The Minister of the Internal Affairs and Minister of Justice Shang Mogan said in a speech at the New Year's Corps of the Fujian Club that in the world pattern where the relationship between the relationship between the relationship between the great power and the weakening of the multilateral system of the free trade, Singapore must act firmly in accordance with its own interests.It should not be affected by other countries.This reminder is very timely in the moment when international geopolitical storm mutations are mutated.Singapore cannot avoid being affected by the international situation, but it must be ensured that these impacts will not endanger social cohesion and unity of nationals.This is not only the government's duties, but also the obligation that every Chinese must have consciously.
The external challenges described by Shang Morgan may be familiar with the people.The Russian and Ukraine War was in the ascendant. Recently, the US -China relations fell into the bottom due to the balloon incident. The international mutual trust loss led to the rise of trade protectionism, and the superposition effect exacerbated global inflation.These changes are increasingly threatening the external conditions of Singapore's survival and development.But more importantly, the internal conditions to support Singapore's survival and development also face similar pressure.In the international community, it is easy to transmit to the local area through the increasingly popular social media. In addition, foreign people who are not familiar with the special environment in Singapore help the flames, which will easily hurt social cohesion.Chinese people must be vigilant about this.
In order to introduce the Chinese New Year's customs of the British Museum, the Great British Museum has held a promotion activity sponsored by the Korean government.Because the English name of the event is "Korean New Year's Lunar New Year", it has caused fierce protests from Chinese netizens, and indirectly set off a long -term dispute between the two people's traditional cultural attributes.The incident was full of social media, and unfortunately stunned pond fish.Nanyang Institute of Technology has caused controversy for all student groups in the campus to celebrate the use of the English New Year in the Lunar New Year.The school's reason is that the school's Korean and Vietnamese students also celebrate the Lunar New Year, so they are more tolerant than using the "Chinese New Year".This is not unreasonable. After all, the English "Chinese New Year" is ambiguous and can be understood as "the Chinese New Year."
For the Chinese people, this is not a problem, because local habits are used in the "Lunar New Year" and "Chinese New Year".However, due to the English "lunar calendar" on the New Year event board on the campus on the campus of NTU, it was changed to "Chinese (or can also be interpreted as 'Chinese')" and rendered it through social media.Public opinion incident.From the perspective of the local Chinese News Agency, the incident around two English characters should have been the storm in the tea cup, but because it may involve foreigners, and the controversial content is related to sensitive topics such as language and race.I am afraid it will no longer become simple.
In this way, the young people who had occurred before were in contact with online terrorism and self -radicals. The incident had a greater impact on the local Muslim community because they might worry about misunderstandings of other people.In the same way, local Chinese do not want language and racial problems to be hyped, especially from foreigners who do not understand the sensitivity of the problem, because this will definitely affect the precious mutual trust between different communities.Therefore, when facing such controversy, people cannot just hold the lively mentality, but they should be alert to whether their emotions are guided by a specific point of view, and even when necessary, they must come forward and insist on speaking from Singapore's national interests.
The focus of Most Morgan pointed out that Singapore's national interests have been consistent since the founding of the People's Republic of China.He quoted a series of "hard principles" of Founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew. The core key is that Singapore is "different, knowing what we need to do, and more importantly, we have the courage and determination to do the right thing for Singapore."The size and good friendly are not dominated by them. "Singapore does not follow other countries, and specially requires testing tourists from China as an example. It emphasizes that this is not to please China, but to protect their own interests based on scientific and pharmaceutical knowledge.
In the worship of the Fujian clubs with a long history and huge social influence, this reason, Shang Morgan specially emphasizes his background as a non -Chinese minister and has a sincere appeal about the local Chinese society.Don't forget to be the status of Singaporeans, it is worthwhile to chew carefully.Maintaining social cohesion is a relay match that cannot be seen at the end.Regardless of how the international situation changes, Singapore's national interests are always the same -we must be the owner of our destiny.
