Education is critical, yes… but being a Singaporean who has spent a period of time living in Malaysia, I feel another critical factor is rule of law. Many Malaysian politicians, civil servants and even police see rule of law as an obstacle rather than as a guiding principle to create a disciplined society. For example, if someone has been convicted of a billion-dollar crime and facing other criminal charges in Singapore, there’s no way he can be walking around like a free man, taking part in politics as an MP as though nothing has happened.
@@jimw8615 Singapore's Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) has even investigated funeral parlours for bribery for having accepted red packets from their customers i.e. bereaved families wanting to thank the parlours' staff for their service (as part of a Chinese tradition/custom I think)
Sejujurnya ini adalah video dari rakyat Malaysia yang paling terbaik pernah saya tengok/lihat. Bukan sahaja mengeluh atau merungut tapi memberikan cadangan apa yang boleh dilakukan didalam kawalan seseorang individu. Terus hasilkan video yang berguna untuk semua..
Great video. I'm a Malaysian who was sent to study in Singapore age 7. From age 7-16, my mom woke me up every morning at 5am so I can take the bus across the causeway. Then I'd come back during peak hours, taking the bus back. If I had after class activities by the time I get back home it'll be like 9PM. It's tough but I'm very grateful for my mom's foresight and sacrifice (school fees not cheap).I now live and work in Singapore, used to go back Johor every 2 weeks but cuz of COVID haven't went home in more than 2 years :( Education really is super key. Great production btw. I make comics about personal finance also so I can appreciate how well you are condensing complex topics into easily digestible content. Look forward to more.
Your government may among the most worthless and corrupt in the world, but your citizens are certainly one of the most talented and hardworking. Love from Singapore.
This is one of the flaws of democracy :/. Uneducated people and unsuitable people being able to vote with zero to none knowledge of any politician's background and politics in general. Hope people in the future will be smart enough to improve upon the idea of democracy and modify it to suit its society.
@@Bob-em6kn Very well said!! Now the politicians want to lower the age threshold you can vote in the name of democracy... Why not let the kids vote the school principal the headmaster first? Let the general clerk vote the company CEO? Disgusting politics torturing democracy at its best!!
It's not just education. Everyone knows its the corruption, lack of meritocracy and unequal opportunities in Malaysia that are the cause of non-progress.
This is what happen when a country don’t value equality and meritocracy, Malaysia is one of the only few countries that implement laws that protect majority and undermine minority then foster such relationships over a span of decades slowly allowing corruption into the politics, society, education, businesses etc
@@Soshiaircon91 I respect your opinion but it's overemphasised. It's not like every 'majority' will be spoon-feed and the so called 'privilege' is something forever. At the end of the day, everybody needs to work hard. I find this is the most popular excuses used for gaining sympathy etc.
@@Soshiaircon91 Malaysia is the only Chinese country in the world where minorities Chinese can keep their Chinese name,practise Chinese culture ,PH for Chinese New Year and have their own Chinese school
@@chacha9690 not correct. Indonesia is allowing it too. In the west chinese has same freedom as the locals too. Anyways the rite to practice own culture etc does not justify the inequality in terms of economic policy.
Singapore politician run the country like a businessman . However Malaysia politician run the country with corrupted intent for personal gains . Try swapping our politician with each other for one year . Our SGD will definitely go back to 1:2 ringgit . Leaders is really important , i have seen hardworking Malaysian working in Singapore but have to travel back and forth just to put food on the table. Nothing wrong with the Malaysian ,problem is the leader. By the way Najib still can walk freely like nothing happen. GG
what’s haram doesn’t matter because every Friday you go to some place and stick up your asses and you hit the reset button. Everything goes back to zero and there you go again. Haram my ass ! Same everywhere throughout the ME n S E Asia as well.
Same with what I'm thinking. The current admin in PH is even proposing to change the form of government to what you have here in Malaysia. But definitely it boils down to leadership! Whatever form of government you have but your leaders cannot come up with brilliant ideas to tackle governance problems, you can't still achieve a high income society.
That brings back to his main point of education, as much as having the right leader is important, but having the right education system to nurture such leader is important as well.
Malay Singaporean here. My late dad was a blue collared worker after a failed business. But we witnessed him going to the library every other week to read, n thus we did the same. At 13 I started to get allowance weekly to teach me how to budget. N soon it became monthly allowance once i turned 15. We had to budget our transport money n makan money. N if we wanted to watch a movie w friends we had to figure out a way to adjust our budget and save. Hr also shared stories of his travels n his young days... n importance of relationships and betrayals.... so i hear u. This is applicable to all. Not just malaysians per sei. Loved the video. Kudos to u!
