The Show With PJ Thum - Ep 1 - The Elected Presidency and the Political Economy of Race in Singapore 

Yes she

What? You really don't know how the censorship works do you. They'll invent a fakeness/other pretext and keep insisting on it and daring you to prove the authoritative sources wrong. Much like how the US and OPCW insists Assad bombed that hospital because he was sad Trump wanted to leave (proven wrong by the site of that crucified aussie patron saint of journalism in UK prison right now - heck literally the only non-hoax war entry by the US in its history is WW 1/2 and the Civil War and even the latter was a deliberate game of insult chicken by Lincoln).

Agreed. Singaporeans taken for a ride round the island.

Wait till we watch all his 7 episodes of PJ Thum talk show, an eye opener really. Truly an amazing man.

Many such similar statements are compliments of an act. But Singaporeans need to get out of the armchair behaviour and cease a spectator mentality and offer constructive tangible support for valour by the courageous men U afraid to differ in their views with the establishment. Surely more coherent unified voices echoing likeminded convictions is a show of strength desiring to be heard and for a change. Stand Up For a Singapore where each individual is respected for their rights.

Enlightening. Politicians have used racial lines to divide and rule just as what the British did? High time to change this mentality and head towards nation building.

It depend who PAP select as President.

Yeah, I had a lot of hope that we would :) - PJ

The myth of the British playing minorities against each other makes zero historical sense, if you think about it for one minute and do a little research. In every colony where a diversity of ethnicities, cultures, and religions was present, the colonial administrators were at pains to avoid unnecessary inter-communal conflict. Why? Because it was extremely costly to deal with and interrupted their productive trade. The historical reality is that they were just not very good at smoothing over the differences that emerged in many of their colonies; Hindus vs. Muslims in India, Arabs and Jews in Palestine, and to a much smaller extent, Malays and Chinese on the Malay peninsula. This can be seen in every statute and regulation ratified since Raffles' Regulations in 1823: as he set out, "A humane and patient consideration…to remove prejudices by exposing their erroneous tendency’; ‘the Malay race are sensibly alive to shame - this is a high and honourable feeling, and ought to be cherished. Let great care be taken to avoid all punishments which are unnecessarily degrading. Both Malays and Chinese are a reasonable people, and though each may reason in a way particular to itself…this germ of civilisation should not be checked’; ‘Let native institutions, as far as regards religious observances, marriage, and inheritance, be respected, where the same are not inconsistent with justice and humanity". This sentiment of balancing an understanding for local traditions with the need to be seen to treat minorities equally (so as not to inflame notions of unfair treatment) was carried forward to a great degree by LKY, after independence.

@@turlstreet There's some truth to this however they always played communities against each other since it was literally their MO as understood by themselves (their sophisticated selves) for how they won the mandate to rule in the first place.

The Brits "Divide N Rule" games in all their colonies !

But gave us an Oxford education haha

Hello! I've never heard of that movie before. I'll check it out. - PJ

Reading from script, same as our president.

He himself is so bias n racist, for example he say bilingual is equal to Chinese, can't an Indian or Malay be bilingual? He must be sponsor by some forces to influence us.

Eric T Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt

Eric T What's wrong with reading from script. You here to nitpick? Bloody irritant!
