Learned of this video via this blog linked to by Singapore Daily. I guess, she herself has answered the question about her identity.
Fast forward to 26.31.
Awesome.
Update: deadpris has written something about the clip here.
My comment:
You know..I get what you are trying to say, but what she said is different from saying I am Chinese. There is another way to say I am Chinese and that’s how Singaporeans do it.
But yes, I believe we are being deliberately unreasonably anal.
Anyway, these individuals are really different from us, and whatever I feel about their nationality aside (and the whole Singaporean-ness debate), I think we as (fellow) Singaporeans should admire them and must learn from the hunger and desire that these Chinese have.
Oh well…
And I don’t think anyone is asking them to forget their roots, I mean, to me at least, that’s nonsense to expect, much less demand. China has given them as much as Singapore might have. Although, I think a little mention might have been nice. No? And that omission, is telling in my opinion.
Note: I realized we are probably being deliberately unreasonably anal which is rather unbecoming.

Question of the day:
What do the many “up in arms” and “anal” comments floating around cyberspace have to say about these Singaporeans?
Missing. Wood. The. Trees. For. The.
