You should be grateful the Chinese came to Singapore and upgraded the lives of the Malays here.
See, these good Malays love LKY so much!
Malay girl happy she's a Singaporean instead of Malaysian

Definitely proud to be Singaporean. I'm proud of how far our country has come. A country with no natural resources yet we became one of the world’s leading financial centers. Our government is stable and might I say, honest too. Our country is safe, clean and transport is efficient (well, most of the times..).
Another reason that isn't so common would be that I feel that I'm treated with more respect by Singaporean Malays compared to Malaysian Malays. You see, I am a non-hijabi not-so-religious Muslim girl, and I wear short sleeve blouses and short skirts sometimes. I have often been given dirty looks by Malays in Malaysia, especially outside the city, and its not such a great feeling. Here is an example: Me and my mother went to visit a surau (a room for muslims to do prayers in) in one of the lesser known shopping malls in JB. As you know, I don't want to wear the hijab. When I was inside the surau, I received some dirty looks from the older Malay women. As I was exiting the room, I heard one of the Malay ladies said ‘solat tapi tak nak pakai tudung’ which loosely means ‘she prays yet she doesn't want to wear a hijab’. I felt embarrassed of course, and I felt bad because my mom probably heard it. These days, I usually try not to visit the surau as I don't want to relive that experience again. In Singapore, non-hijabi Malay women are thankfully much more commonly seen, hence I don't receive any bad treatment from other muslims, which is one of the reasons I'd rather stay as a Singaporean Malay instead of being a Malaysian.
Malays are the privileged ruling PAP elite in Singapore!

These are pretends.
The real deal is in the land seizures. Prevent malay from getting wealthy and powerful, scatter them to deny a constituency.
Malays love LKY, and these Malays prove it!
Malys in Sg are not only powerful, they are the ruling PAP elite!
