I wouldn’t say losing its mind. Definitely some click bait title there on your end. It just goes into how the Chinese ethnic population in Singapore, which is a city state in Malaysia, are aligning more with the Chinese Communist party. An example is not believing in human rights abuse against the Uyghurs in China. This divergence will lead to unrest ultimately, and will impact the successes of the city state. I debated even posting but most people won’t read the article and just go based on your title, which is inflammatory.
I know nothing about this subject. Is it sort of like what happened with Hong Kong and/or Macau?
Thank you!
If reunification has become less popular, is there a general cause of this that wouldn't require you writing out a treatise for the sake of an offhand question?
Makes perfect sense, thank you. I would have had no problem with an explanation of any length (and the forum might be interested in you making a post on this topic at some point) but I respect your time and patience.
I come from a family of academics, and there's a word of advice that I remember hearing said to others since I was a kid "If you want to write a thesis, you will always feel that you have not done enough research. Eventually, you need to actually write despite that feeling." Perhaps you could include the books you haven't read as a little "further reading" section.
Post Independence from Britain Singapore wanted to federate with Malaysia but Malaysia kicked them out because they didn't want a city full of Chinese and also because they were afraid of Lee Kuan Yew.
