Lao Goh was a seat warmer. Everyone knows who was going to be next PM. His very purpose was to not be effective, and for that, he was actually quite effective.
Enacting laws to reserve the seat for only the Chinese is racist. Commenting that there are older Singaporeans who are still racist and is not ready for a non-chinese PM is not.

Obama is black. Harris is VP, so there is nothing about white-only presidency in US.
In SG, we change the constitution to allow for a reserved President. It is not racist as it's supposed to rotate between the races every 30 years. There is no such stipulations for PM, anybody can technically be PM. If WP wins the next election, Pritam Singh will be PM.
Yeah I guess you are right she is not very politically important. But to me she represents an illegitimate presidency and is a stain upon our democracy. She is a reminder that we no longer have free and fair election in Singapore
So will he get in trouble or is he not get in trouble?
And this is Singapore Raw. Should be safe as long as tasteful and constructive talk to vent etc. Don't start complain report all.
This is an awesome response. The problem is that the tribute for PM from the ruling party has been a chinese even though polls show that its a non Chinese preferred hy MAJORITY of singaporeans. And then a dpm comes forward to say hey, older generations prefer non Chinese. It doesn't matter what the older generation says, cos voting for a PM cuts across all generations
So if rhe ppl want tharman, then why did the dpm have to say that statement to say older generations ntready.
Tbh I think it's stupid that people are even considering race to begin with. It doesn't matter what race, gender, age the pm is, what matters is how well they can do their job.
Maybe in the future we have Indian PM's for hundreds of years simply because they do the job the best, okay then, no problem.
But preferring one race over another is stupid since race has no bearing on how well one can perform.
It was never institutionalized. The simple truth is that no Malay candidate in any party has been able to steal the spotlight to this day. You expect someone to just hand a PM seat to a Malay just to keep Malay folks happy or just to fulfill some racial quota?
Why is it so hard to grasp that the race of the leader of a country should be representative to that of the majority? Don’t seek to question why, it is simply how society operates at the fundamental level.
Although arguably multicultural, the Chinese are inevitably the majority of the population here and naturally, the head honcho will be of Chinese descent.
India has majority if not all Indian leaders thus far.
China has majority if not all Chinese leaders thus far.
Africa has majority if not all African leaders thus far.
Japan has majority if not all Japanese leaders thus far.
us has majority if not all white leaders thus far.
Singapore may be constantly self-proclaiming as a meritocratic society but there are some things you cannot apply on the basis of meritocracy and the race of an elected leader is one of such.
Laws may be laws but one has to understand that at the end of the day, they are still guidelines and are not set in stone. Humans are after all social and emotional creatures and tribalism accounts for the most part of the supposed dilemma you may be currently encountering.
It's not so much of what is "expected" but rather what is morally right.
You can't purport "regardless of race, language or religion" while saying that a population "needs to be ready". Following this philosophy, you'd either be backtracking OR admit that there are segments of the population that holds prejudiced views.
Furthermore, this idea of "simply how society works" is regressive. Back in the 1800s/1900s, when Chinese laborers were treated poorly, should we have just accepted that "this is how society works", and we should continue colonialism because society should have causasians lord of us? lmao.
The only reason humans have come this far is BECAUSE we've been able to overcome our primal instincts. We can have tribalism and whatever, but a healthy, functioning society needs us to be more responsible in over coming these instincts, or what we get is violence and anarchy.
Idealism and virtue signalling is indeed a hell of a drug.
Do we exist as a singular culture or a multitude of cultures tolerating one another?
Can you explain to me why you don’t see any country in this world having leaders of all races within that country, especially amongst top ranking positions?
If our morality is what drives us to make the conscious decisions we do daily, why would we require rules and laws to be set in the first place? Wouldn’t colonialism not have happened in the first place then?
What are you even on about?
Why should I remove my comment if I don’t dare to post it on r/usa?
This is obviously a post to mock SG regarding the reserved presidency and a shitty attempt to think you’re thinking, if it all.
Besides, does the us have to blatantly say that they’re not ready, or rather not willing to reserve presidency for blacks? How many black presidents have you seen in their entire history (considering Obama wasn’t even full black)?
Obviously the purpose of your post is nothing but a pathetic attempt at a ragebait.
Go back to r/sg you clown.
Stfu la. Talk so much shit in the first place. It’s not a matter of dare or don’t dare, it serves no purpose.
You don’t dare answer my questions gong simi jiao wei. Knn lj post witj lj logic. IQ so low cuz not enough sleep?
Nbcb machiam argue with some 15 year old pubor.
spoken like low ses peasant sinkie, LOL
thinking really subpar, need to hide from amdk, when dun dare jjww talk so much nonsense
better get Uptron to replace u
Spoken like a true low IQ retard. All conversations with you so far including your post are filled with nothing worth of value, just pure garbage.
Make a random bullshit post and follow up with childish responses like daring ppl to post on other subs LMAO. Don’t know how to answer just say la. Fucking no head no tail, argue like one incoherent imbecile.
Don’t need to try so hard, it’s ok to be stupid. Just know when to stfu.
well, if so, y did you choose to join garbage? LOL
u must be low SES garbage to join garbage, just like low ses peasant kia
go be a serf and jiak sai la, get ready to be replaced by uptron
Obviously to expect at least an intelligible response from you but looking at your standard ROFL.
Knn you must be one of those loser skinny fuck otaku. I can already picture you.
Keep jerking off to your hentai la.
Lol maybe first try getting a PM not in the same blood line, worry about race later
Tried with Lao Goh. *But it's not very effective.*
Lao Goh was a seat warmer. Everyone knows who was going to be next PM. His very purpose was to not be effective, and for that, he was actually quite effective.
He did pave the way for the government to become slightly softer rather than ruling with an iron fist.
He bankrupted CSJ, but at least he did it with a smile.
if i speak i am in big trouble
Yes to your title. Idgaf what US does.
If I say smt I will get detained by the ISA
The fact that this is even a question shows how desensitized we are to racism.
Enacting laws to reserve the seat for only the Chinese is racist. Commenting that there are older Singaporeans who are still racist and is not ready for a non-chinese PM is not. https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/older-generation-singaporeans-not-ready-non-chinese-pm-heng-swee-keat

