How come I need to learn how to integrate with foreigners in my own country after serving NS?

"The question becomes a sharper one when you have practices from ... where our new citizens come from, and they import practices that we might not be so comfortable with," he said.

To address this, Singapore has introduced programmes for potential citizens and permanent residents through the People's Association, and integration and naturalisation champions (INCs). Companies also run programmes to familiarise newcomers with local norms.

But it takes two hands to clap, and local-born Singaporeans have a part to play, Mr Tong said.

pap voters should learn how to integrate since they endorsed the foreigner influx policies of the pap.

Actually I think it depends on how it's done.

Locals need to make the new citizens feel welcome while the new citizens need to be humble and learn from us

It's like joining a new company.  The new recruit needs to learn how to integrate with the company but existing staff should also treat him warmly and not with hostility

The problem with this is that we have been too welcoming. Nowhere else in the world will the citizens suck it up like us with about 40% of the population being foreigners. AND, with the small size of our land space.

At least people in those countries can still protest.

Also, pap seems to like to kowtow to these foreigners, and expect us to do likewise.

I remember that Baey guy asked us to reflect on why foreigners behave like this.

Of course the foreigners will behave like kings when the gov don't even want to put them in their places.
