Gazelle SG Anybody watch discovery last night? 2 things that strikes me. LKY is AKA Harry Lee The name Malaysia is a combination of Malaya and Singapore. MalaySIa
jxjoox SG You wouldn't believe the logistic involve to change a country's name. Maybe they hope that by not changing back, Singapore still belongs to them
Gazelle SG no I didnt know.. but i think it was a very smart move to change his name because of the pro chinese anti british atmosphere during those days.
Gazelle SG Divorce lah, not kick out. but it is all for the good reasons isnt it?. damn it, the fighting those days really kick arse. No wonder our singapore government came down so hard on the 2 blogger with racist remarks.
meleagent SG Another little known fact: Dear Harry colluded with the Japs masters to save his own skin
Salman SG No lah, these invented the name Malaysia because it is Malaya plus other parts of Aisa such as Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak. LKY has always been Harry, don't you know? Harry's a great man.
Salman SG Singapore has no sia, so how can Malaysia be a combination of Malaya and Singapore. A true combination would have been Malaypore or Singaya or Malaysin.
Salman SG Why chop the si and rejoin with another 'a' at the back? I think a better way would be Malaypore. That waya, nobody would have mistaken it to be a combination of malaya and Singapore.
Gazelle SG Why Salman? A combination of salmon fish and human? half fish half man? be more creative lah.
