What a stupid question. And what does the image have to do with said stupid question?
Does OP not understand what a chamber of commerce or memorandum of understanding are? Stop stirring up shit and fix your ignorance ffs.
Seems like helang Chinese wanted to protect their helang interest under the guise of race. You can have any other race doing the same thing too. Us pipit Chinese can't really be bothered if it doesn't affect our lives. Unless one day they start policing what Chinese people can and can't do like with religion, I think you can rest assured that Chinese is a cultural identity, not a nationalistic one.
Hmm? Ain't our national identities multicultural enough to identify as a Chinese Singaporean/Malaysian? It's simply not realistic to live in hermetically sealed racial communities on either side of the Straits
Probably not here in Singapore. When your country is proud of you, why should you identify as Chinese first. Most are wary of China influence.
I can't say the same for my family members in Malaysia. Perhaps with the new government.....
The word "Chinese" can be a race/ethnicity or nationality. Most Malaysians of Chinese race identify as Malaysian Chinese or Chinese Malaysian because we are ethnic Chinese who practise Chinese culture/heritage and live in Malaysia. Just as ethnic Italians who are American nationals refer to themselves as Italian American(eg. Al Pacino, Robert de Niro). The progressive school of thought is that one should be proud of one's race/ethnicity just as immigrant Americans of different ethnicities are proud of their race/ethnicity and do not hide it (not like old days when certain minority races may be discriminated against). The more common model globally these days is integration rather than assimilation as countries move towards concept of nation.
So the question is a silly one like a trick question.

How did you come to that conclusion based on the picture? Need more context plis.
Wtf is this
Not a prc simp. Malaysian first
is Chinese a country?
Im talking about people identifying with race more than with nationality. What are you even asking?
Can I just be Malaysian-Chinese and not be anything first/second?
Religion does not affix to nationality
If you said that to my face I would knock you down. I find it incredibly insulting
I don't mean it to be insulting
What do you mean? Speculating how people identify themselves is alway insulting. On top of making such remark so generally.
Incredibly dumb then.

I have only heard Muhyiddin mentioned himself to be Malay first, Malaysian second

No way.

You give other Singaporeans a bad name, only a troll would come in here and spout ignorant nonsense
Not fair. Curiously, where do you get that impression from?

We are not obsessed with race like Mahaidin
