Whenever I read the chinese papers in malaysia, it is common to see commentaries comparing the BN government with PAP. The article would talk about the merits of PAP such as being highly efficient, corruption free etc... and how the BN government can emulate the PAP government...It seems to me that the malaysian chinese media thinks highly of the PAP government..
The few malaysian chinese friends I knew are also critical of the BN government. A lot of them are envious of us for having a 'world class government'. They like the fact that the PAP practices 'meritocracy' and 'treats every races equally'.
I can't help but feel that they would be happier if one day the SAF can capture the entire malaysia and with the PAPPY replacing BN as the federal government...
Their views will change once they really live life under PAP.

Don make him choose leh. Its like choosing between die hanging or die drowning.
msian chinese think very highly of PAP. But that's also because the grass "looks" greener on the other side. Wait till they live here and spend tons on houses and cars, see what they say.
A person who earns RM1k a month can own a car and still have a few kids in many parts of msia.
and wait till those newspapers are shut down by the old man so that they can "all sing one tune". Then they know the true meaning of democracy hahaha.

Yeah yeah, don't forget the DAP is a alternative party in Malaysia.
DAP is the offshoot of PAP contesting in Malaya.
If they are choosing between Malaysia's new economic policy and SG's Lee Kuan Yew's version of meritocracy policy, I think they will still choose LKY cos no matter what in LKY's SG you still got chance, in MY's NEP you simply won't get the chance.
But this doesn't mean I am supporting fully LKY's type of meritocracy... :)
Living with frogs will said that toads are better, and the reverse is true for those living with toads..will said frogs are better.
Oh, one more thing, did that chinese paper mentions that our govt paid are dammit high??
As far as I know, Malaysian Chinese are thought very highly of Lee Kuan Yew/PAP in general and even to the extent as a saviour figure, protector and defender of the Chinese race in Malaysia. They also liked the way his leadership and how he develop and govern Singapore into what it is today, unlike the incumbent UNMO, and even the MCA and BN wrecked by inefficiency and corruption promoted through the "indigenous race - first" policy.

I don't think that's entirely true..ask any minority singaporean who's lived here for years and they'll tell u otherwise..in fact the PAP party has had a long standing agenda for years in marginalising the various races and keeping them in check..
As for the malaysian chinese they probably won't feel any of this..being chinese themselves they wld assimilate into Singapore comfortably..

I thought you are a firm supporter of PAP??? din expect you to question their high salary..
Nope.. they din mention about the enormous pay package that the govt is paying themselves.. just that I feel that they might not mind.. the amount of money siphoned off by the corrupted guys up north should be much more than the millions drawn by our ministers every year...

there's a reason why I wrote 'meritocracy' and 'treats every races equally'...
You mentioned that PAP has been marginalising the various races.. but i find it perplexing that the minorities are giving their votes to PAP during the elections...
I feel that the minorities believe that their interests and rights are best protected by keeping the incumbent in power.. explaining their unwillingness to support the oppositions..
If you want to make the comparison i'd say the Malaysian Chinese tend to prefer Singapore to Malaysia (at least those that i've talked too) for the simple reason that they're not discriminated here and can progress on their own merit.
I won't say that the minorities are being marginalized but they are being neglected by the PAP government since they want us to move towards being more China friendly. They naturally have a disadvantage to the local Chinese because of that.
PAP vs BN....................
the devil i don't know is better than the one i do know..................
BN anytime lah................S'pore so small, if PAP can't control it properly then our true masters would have kicked out LKY and replace him with other people............
more corruption and inefficiency is okay as long as i can breathe.....................
ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS..............your govt is like your boss...............if your boss is too efficient, you say you'll die or not at work.............
