your ances­tors come from? Gey­lang Serai? Other than the Malays, the rest of us are sim­ply the daugh­ters and sons of ‘old for­eign tal­ent’. Two sets of rules on the basis of whom came first. Ever won­dered how the Malays felt when the Chi­nese grew in pop­u­la­tion, or how they felt when Lee stated that sin­ga­pore must always have a chi­nese major­ity, or when the tudung was banned in schools, or sap schools set up, or dis­crim­i­na­tion became rife in the media and the eco­nomic arena, or, or, or.….…

    Why don’t you get you head out of your xeno­pho­bic, racist, racially biased arse mate.

    Hey @330a46e22781ceb9eb038fb4ee649e0c:disqus stop call­ing me names. I’ll have you know, I was never afraid of Xenos. Not once. Not ever.

    Dude, that was totally uncalled for. In no way his post was even remotely xeno­pho­bic. He was just recall­ing the last time he felt proud being a Singaporean.

    When’s the last you feel proud being a Singaporean?

    Stop trolling and bait­ing for flames, please. Let’s keep it civil.

    Fourty plus and only get to vote twice! Like you it was a spe­cial day, but it was like a bad sex­ual episode where the cli­max never cum.
