Drugs = Social Integration

I'm supposed to be doing an analysis of an article on legalizing a regulated retailing of soft drugs. I think Singapore shouldn't begin to think of doing such a thing. First, it's against the values of the conservative majority so cannot. Second, we wouldn't have been the first to do such a thing (Amsterdam first, I think) so no point doing.. no brownie points to score. Third, changing how drugs are being circulated now will affect the tenous racial balance in Singapore. How so? Allow me to explain.

Drugs, all manner of them, play a really big part in racial integration. The Chinese, the Indians and the Malays are all part of this huge network of suppliers and consumers, it really is heartwarming to see. No addict is going to discriminate against his fellow addicts of other races. My needle is your needle dude. My candle is your candle.

Amazing stuff.

Anyway, the entire thing is seemless. All the races play a crucial part in the drug economy. The Chinese, they import the drugs stuffed in their pig lorries, making sure to drive through customs that are manned by the Malay policemen. They pass the drugs to be trafficked by Indians, who then spend the money to drink (contributing to the GDP). And the Malays refuse to be left behind and come in as consumers, spending loads of stolen parents' cash just to be a part of the whole economy of things.

And they said that the Malays aren't doing their part for the economy. Melayu boleh.

Kidding, I'm kidding.

No but really, I'm happy that the number of drug abusers among the Malays have dropped over the last 2 years mainly due from heavy support by our VGOs and Welfare Organisations. Hope to not see a Malay version of that anti-drug ah beng gangster advertisement.
