Question

The strength of the economy of singapore is based largely on its lack of corruption and generous government support for new businesses. how do you suppose its neighbors view the small island nation?

Answer 1

Singapore really has only two neighbors:

• Malaysia and
• Indonesia.

It is politically correct to state that Malaysia and Singapore have a love-hate relationship. Malaysia's political leadership look down on Singapore.

How can Singapore be described?

Singapore, as a multicultural, multiethnic, multireligious secular meritocracy, is an insult to their Bumiputera policy's falsehood of Malay-based apartheid.

Malays and other races such as Ibans, Dayaks, Eurasians, and Kadazan are considered native races of Malaysia.

Despite having lived there for centuries, a Chinese or Indian is considered a "pendatang," or an immigrant, and is discriminated against.

It is to be noted that Singapore was compelled to leave Malaysia due to disputes, socioeconomic factors, and the inability of Lee Kuan Yew and Tunku Abdul Rahman to reach an agreement.

That kind of issue persists after half a century. Malay nationalist hardliners anticipated Singapore to fail without a hinterland and return to Malaysia, where they would accept their demands. That did not work out as planned.