Hope ypu start Malay Lives Matter because I read in MalaysiaNow website 90% on death row in Singapore are malays and tamils... reading widely is imnportant.

I am an Indonesian that used to stay in Malaysia for around 7 years for study, from Form 4. Based on my observation the problem of Malaysia is because the government keep pushing for separation of the race. For example in Indonesia there are no such thing as "race" on any government form for that matter. Also no discount or whatsoever for bumiputra, etc for buying stuff like cars or house.
Singapore has racial distinctions too. The reason why Sg and Malaysia has this problem compared to Indonesia is because of the sheer amount of non Malays or rather non natives in both countries whereas in Indonesia the numbers are very very much lower and the foreigners who stayed in Indonesia has no problem with assimilation. For example, in Malaysia and Singapore, some portions of the Chinese population are illiterate in Bahasa and even English. I’d imagine if it happened in Indonesia, there would be some sort of racial tensions between the locals and of people not trying to conform with the rest of society in terms of language and nationalism.
@@joesr31 i wasn’t talking about laws on preferential treatment. However in practice, the government tries to maintain racial demographics through immigration and we actually do have policies that involve race. So preferential treatment depends on how you look at it. Naturally, being part of the majority in any community affords one certain privileges and language is one example. And btw I am Singaporean with experience living in indonesia while also keeping close to our neighbour Malaysia and my comments are based on my own observations and experience living here.
I'm Singaporean and I want Malaysia to be just as successful as Singapore. On paper, Malaysia's resources far exceeds Singapore and have the potential to out perform Singapore's economy. My late father is Malaysian and my mother is Singaporean and I can see and appreciate the differences and struggles on both sides. There's so much we can learn from each other. Lastly, being stuck in Singapore since this pandemic has made me miss my relatives in Malaysia a lot more. I wish everyone out there in Malaysia all the very best and that our two countries can start seeing each other again very soon. Then we can fight about who got better food all over again haha
Until then, Malaysians who do want progress, cleanliness and efficiency should try and chip away the power of the unelected, unprofessional corrupt clowns who are ruling Malaysia today. Who are stifling change and better understanding towards communities and united growth. If not, Malaysia will continue to stagnate and be the backside of Singapore. :(
@@syafsmith5085 Malaysia isn't Singapore's backside by any measure to me. Singapore and Malaysia are at this time completely different countries operating with very different layers of political, financial and societal machineries. What systems that have made Singapore what it is today may not function as easily or seamlessly in Malaysia. I agree with your opinion but I'd rather not Malaysia be just a bigger version of Singapore. It would be too boring and a little weird. I would like to see Malaysia be successful in their own way.
@@PRSer that's brilliant, I agree with you. Definitely there are many things to be improved. However, I would say Malaysia should not be compared with Singapore per se (referring to the the topic) but may learn something from their success. If we consider among the four little dragons, South Korea is the most advanced one. Nevertheless, their GDP (nominal) per capita is just half of Singapore. At current point, Singapore is even ahead of Japan in term of GDP nominal per capita as well as HDI indicator.
Hi, I’m a Singaporean and I really admire your parents over how they managed to nurture you to become the amazing person you are today! Just one thing, Mr Lee Kuan Yew was a prime minister, not a president 😂
I'm from the USA but taught English here for several years (more than 5). The things you say in this video are do true about Malaysia, especially the schools. Thank you for this video! I hope people watch it. I will share.
I hope everyone will learn a thing or two in this video regardless what race you are as Malaysian. The only issue with Malaysia is the way our elderly government constantly using the racial cards in everything they are up to and send the wrong message to all, and that needs to change if we want a better Malaysia for our future generations to come.
The older generation didn't go through the problematic system that they created. It's time for a younger generation to enter politics and give out better ideas to the government.
Yes vinc I agree also but also in the video where he say he is mixing his kids with different ethics to see the bigger picture and to learn from others is from my opinion a good way to teach the future gen. To be a true malaysian
Also please engage during Parent Teacher Association meetings. If you think the school is not good in some way, voice it out so that the teachers know and push for change at a local level. Understand that teachers are humans too and listen to them when they give feedback.
