Religion is always a sensitive topic...best not to discuss on it...to each their own beliefs...><"
maxsee, you are a typical singaporean. Yes it's sensitive but we should still discuss it intellectually. We should discuss it in healthy ways.
Tithing has never been compulsory....the action of a single pastor does not represent the religion...so i still say the same thing to each their own beliefs...
this is about religion meh?

Sensitive topic must also be discussed.
For example, Harry Lee Kuan Yew is an anglophile bastard that suppressed chinese education in Singapore, this should also be openly discussed.
We can't run away from all these sensitive topics, sooner or later all of them must be confronted.
Endangered species?
For goodness sake, Lee Kuan Yew practically filled the entire cabinet with inbred Peranakans.
For the last few decades in Singapore, the top positions in civil service, statutory boards, armed forces, GLCs have all along been going disproportionately to the Peranakans.
That is one reason why Singapore has been run to the ground.
Lee Kuan Yew worked with the Japanese Kempeitai and later the British colonizers to suppress the non-Peranakan Chinese.
That's why he has always been wary of non-Peranakan Chinese and could only entrust power to his own family members and his other Peranakan cronies.

Religious, ethnic, sexual, economic, foreign affairs, class conflict, all the issues must be thoroughly discussed.
We certainly should not shy away from discussing sensitive topics. This is wrong and must be firmly disapproved.
Final Message to the Singaporean Youths
In a rare public interview in 1997 Radio Corporation of Singapore, Dr Toh passionately bemoaned the lack of idealism and creativity among the young and its implications for the future of Singapore.
He said:
“I would say the generation of the ‘50s and ‘60s took the plunge into politics without ever calculating the costs of the risk and the benefits to be gained. They were driven by ideology.
Today’s generation has no culture and averse to taking political risk.
Really, an interest in politics is very necessary for the future.
But I cannot blame the present generations, because they see the heavy-handed response by the government to dissenting views, even though they know that these matters involve their daily lives.
So the result is that we have produced a younger generation who are meek and therefore very calculating.
They are less independent-thinking and lack in initiative.
It does not bode well for the emergence of future leaders in politics and business.
Robots and computers can be programmed or if you like, can be trained. But the trouble, of course, is that computers lack soul and what we need in Singapore is soul. Because it is soul that makes society.”

How can we betray Toh Chin Chye and not heed his advice?
