Malaysia vs Singapore
I just came back from Sentosa, Genting Singapore last week. Resort World Sentosa + Universal Studion is such a fascinating and nice place to enjoy. I dare to say it is even better than Hong Kong Disneyland despite its HOT weather.
If given a chance, I will go there next year again with carol when the roller coaster in Universal Studion reopen.
Honestly, I am not quite "shuang"(satisfy) with Singaporean due to their "kiasu", "arrogant", "kiasi", "black and white", "everything to law" attitude.
BUT , Here are some facts about Singapore and Malaysia.
Malaysia population > Singapore population 5 times
Malaysia civil servants > Singapore civil servants 20 times
Malaysia land > Singapore land 478times
However, Malaysia GDP 2010 (205 billion US) < Singapore GDP 2010 (210 billion US)
With this, earnings per Singaporean is far much higher than Malaysian.
I realize than there are countless of Malaysian (including my frenz) who are working in Singapore. Every year, countless of Malaysia "quality" elite export to Singapore(all other world) from Malaysia. On the other hand, every year countless of Indonesia "low skilled" pendatang asing import to our motherland.
I think this is the reason why it makes the fact about Malaysia vs Singapore.
Look at the world outside Malaysia. We cannot become only jaguh kampung, y Singapore boleh but Malaysia......??!!
I heard someone said that Singapore population is small so it is easy to manage. But, look at China?? Their country is the largest population in the world, but also one of the fastest economy growth.
Somehow, I still believe in Malaysia future. I love the people here, the food, the environment and of course the feeling. I still proud of telling ppl that myself is a malaysia whenever im outside malaysia.
Maybe, one day when i decide to migrate to other country, we are comparing Malaysia to Myanmar, not Singapore anymore.