You fail terribly in understanding what he said. He is mentioning the fundamentals of the malaysia school system and the way the teachers are selected. You cannot talk to the school regarding this as it is beyond their scope of responsibilities and ability. It is the government's duty. Sigh....
As a Singaporean, I'm quite fascinated when we get compared with other countries. Some of subtle things that were done without many of us noticing it where it changes our behaviour, so when others point it out it creates a better appreciation.
As much as I would like to think our current generation are as good, they are probably not. I totally agree with you. We were VERY lucky to have a great bunch of people leading the 1st generation ( Not just LKY. I actually put GKS above LKY). Anything less and we would still be in a hell hole.
Singaporeans ought to be thankful for what the late LKY had done for the nation. He had laid a solid foundation before he retired, so the younger generations must not ruin what he and the pioneers have built. No doubt, I heard lots of grouses among youngsters when I lived there, and I still hear them now, but which country is perfect? What I saw and experienced first hand opened my eyes. You know what shocked me the most when I first got on a bus? The Malay bus driver greeted me in English "good morning". And every bus captain does that, too. And you know what else? The bus captain assisting the wheelchair passenger up the WAB ramp while other passengers patiently waited for the front door to be opened. I've looked at Singapore differently since then. So, brother, Majulah Singapura. Don't let the young selfish ones ruin your beautiful nation.
One thing I admire Malaysian Chinese is their never-say-die attitude, always looking for innovative little ways to improve life no matter what. Here at SG our average citizen depends too much on govt, so if PAP fails we die
Me as a Malaysian, what you said is true. The problem of our education starts from its roots, *leadership* and *corruption.* Not only the education but also other major problems such as defense and health system are also facing problems in this beloved country. My mother is an experienced English teacher for 30 years. What I see from his experience is that when there is a transition of political power then the education system will also undergo some changes because of the new education minister. To me this is a big problem in the national education system. Moreover, the development of national education is also interrupted when there is a separation of the education system based on ethnicity. Like the existence of SMK, SJK as well as the uncontrolled numbers of private schools. Like hey man, just look at Germany and Singapore, there are no schools based on ethnicity. For me that's why they are more advanced in terms of education. For me, all changes are acceptable if they do not violate the country's constitution which can affect the harmony of Malaysia. That's just a 20 cent opinion from me. Thank you.
Uniting into one school doesn't work as long the content of teaching is still sub-par and remain the same. If the government truly impartial for improving education quality, they must keep politics and religion out of public education first and foremost, only secular value will empower education quality.
Love your video. As a Singaporean born in the 1980s, I would say we take a lot of what our forefathers did for granted. Thanks for pointing out their intentions here.
in my opinion, all races should attend the same school since kindergarten, primary school. If they cant play and study together, how do you think they can work together when they are older???
sure, thats a good idea as long as that education system in those schools are also competent and effective. i think we all know how poorly most of sekolah kebangsaan education culture is.
It's not about about poor SK standards. It is about standardizing education for all races... Look at Singapore.. When one race suffers in education, the nation suffers
@@muhdfaridhazwan Well you dont have to be smart to have good grades. Just memorize the answer and if the question comes out, plug in your answer that u remember. our school teaches us to answer based on marking schemes. They dont teach us to apply what we learn and teach us critical thinking.
It's also about the race. In Malaysia, the government is so close minded. Only Malay can be the high ranked government servants. But in Singapore, they are open to all race. They ignore the race, as long as they are capable.
Dude , ask your chinese and indian friend, did they want to work as governmant servant? Their basic salary for the first year for degree candidate is 2k-2.3k RM, i have many chinese friend, they not even bother to apply because when u work as customer services on private company , it will give you more money even though you only have SPM, their starting salary is more than rm3k , you guys not even trying to apply and blaming the gov all the way.

Do you think its possible? Government hold these schools and government itself is incompetent and low quality... Don't expect parents out there would waste their children's time on useless school with useless education then lastly produced a rubbish for the society which makes the country fall...

First time watching your video. Found your video of good quality and content. My family migrated from malacca to Singapore in the 80s, I remember travelling back and forth during the cny period to visit relatives in malacca. Althought I'm a Singaporean now, i wish for Malaysia to flourish the same as Singapore. There are certainly problems in Singapore too, such as the numerous rules and stress level, but its because we are in such comfort zone we tend to take what we have for granted. As a father of a 3 year old son, I like your tips on how to give him the right exposure early on in life. We have already mapped out which school we want to send him and what sort of exposture we want him to have. Thank you for your video.
