i like the concept of "cultural orphans", because i think it encapsulates the lack of belonging to a culture, but it gives space to learn and build one. it is good to focus on what unites instead of using categories as a way of dividing

“They think I’m Malay” But you are. A mixed identity consists of multiple cultures, and you encompass all of them wholly. Don’t let anyone make you feel as if you don’t belong somehow, and especially in Singaporean society, don’t be led into believing being mistaken for a Malay person is somehow a bad thing. Yes, you’re Malay. Yes, you’re Chinese. You’re both. If you want to learn more about your Chinese side, that’s definitely possible - there are various resources in Singapore for this, and if you’d like to take your religion into account, assuming you’re Muslim, there’s a specific association for that as well. Internationally, there are opportunities to explore this side of your identity too. I’d look into this if I were you. Keeping in touch with our roots requires active effort.

I went to TAMIL Primary in MY. I remember my best days. Later I had to go to REMOVE CLASS meaning one year b4 English Stream to learn English. AIYOOOO. English was difficult to comprehend. We have a diet of all things TAMIL. That was a disaster, a failure in the School System and left school with Grade 2 MCA and pass in Malay Language. Was UNEMPLOYED for 5 years. I then became a grass cutter. Learning Mandarin was HOSTILE. A language without non Chinese Teachers and there was no trust to Learn. I like to learn Mandarin but where if to pay a little only as disposable money is diminished. My grass cutting Clients are all Chinese TOWKAYS Mansions in the Klang Valley. Language is a key to MY/SG Progress in Business and Interaction. Learn Vietnamese today as the next economic powerhouse in Asia.

the notion of taking chinese in schools is such a pragmatic decision. to think about it, even for Chinese Singaporeans, chinese can be regarded as a mere subject and not so much as part of culture...mAybe that's the unintended conseq of mandating a second language

I can fully resonate with them, especially Joseph, as a mixed race person. I have a Chinese father and a Eurasian mother. I look Chinese, I have a general pale face. hahah It is easy for me to slip in and out but being a lot more fluent in Chinese, I am better with the Chinese community but I detest being considered as just being Chinese. It is a complete disregard of who truly am.

Same here. Except for me, it's the other way around. When I was in primary, my mother(who doesn't know Mandarin or Cantonese at all, & the only dialect she speaks is Hainanese(which I don't even understand a word of it) wanted me to study in a Chinese school(due to me being very bad in maths) but luckily my dad put a stop to that...... because I was already struggling to pass exams in Sekolah Kebangsaan + none of us speaks Mandarin @ home.
