The following is my answer to a Quora
question: “Has
Malaysia been better under Mahathir bin Mohamed than Singapore under the Lee
family?”
I am not sure of your intent in asking
this question, or whether you live under a rock in the middle of the Sahara. Have you ever been to Malaysia and walked
around, and then to Singapore? The
differences are very stark. Singapore is
an example of social engineering on a massive scale, of an emphasis on
meritocracy and multiculturalism. Malaysia
is a pseudo-feudal apartheid state where one race and one religion is preferred
over others, and the law is not applied equally. One is a developed nation, one of the
wealthiest in the world, whereas the other is stuck in developing status,
suffering a shrinking economy and losing international prestige the way the
Hindenburg lost hydrogen.
