Madman

That's what I'd call Dr Mahathir.

Singapore's always been his favourite scrape goat and now that the new PM has shown some sense of moderation, he looks at his successor as weak.

What's so weak about pondering the ramifications of a legal challange? This isn't just a chain-wire fence around your house - it's a bloody immigration checkpoint. Why on earth should Singapore splurge on a bridge between the causeway just because your side is downtrodden and dirty? Isn't maintanence on your end supposed to be from *your* staff?

When I was younger, my parents would often take the entire family across to Malaysia for self-drive holidays. I recall the MY side as being filled with old, dirty buildings and roads, with brilliantly inefficient staff. You'd have cars backed up 2 roads away and your staff would refuse to open other counters. Your staff were on coffeebreaks because we could see'em! You could TELL when you'd hit SG because the infrastructure and staff were markedly different. Cars would be processed faster, staff actually knuckled down and got their work done. And this is not because I am, myself, a Singaporean.

Yes, Singaporeans are fantastically logical when it comes to important things. I am PROUD to be Singaporean when it comes down to the crunch. You can take your stupid schems (which never got anywhere, anyways) and shove it up your ass.


Accept the fact that we're better at certain things and retire with grace!
