Correct. That's why there are so many of them here. Just walked pass some cafes near my area in Eunos, there are so,so,so many of them out to watch the cricket match. I thought I was in India.
same at my area... the only downside is they like to picnic in open areas like below the mrt track and leave a bunch of trash after that... or in mrt they would run and rush in like phillipinos... and they smell bad too, for most of them... besides that they are fine, they mind their own business... in fact my neighbor is from india, they have non of the downside and i find them very friendly.... some richer ones especially the capitalist class are a bit sombong according to taxi drivers...

I m a Malay, working with SG company, been given the responsibility to manage/oversee the company projects abroad. If i m really that lazy, unmotivated and lowly educated, would the SG company dare to employ me in the first place? Just because of what race I am. Please do not generalize all Malay are the same. Statement like yours move me to go abroad working with Singaporean and other races. Just to let them and the world know that Malay can do well and fight equally on the same level too!!! Next time please consider when you thinking of making any statement. Don't judge the Malay because of what is happening in Malaysia. From your writing I know your frustration. I too am like you, ashamed of what is happening in Malaysia, but I will never judge and generalize just because of their colors. Shame on you.
no no, dont take it the wrong way... i think what he/she has said have some logic behind it... ntg to do with racism
lets analyze his/her statement:

If you are a malay Malaysian with a local malaysia degree and little(<5 years) /no experience and wanting the come to SG to work, I'm sorry to say that yr chances is more or less equivalent to ZERO! first of all malay or not, any1 with a local degree and no experience is at a disadvantage First yr not a PR or citizen which already put you at a disadvantage. Second yr non chinese and hence do not speak mandarin and that put's you even more to a disadvantage. same to us chinese, no pr is a bit hard and for so called banana like me, mandarin is a challenge although i speak other dialects Thirdly, our local Uni is not held in high regard by singaporean especially if yr a malay coz of the quota system and that puts you down at the bottom of the list alongside the other immigrants such as the Indian, Myanmar, and other 3rd world country people who come over to SG to find work. this is true, they have somekind of quota system when taking in people, not for w-s-e-pass but more applicable for pr approvals... for malays it is less as integration is thougher Fourthly, the perception here which is the same as in malaysia is that the malays in malaysia are lazy and unmotivated. So that puts you behind the indians, myanmar, thais etc. That would make yr chances of landing a job here more or less zero %. well, this happens in most sme/chinaman companies... for mncs they couldnt be bother unless most of the management/employees are chinaman minded... this leaves less options for a msia malay
having said all that.. i had met malaysian malays are over the world and majority of them are doing very well.. even without the help of the msian gov and even with the help of the msian gov it still shows that malays can excel, workhard and compete with the rest with some help... azrink is one of those malays, making it all the way to sg... if only more malays in msia are like that, too bad majority still believes the help from the government are god given, they continue to leach on it not knowing it is on the expense of others and one day it will stop.
probably they can learn from the malays in sg, although some of them dont excel too well academically they make it up by working hard and honest. the sg gov had provided a very conducive avenue for them, that's why you see a lot of grassroot gov servants are malays... enter sg, the customs, immigration, police and civil defense. instead of lepak, rempit, dadah they work hard with no corruption, the gov reward them well.