Thank you for sharing your experience. At the end of the day every place has its pros and cons (Like we bet melacca good taste better) 😝 at the end of the day we want to strive for a better future for our children! Thanks Patrick!
Pat, stress is self-imposed. The pressure on your kids will look like it's from the teachers and peers, but the truth is it comes from the parents. As a parent, you decide whether your kid gets stressed. You can dictate from K1 whether you want them to get into the rat race or enjoy a great childhood. I have 4 kids. 2 are in Uni and 2 are in secondary school. I made sure that they slept by 8pm until at least Sec 2. It's all about balancing work and play. They are expected to complete their homework, but if, on some days, they come back around 6pm, I tell them that they still have to sleep at 8pm and that they won't need to do their homework. (It's only the dumbass teacher who gives so much homework that they have to stay up till 10pm, anyway). When questioned - my kids know how to tell the teacher that Daddy said to go sleep and that they should take it up with me. You decide how much stress your kids get, not their peers and not their teachers. (or society, for that matter). You decide.
@@thirushaun1096 It needs to involve everyone, Malays obviously have a lot to think about, but its not one sided too. Lets be honest here, we all have our own biases and racist stereotypes that we believe in. Working in non-malay majority company truly open my eyes about this. Everyone need to reevaluate their point of views and opinions. Everyone need to gain better knowledge of the others and realise, at the end of the day we are all on the same boat, with the same unqualified and unreliable captain.
@@nadzirah8132 T.T so touching, I do hope everyone can be as open minded as you. My short term suggestion in terms of job opportunities is for more Malays to send their children to SJK and learn Chinese languages, it definitely help in adding more versatile work force for Malaysia, and our government can be more confident to procure jobs from other country especially China (which done a lot of production at global scale today). This will improve country's economy and financial stability. After all, a good country is a country with productive workforce. Only by sharpening our own tools, then we can produce perfect works.
If Sarawak and Sabah were an independent country and join with Singapore when she exited from Malaysia in 1965, today this country would be the Dubai of South East Asia. The volume of oil and gas in these two states are easily 100 times more than Brunei. Look at Brunei today. They made a right choice of not joining Malaya in 1963. This clearly explained how much money has been stolen from the national coffer of Malaysia. The pathetic truth is most people are sleeping and ignorance.
Well, those who are asleep wont wake up anytime soon so, prepare for some other uncivilized buffoons who are gonna blast this thread with their self-righteous and dumb denial.
some of my most unpleasant cultural experiences in Malaysia stem from issues of laziness, slyness and inertness that was coupled with a sense of entitlement from not having the pressure to do better. it was common for people to lie to you, from sales people to government officials, to make up fake narratives to cover up, and even sometimes do gentle coercion, like playing victim or buat kesian on themselves to just avoid having to do, what is literally their vocation or job. it is even worse when they are in a position where others depend on the quality of their service, because it made them feel "more important" but also less incline to be of service due this very one power dynamic. while we have the larger problems like governance and corruption, on the basic human end, this is what I observed and experienced. of course, not all Malaysians are like this, but majority. the culture difference was so great that I often need to "reset" my expectations, especially if I had to work or interact with Malaysians in a business or professional level. culturally, there is also a tendency to blame others instead of taking accountability and improving to avoid similar outcomes. we can clearly see this in the gross emotional investment in local celebrity culture, online kecam-mengecam, and in the Covid19 pandemic response.
and yet after travelling around china meeting relatives namawee don't want to go back to china...your point? Just because you are a fool dont put the blame on others. Stop blaming others for your own incompetence. Stop feeling entitle to free land for musang king.
@@hilmir Lazy, incompetent ,pure stupidity is my observation of you from your comment. Poor, lying with a sense of entitlement of Malay Land is how I would describe migrants coming to the Malay Federation. Sorry kalau tersinggung..😂😂
I as a Malaysian can confirm that the teacher situation is true to some degree. Not all teachers are like that but there are some. For example, one of my English subject teacher (still in practical) don't even have good grammar even compared to me!!
i can vouch for that especially coming from rural school i’ve went to..the quality of teachers,types of learning aids are average at best in comparison to our cluster schools counterparts which is sad when such educational divisions does happen in modern world
My grandmother was a teacher, she spoke very fluent English but she was actually teaching math. Back then teachers were highly regarded and look up to. She was a widow, yet with her salary, she took care of her mother, 2 sisters, and 3 sons including my father. She even bought a house and a car. She was very frugal too so that also help lol.
