Native-born Singaporeans refer to those who are born and raised in Singapore. Some ancestors of the malays are immigrants from Indonesian, like Javanese etc. Whatever it is, we should not be arguing such sensitive topic here. It will just create major disruptions to the peace and harmony in Singapore. If Chinese or Indians aren't native singaporeans, how about our MM Lee and other leaders who have helped to develop the nation? Are you going to kick them out?

[MountShoreMax]

No offend but perhaps you wanna check the words Native Singaporean? Thought Native Singaporean are Malay Group?

[wendyneo]

No lah, Mountshoremax. Native Singaporean refers to anybody who is born in Singapore. The Malays are the aborigines originally.

[sleeevy]

Singapore is a multi-ethnic country. Malay, Chinese and Indian are the three largest. wendyneo is mentioning native-born because many of the top people on the Singapore Olympics team were immigrants from other countries like China and Indonesia.

[YouAssholeIdiot]

MountShoreMax is right. The natives in Singapore are the malays like the red indians in America. like the Maoris in Australia. Aborigines refer as natives. I think wendyneo got confused.

[wendyneo]

Nola, you people are confused. A native language is a language u speak/hear since birth. A native citizen is a citizen since birth. And so on. Americans do use the phrase "native americans" to refer to the original people who inhabit north america, but that's an exception and not the real meaning of "native" nor how it is used in general. Aborigines refer to those who has always been there prior to being colonised. The malays are the aborigines. All citizen-by-birth are native Singaporeans.

[YouAssholeIdiot]

what do you mean the phrase native americans is an exception, it's the same word, same spelling & of course its the same meaning too. Is there any other real meaning? you know what, you're confused. I read about these "malays".. a country that you live in were in the Malay archipelago since 15th century thru out 18th century. The malays had their own kings & queens, warriors, ministers etc..They had their own empire & governance at that time. Do you call that aborigines?

[wendyneo]

It's an exception because that's not how countries all over the world use the word "native" or the phrase "native citizen". You should read wider

[YouAssholeIdiot]

You know what.. you should, not me. There is no exception, native which mean the first habitant of the motherland not who were born in a country... one more thing, " the malacca sultanate" or "majapahit empire". These people were not aborigines. You should read it..

[wendyneo]

you are wasting my time. instead of grasping the theme and true idea of this video, you spend your time quibbling with me over something which you are in the wrong!

[michaelisation]

@MountShoreMax considering massive influx of immigrant of singapore nowadays, yip is considered a native