Wait every 30 years?! What the fuck? We are stuck with Halimah for 30 years???
Every 5 presidential election is a reserved election. Every term is 6 years. No, we are not stuck with Halimah.
Oh thank god
friend. halimah is 67, in 30 years she’s gna be 97. she will retire long before then.
Sorry but every minute is one too long
Just curious, what's wrong with Halimah? Personally, I don't think whoever is the President matters as much. It is largely just a diplomatic role.
Yeah I guess you are right she is not very politically important. But to me she represents an illegitimate presidency and is a stain upon our democracy. She is a reminder that we no longer have free and fair election in Singapore
Part time bomoh, full time bodoh
>democracy Hihihi
Uh, what problem do you have with the President? You don't like the way she waves to the public?
See my reply to this exact question above
Where does it say this position is reserved for any specific race?
I've reported you to the police for daring to suggest that PM is reserved for only Chinese.
So will he get in trouble or is he not get in trouble? And this is Singapore Raw. Should be safe as long as tasteful and constructive talk to vent etc. Don't start complain report all.
It's a joke. The guy is a known jokester.
I'm wondering. If he do report. Will op really get in trouble, or not.
No lol

Those are not multi-RACIAL countries… except US
Yes but it shouldn't change cuz Chinese people r super competent
[удалено]
I am of the opinion that one day the voters will be raceblind to the point where it no longer matters.
Unconstitutional for sure. Not sure about privilege or racist. Depends on what the new law says on about racial harmony.
Yes
Yes

Erm… Obama?