My science teacher marked my answer wrong because I wrote imbalanced and she thought it was spelled as 'inbalanced'. Many things I asked her out of curiosity around the subject and she will always smile and tell me that it is out of topic/syllabus. I'm from Malaysia.
This is exactly what i hate, "that's out of topic" yeah it won't come out on exam but i want to know. Teacher focused on exam results rather than learning make people stupid. And im sure they just trying not to sound stupid by saying i don't know.
@@mukrizhsmukmuk9252 ikr, why don't they just say that they don't know but will find out and let you know. In this way both the teacher and the student can learn something new.
@@mukrizhsmukmuk9252 majority of our science teachers are gravely depraved of science knowledge most likely because of they're not passionate about it or maybe they're too religious to boldly swim in that field.

When I'm back in Malaysia, I barely recalled how many times I visited library for the past 10 years, maybe less than twice. In Singapore, I did it twice a month to instill reading habits for my kid. I truly believed education is the forward way to change the life. I even noticed some Malaysians are willing to migrate to SG and giving up everything in MY just to give their kids better education. Unless your kid is a smart genius, make sure you earn enough to pay more for education
Yea leh, when I was in London.. I couldn’t believe how beautiful and amazing their public library is. I spent Hours in the library when I should been doing tourist stuff. Quiet, clean, smells good, and coffee!
Finally!! I love ths topic. Benda yg saya sntiasa tertanya2 dengan diri sndiri since primary school, akhirnya trjawab dalam video ni. Thank you mr money tv..
One thing I really enjoy about Singapore is community libraries. They are in almost every neighbourhood. It is so easy to visit one and borrow books and read. In Malaysia¿ You are lucky to find one library in the whole township. Where I live, we have one public library that hasn't been expanded ever since it was built. I may have found it adequate as a kid but the last time I visited as an adult, I realized how small it actually is. Reading really is a good habit to have, helps hone comprehension skills and critical thinking, things many people lack nowadays
Library and ample space (used for soccer field) were important in every community 30 years ago. Those have been places for integrated society. Sadly, today you can see any space available will be convert to development areas and fail to keep minimim spaces to allow kids playing among themselves safely.
The main reason is because Malaysia government place emphasis on relationship, race and protecting the status quo. The results we see today is the effort of six decades of works to uphold the status rather then focusing on meritocracy. Is really sad we have such nice country but with bad leadership over so many years that causes the whole nation to fall so far behind. Sad to say that.
Well when you compare with Hindu India government do you want to go back to India? Such a nice country with taj mahal and nuclear power.. so your own country is backward until no tamils want to go back.Doesn't that say something?
So sad until chinese don't want to go back to china? So sad until telegus or tamils dont want to go back to bankrap Sri Langka or India? hmm your sadness is saddening hehe
@@wizzyi3862I'm baffled. Malaysian Chinese are Malaysian, and many Malaysian Chinese truly love Malaysia, and the culture it entails. Most Chinese or Indians who are affected by quotas are the ones who rely on their hard work to enter public universities, meaning they are poor, and you expect poor people to move to entirely different country? Even the average M-40 person would struggle trying to move to a new place. That statement completely lack empathy and regard for the fact that Indians and Chinese are humans too. Anyone could have very well been born as a Chinese or Indian person, we do not get to choose, and then pay the price for literally only the colour of our skin.
Truly inspired by your parents. And yes, our parents did their best with what they have. Indeed education is very important, because with education, it changes our perspective in things and how we behave in a society. SG have that advantage, but I believe MY can be as good. 👍🏻👍🏻
it starts from u ppl bro. We minorities cant really do much, we wanted to make progressive changes but it is always hindered by some with agenda and calling it too liberal. Of course, they will bring out islam. Thats why Islam is so cheapen by these hypocrites in Malaysia, and they claimed to be protector of Islam and uphold Islam. But they use Islam everywhere, screwing the name of Islam left right up down. Re;ligion is sacred but its being treated like public toilet by those whom they supposed to "uphold" Islam. Funny innit?
@@johnthiam2446 Coz you Chinese have history of colonizing many parts of Asia, you guys even colonized Singapore and have policies to maintain Chinese as majority. This is why the Malays are cautious of the Chinese.
@@TeleeFONE You can’t play victim when you enjoy majority privilege and oppress minorities in your own country. What happens in Singapore is Singapore’s business, what happens in Malaysia is Malaysia’s. Your reply shows that you treat Malaysian Chinese like outsiders, when so many have lived in Malaysia for generations. Some even came over from China since before the Qing dynasty hundreds of years ago.
