You should first change the mindset of the person who looked down on the Malays in the first place (LKY), the very natives of this country. Then you ram down this fact on tolerance on the pesky PRCs to accept the various cultures and practices of all the races here in Singapore...

Presidential hopeful Dr Tan Cheng Bock will champion multiracialism if he is elected.

Speaking on the sideline of a walkabout at Geylang Serai yesterday, Dr Tan told the media that, if multiculturalism is not emphasised, it will be taken for granted.
According to Dr Tan, multiculturalism is not limited to just the four races in Singapore but may include new citizens.
When asked by the media if this was possible given that the President can only act as advised by the Cabinet under the Constitution, Dr Tan said there were several ways of promoting multiculturalism without pursuing a policy agenda.
“Outside of the Constitution … I can champion causes, such as charities and sports. For me, I love football … Football is very important. Football gels us together. When you watch the Malaysia Cup or the recent matches in Singapore, you find that everybody is so engrossed, they shout as one voice. I think we must promote the multiracial element very strongly in our country.”
