And as I have responded many a time to your childish attempts to draw me into yet another senseless Malaysia-vs-Singapore bash fest, having lived in both countries makes me immune to any of the cherished illusions each side holds about their respective "superiority". Are Malaysians unhygienic, corrupt, and racist? Yes. Are Singaporeans sterile, kiasu, and meanspirited? Also yes. (as you said - stereotypes persist because there are elements of truth in them)

And just because there are Malaysian Chinese who are compelled to work in Singapore for the sake of monetary consideration or career development, well, that's the testament to the power of incentives. I know Malaysians who like it here after a while, and just as many who grit their teeth and endure and hope to save up enough to go back. What's your point? Your childish ad hominem that Malaysians working here are akin to people who leave the Garden of Eden to come to work in Purgatory is akin to sneering at Westerners who choose to work in 3rd world countries where they aren't necessarily treated like Gods unlike in Singapore.

Malaysia is hardly the Garden of Eden; I can think of valid reasons why some Malaysian Chinese would feel more comfortable living in Singapore. But to impute any notion of superiority on the basis of differentiated circumstances that appeal to different people with different preferences is a complete waste of time and reflects the wilfully childish mindset of bigots who feel a need to assert nationalistic fervour - the virtue of the vicious - which I find rich coming from the likes of you.

Besides, ... won ton mee in tomato sauce!! How can any sane human being live consuming that stuff!!:) (yes, I can stoop to your level of childish arguments if you so wish)
