China/Japan/Korea history and European history are very fascinating if you bother to study them.
Even the history of other Southeast Asian countries is interesting.
Sinkieland's history? Worthless and superficial.
Don't believe me? Lemme summarize for you, in a roughly chronological order:
1. Sang Nila Utama discovered a lion (yeah right
)! Hence the name Singa-pura!
2. Famous Freemason Sir Stamford Raffles landed in Singapore in 1819! Tricked the Malay chiefs with contractual legalese/political strongarming, and the island became the latest colony bitch of the British Empire!
3. (...zzzz.... all the way till the early 1940s)
4. OMG! The Japs have invaded! They backdoor through Sentosa! British surrendered and fled!
5. Jap occupation very tough, many could only eat sweet potato and tree bark. Still, there are others who work for the Kempeitai, and prospered...
6. Japs lost WW2! British colonial masters came back!
7. Local Sinkies pissed off with ang mo rule, Lim Yew Hock the British poodle-in-charge vs bad commie insurgents! Hock Lee bus riots!
8. LKY entered the scene! Jailed troublemakers (read: rivals and intellectuals). Operation ColdStore!
9. Joined, then got kicked out of Malaysia! Boo hoo! LKY iz sad on national tv!
10. PAP rules, opposition drools, god bless the exceptional Lees for MRT, Changi Airport, HDB, NDP, F1, Goal 2010, Newater, malls, condos and casinos. And everyone lived happily ever after. The end.
