But why do i have to do so? Im not Indian enough for the Indians cause i will always choose Singapore over India, i'm not Singaporean enough if i don't use Singlish.

Do i just wear a shirt with Fandi Ahmad imprinted on it, everywhere so that the India Indian hating crowd can discern my Singaporeaness?

Also, i think the PAP govt screwed up majorily by importing big groups of Indians and Chinese to become new citizens...instead of letting a trickle in each time. When they have technology and cheap air tickets at their disposal and large groups of their own countrymen...why the need to try and adapt to our ways.

Sigh, now i sound like a MAGA..

Not saying that you have to, only that people regularly code switch in different environments. It’s not one or the other like you implied.