Lee Kuan Yew and Malaysia could not agree on 1 Major point back in 1965, Lee Kuan Yew said he wanted to make it so everyone has Equal Opportunity and same level playing field. but Malaysia wanted to give Malays an advantage over others. it was one of the things they couldn't agree on, and i think this rule is also what makes Singapore attractive to foreigner investors and foreign talents.
@Yazid Muhammad Yes. You got a point here. Chinese are generally more well-equipped with business mindset which is mainly why they can create and grasp every opportunity to survive and thrive. But what about those who don't? If you even have the slightest common sense, you should understand that not EVERY chinese is destined to become a future business magnate or Ivy League graduate you know. Can you even imagine how hard it will be for this group to make a living out there in the M'sian society where inequality prevails weirdly like a norm? Let alone the Indian community.
This comment section seems more interesting than the rest. But here's the thing. Why is the Malay community is kinda still poor despite having privileges? Like in over decades of independence and special privileges, why didn't the government come up with effective ways to really make the majority race more wealthier? Why many of them are still depending on quota systems and such for better life? Are the people in power not competent enough or was it on purpose? I don't have any proof or anything but I really feel like it's little bit of both but it's mostly the second one.
The Malaysian Malays still don't get the points. Govt policies should be given to the POOR and under-privileged! The "disguised" policies in Malaysia are just only to make the rich Malays richer!
@Yazid Muhammad 1) Minority citizen have more wealth. Yes. But mind you that those are self-made. There is a reason behind why they are able to succeed despite that many odds that they have to face in M'sia due to them having a "not very favorable" skin tone. You should read about the stories of how they get from rags to riches and all the hardships they went through. 2) First and foremost, by thinking about wanting to not have to learn Chinese as yet another privilege in your long list of all other privileges, I'm certain with you that it only makes things difficult for you even if employers take back that language requirement. Why? Because it is just as essential as it is needed to be listed as a job requirement. Top managements/hr/manager/colleagues will be using that language for clear communication and you're now telling your future boss to ditch their language to make things easier for you? A small worker? No offence but dream on, big baby. When you are faced with job requirements like that, as a mature job-seeker, the only thing that should come to your mind is how you should manage your time and use the learning opportunities that are accessible to you to your advantage to learn that language. Who do you think you are to demand employers to always make everything easy for you? If you want every boss you meet to tell you "You can have whatever you want in my company, make yourself at home", then I can only tell you that you will never succeed. As a non-native English Speaker, we know from a young age that English is not going away anytime soon and is the key to greater employability even in M'sia. What we think of right after that is only how long we still have to learn and master that language before our proficiency have to be put to test when we have to kickstart out career, not how we can suppress the government/criticize English users to use Malay language instead. 3) as a matter of fact, Temasek used to be ruled under Lee Kuan Yew. Yes. But Singapore was NOT "given" to him as a "present from Malaya" but instead that tiny island was very much, his. And as another fact, that land had never been that rich ( Do you think those Malaya leaders would ever let Singapore get out of Malaya if it were to have tons of natural resources? ). Lee Kuan Yew is the only hero behind SIngapore's prosperity as of today, so now you wanna say they should thank you for what they have today? Then you should think back about what you have contributed to singapore when they were still developing. And let me tell you, it was nothing.
@Yazid Muhammad And as another matter of fact, this land has NEVER been, a property of your ancestors. You don't even know where your ancestors come from? Have some common sense, dude. And if this land is really that attached to you, then as a NATIVE M'sian, it's really ridiculous and weird in the eyes of others for you to know nothing about local history as well as where M'sians are actually from. In short, you know too little to start a debate, judging by how many FACTS I have to tell you so maybe you should learn to take back your vulnerable ego and learn to appreciate all the exclusive opportunities you get that others dont, just because you look like you do.
Thank you very much for sharing this story with us. I have to admit i learned english the same way you did, through the television and that really helped a lot i mean A LOT. Although the part when you spoke about how your dad actually shared his life experience is something i wish my dad would be more open to sharing. Yes, i've seen the ups and downs with my family but when the going gets tough he doesn't really share it with us. Trust me he had it all going on when i was much younger but still having a driven mindset to be successful can hamper certain family up bringings. Hence, my advise is to share the problems and mistakes we made in our lives because we can learn from it rather than actually go through it firsthand. Thank You Mr Money, your videos are truly inspiring especially for me who i believe is currently underpaid even when i'm working for a bank. It truly is not the best state to be young and living in KL.
