Social aspect wise the "close minded" ones usually triumph over the "open minded".
We already had a pack of "close minded" beings running on top of our country. That's one living example.
Anyway i would nv regard this term without the open inverted commas.
Instead i always categorize them as narrow minded.

I guess ur snapping on the wrong wire. It's base on how individually view upon other's character.
What i pointed isnt only entirely conservative.

Hm.. Since you know it would invite political debates then i wouldn't wana state the point.
You should be more aware of y i categorize it under "close minded" rather then conservative.
Read the newspaper and u'll get an insight on how u term conservative or "close minded" in their very deeds.

What u mention is partially true.
Though chinese still posses leading qualities in thinking. But malaysian and Singaporeans shares the same attitude and moral education. Even though chinese but they are far behind China and Taiwan chinese. Yup to be sad it's on the scale as ignorant. That's y u see "Ang Moh" despising on our pressence. Don't believe ? Check out how the kids in the society compare in China/taiwan and Singapore/Malaysia. Ever seen a kid screaming on top of his voice in public in china/taiwan like a monkey being in the proccess of slaughtering? If it's some rural or kampung place it's hard to blame. But in cities u catch that alot in malaysia/singapore. "We" already regard that as a "common scene" in the society.
I do not believe in being 3rd class minded beings or anything lower then that. I simply regard it as being ignorant.
What your "Ang Moh" Prof see was actually what dated back before the 80s of China/taiwan. Chinese in these country had advance so fast that we cant even believe that malaysian/singaporeans chinese is indeed from the same race. And seriously.. i nv hold on to westerner's words. They are just hypocrites who had an aim to talk u into something else. Of course we do not share passion in learning how to persuade countries to have nuclears and also promotes to sell nuclear to these countries. This is what westerners being doing for years.

Nopes i juz don't believe in them that's all. I'll always weigh and see what they say before finalizing my judgement. I won't just simply think that something that these westerner made "written down" must be fact.
I enjoy mixing my critizing and truth spinning in between. Like having chocolate and lemonade at the same time but not mixing it together and having it at once. I don't tease or joke. I'm a failure in that ^.^

When opening a debate or discussion. U've got to accept the downside or upside of the subject. Everyone is entitled to revive something that had been closed instead of being stagnant to one part of the topic entirely. What i notice is lyn dude usually doesnt tolerate such actions and think it's forbidden and absolute zero tolerance for such grp and call them flammers. This already made whatever open discussion to be close instead of open. It's same as saying given freedom to everyone but with rules. Also same like the flyers floating around in the dustbin mentioning UNLIMITED BROADBAND but with Quota in mini letters.
