Casio, AP or whatever... Singapore is light year ahead of Malaysia... Whether we like it or not.
This is OT. No one can doubt Singapore is way ahead of Malaysia. It was ahead of Malaysia when I was a student there in the 1980's and 1990's and the gap now seems wider than before. Even when Singapore is having a bad stretch, it's still better than Malaysia. But I feel it's unfair to make a comparison. It's like comparing a bustling city like Hong Kong, Dalian or Shanghai to say a province in China like Shantung or Shaanxi. Whilst Singapore is a city state, Malaysia is a rather vast country with land area approximately 800 times larger. If it takes US$XXX to build a major water pipe in Singapore, the same pipe will probably cost more to be built in the vast hinterland of Malaysia. That same pipe serves 100,000 families in Singapore, all of whom are taxpayers. Here, that pipe will serve 100families in our interior, probably none are taxpayers. How to compare?? For us, it's always how to better manage and reduce wastage and leakages in our system. For them, it's the obverse, how to squeeze the maximum performance out of an efficient system.
But when it comes to PM watches, our PM is many light years ahead of their PM, all the way to the farthest galaxies......it seems like LHL does not even wear a watch....how can??? Salary so high still cannot afford a watch???
