I lived two yrs in KL, just sold the condo at Tamah Seputeh,
tell me how you compare singapore with KL?? KLCC, mega mall, bukit
bintang, jalan pertaling are no difference from any cities, but try
raising a child in KL.
just a matter of following textbook and economists' recommendation.
Singapore in the 50s, 60s, 70s, is just riding with the
after-war-world 2 economic boom experienced by many
countries.
NKF is indeed a big lesson for singaporean and it just remind us
that our society is by no mean better than any other societies in
the region. we have our life style, and misconception about other
societies? there will always be. If you have travelled as widely as
you claim, why don't you show some comparisons about the different
societies in the region, anything singapore can learn and do
better?
Beijing and Shanghai are two very different cities and even the
ppl there think very differently! How can KL and Japan (tokyo,
kagoshima or Sapporo) be not much different??
If you choose to look only at the misgivings, ill treatment or
whatever bad experience you have had in singapore, you will only
see the bad things about singapore and you WILL have the
misconception that everything outside is better. Then you are blind
to the beautiful world. Flowers are not of the same colour, trees
are not of the same heights, birds don't sing the same tune, cities
cannot be "not very much different", ppl cannot be the same!!
don't need to repeat yrself, just speak the same language as we do
here. "ya" does not mean "you" here. We speak singlish but you gong
angmoh, don't blame us for catching no balls.
Open your heart and your eyes will be opened, then you will enjoy
wherever you go. Good luck!
