I’ve always enjoyed reading and watching Ladyiron Chef however this article #11 is offensive to me. To “thank god” that Singapore is no longer part of Malaysia is completely unnecessary. I’ve enjoyed visiting both. There’s always been friction between these countries. A quote I live by “never look down on someone, unless your helping them up” instead of thinking Singapore is better than Malaysia maybe help them achieve the same prosperity as Singapore, imagine the possibilities.

We will see what Singapore is like when it has the same age as many European cities

I can agree with some but mostly disagree. I feel that the article’s evaluation is made based on a pretty low and wavering benchmark, to almost say it is bias. For example, point 2 on water which you mentioned “many first world countries that we have travelled to do not have clean water”. So which first-world country doesn’t have clean water? Let’s just use your own example of France-Paris on pt 3 as a control-constant for comparison. Yes, they have clean drinking tap water as well.

Also, I’m not able to agree on Paris metro (train) system being dirty and smelly because they’re not. To give a fair evaluation, let’s look at other things that also matter. Quite consistently the metro I took in Europe were fast, efficient and never as crowded compared to being in Singapore during peak hours. Even more sadly I’m not even putting Switzerland in the picture because they’re in a league of their own when it comes to quality. Which in my opinion, to have a fair comparison we should be because Swiss has a GDP/capita that is very similar to us if not lower.

Afterall, you can’t be saying that we’re thankful or lucky to expect your car to be performing like a Toyota and not a Proton when you paid for a Ferrari. Having that said, we have hawker centres and kopitiams that provide good quality food at VERY decent prices.

I agree with you on all pointers with the exception of the last one; Singapore is the least corrupt nation among many countries but we are not corrupt-free.
