Singaporeans Losing their Asian Soul

Singaporeans Losing their Asian Soul

Mr Ngiam Tong Dow said that Singaporeans are in danger of losing their roots and their Asian souls.

Schools neglect to teach history and literature.

Dialects were banned from the mass media. With it, the death of our cultural roots.

The young are becoming more westernised. How not, when we are fed on a daily diet of Hollywood culture.

Look at the mandarin channel TV. All I heard is shouting and quarrelling. Is that the way people resolve conflict.

Look at the English Channel TV. Not happy? Bang Bang. Violence seems to be the answer.
The programmes you see on TV are a cheap imitation of the West.
Where's the originality?