The difference is Lee Kuan Yew. That smart, stubborn, pugilistic, anti-British authoritarian who birthed a first-world nation from a resourceless, Straits of Malacca swamp. Because of him, I have more qualifications than I care to count or have use for, and have led a life of intellectual curiosity and discovery. I thank Mr Lee - warts and all- for this endowment.
To say Singapore is a resource less swamp is not entirely correct. The British left Singapore with the most developed ports in the region and out of all Straits Settlements, most resources are focused to build Singapore. Singapore doesn't have to fight communist insurgents like Malaysia do during the Malayan Emergency, they had this easier in this part. Whereas communist insurgents made infrastructure development in Malaysia far more difficult than it needed to be.
@@edmundtaiping Singapore is no longer resourceless. It was. It now has human capital. You have to admit, Singapore is hardly a fount of natural resources. Even LKY acknowledged this.
@@caiwutian2493 hence I said they had it easier in this part. The smaller size made them easier in counter communist insurgency early on, and not much fighting is involved. They don't have to spent millions developing infrastructure destroyed by insurgents, nor they need to relocate people around to keep them away from communist influence and threats. Yes, they did fought communist insurgents, I should made it clear in my original comment on how they got it easier.
Where have you been all this while? Malaysia needs more from you and more of you! I’m Singaporean and fully support your ideas and contributions to Malaysia.
So that one day Malaysia will see its total dominance helmed by the Chinese, disregarding the majority because they are not superior. Oh, that is what I thought when seeing you guys buddy2 with each other. Still wonder why Singapore is used as a comparison to Malaysia despite the different in landmass and population size that entails difficulty in public control.
As a Singaporean, my Mum also made me watch cartoons in English + Sesame Street & brought me to the community library every other week. Brings back fond memories.
yup, at least you guys don't need to learn a useless language such as Malay. Free up your brain storage and memory space for more economic useful languages like English, Mandarin, Japanese and Spanish.
As A Malaysian, I am envious of Singaporean and SOMETIMES I wish I was born in Singapore. lol. I like your thinking by the way. I hope that Malaysians can get out of their comfort zone in order for our country to be one of the best in the world.
As a singaporean, I don't think u are at a worse position than any singaporean if u are working in Singapore. Any capable worker is highly appreciated. I have seen very successful Malaysians in Singapore.
@@davidletterboyz well.. the quality of working environment highly depends on the local gov. either u live with it or move to a better spot to change your lifestyle. many has, what are u waiting for then?
What I meant in my reply earlier was the brain drain situation in Malaysia. Of course nobody can stop them from working in Singapore. It's their rights and choice. But if nobody stay behind to build the country, then we will just slip further away.
I just cried a little bit bcuz of this video😭😔. We need to accept a really heartbreaking fact that there are some things that are beyond our controls and we need to figure ways to solve the problem. Please, no more corruption I'm so sad right now 😔
Why sad, majority of malays love corruption and even wanted to bring back the most corrupted leader in Malaysia history Najib Razak for top positions again. Malu apa bosskur.
@@joharirahman9680 Mate, Malaysia especially the Malay politicians since the 80s screwd up the country. It was going well the first 20-30 years since merdeka but it's really bad now. I think it is pointless to recover now it's too late. Time to pack the bags. I have left Malaysia too for you should know where 'hint hint'. I had given myself and Malaysia a chance few years ago but now it is even worse than the earlier worst
As a Malay singaporean, I agree on all of your points. My view on Malaysia is that the Malay first ideology is what holding them back,I believe that what caused the stagnation in Malaysian Malays. Example the lack of initiative to learn and upgrade.Too many times when I’m in jb, I will find Malays youth hanging around or working dead end jobs. while Malaysian Chinese & Indian are thriving by working in Singapore because the lack of opportunities in Malaysia. Because they had found most entry level job is better in sg is better because of the pay and exchange rate. As person I love sg and Malaysia, I want them to prosper, but there major changes needed which will take some time to bear fruit.
I was about to say to same but you put it nicely- the "Malay first" ideology. This ideology was carried to the extreme during Mahadir's time to the point that it suppressed the progress of non-Malay, deprived them of opportunities. This led to the brain-trained of many non-Malays. Even some Malays were fed-up and left. The ideal situation was that all races rise up together. During Najib's tenure, as corrupted as he was, many opportunities were given to non-Malays to survive including attending the local universities.
