@Halal, since you're a Christian, you should know the verse, "Avoid foolish squabbles...." I think it's in one of Timothy's epistles.
Hmm, why do you give yourself a nickname Halal since you're not required to eat Halal food, unless you're forced to, like me, whenever i visit the canteen in my office building. Yes, I'm still unhappy that the caterer didn't bother to build separate kitchens to cater to the varied needs of the lunch crowds. I think there's nothing wrong with being unhappy about having to eat chicken char siew, cos I still prefer pork char siew. The caterer should be sensitive to the needs of non-Muslims too right? Your line, "BTW is most food in Singapore are sensitive to pork and beef due to its multi-racial and religious background. " Not sure if it's a question or a statement, but if it were a statement, I'd like to say, you're wrong. "Most food"? You sure? I see so many Chinese food stalls and restaurants in Singapore that use pork and lard. That's why Singapore has "multi-racial harmony", right? We respect the Muslims' need for Halal food, and they respect our need to have our pork and lard. Also, the last I checked, "moslem" and "Koran" are not offensive terms. I'm not sure where you got that information from. Care to share the source? As for pure Chinese and ships and stuff, so you meant that after 1900s, the ships carried Chinese women right? So how could you tell for sure how many % are "pure" Chinese etc? Did you conduct an island-wide survey or something? Then again, as I've mentioned before, history was never my best subject.

@wonton, tsk tsk tsk. Here we go again ah! But I guess when one's older, he/she's more able to separate online persona from real life. I guess you're one of those people. Hiaks. Me, I'm half-half.
