Politics is dirty. And international geopolitics even dirtier. No country will surrender its #1 status without a fight to the death - no morals involved. Might is right. And the Trump admin is pushing it to the limit.

The best already left for Vancouver prior to 1997. The current hollowing out is because the mainland cities have caught up in terms of entertainment, infrastructure, food, cost differential, convenient rail network.

The difference is huge between Sg and M'sia if you go outside JB to Muar, Port Dickson, Mersing, Kuantan... but the perennial Causeway and 2nd Link jam is a bottleneck, and jiuhu don't have high-speed rail

192 member states vs the US. Who will eventually win? Even a rogue superpower cannot overcome the will of 7.7 billion people

Israel is now a pariah state. Singapore is seen as the Israel of South East Asia, for good reasons.

Actually, projections in the mid-80s had Japan's GDP overtaking the US by early '90s based on its manufacturing prowess (esp cars) and its status as the world's #1 exporter. Not too different from China today. As for China, foreign companies are still coming to China, starting joint ventures...

As for stirring shit, the US is the #1 shit-stirrer in the world - coups in S America, regime change in the Middle East, Pakistan and Iran, creating the Taliban in Afghanistan, supportiing Israel in its ongoing genocide and state terrorism, funding Xinjiang separatist-terrorists, engineering the...

That's how naive the ACS here are. Any rival or competitor that is about to match or overtake the US is viewed as 'belligerent' or 'hostile'. Remember the Plaza Accord in the '80s when Japan was about to become #1? That sent Japan into a tailspin for 30 years? The US only close one eye if the...

Wrong analogy. Malaysia is more democratic than Singapore - how many times has the federal government changed since its independence? How many times for Singapore? Maybe mixing with jiuhu will make us more democratic (we can hope). What's doing Singapore in is not communism or socialism. It's a...

Shenzhen is to HK what JB is to Singapore. Nowadays HKers go to Shenzhen to shop and eat and then fan out from there to other cities on the high-speed rail. HK has lost out in term of cost, variety, infrastructure and size. Let this be a lesson for Singapore. We'll go the way of HK if the govt...

Hasbara propaganda, as usual. Samsters are so naiive.

That's your definition. Not the definition of millions of Muslims or even scholars in more liberal Muslim nations. Wrong. Zionist terrorism in the Middle East predated the founding of the CCP. 20th century Islamic terrorism is merely an offshoot arising from the violent founding of Israel...

Kudos to the Thais.:thumbsup: Thailand is the only nation not to have been colonized by the Europeans, and the lack of colonial mentality showed here.

So you have confirmed my observation. Not all Islamic countries/societies force their Muslim practitioners to wear the hijab or pray 5x a day or fast. Turkey is a good example. Even in Malaysia you see many artistes not wearing the hijab. Hijab is not compulsory in Sinkieland. 3/4 of my Malay...

Sandhurst. Rizpekt. Can't say the same about our paper generals.

Both Jews and Arabs are Semites - they belong to the Semitic race (not the Ashkenazi Jews though)... So, technically an anti-Semite is someone who hates both Jews and Arabs, and Arabs can't be anti-Semitic, just as Jews can't be anti-Semitic. But the Zionists have appropriated the word...
