Comments from the article:
"I lived for many years in Singapore and Malaysia and met many expatriates who, while enjoying all the benefits of an expatriate lifestyle in very safe environments, thought themselves inherently superior to the people they referred to as "the locals". The expat wives were even worse, sitting round the pool all day moaning to one another about the maid, the driver, the gardener, the "locals". The British were, perhaps predictably, the worst. I couldn't stand them."
Most of them are like that lar.
What's the point of being sinkie? 2nd class in our own countries, go to their country still 2nd class.
