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?

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..

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

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

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.
