Harmony and Difference

[mollymeek]

Once upon a time, there was a storyteller. The moral of his stories were invariably about harmony. One day, someone regurgitated his plots and spun them, perhaps unintentionally, into tales of equality. This enraged the veteran storyteller who threw a hissy fit and yelled, “You are telling my stories wrongly!”

“But these stories are not yours.” one

I wonder if MM Lee remembered that he was telling someone from a minority race that he knew better what minority races need.

Spot on sentence.

Could a majority [who is more major than most majority in SG] truly knows the difficulties, big and small, of a minority? Might it not smack of severe arrogance & close-mindedness?

It's like, *Piak* "You know need equality! You need me to give you a special position. Because I say so!"

A little seditious leh, I think.

Racial harmony/equiality
