What does this tell you? Singapore is not special. Malaysians made Singapore. People should stop putting down Malaysia and Malaysians. Even today, countless "Singaporean" companies (e.g. Grab), politicians, prominent figures, sportspeople, are from Malaysia. Singapore, past and present, is NOTHING without Malaysia and Malaysians.

Damn almost all are natural born genius/leaders

Malaysian really get stuck with the shittiest rotten ppl lol

Lucky them, all went there to form a better place

Ah another hating sg in disguised tered padahal suruh ppl jilat sinkie

I realised malaysian that build sg since 50 years ago

Singapore was part of Malaysia before separation so ofcos they were all Malaysians before that.

evsn my father after spm in 1970s..go to work.and build buildings there

You do know that it means we lost our talent to Singapore since 1963? Is that something to be proud about?

Malaysia bila?

Always say religion and race laa

At the end talk saya action takde ...at the end no important

it was the singaporean that made singapore the way they are today
what does the malaysian do for themselves

Nice,

well sinjiapo back then is part of malaya.

our politician is so good at doing public perception work until so many people kena con, and continue kena con forget about real issue.

continue to rant about mundane things like racial stuff, boikot, who is whos cousin, why ekonomi bad, while the clever and intelligent continue to make money.

that's why got "Malaysian Malaysia"...

they are nothing if didnt go to sg
so now u know which administration got problem

kek syok sendiri claim macam indon thread..
they can be from malaysia, but they were never trained to think, work and persevere like a Malaysian.

they were indoctrinated by LKY as a singaporean

Singapore is 2nd Israel? Occupier controlled?

Singapore is already something when they can attract all the talents.

It is more like Malaysia becoming irrelevant due to its so-called something.

Without Singapore, you won't see these people on history book.

It tells me that multiracial without racist policy will make a country great

You look to the past if youre past your prime and your best days are behind you. What you want to do is look to the future and plan on how you want to get there.

Ayam notice ts just baiting. He just want pipu to talk shit on malaysia and sing high praise to sinkapork

majulah singkie

good job malusia. menangis la, bukannya orang malusia nak tukar mentality pun. asal oren kito

They left malaysia cox of racists leaders.

End up creating successful country.

Syukur

Palestine can also be successful like singapore when assimilate with jew ..

Owai.. really

What is there to see and say? This is kinda self-explanatory
Inb4 padan muka MY

sohai only try to differentiate between Malaysians and Singaporeans. Even though they are essentially the same Chinese people who migrated from China, sharing a common history and culture. The primary differences lie in their respective governing and social environments.

The unwritten constitutions of the PAP (People's Action Party) is to establish a safe haven for nons in Singapore, hence Malaysians find it relatively easy to obtain citizenship there.

Sohai strawberry gens who do not read and inhibit narrow mindset will try to distinguish these two groups. Current distinctions are artificially created by their respective social environment; lingo such as slangs and word choices to emphasize individualism, allowing each of them to identify as either Singaporeans or Malaysians.

These two countries' Chinese populations are among the most similar groups, separated only by international borders. They share more similarities than even North and South Koreans.

Thanks for listing down Malaysia success case in export..

As in exporting talent

Malaysia will NEVER move forward with the ketuanan tongkat mindset

Never mind moving forward, falling behind is more like the worry now

Facts!

Everyday R&R looking for handouts

u think majority of talents who powered sg economy come from where?

mehresia buang talent, sg ambik. kalau cakap bodo ko marah pulak

done claim

1.86 million Malaysians who have migrated overseas
1.13 million in Singapore

KUALA LUMPUR – A total of 1.13 million out of 1.86 million Malaysians who have migrated overseas are residing in Singapore as at 2022, said Human Resources Minister V. Sivakumar.

majority is the problem here. What is there to say.

water is wet.

and now boycott this and that... termasuk Zus... our nation how to success...

btw, Grab belongs to who now? Singapore or Malaysia?

no one move to komunisland except cp?

We still going backwards ,plus lagi mau all nons become malay
Still jiggle race topic

How to improve?

Singapore is the real Malaysia.
Malaysia is damn lousy copy of the DvD9 of Singapore.

And they all make a better version of Malaysia

TS jealousy is real
Malaysian in born capability is as good as Singaporean

It is the system that made the difference. Fulfilling full potential is the key

If all of them still In Malaysia, and Singapore still part of Malaysia

We either become South Africa, or , become like Hong Kong with china

I would say we would become like South Africa

Ketuanan Melayu too strong

kayacrab or bengm2019 u prefer.
indirect or direct?

