> Singapore has also somehow maintained a supermajority Chinese population

It’s not really a secret that Singapore uses ethnicity based quotas when granting PR and citizenship to maintain their demographic composition.

Or be like Malaysia. They don't even bother to keep it a secret to maintain Malay governing power and unfair advantage.

Cheaper gas only for Muslim citizens, not Chinese/Indian citizens. A company must hire Malay Muslim no matter what. Plenty of other rules that favor an ethnicity.

I saw a post once from a white guy with a wife and two kids (I think also white) who was confused why he was having so much trouble getting Singaporean PR despite contributing so much to the economy.

Like bro... you are the wrong race, it's that simple, shouldn't be too hard to understand.

I'm not making a moral judgement on whether that's correct or not but it's just how it works

A filipino friend of mine moved to Australia after being denied PR in SG, mainly due his race.

As a white person, I’d probably never get PR too but I think it’s good that they maintain the current percentages, otherwise the country would turn unrecognizable like Germany or France.
