Compare the difference between the our Prime Minister’s salary and that of Donald Tsang, the second on the list (and with all of the other leaders on the list as well); do we really need to pay our leaders that much so as to ensure that Singapore’s government continues to attract the best of the best?

Shouldn’t those who work in the government be there not because of monetary gains, but rather because they want to serve the people, improve their lives, and ensure not only the economic stability of Singapore, but also the welfare of the people, who are the primary building block of our country?

I absolutely cannot believe the insensitive comments posted on the Yahoo! news article about this tragedy. The prejudice which some Singaporeans hold against those who come from China is, to say the least, terrible.

As one whose family is from China, but also as one who is a Singaporean, I feel both shame at the behaviour these Singaporeans display while hiding behind the cloak of anonymity, as well as anger at how these Singaporeans treat those not of their own “kind”, shunning them like a stain on the society, calling them “bochup”, “useless”, “clowns” and as one user elegantly puts it, “PRC fuqheads”.

I can understand where their hate for “PRCs” stem from (the stiff competition between the locals and the foreigners has long existed in Singapore), but such insensitive behaviour is uncalled for.

Where has the humanity gone?
