Singapore and racism: me, me, me

1) I'm not Singaporean. I was born in Malaysia to a Malaysian Chinese mother and an Indonesian Chinese father. I have, however, lived in Singapore since I was six; when I lived in Hong Kong, I attended a Singaporean primary school. Until I was twelve, I was schooled in the local system, in one of the better public schools. (This was due at last in part, I suspect, to family influence, because my parents a made a big deal of my being able to enter at the start of primary 2. In addition, I recall that of my Primary 6 class of forty students, about three were Indian and there were no Malay girls.) I entered the international school circuit until I finished grade twelve.
