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.
