Tiny physically, but not so in certain areas

This is from the article, Intellectual Property & Development, in Latin Business Chronicle by John Murphy.

Though Singapore is a tiny country compared to India, it has managed to attract four times as much direct investment from around the globe — about $200 billion — much of it in high-wage sectors that are reliant on intellectual property. Consider these examples:

* Lucasfilm Animation, owned by George Lucas, the creator of the Star Wars films, opened its only digital animation studio outside the United States in Singapore in 2005.
* BMW recently set up its first design studio outside Germany or the United States — in Singapore.
* Pfizer recently opened a $600 million manufacturing facility in Singapore.

The Chinese in Malaysia is "better"

This is from the article, FEW, POOR AND SCATTERED - India has a stake in ethnic peace and stability in Malaysia, in The Telegraph by Sunanda K. Datta-Ray about the situation of Indians living in Malaysia.

The Chinese who comprise 23.7 per cent of Malaysia’s 27 million population are also perturbed by the drift from secularism, which alone can unite a multi-racial state in contented peace. The election announcement during the Chinese new year celebrations was seen as an insult. UMNO’s 2005 general assembly — when the party’s youth chief brandished a traditional Malay dagger (keris), threatening to bathe it in Chinese blood — awakened memories of the horrendous 1969 race riots. But the Chinese have weightage of numbers (they are in a majority in 26 constituencies), wealth (several millionaires), and political power (Penang state has a Chinese chief minister). They also have China and Singapore (especially Lee Kuan Yew) behind them. Indians are helpless in contrast.

Yet, people still wander alone.

Culture, Mr Chairperson we are sure you will agree, is not only about language, dress, food or rituals… it is also about how one generation facilitates and works to help the next generation to live in harmony and in peace. Do you ever wonder whether we are doing this for our coming generation in our mad rush to "develop" and become a Singapore or an America in the shortest possible period?
