Singaporean Identity — A Conversation That Reminded Me What We Stand For

I recently spoke to a Singapore uncle here in the UK. His name is B. Lim, a proud Singaporean Chinese. As we chatted, he shared something that struck me deeply:

Many people still confuse ethnicity with nationality — especially when it comes to Singaporeans.

He told me his story.

He was born in British Malaya, just like many families of his generation. When Singapura became independent, he became Singaporean. From that moment on, his life was shaped by Singapore’s history, Singapore’s education, Singapore’s values, and Singapore’s culture — not China’s.

He grew up learning the story of British Malaya and Singapura, the journey of independence, and the building of a young nation. His national service, his schooling, his community — everything was part of the Singapore identity.

With a swift swing of his axe, he thought he had ended the life of one bird. But instead of collapsing, the chicken staggered to its feet and began walking around.

The farmer and his family were stunned. By the next morning, the bird was still alive, clucking faintly and trying to peck the ground. Lloyd realised that his axe had missed the jugular vein and left most of the brain stem intact. Against all odds, the chicken’s basic functions — balance, breathing, even attempts at feeding — were still working.

The family named him Mike, and soon, Mike became more than just a farm curiosity. Lloyd began feeding him with an eyedropper, carefully giving him grain and water directly…