Both can gtfo for all I care

notice that most of them are nons?

and shouting "It was Malaysians that made Singapore" doesnt make ringgit in your pocket to swell 3 times bigger

hksgmy knows many marehsian top loktor there?

most of them are nons
thats why SG is advanced

your post makes sense
marehsian prime was back then

Yes. Most of my professors when I was doing my MMed were from Malaysia. Brilliant chaps. Really inspired me to reach for the stars - in the sense that "if they can do it, there's no reason why I can't".

Realistically, does anyone believe that the majority will give up the idea of Ketuanan Melayu and the benefits that come from the racist policies?

Any politician who even dares to bring up the matter for mere discussion will be committing politicial suicide.

Those of you still staying in Malaysia - what are you hoping will change tomorrow, a year from now, 5 years, 10 years?

Where’s Lim Kuan Yew?

singapore is a developed version of malaysia if govern by the right people. that's it

Batu Pahat since he’s sepu sepu pu Lim Kit Siang 😝

Not only the governance. Look at the mentality of the ppl here. So entitled. Any debate will yield bumi ini milik siapa.

Majority of Malaysians only want ketuanan @ RM5 = USD1

Malaysia encourages brain drain, so easier to control the dungus. More than half of my ex colleagues are all Malaysian converts.

Singapore is what Malaysia could have been if our aspirations were different.

hard to say. If sinkie never left, parliament would have been more evenly balanced with LKY leading a more effective non-Malaya group including sabah & sarawak MPs

maybe 3S + DAP + Gerakan could have been better at blocking BN's excesses.

Maybank is founded by Singapore. U blow?

Kecian them eat their food.
Msia food the bext

Malaysia have too many to strawberries politician old and young , all the same !

Singapore have one and one objective and that’s to compete with Titans county , F all strawberries

Malaysia true potential is reflected on Singapore. We can be a powerhouse, wayyyy better than South Korea if practice Meritocracy.

Can you imagine we have the possibility to have stuff and brands like LG & Samsung?

cukur Singapore dipisahkan.

kalau x ramai lagi yang mereka pegang

done plotek

So you mean.. Singapore leadership were pendatang in Singaporean's perspective?

Looking at where they are now, well I don't think they mind about that at all.

Shu! 🤫

ip man beats 10 men
and
lky ko pm 1 to pmx

Conclusion : The good and useful Malaysian becomes sSingaporean

but now some hypocrite hating on marehsian
saying marehsian contributed ntg but keep stealing their lunch

most of them are those who cant make it ... the ones that are successful, welcome marehsians.

Is marehsia abandon the ship

Ong Eng Guan

First mayor of singapore

1957 december



Benedict Hon Sui Sen DUBC (Chinese: 韩瑞生; pinyin: Hán Ruìshēng; 16 April 1916 – 14 October 1983) was a Singaporean politician who served as Minister for Finance between 1970 and 1983. A member of the governing People's Action Party (PAP), he was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Havelock between 1970 and 1983.


In 1970, Hon succeeded Goh Keng Swee as Minister of Finance and served in that capacity for 13 years until 1983.


In a letter by his daughter Joan many years after Hon's passing, Joan wrote that

********************************

Hon was drawing a salary of $10,000 per month at DBS before he became a Minister, a job that paid him $3,000 instead; by 1983 when he died, Hon received $14,000 in total per month.
********************************


In 1982, Hon was named the Economic Minister of the Year by Euromoney.


********************************
As Singapore's Finance Minister, Hon established the Bases Economic Conversion Department to oversee the conversion and commercialisation of lands and facilities that had been left behind by the British military following their withdrawal in 1968.


********************************

Hon also played a major role in the development of Singapore's tourism industry, beginning with the transformation of Pulau Blakang Mati, a previously fortified island off the southern coast of Singapore, into a resort destination under the new appellation of

Sentosa Island.

Hon was appointed as the chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) between 1971 and 1980.

**************************************************



He studied at Confucian Private Secondary School, Kuala Lumpur



Singapore celebrated Mr Ong Pang Boon’s 90th birthday at the Parliament House on 23 March 2019. About a hundred guests including members of the People's Action Party (PAP), former Members of Parliament (MP), and friends of Mr Ong were present at the happy occasion.

This year marks the 65th year of the PAP since its founding in 1954. It is also the 60th year of the first PAP Government in 1959, and the Singapore Bicentennial since the founding of Singapore in 1819 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. This is a very special anniversary year for Singapore, and one that is fitting of Mr Ong’s birthday celebrations.

Here is our tribute to Mr Ong Pang Boon.


