She thinks that Singapore is not good enough for her? Then stay here for what?!

By splitting up the cases into three mutually exclusive categories and labeling one such category as "the community", is the Ministry not advancing the implicit view that the other categories -- work permit holders, ie. our foreign workers -- are not considered as part of our community?

A report on the government mouthpiece paper, The Straits Times, said that some Chinese nationals who are living in Singapore are buying masks to bring or send back to their hometowns in China, as apparently, there are shortages arising from the Wuhan virus there. The report, which came out about a week ago, seem more apt now that Singapore is facing 4 new cases where the virus was locally transmitted.

Most believe that the decision by landlords to evict tenants and why the government has issued warning against doing such things was because as Minister Josephine Teo said, there were still 30,000 PRCs work pass holders based in Singapore that has not returned back to Singapore ever since the virus broke out. So, any move to evict these high numbers would represent a huge problem of homelessness that the Government would not want to face.

Man caught on video scolding PRC coffeeshop worker for being low class. It was unsure what triggered him but he left after letting his steam off. There was no physical fight nor did the worker retaliate. Why so fierce? Does he think he is very high class such that he can anyhow scold people?

Following a shocking string of sex abuse cases in China, public attention has turned against unhealthy attitudes and sexualization of women in China.

A local undergraduate complained about not being able to understand what PRC professors are teaching. As a result, the netizen felt ripped off for paying so much tuition fees and yet failing to understand lectures.

PRC Chinese firms are squeezing out local developers by infusing huge amounts of funds into an already overheated market, which in turn eats into the pockets of everyday Singaporeans who are now barely able to afford a home.

A netizen has shared a frightening experience where she and her family encountered unknown PRC men who appear to be stalking and taking photos of their HDB unit for suspicious purposes.

Having interacted with many Chinese nationals during work and sometimes socially, I am astonished whenever I hear the proclamation of Singapore owing loyalty to China, or that we would do well to be part of their family. I wish I was joking here, but when my cousin's in-laws(she married a Chinese national) came to Singapore, they literally spoke of our country as if it was a part of China. There's no argument, no discussion, no questioning. We simply are a part of China, just as water is wet and fire is hot. What is their government teaching them?
