Do away with race identity?
I do not think doing away with race identification would make us a better society or a more harmonious one. The colour of your skin is still the same and you still have the physical features associated with your race.
People will take advantage of the system. For example, a company may decide to hire only people of one race. And soon you will find that residents in some blocks of HDB flats belong to only one race.
World Cup
When SingTel got the rights for the EPL matches, football fans grumbled and complained because they thought they had to pay more. They said competition was bad and they wanted back monopoly.
Now that no one had yet got the rights to the World Cup matches, football fans grumbled again. They blamed SingTel and they criticized everyone including MDA and Singapore Pools for not helping them to pay for their hobby. But they never criticize FIFA, the main culprit.
Why not raise fund from football fans to help pay part of the cost demanded by FIFA. And, in four years time, they will have to raise more fund because FIFA would demand more.
Someone said fooball is a national passion. Football does not qualify to be a national passion. What percentage of Singaporeans are football fanatics? 50%? One million? If there are so many passionate football fans, I think SingTel would pay the amount as it could collect back the money from them.
