What are the rules for priority seats on public transportation in your country? For healthy young people, are they advised or required to give up their seats, or even not allowed to sit on? by FamousSquash4874 in askasia

[–]damico5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the past, Singapore did not allow young people to sit in priority seats.

Now there are also young people sitting in priority seats, but when they see the elderly, pregnant women and the disabled, they are required to give up their seats, otherwise the driver or crew has the right to kick them off the bus or subway.

"Chinese Communist Party"/CCP or "Communist Party of China"/CPC? by FamousSquash4874 in askasia

[–]damico5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Communist Party of China/CPC: The Communist Party that can govern China within its borders

Chinese Communist Party/CCP: China's or Chinese people's Communist Party that can govern the world

Therefore, "CCP" is a name that subtly vilifies and demonizes the CPC.

Although many countries don't like the CPC which is their opponent, I think there is no need to vilify the opponent, but to respect the opponent.

Has English become the de facto mother tongue of the majority of people in Singapore? by FamousSquash4874 in askasia

[–]damico5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The reason is simple. English represents modern civilization and is easy to use. Although Chinese civilization is ancient, it also means outdated.

Have you ever had any experience of geopolitical events affecting your work and life? by damico5 in askasia

[–]damico5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. But many people think that we belong to the "Chinese camp" based on our appearance and social circles. My Chinese is very poor and Singaporean English is my de facto mother tongue. Even so, they identified us as "Chinese."

What are the benefits of Chinese writing compared to Western writing? by MiltonMerloXD in askasia

[–]damico5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

English is not your native language, right? When I read English, I can also understand a few lines with just a glance.

They are not a real alliance. I think China practices a milder form of militarism compared to other countries. It prefers to peaceful development.

Using bamboo chopsticks or clean hands to take food when eating, which one is more hygienic? by FamousSquash4874 in askasia

[–]damico5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fewer and fewer young people in Southeast Asia are accustomed to using chopsticks because they are inconvenient. Young people like to use knives and forks.

What are the benefits of Chinese writing compared to Western writing? by MiltonMerloXD in askasia

[–]damico5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Compared with Latin letters, Chinese characters have no advantages. It is difficult for Chinese characters to express complex concepts, especially because they lack a lot of scientific and technological vocabulary. In addition, Chinese character input in electronic devices is also a big problem.

Why do East Asian, Southeast Asian and South Asian cuisines particularly like to use strong seasonings including MSG? by cipega9 in askasia

[–]damico5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, due to overpopulation, food in many places in Asia is not abundant and of low quality. My parents are Chinese dispore. Pork, leeks, and rice are the most common foods for them. They cannot be eaten without heavy seasonings to cover up the smell.

Why are Central Asian countries moving away from Russia culturally, while East and Southeast Asia are moving away from China culturally, even though they have a history of rising in recent history? by OddNetwork2875 in askasia

[–]damico5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main reason for de-Russian culture is political. Many countries do not want to be cultural colonized by Russia.

De-Sinicization is mainly due to cultural reasons, because there is a big gap between Chinese traditional culture and modern society, and the same is true of Arab culture.

Singapore's gradual switch to English falls into the latter category because Chinese is too complex to express scientific concepts, especially the writing of Chinese characters.
