, Singaporean who lived in Malaysia

As a Singaporean working in msia, with friends and family in Singapore, I feel that many Singaporeans actually feel quite superior to Malaysians.

This is because:

• SGD is 3 times RM now, so that means even normal professionals working the same job scope feel 3 times richer
  
• Many Malaysians don't speak English very well
  
• Malaysia infrastructure and government still lag behind Singapore by decades
  

But they mistakenly assume because of this, Malaysians must be less intelligent or capable than them.

In fact, precisely because Malaysians cannot rely on their government, I find them far more proactive and resourceful than Singaporeans.

Also, Singaporeans have a tendency to confuse knowing a lot of information with being knowledgeable.

A lot of their information, particularly related to Malaysia, tends to be wrong, but they think because they learn it from the “authorities”, it must be true.

How is your hometown Muar?

We are only lucky we have LKY and the old guards at that time otherwise, no difference between them.

How about how does the Malaysian view Singaporean?🤔

Now there is especially under the dishonourable son and his gang.

PAP has put themselves on the alter to be worship all the time, acting like they are god and worse, making wrong plans and force it on us.

If we put them on the bench with 15 countries and 100 ministers in the world, it is much easier to distinguish the fake brand and the genuine brand.

It is true that some idiot Malaysian thinks that his NTU Degree is superior and makes him knowledgeable. But Book smart is not street smart.

Somehow or rather, M'sians are indeed more proactive and resourceful than Singaporeans in many scams they target Singapore.  Just look at
Sunshine empire who collaborated with many M'sians to cheat Singaporeans in the fake investment scheme and many jobs scams purportedly
operating in Johore. They did these because of our 3 times strong currency.

Just a pack of wolves in sheep skin waiting to target it's preys.

They are hardworking. 
Taking opportunities in their favour.
Able to tolerate difficult circumstances.
