| being a singaporean, i have to sadly agree with you on the points. it's quite bad enough that they keep claiming that they're using the best technology when in fact, they just typically bought it from somewhere else. It has a quite a bad propaganda which you guys can't even tell from it unless you really think deep about it. Cars here are so expensive also. On top of that, you need to pay more to "own" the car. For some cars, that cert cost even more than the car itself. Not only that, we have road tax, erp, parking fee, etc, etc whatnot. Income inequality is quite prominent, even though they claim that they have high GDP. Of course you can say your country has it worst...but hell, you wouldn't claim your country has no beggar if there's someone in the streets picking up cardboard and begging for money, would you? last but not the least, the population is so dam high and i think like...40% are foreigners? I can't tell who are foreigners anymore. There are more things that I can think of, but I just end it here in case I get arrested for saying "wrong" things |
But 200 years ago the island had about 1,000 people living there, almost all of them indigenous Malays. Current population of 5.5 million, mostly ethnic Chinese, likely does not have very many who would be descended from them?
