i dont like when i read this

It would be unfair to put the blame entirely on Hong Kong though, unlike Singapore who borders less-advanced states, Hong Kong's close proximity to Taiwan and South Korea, two of the world's leading IT manufacturing centers, and Japan, one of the world's most high-tech nation, means competition is much more stiffer than its Southeast Asian rivals.

we already have a fair share of dictator....the iron fist....even that still sucks compare to singapore

Canto ppl....haiz. They just cant learn to live with others. Heck, they cant even speak proper english despite being ruled by the british for so long, compare that to India. Just look at those chinatown in all western countries, they still speak canto and refuse to mingle with the rest.

Are you sure they are the 2nd generation and not the 3rd or 4th generation?

Thats bcoz you dont travel. Stop hiding in your shell and travel once in a while.

Why should malaysian chinese speaks cantonese?

Just observe those HK establishment opening their outlet in Malaysia. They insist their staff to speak Cantonese. This happens in Shenzen too. Even Japanese and Korean dont do this kind of staff when opening their outlet in foreign land.

I agree if its just the greeting part. But to force their staff and customer to speak their dialect is an insult.

Will you accept if a japanese restaurant in malaysia start insisting their staff to ony converse in japanese to their customer? It just doesnt sounds right
