May I know what is "inappropriate" about my comment?
Keeping status quo for the ratio of races is something our ex-pm/mm, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, has emphasised the importance of in his many speeches/rallies.

Singapore has been giving PR and citizenship to Malaysians with very little restrictions in the early 2000s, well, at least compared to now.
You can refer to the speeches our late LKY has said in his National Day rally, and in his book. Some citations at the annex of this post.


Taking that into account, we can simply look at the birth rate of Malays and Chinese.
Chinese and Indian fertility rates has been hovering about at about 1, while Malays are consistently above 2.
If we let this trend go on, it's not possible for our ethnic composition to maintain status quo.

It is not far-fetched to say that giving Malaysian, Malaysian Chinese in particular, PR and citizenship is one of the means to maintaining the status quo for the composition of ethnic races in Singapore.
Feel free to look at the Census of population released by our govt at any given year. You won't be surprised to find how much Malaysia-born Chinese there are that contributes to our ethnic residency in Singapore.


Annex:
“Let me tell you what I would think if I were an Indian. Why not 76 per cent Indians, 15 per cent Malays and 7 per cent Chinese? That is better still.

“But you know this is the real world. Let us just maintain status quo. And we have to maintain it or there will be a shift in the economy, both the economic performance and the political backdrop which makes that economic performance possible.”
1989 National Day Rally speech, quoted in The Straits Times, August 21st, 1989, p. 17

"Seventy-five per cent of our population of two million were Chinese, a tiny minority in an archipelago of 30,000 islands inhabited by more than 100 million Malay or Indonesian Muslims. We were a Chinese island in a Malay sea. How could we survive in such a hostile environment?"

Dear @Dragon & @Dr.Vijay

I have 3 issues that I would like to highlight.

1. About my earlier appeal.
I refer to my earlier appeal, which was locked by moderator Intrinion:
https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/threads/may-i-know-why-is-this-comment-inappropriate.6779335/May I ask, does moderator Intrinion's comment represent the stand of hardwarezone>EDMW subforum? That we are not allowed to talk about race related matters at all?
I am replying to a fellow forumer who is talking about how our govt has been giving out citizenship with very little restrictions. All I said is why the government might be doing so.
What I said is my opinion on the matter, so it's not falsehood either. How is it inappropriate, worth 6points?

2. Suspected mod biasedness against me
I also suspect that a certain moderator in EDMW has a strong bias against me.
I refer to an even earlier appeal thread, where I have stated that your moderator loves to specifically choose just before long holidays to ban me.
https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/...his-comment-to-result-in-a-2week-ban.6756539/First is Labour Day long weekend, Next is Vesak Day long weekend.
Other fellow forumers wished me luck, as following this pattern, I will be banned on Hari Raya Haji.
It really did happened again.
@lowzeewee , @sexeyXR , you guys are right. Guess I will be banned again come National Day.

3. About appeal channels for banned users
I refer to Dr.Vijay's comment, where you have highlighted that my appeals were sent to spam, despite using the right channel for banned users.
https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/...-result-in-a-2week-ban.6756539/post-142163580Both previously and now, I have done my appeals through the correct channel. Through https://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/feedback, and then replying the email response from hwz.
Both previous and now, I have used the same and correct channel for my appeals.

It is disappointing to see that after 2.5months, nothing has changed.
My appeals were ignored for days and until now there has been no response.
I have even went back to https://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/feedback to send a new appeal after you guys did not respond to my email reply.
Till now, there is still no response.

However, when I post my appeal here, it takes your moderator 15mins to reply and close my case.

I refer to the screenshot shared by you. The remarks mentioned, touches on sacrosanct and sensitive racial grounds. It is discriminatory and racist towards a race group, and we do not condone such race-related remarks on our forum.

For that, my fellow moderator has given you a warning and unapproved the post from public view.

Huh? How is that discriminatory or racist towards a race group?
I say malay give birth a lot, so much so if we dont give msian pr/citizen to supplement the numbers, it will quickly throw the race ratio off, is considered racist?
So my mistake here is forgetting to mention other races don't give birth as much as malays?

I haven't gotten the time to dig through the literature, but in Mr Lee Kuan Yew's book, and also during his days as PM, when asked by opposition y keep giving msian/hk chinese pr/citizen he also highlighted many times the importance of keeping the race ratio. Cause malay keep giving birth but chinese and indian don't want to.
If my quoted literature is insufficient i am confident i can find more.

Is the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew is also racist then?

I refer to the screenshot made by you in post 1. In addition to the reasons that I have previously stated, the entirety of the content body lacked any background and contextual knowledge for proper discussion or intellectual discourse. The statement that you have made is inflammatory and discriminatory towards a major race group in Singapore. These are valid grounds for the warning given.

We note that you have quoted some passages from the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew in this thread to support your appeal. However, we find that the quotes are largely unrelated and quoted out of context.

There are many things that can be quoted out of context to suit to one’s confirmation bias.

Let’s be clear here, the warning was given for the statement that you have made.

As the moderator has explained, please kindly reflect on your own post.

It's really clear why that kind of replies are not condoned.

There will be no further debate on this.

Thank you.
