    • Dear Fellow Singaporeans,

      This is your future Prime Minister addressing you. Singapore is a highly stratified society. We have been divided by race, language, religion, wealth, health, educational levels and Income. We are lucky that we are safe so far due to the tight balancing act we have in our society. However, being always in a tight rope put us constantly in a risky business.

      I noticed a few posting with regards to racial divide in Schools as well as the lessening of racial interaction among our breed. Furthermore with more influx of Non-original Singaporean Chinese and Indians, we have further polarised our society. Not to mention that our current crazy PAP government is increasing our population via emigration policies - targetiong at 8 million people in Singapore by 2008.

      Therefore it is with urgency that we cannot continue to see ourselves as Chinese, Indian or Malay. It is impossible. We are no longer the same as them. We are now Singaporeans.

      The recent government action to reduce the intensity to learn Mandarin and Chinese seems to be in the right direction.

      In order to ensure that our society could see our fellow citizens not in skin colur, race, religion or language, we have to remove the consciousness of our racial divide and identity.

      I urged the authorities to remove race as a necessity in any official forms or identification. There will be no description of race in our IC or birth certificates.

      When I become your PM, I will make it illegal to even mention race as a description. There will be no other race than being Singaporean. By then we will have a substantial biological Singaporean with genes from the Far East, the Atlantic and Southeast Asian, hopefully with some European blood.

      The removal of our racial consciousness is the only way we become fully Singaporean. We have to do so now. The only people who can continue to identify themselves in their racial terms are non-citizens ie foreigners or new citizens. We can then teach them to how to remove that description about themselves when they want to become a Singaporean.

      So from today- please support this petition to get our government to remove race from our IC, birth certificate, any records and any forms.

      Support the new breed: "Singaporean"

      Cheers!

      Have a good weekend

      Your Future Prime Minister

      Relevation,
      Currently unhappily being identified as Chinese
      with no relationship with China other than through my grand parents.

    • Better remove any symbol, words, description or anything that can remind or reinforce than having it dangling there.

      Words and description is the begining of all dispute.

      If the human mind is that strong, the Jews and Muslims would not have died fighting over a religious city- Jeluselum. Arafat would have agreed not to have part of Jeluselum to ensure peace.

      The truth is our mind is weak.

    • What can’t Arafat have part of Jerusalem ? The muslims are entitled to have itas much as the jews. And it is spelt Jerusalem btw not Jeluselum.

    • A Muslim of a different race once refused to shake my hand.........

      I am not a Jew
      I am not a US war-monger
      I am not a Muslim Apostate

      But as far as they are concerned, I am DIFFERENT......to be treated like a Jew, an enemy of their race and religion...........

    • Arrow This race and religion thing has its roots dating back to a few thousand years.

      Yeah we could remove it. But it might take another few thousand years to take effect.

      But at least we can start now.

      you trace back to a root, now....u can't change the root as it is no longer there. just like you parents gave birth to you, u can change your family name, your given name and even your sex but u are still their son/daughter under the law and under the eyes of nature....no matter wat. there are some things dat can never be changed.... and race and family ties is one.

    • You want this to happen to your army:

      BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An Iraqi military commander has deserted U.S. forces hours after he received a full briefing on U.S. military plans to storm the rebel-held city of Falluja, CNN reported on Saturday.

      How can US trust Muslim to fight Muslims ?? stupid USA, and stupid those who think likewise.......

    • I do not want a retard as our future Prime Minister. Thank you so much. But nobody will vote for you. Please do not waste time. I think Hougang has a special institution that caters to people like you. Go make an appointment. Be good. Remember to take your medicine.

    • Because Muslims place their religion first before everything........

      You are friendly dog who believes that all dogs are friendly.......no, they are not... there are friendly dogs like Labradors, but some dogs are Alsations, pit bulls, Rotweillers........they are bite.......their genes are different.

      So humans are different...... different genetic makeup.......different way of looking at things.......... In Jakarta a few years ago....Chinese girls were targetted for mass-rape by their pri-bumi fellow citizens......the police and army did not save the chinese girls........different race, you see.....they think differently..

    • The Chinese come from China

      The Indians come from India

      The Malays were originally here. When I use the term Malay, I mean the Malay Archipelago. People from there are the basic form of Malay.

      Me? I'm rojak. Neither of the three. Not even Eurasian.

      We should all appreciate our culture. The government knows that most people are not happy with Singapore. For other people to recognise us as "Singaporeans" would be a disgrace to them. I'm proud of my race and culture and I don't want to lose it. I'm don't have the same culture as everyone else.

      C'mon people we all have long histories right? The Chinese, the Indians, the ma...wait...fine...not all of us. Learning our differences is fun, isn't it?

      Furthermore, I bet there are many different dialects. Not all Indians are Tamils. There are Hindis, Telugus, etc etc.

      We can always be one even with our racial differences! That's even one of the features of Singapore that they'd like to keep. To show off that we can live harmoniously even amongst ourselves.

      But I think that's a lie. You can see that people here are blaming religions for what Arrow one person did. So does this mean that everyone believing in it should be exterminated? Is it right for the teacher to punish the whole class when only one person committed a crime?
