I have nothing against hendrik but I've seen the way he types. 99% chance he is a edwm regular.

Can confirm - stopped over in KL once, and appreciated the "authenticity" during the few hours I was there.
Then transferred to SG and was immediately greeted by loud, rude honking
Well one needs to stay longer than several hours in KL to experience the "authenticity". Then you might get to run into some motorcycle hooligans, road hoggers, and the occasional flip off for daring to honk at them.
God forbid if you hit, or got hit by motorcycle (or bicycle) hooligans, you'll never win a case against them. If the rider dies, and you're not a Muslim, you're going to jail.
Or if you're in a hurry, there will be plenty of road hoggers to keep you company. They'll do their utmost best to stop you from reaching your destination on time. The best part is, they are on autopilot. So if you honk them, be prepared for angry feedback.
Overall, Malaysian drivers are generally more patient than Singaporeans. Good or bad? You be the judge. So enjoy the two flavours of the MY and SG driving experience.
I pissed off a Caucasian former classmate of mine because I joked that I don't want to visit Malaysia because in the 90's was a dirty and poor place when I visited.
I also made a joke that Taiwan is dirty from scooters and they could benefit from EV incentives if they become an official province of China.
He instantly exploded and stated that jokes about a potential Taiwan conflict are not funny because he had an ex from there and "I don't know what it's like to live in a state of existential crisis". He went on to say I am an oppressive Canadian colonizer who steps on the neck of the third world and would be happy to never talk to me again.
I thought for a while how to respond, but in the end just decided to say nothing at all.
I never lived in Asia or poverty, this is true, and this guy spent a number of years in mainland China. However, I simply did not know how to respond to someone who was so self-assured in his place in the world and moral superiority. I mean how does a white Canadian feel so much "closer" to the reality of poverty and hardship in Asia over the child of Chinese immigrants?

Wow I saw a Chinese dude in Singapore wearing a T-shirt with a huge Z at the front and bottom. I wonder if it's intentional LOL.
Does somebody lives or lives in China for longer periods?

Going to the sailing center tomorrow. Hopefully there are no Indian migrants playing football at the seaside restaurant (wrong place to play footbal) or rich Indian kids screaming at the waiters. Please don't ruin my weekend.
