ES2660 - Indians and PRC

Look at an article and apply barrett's taxonomy.

Mining for information:

We can Ask questions to get more information.
E.g
What's the source? Is there an agenda? Who is the author?

Case study:

Article

Opinions:
- Use the practical consideration as a mask for discrimination/prejudice against certain races
- Individualistic racism where even thou the law applies to the country as a whole but it does not apply on individual level
- Singaporeans are very sensitive to the issue of immigration.
     - People have a psychological hierarchy


Assumption:
- Indians and Mainland china cannot take care of property (Landlords)
- Xenophobia


Level 1:
- Written by a British citizen (linkedin)


Group B:
Writer quoted a lot of people, but its alot of lip service.
- Ostrich syndrome
- Made references about how theres laws in UK as well
- Felt that if the government dig up more on this, there will be more 'dirty laundry' revealed and there will be a bigger gap between the immigrants and locals

Group C:
- Durian is a stronger smell compared to curry
- If use durian compared to curry would it cause more problem as durian is a common singaporean authority
- Cover different but did not provide any suggestions on what can solve this problem

Instance: The smell of curry
- How entitled to question the indian family about stopping cooking
- The chinese family is being discriminating


- The govenerment is introducing many things to promote culture
- The govenement have a quota on how many races are there

Landlords:
- Its their property
- They can choose not to discrimination
- Solution: Agreement to do house cleaning as a requirement
- Ask the tenants if they have a culture of cooking heavy smelling food and split them accordingly

Group D:
