Could be possible that they don't have law like NEP that will just hand

People from Hongkong are more likely going to Singapore because they are
fleeing for their lives. You do know what is happening in 1997 don't you?
Besides, Singapore and Hongkong are very good centers of International trade,
makes sense that ppl from HongKong would go there. You did know that right?

I don't have first hand knowledge, but are you saying that Chinese were not
similarly affected? I don't think you can...

I think what you are actually seeing is "mixing" which you seem to be afraid 
of. Mixing makes people "one" rather than many parts which fight amongst
themselves. History has shown in multicultural societies that tension is
always created by groups each sticking to themselves.... Of course, people
who are afraid of losing superiority do not like mixing.

: strong Malay influence in parts of the republic (republic...yeah right!!).

Strong Malay influence? How many Malays are there to begin with? I am sure
Singapore is not much worried about it, so again you are probably thinking 
the wrong reasons...

That is how to keep power too, divide and conquer. Learned alot from the British
eh? :)  No mixing...

: 
: Hey, every country have a race which will dominate the country. Well, if China

But how do they dominate the country? Is it through numbers or through practice
of law?

: and Taiwan is dominated by Chinese (I should put here Singapore too)...then,

Gosh, shocking that China and Taiwan are dominated by Chinese. Could be     
because only Chinese live there, with very very very small exceptions? 

: whats the problem of Malaysia being dominated by the Malays?? Hey, even the US

Nothing is wrong with being dominant, until that group starts picking on other
groups. Do you pick on Chinese by the way? The problems always start when one
person thinks his groups deserves all the benefits. Political parties, ethnic
groups, nationalities, religions etc. It all becomes the same thing: corruption.

: has a so called dominant race... Caucasians/whites. I only brought this up

Only dominant by numbers, not through law. That is changing too, especially
in California which is one of the most powerful amd influential states.
You won't find a single law today that was made to benefit one particular 
group over another in the US.
