Thoughts that linger in the mind of a Singaporean teen.

so, i just came back from m'sia and i would love to blog about it.

ok, the first thing i noticed about malaysia, is that their citizens are very patriotic. they love malaysia, and they're not afraid to show it off. i mean, they even have the national flag painted on kindergartens and child care centres. respect. if only singaporeans loved the country more than they loved money. but that's the only good point for the country. let me begin on their bad points.

their roads are like shit. there are bumps everywhere. their highways have no street lights. wtf. and their cars have very very funny license plate numbers(WHYxxxx, BFFxxxx, MAYxxxx, LIMOxxxx etc etc). the traffic in penang is equal to pure shit. the roads are damn narrow and there are tonnes of cars, and as long as you are driving a singaporean car, you should be prepared to have shit thrown at your face. you'll get bullied alot by other drivers. they'll honk at you for the smallest mistakes. and apparrently, malaysia is a state that obviously does not welcome indians and chinese. quite sad actually. the chinese are not allowed to own property at certain areas. yeap - unbelievable. the malay food there is cold, and the chinese food there is dirty. and dont get me started on security. firstly, the cops there are corrupted, so if shit happens to you, dont bother looking for cops for help. secondly, wherever you go, you'll never feel a sense of security. you can never leave your car alone without the lingering fear of having it towed away or having your windscreen smashed. very scary indeed. really wanna thank God for blessing us with journey mercies and safety throughout the whole trip. i would also like to point out that when you're in ipoh, the cars there are purely OLD-SKOOL. damn cool. very cool place and a very unique sight. this really tells me that in m'sia, the people dont really depend on money for happiness, but they settle for what they have, and they live happily with it. unlike the typical money-hungry singaporean.

so there you go, the differences between malaysians and singaporeans. well, some of it at least.
