I believe both Malaysians and Singaporeans would agree with you too, and I'm sure it is not any of our goals to try to 'squash' each other in any way.<BR/><BR/>I guess one reason why Singapore had problems with he hostin of events is due to the huge logistical nightmare that encompasses land restrictions. No doubt the night race would be the first, it would also mean that Singapore's roads in the city area would have to be shut down - quite a huge risk, and I'm waiting to see how things go.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps the only thing I believe we are competing for would be port traffic and shipping-related issues. As for kiasu-ism, I guess it just faded off into 'just another joke', or even to some people, one of the reasons Singapore is able to make its progress.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, great post, and I'll be back for more!

A...The points you stated are really good and valid. As a Singaporean myself, though we have a competitive working/studying environment here, I doubt the government's main aim is to compete with Malaysians in any way, I believe every country is doing that to each other. <BR/><BR/>If you're looking at casinos/integrated resorts, more and more countries (eg. Thailand, Taiwan) are in plans of doing one too, so are they competing with both Singapore and Malaysia? I seriously doubt so, instead they just want a bite on the amount of money casinos can bring to the country, and it's A LOT.<BR/><BR/>In any way, I believe the path Singapore and Malaysia takes are different. Singapore has no natural resources nor enough land, so we brunch out to service industries (e.g. airport, technological hubs) which does not require both of that. For Malaysia it's another case, there are resources and ample land, thus there are projects on farming (e.g. palm oil) too.<BR/><BR/>I believe for both countries to advance, the people have to kick away the thinking that we're just competing with each other, but instead, like what you've said, we're competing with the world, bringing more attention from the World to our small and insignificant South East Asia.<BR/><BR/>In fact if you think about, why Singapore is able to advance so fast is mainly because we're small and thus more manageable to govern.Joseph Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05370989881631671558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32927502.post-32194260229092934792008-04-19T19:20:00.000+08:002008-04-19T19:20:00.000+08:00hi curryeggnice of u to drop by. it may just work ...hi curryegg<BR/><BR/>nice of u to drop by. it may just work - these 2 countries. dont wanna sound political or pro anything, but act pak lah (malaysia's pm) has helped strengthen the relations a bit thru his administration :)<BR/><BR/>lancerlord<BR/>yup, quite a bit act - and i think on some matters, singapore has to resign to the fact that malaysia is unique by itself. hence, it positions itself in other areas that it can compete directly or indirectly :)<BR/><BR/>chuang<BR/>yes, that will be the best. there are already some progress within the 2 countries which is good - just imagine we combine 28m + 4.5m = 32.5m market share.. and if we add thailand even better. ppl need to realise we are too small to compete with each other :)<BR/><BR/>robo, <BR/>yes, meritocracy is the way to go! and i think if malaysia wants to go global, it needs to realise this - which it slowly is (but of course more can be done) :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08147376627075497777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32927502.post-9507250973351928482008-04-19T11:46:00.000+08:002008-04-19T11:46:00.000+08:00Yes, both country should work together.
