Star Wars in Singapore

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Kiasuism is what gives a Singaporean his power. It's an energy field created by all truly locally born Singaporeans. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the country together.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: It's your mother tongue. This is the language of a Chinese. Not as clumsy or as random as English, but a more elegant language for a more civilized age. For years, the Chinese speaking Singaporeans were the guardians of culture and root in the country. Before the dark times, before the Empire.

Darth Vader: Today will be a day long remembered. It has seen the death of Goh Keng Swee and will soon see the end of good politicians.

Yoda: Yes, a local's strength flows from the root. But beware of the new immigrant side. Anger, fear, aggression; the new immigrant side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight for job!

Darth Vader: I am your father. Now stop complaining about the public transport.

Padme: Gahmen, you’re breaking my heart! And you’re going down a path I cannot follow!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the opposition, not join them. You were to add one more scholar to the party, not leave it in darkness.

Yoda: Over importing new immigrants is the path to the dark side. Fear of the locals leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate… leads to suffering.
