"the superiority complex"

Today went for class outing. Woke up at 7.45( really early for me) and went to kallang to go to Bedok so that we could take a bus to ECP. Went to have breakfast and then went to ECP. Everyone cycled but i had to string my racket. I cant play with destroyed strings can I. So then i met Eileen at Paya Lebar then we walked form there to ECP and then wandered around finding the rest. We talked about all sorts of nonsense from politics to socio-economic issues to random stuff. There was bowling alley at ECP but everyone wanted to meet Zi Yun so we went to marina square to play bowling but the place was full so we just ended up eating at burger king. While waiting for the bowling guy to call, the girls were talking about their cookies and God Knows What and Mingle, colin and Yx were talking about WOW in chinese so i decided to leave with elieen and shermaine. I think the rest went to play bowling eventually.

Reading todays newpaper(The Straits Times), Eileen pointed out to me this article on the review page titled "Why the superiority complex?". It is a very interesting article i recommend everyone to read. Its basically an article written by a Malaysian journalist about us annoying Singaporeans and how we verbally attack the nearest Malaysian on how much better Singapore is everytime we cross the BRIDGE. Its also on how we fail to enjoy the basic freedoms they enjoy such as littering, smoking, chewing, laughing, smiling, flicking and eating hawker food that actually tastes good. The article basiclally takes a bash at Singapore and the stuff we pride ourselves on.

After reading the newspaper article and considering it was from a Malaysian newspaper( New Straits Time). The article probably helped the newspaper by showing its readers that it is a stout defender of Malaysia. In Malaysia there seems to be a simple rule in politics when it comes to Singapore. Anyone who attacks the Republic gains credibility as a stout defender of Malaysia. It was the same when Singapore's MM Lee Kuan Yew commented on Malaysia and Indonesia's ethnic Chinese minorities. Singapore was used as a whipping boy by Malaysian politicians to show their 'loyalty to Malaysia' and they naturally demanded an apology from MM Lee without taking into account the numerous occasions they used Singapore as a bashing board with us keeping mum.

The author probably failed to notice that even though we may be denied simple rights such as chewing and spitting it is for the benefit of the majority and he also probably failed to notice that we enjoy equal rights regardless of race or religion which is as much as I can say about Malaysia and their Bumiputeras. Ultimately we would all assumably be lying if we said we can live without Malaysia and they without us. When u think of Malaysia... If we ever find time to think of Malaysia (Yeah we're too busy enjoying our Beautiful, Green and Clean Singapore) . The first thing that comes to mind is, "isnt that the place with the fake stuff" which is as much as i can say about them...
