Who you have, not what you have

Singaporeans

1. Europeans who lived in colonial Singapore.
2. Eurasians who lived in the British colony in the early 1900s.
3. Malayans who lived in Singapore when it was expelled from Malaysia in 1965.
4. Present-day citizens who are tolerant of other races and religions, and ready to defend multiracial Singapore.

Today's younger Singaporeans are a complaining and an ungrateful lot: most take Singapore's peace and prosperity for granted—terrorism, nationalism, and antiglobalization could usher them into a future they'd be unprepared for.
