Treat foreigners with respect

This is a letter to Straits Times Forum page, published today, by Mr Thomas Hwang.

I guess Singaporeans need to realise that we were once all foreigners, just that our forefathers happened to come to Singapore earlier than others, and thus we are Singaporeans while others are not. Yet an immigrant nation needs to remember that we are made up of immigrants, and thus we must be willing to remain open to immigrants as they come and go, just as we come and go. At the end of the day, we are all human beings working hard towards fulfilling our own goals and dreams.