Mr Ong has been serving as a Governor of Hong Leong Foundation since his appointment in 1985. He is known to the staff and peers of Hong Leong Group Singapore as a soft-spoken, humble and considerate man with a ready smile and golden words of wisdom.

Under his guidance, Hong Leong Foundation, the charity arm of Hong Leong Group Singapore, has been a long-time supporter of various causes including institutes of learning and educational initiatives, the arts and heritage, as well as the elderly and the needy.

The difference is, those hypocrite in SG is the Minority

In Malaysia, these hypocrite is close to Majority.

Most Singaporeans we can trace their roots to MY.

Just recently some of them I asked their Deepavali holiday plans were and they said 'I'm going MY to see my parents/grandparents'. I was pretty surprised as it turns out many came SG when young and hence the absence of Malay language knowledge. Otherwise, it's just a matter of where (country) they were brough up.

Waiting for a day someone from PUAS say Lim Guan Eng is related because there is ONG ENG GUAN and LOH NGIAN LIM in the same paper, both combined made LIM GUAN ENG in Malaysia

Instead of posting this, Why don't we see the reason why Msia had a brain drain? Why gov don't want to overcome it?

Singapore is what malaysia would become if progressive.

too bad Singapore is not interest in any Malaysia land grabbing, as Singapore is not Israel...

They learned bahasa melayu in their school actually.

Nak claim dah...

Hahaha...

How come the list never mention the founding father himself, Lee Kuan Yew? Oh...very inconvenient fact: Lee Kuan Yew was born in Singapore.

And these ministers were led by Lee Kuan Yew! They took orders from Lee! All were followers under the guidance of the world-famous leader Lee! Lee laid the foundation of newly-independent Singapore. Subsequent Prime Ministers Goh Chok Tong and Lee Hsien Loong implemented various nation-building policies and led the transformation of Singapore to where it is today.

This list is selective at best...only talk about those born in Malaysia....if we just select Sri Lankan-born minsters who served in Singapore cabinet, then Singapore was built by the Sri Lankans!

Some of us who read the list already can feel "proud" about Singapore's success despite the state of Malaysia's current downtrodden economy and politics in shambles?

Just like the 350,000 million Malaysians who cross Causeway daily to work as labourers, security guards, F&B staff, and 1.13 million Malaysians who migrated to Singapore can claim to have "built Singapore".

Maybe can also throw in the hundreds of thousands of Indian construction workers, Filipino call centre workers and domestic helpers, mainland Chinese sales staff and waiters into the grand mix too....all are part of Singapore's phenomenal success! Majullah Singapura!

WTF malaysia and Singapore were meant to be together until some short sighted idiots decided to kick SG together with sizeable number of fine political talents out cuz some of racial differences. The Dumbest mistake ever made by country somemore newly independent.
The unity of both land might potentially create another KR or JPN if not even better since both strategetic location, resource rich and talented people. looking at history, it just piss me off. maybe it wouldnt be call ringgit probably USD To MYD is 1.35. MYD to Yen is 111.52 and MYD to Thai Baht is 26.35 and can travel to 192 countries w/o Visa. THIS LESSON IS TO PAINFUL TO FORGET, CHOOSE THE RIGHT LEADER. CHOOSE DUMB PPLE U GET IDIOCRACY.

Not traitor meh?

Now we became indon, claiming this and that...

this is what I said before, LKY choose the easy path instead leading nons+broneo against Malay agenda, the real war

Not his war to fight… at least not without countless casualties in the form of the lives of the Nons. It’s good that he packed up and left when he did.

if he is true good leader he should have no fear, but apparently he is not

That's your opinion to which you're certainly entitled.

Just note that countless other world leaders and countries would disagree with you, and in my opinion (to which I'm certainly similarly entitled), with good reason.

Tapi orang singapok tk boleh masuk syurga.

I realised all chinese in Malaysia comes from China. We are China!!!

On serious note:
Stop this kind of bullshit please, history never ends if you keep digging. End up we all come from Europe.

i would not call it fear, more that he was only concerned with Singapore's national interest.

He promised heaven & earth to convince S&S to join Malaysia because it was in Singapore's interest to be part of a bigger country. Then when things became difficult with UMNO and Singapore could survive in its own, they became collateral damage who were no longer useful to Singapore.

But any idea why these special people didn't remain in Malaysia?

can see current malaysia system purposely put a speed limiter from letting it go higher, so the helang can profit from it ?

because they knew Malaysia in decades later is beyond saving...

According to his memoirs, he wasn’t convinced that Singapore could survive on its own - but he’d rather take a stab at it and make his own destiny than to rely on someone else to make it for him and Singapore.
