The first group consists of those who attended Chinese primary schools. We refer to them as “Chinese-educated”. They are often perceived as hardworking, quiet, gentle, and generally more interested in Chinese entertainment, media and pop culture. The second group includes those who attended Malay/English primary schools, and they are often seen as more opinionated and into Western culture. These are just stereotypes, but like any stereotype, there tends to be a grain of truth.
