I refer to "SG Passport - Sports Talents Nothing More than Exchange Services". Click on http://www.therealsingapore.com/content/sg-passport-most-our-foreign-sports-talent-nothing-more-exchange-services
It is a known fact that PAP uses SG Passport to help foreigners get citizenships to improve the falling Singapore Chinese population and to improve PAP's votes.
And for foreigners like Gu the badminton player, they don't mind giving up their China passport in exchange for SG passport because they are confident that their PRC government would take them back eventually.
Many foreigners on ASEAN scholarships or MOE programmes study in local tertiary institutions and many of them are mainly located in the Western part of Singapore to improve PAP's votes.
Ever since Lee Kwan Yew opened the doors to immigration in the 1990s, we have seen a flood of foreign students and foreigners who have insulted us, taken advantage of our system and reduced our standard of living to a miserable status.
We are told that foreigners help to improve our real median salaries, create jobs and ensure that we are competitive.
Foreigners and new citizens are partly the reason why opposition politicians such as Hazel Poa and Steve Chia can only garner a weak showing when they contested in Choa Chu Kang in GE2011 while mediocre PAP politicians Gan Kim Yong, Vivian Balakrishnan and Tharman continue to enjoy strong showing.
However, time and time again, we have seen how new citizens can be just as vile, unreliable and can bite the PAP hands that feed them.
Today, we highlight 10 new citizens and foreigners who Singaporeans love to hate but for some reason, PAP loves them.
----------------
10) Talin Tuoya.
A former television actress who made her way into a Chinese acting local show Star Search in 1990.
She boasted that she is a descendent of Genghis Kan and graduated with a degree in music/ fine arts from a China school.
However, she did not win the Star Search and later in 1991, she physically fought with another PRC actress Tracy Gao over some trivial issues. Police didn't arrest her and she got away scot-free.
Later, she was cast in the main lead in a drama The Great Conspiracy in 1993 but insiders say that she was very demanding and difficult to work with and behaved like a prima donna.
She was very unpopular with local audience and faded into the limelight after 1996. Rumours has it that she divorced her first husband from PRC and got herself a big maintenance after her child.
9) Quan Yifeng
Mediacorp's host was fined in 1997 for having an altercation with a bowling alley assistant and fined for driving without a license. Mediacorp fired her as it was conduct unbecoming of a Mediacorp artiste.
However, audience continued to crave for her presence and Mediacorp, thinking she will be a good product celebrity endorsement, accepted her back in 2003 and she continued to enjoy popularity votes.
In 2011, she was once again on 15 months probation for having destroyed a taxi driver's equipment but Mediacorp decided not to punish her as she still very popular.
Netizens have blasted Mediacorp for selling out and setting a bad role model for others and should have fired Quan despite her being a top selling mega-star.
8) Feng Tianwei
Sometimes, actions hurt louder than words.
Feng Tianwei was seen throwing a bouquet of flowers in London Olympics after her match to PRCs. Click on http://temasektimes.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/outcry-over-feng-tianwei-throwing-flowers-at-cheering-prc-fans-after-her-win-at-london-olympics/
Feng Tianwei's citizenship has always been controversial. She was also caught not singing the National Anthem and National Pledge. Chan Chun Sing has openly declared that he wants to find a Singaporean boyfriend for Feng Tianwei to keep her rooted in Singapore. But even many Chinese Singaporeans dislike PRCs so it is highly unlikely that Singapore men would even want her.
7) Carlos Pestano
Process engineer in Seagate Singapore made some comments that Singaporeans are rotten.
And said "and most are working under us, that's why some are bitter cos they are working under foreigners while they are in their own country. Don't blame us for this."
Indeed, Singaporeans didn't blame you for your comments and made sure you lost your job instead in Seagate.
6) Ryan Goh
Malaysian born, Singapore PR Ryan Goh instigated a riot in Singapore Airlines by getting his colleagues to go on strike in 2004.
That pissed Lee Kwan Yew off as Singapore Airlines is his Temasek Holdings baby and made sure that Ryan Goh loses his PR status. Ryan Goh didn't lose much too, as he has made plans to emigrate to Australia.
And Lee Kwan Yew didn't seem to learn his lesson after 2004 and still kept on importing Sun Xu, Amy Cheong and Wang Pengfei to insult Singaporeans.
5) Sun Xu
Singaporeans still have Sun Xu in mind as the incident happened not too long ago.
Sun Xu was invited by MOE to be on a teaching scholarship. He studied in River Valley High and later to NUS. Once he made some remarks about Singaporeans being dogs, it escalated into death threats and a disciplinary hearing to terminate his scholarship.
Netizens have asked Sun Xu to repay back all the money before he can leave Singapore but there is no Court order to do that.
4) Wang Pengfei
A former student of EASB which is a school notorious for PRCs in Singapore, he drew black lipstick on himself and shown to be making fun of Malay Singaporeans in a mocking tone.
And it wasn't even funny.
If it's Kumar, the comedian, he can get away with it because Kumar is native Singaporean and at least he makes fun of all races.
With Wang, he is just digging a grave for himself and was asked to leave Singapore without completing his studies but at least he wasn't on govt scholarship.
3) Amy Cheong
When you insult Malays, you pay a heavy price for it. Already Malays in Singapore are being suppressed by PAP in military, armed forces and when a Chinese insulted them, you are asking for trouble.
To add insult, Amy Cheong is a Malaysian on Singapore PR in the first place. After termination by NTUC, Amy escaped to Perth where another racist Anton Casey resides.
2) Anton Casey.
The latest victim of online vigilantism. After insulting poor Singaporeans and his need to 'wash the stench' of public transport, the former wealth manager escaped to Perth to join another bigot Amy Cheong.
The worst part was Indranee Rajah who came out to defend Anton Casey and said that we, the online vigilantes have gone too far and need to restrain ourselves.
1) Zhang Yuanyuan
It is a well known fact that PRCs cannot adapt but they will boss over and tell locals to change their habits. We have seen how one PRC family has asked a Singaporean Indian family not to cook curry as it is too smelly. They simply cannot integrate due to their Communist thinking.
The top of the list would be the outburst among local netizens over a video clip lasting less than a minute.
It involved a China Central Television (CCTV) clip on YouTube showing Miss Zhang Yuanyuan, 28, a Chinese national and Singapore permanent resident (PR), declaring her loyalty to China.
The Beijing native, who participated as part of the women's militia in last week's 60th anniversary celebrations of the Communist Party's rise to power, had lived and worked in Singapore for five years before returning to China last year.
She became a Singapore PR in 2005 and remains so.
The clip had showed a copy of her blue Singapore NRIC (issued to PRs).
She told CCTV in Mandarin: "People have asked me why I'm willing to undergo the tough (military) training and I say that serving my motherland is my biggest wish."
News reports in China say Miss Zhang studied in Singapore and then worked for a multi-national corporation here, earning $4,000 a month.
The clip prompted some Singaporeans to ask if Singapore should continue to let Chinese nationals study and work here.
