    The British are real foreign devils, and Singaporeans are fake foreign devils;

    English is English spoken by British, and English spoken by Singaporeans is singlish;

    The British are the helpers of the Commonwealth, and the Singaporeans are the younger brothers of the Commonwealth;

    Britain is a country that does not leave autumn, and Singapore is a small country;

    The British like to annex the world, and the Singaporeans like to cling to Britain and the United States;

    The United Kingdom has four seasons of natural scenery, and Singapore has tropical artificial scenery.

    I'm coming to add upstairs:

    The British regard native English speakers as "their own", while Singaporeans are of Chinese descent but take pride in speaking English.

    The British and the Americans are "one family" and take care of each other in the international community, while Singapore regards the mother country of Chinese culture as an "enemy" and opposes it everywhere to curry favor with Britain and the United States.

    The British will try their best to promote the relationship with China according to the form to achieve mutual benefit, and the Singaporeans are just bent on following the British and the United States;

    The British can do whatever they want for their own benefit, and Singaporeans must look at the faces of the British and American before doing anything.

    1. Singaporeans are afraid of losing.

    Singaporeans are known almost all over the world for their "fear of losing" personality, and the most prominent manifestation is in enrolling their children in cram schools. Many parents in Singapore seem strange to people in other countries, obviously their children have good grades and do not need to apply for cram schools at all, but when they see other children attending cram schools, parents will still sign up for cram schools for their children again, just because they are "afraid of losing".

    According to the 2015 Singapore Household Expenditure Survey, Singaporean households spend S$1.1 billion on after-school tuition.

    The reason why Singaporeans are "afraid of losing" is because of the sense of crisis that has arisen since the founding of the country. At the beginning of Singapore's founding, there was no oil, no coal mines, and natural resources were very scarce, and the only thing that could be relied on was the critical geographical location of the Strait of Malacca, and the Strait of Malacca could not guarantee eternal prosperity, so Singapore could only rely on itself.

    2. Singaporeans are curious.

    In addition to the "fear of losing", Singaporeans are also very curious, which is reflected in the fact that Singaporeans love to queue.

    Singaporeans' obsession with queuing has reached crazy proportions. Singaporeans even queued up until midnight for toys in McDonald's**, not to mention when the iPhone was released, with hundreds of people queuing up overnight. Sometimes I don't even know what people are waiting in line, so I start following the queue curiously.

    But it is precisely because Singaporeans have this strong curiosity that they can continue to explore and discover, and Singapore can develop rapidly and become one of the "Asian Tigers" in a short period of time!

    In fact, people in every country will have their own characteristics, and no one characteristic is absolutely good or absolutely bad, and it is precisely because of the variety of characteristics that the diverse world is constituted.

    The ancestors came from southern China, mainly Hainan, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces. Fujian, Teochew and Hainan nationals in Singapore together account for three-quarters of Singapore's Chinese population. The remaining quarter are mainly Cantonese, Hakka and other origins.

    The dialect group of Fujian Province in southern China was the first Chinese ethnic group to immigrate to Singapore. The eclectic cultural mix adds to Singapore's charm.

    It should be said that in terms of the total number of Chinese in the world, Malaysia is the country with the largest number of Chinese outside the Taiwan Strait, with about 7 million, and Singaporean Chinese about 3.42 million.

    In terms of proportion, Singaporean Chinese account for about 75% of the total population. The difference is that Singapore's official languages are English (ranked first) and Chinese (ranked third).

    Therefore, some Chinese in Singapore can only understand English and cannot understand Chinese, this is because the Chinese in Singapore are bilingual teaching, this bilingual teaching is mainly English, supplemented by Chinese, it is estimated that the level of this bilingual teaching, that is, the level of our primary school Chinese grade 5. Singapore was ordered by then-Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew to close Nanyang University (using Chinese as the medium of instruction) in the 80s, as well as to close Chinese schools, leaving Chinese as a subject, and now the effect has lasted for decades, and Singaporeans' Chinese proficiency is only limited to the level of daily conversation.

    Summary. More than 70% of Singapore's residents are Chinese.

    More than 70% of Singapore's residents are Chinese.

    Singapore and China have a long history, as early as the Three Kingdoms period, Chinese came to Shizixin, so there are large cherry blossom Chinese here. In fact, 75% of Singapore's 2 million nationals at independence were Chinese. Walking in the streets and alleys of Singapore at that time, Chinese slogans and advertisements can be seen everywhere.

    Under normal circumstances, Lee Kuan Yew should have made Chinese his official language, after all, he needed the support of the Chinese people to rule the country.

    Singapore was a former British colony, and of course some of its education and culture were influenced by Western education, but because of the 73 percent Chinese, many of the country's traditions were also influenced by the East, so this country is a typical East-West country, which became independent on August 9, 1965.

    The concept of "Chinese" is defined in terms of nationality Chinese citizens holding Chinese nationality can be defined as Chinese.

    Singaporeans are mostly of Chinese descent, accounting for more than 70 percent of Singapore's population, mainly composed of Hokkien people, followed by Chaoshan people, Cantonese people, Hakka people, Hainanese, Putian people, Shanghainese immigrants and their descendants, and the remaining more than 20% of the population are Malays, Indians, and people of mixed Eurasian race.

    Chinese people are descendants of Chinese people, but they are not nationally Chinese, so your proposition is that Singaporeans are not Chinese, but most of them are Chinese.

    Not Chinese. Many of the Chinese there are descendants of the original Malaysian Chinese. Malaysia was jealous of the Chinese intelligence and drove the Chinese to Singapore, so there are many people in Singapore who speak Chinese and even follow some traditional Chinese culture.
