Have you ever wondered why no Asian countries have ever tried to preach to countries in the West about our Asian values and way of life?

    Oxford dude is right. There is no such thing as Asian values. How does one define Asian values? Are the values in East Asia and Singapore the same as those in India or the Russia? Are the values in a Karen tribe similar to that of urban Singapore?

    In fact, the so-called Asian values are nothing more than Sino-centric ideas propagated by dictators who are keen to hold on to power. The most vocal proponents of Asian values used to be LKY and Dr. M, who used confucian emphasis on repect and authority to ensure that people remain subservient. Outside of SEA, I’ve never heard anyone talking about Asian values. Maybe because it’s really nothing more than propaganistic BS, heh?

    Why then does the Government/PAP send so many scholars to Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, Stanford and MIT? Does not make any sense at all. Hypocricy? Stupidity? Suckers for punishment?

    IT IS THEIR SONS WHO GO TO THESE SCHOOLS. HOW TO EMULATE THE BRITISH EDUCATED MR LEES ?

    For all their education, none of these people have the moral fibre nor the testicular fortitude to step forward and be counted.

    Lets assume East Asian Value (confucius) is what PAP refering. To live in such society means

    1) Emperor will have thousands of consort

    2) To keep those young under-sexed consort, emperor will need thousands of Eunuch.

    3) Emperor is able to murder up to 10th extended families when he is not happy with someone.

    4) The Emperor can humiliate his subjects by mandating all female kins to be prostitute

    4) All woman must self injured their feet till crippled to create 3 inch lotus.

    5) Capital punishment may mean slow death of 3 days and 10 000 cuts.

    I want to thank all western colonial power who invade China. Because of them, Chinese are finally freed from evils.

    It is not the eastern values region is China but Hong Kong, the most westernized that is the most prosperous.

    The old man himself not so long ago (1980s) declared that Australians were the “white trash of Asia” – Ho is simply following in grand-dad’s footsteps. One of our virtues (Asian value) is of course that we are ever so humble.

    By the way, how many of the elite are Christians. They should straight away renounce Christianity as it is full of Western values.

    What a load of humbug, bullshit, clap-trap and unadulterated stupidity, ignorance and bigotry

    Thanks to globalisation and the internet, we now know better what is fictional and what is fact . Otherwise we will still believe the well (if we are frogs) is the safest and happiest place, outside it is a big bad world, all doomed to oppression.
