Not only here in Singapore,
but in all Malaysia,
:21:32
the Chinese represent over
a third of the population.
:21:35
Never tired to figure out
a thousand ways of making money,
:21:39
they are nonetheless famous
for their physical laziness.
:21:43
They don't swim, run,
jump, or play soccer.
:21:47
As the Chinese
don't waste their money,
:21:50
likewise, they don't waste
their energies,
:21:52
which they prefer
to use around the table
:21:54
or in bed.
:21:56
Between snacks, the Chinese
find the time to fill
:21:59
their houses with children,
legitimate and illegitimate.
:22:02
This guarantees a big bunch
of birthdays to celebrate
:22:05
with abundant meals.
:22:08
The Chinese celebrate
everything by eating:
:22:10
Religious and national
holidays, business,
:22:13
a competitor's failure,
:22:15
an averted danger, births,
:22:18
and even death.
:22:26
Here we're not allowed
to photograph.
:22:28
We had to force
the situation to show you
:22:30
Singapore's ''home of the dead''.
:22:34
All the terminally ill
end up dwelling here,
:22:37
in this tragic hotel
for the dying.
:22:40
The Chinese homes,
full with children,
:22:42
have no place for them.
:22:51
Down the streets,
their relatives,
:22:53
relaxed and confident,
wait for their funeral.
