Freedom of Speech. Malaysia
Hahaha....According to the government, former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas's book titled My Story: Justice in the Wilderness has 19 key issues that warrant "further attention".
Malaysiakini found guilty, fined RM500,000, over readers’ comments left on their website. Then there are individuals charged with abuse of power for millions and billions who are walking free.
Crackhouse Comedy Club closed down.
Jocelyn Chia an American did a show in America and caused a fit here.
So much for freedom of speech....hehe..

Buying Power. Singapore

Affordable property. Malaysia
Affordable to who?? With the "strength" of the ringgit, we can't afford anything these days. Haha…92% of Singaporeans own their homes, 72% of Malaysians own their homes.)

Security. Singapore

Low taxes. Malaysia
Malaysia income tax: 0-30%, Singapore income tax: 0-22%. enuff said.

Workers rights. Singapore

Democracy. Malaysia
They vote, we vote. we have numerous corrupt politicians every election. And some are outright fighting for one race and one religion only. US came up with Donald Trump. UK shot their own foot by leaving the EU. Netherlands and Sweden have far-right parties which are xenophobic and racist. I’ll take SG anytime.

Public Transportation. Singapore

Personal transportation. Malaysia
What’s personal transportation? Car ownership?? Bicycles? COE is based on quota…SG car demand is high, which leads to very high COE in recent months there.
We are forced to buy cars because public transportation is in a mess, then forced to sit in cars for hours on end because of endless congestion. every 24 seconds, one person dies on the road. The economy and the environment suffers due to lost man-hours, and the amount of emissions from fuel consumption.

Racism and Ignorance. Tied
Hahaha…bumiputra rights already place one race above others in the constitution!

We should have other measurements that allow Malaysia to "win" Singapore.
Law and order: Malaysia (cos we can solve crimes real fast)
Assasination in KLIA. Victim does, murderers walk free because they were participating in gameshow.
Shaariibuugiin Altantuyaa Mongolian model bombed, elite bodyguards found guilty quickly.


Bribery/Corruption: Malaysia (cos we are just better)
from top to bottom, from politicians to civil servants to businessmen

Healthcare: Malaysia
Cos healthcare is cheaper in Malaysia than Singapore when all costs converted to USD. (Quality not included.)

Mobility of Skilled Talent: Malaysia
1.86 million of us already migrated overseas.
350,000 of us cross Causeway to work elsewhere.
Our skills are valued everywhere.

"Ease" of university admission.
Hey, We have more than 100 public and private universities here....Singapore has so few. (Quality not included)

Freedom of Speech
Article 10 Malaysian Constitution on Freedom of Speech guarantees Malaysian citizens the right to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of association.
Hahaha...you want to just talk about press freedom and journalists, and ignore the rest of Malaysians?? Why don't you debunk these:
Freedom of all citizens to express, not just journalists and their press freedom. freedom for comedians, former attorney generals, civil servants to express their beliefs. And there lies the paradox- the law actually curbs freedom of speech as evidenced from recent events:
not just what Tommy Thomas' book said,
but also Malaysiakini's RM500,000 fine for what its readers left on its website,
and also investigations into UARAM Coordinator Mohammad Alshatri,
Undi18 co-founder Tharma Pillai,
and activist Nashita Md Noor, editor-in-chief of the health news platform CodeBlue Boo Su Lyn during COVID-19,
The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily were suspended for three months when it ran reports into 1MDB.

Affordable property. Malaysia
The fact remains far more Singaporeans (92%) own their homes than Malaysians (76%). Debunk that too?
And their small HDBs in suburbs are worth more in value than any of our landed homes.
And price is not even the issue- Malaysian housing is plagued by far more basic problems: property prices that are now multiple times more than the annual household income, there is a shortage of affordable housing, affordable housing is located in areas that are far from urban centres and lacks basic infrastructure, and the ironical situation of 1.9 million unoccupied homes amidst all these problems!

Racism and Ignorance.
Hahah...yes Singapore has affirmative action, but for its minority race, not the majority race like Malaysia. And Malaysia's "affirmative action" has been ongoing for more than half a century with worsening results. Ask yourself honestly why. Not only is this enshrined in its constitution, but has extended to share ownership of businesses, and civil service jobs reserved for a certain race.
Singapore moved on from such policies long ago even if you insist on looking at history only.

yes, we changed governments many times in a few short years, and still ended up with the same parties and same people albeit with different party combination....hehe.
our parliament is focused on socks, soles of shoes, middle east conflict, and boycott of locally owned businesses.

yeah lah yeah lah.....people who post different views are all fake malaysians (all singaporeans and indonesians pretending to be malaysians ).

all real malaysians must agree with you, tape their eyes, look the other way and pretend everything is good in this country.

you think they interested in ktards in lowyat post, and your "enlightened" and "intelligent" views? hahahaha.....

the real malaysians are the ones who speak their minds, and point out what is wrong with this country.

not people who pretend racial and religious tensions dont exist, corruption, nepotism, bribery dont exist, political instability dont exist, economic decline don't exist, severe currency depreciation dont exist, people suffering dont exist, a burgeoning RM1.5 trillion debt dont exist...

and who pretend everything is wonderful here, all races and religions are harmonious, and we are one big happy family!