Well, a lot of Singaporeans take it for granted. Most do not know how blessed they are having their type of politicians compared to the one in Malaysia. For e.g. a lot Singaporeans criticized SG govt on the way they manage the Covid-19 crisis. In Malaysia, when we compare Malaysia with Singapore, some will tell us to migrate to Singapore if not happy with Malaysia. It is true that a lot of teachers now are not a teacher by ambition. Most are forced to take it by the local university placement program (UPU). Teaching is not even in their list of choices.
IMO its just inherently Singaporean's habit to complain. They complain about anything and love to complain about the government the most. I have a friend that complain about the gov all the time but ended up voting for the incumbent 😂
No la, Singaporeans really like to blame politicians, but realize it is better than whole lot of Malaysia's. It kinda like hobby. But, at least if MRT breakdown SGs know to put responsibility to the line directors. Malaysia hujan turun banyak pun salahkan politician, salahkan Tuhan.
well said! alot famous people regardless youtubers,stars , etc dont dare to touch these kind of topic as they scare might be too sensitive and backfire from their fans. but this is the hard truth. either we accept and advance together or we deny it and advance back to stone age.
I feel that education in Borneo Malaysia is the closest to unity. Because all students from different backgrounds come to the same SMK. And private vernacular schools are limited and not everywhere so parents have no choice. Even though we all came from different primary schools, but I feel it is easier to communicate with my Chinese or iban friends. Less awkward, I feel like I can really befriend them. But idk why in the Malaysia Peninsula this is still a thing. Perhaps my life in Borneo is more communal and our community is inclusive to all races so it doesn't feel awkward at all to speak to other races, if that's what you call it. IMO, Sarawakians are Sarawakians. Because we all live life the same. Chinese don't feel segregated in SK, Malay don't feel segregated in SJK. Iban as majority(I mean dayak but in my hometown iban is majority) can choose SJK or SK. And my parents also prioritize importance of reading. Although I never go to local library, but when my father and I went to bookstore, we would buy dozens of books and make them our collection. Even I myself have my own collection. Anyway, in conclusion, we must unite under the same education system and please read a lot or else you stuck with your ignorance.
The problem is that SJKCs are outperforming SKs. If we close the SJKCs, then everybody would think this is just a case of cutting down all the tall poppies. Levelling down instead of up. We would catch up faster with Myanmar instead of Singapore. The solution seems simple to me. Maybe I am being simplistic. But if we were to just push more Malay and Indian kids into the SJKCs, then the SJKCs can become the melting pot where everybody mixes with everybody. They all end up learning Mandarin. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Bring back English SMs.
@@danielch6662 it's either to shed a bit off ethnicity by mixing the people for economic purposes or to stay with racial-based people that would lead to disharmony and ethnocentrism
@@akmalrusydi2730 mixing citizens are the ultimate endgame strategy for a truly united Malaysia, yes I mean assimilation. But before we can overhaul our education system to make national school's qualities and teaching standards to be on par with vernacular or private schools, I don't support the abolishment of vernacular schools. I've been to SJKC and SMK, to me the qualities between these two are huge. National schools need to step up their game.
Truly inspired. Couldn't agree more. I believed some days in future we Malaysian would do better than current situation and more better than others. Developing the human capital and spirit of national are the keys for next generation.
Crux of Malaysia problem is corruption & nepotism. There is little to hope for if these problems persist. From an outsider perspective, i would reckon those seeking success to get out of the country for both education & jobs, but return to take up top positions or for retirement.
@@eoky Plus, Singapore swears by meritocracy. A capable person is valued regardless of race or religion. Now, even nationality doesn't matter. It's getting the best people to do what they're good at.
as long their corrupt,racist, pendatang and komunis issues it will never be a good developing capital people..the pribumi get chance to enter uni with less A' and just playing around at uni..
Regardless what race you are, you should definitely agree that education is essential in shaping our country’s future especially in terms of improving our country. I would not 100% agree with your point about IPG students since my IPG friends are very passionate about the things they’re learning (and will be teaching). What we need is systemic change to cure the root cause of this issue. What we CAN do right now is teach our own young ones, just like your parents did. 🙌 just my dua kupang
Love this video! I’ve always believed if we want better Malaysia we need to start from our kids. As a millenials, I think our generation realize how far we’ve been left behind. So we don’t want the same happens to our kids. Hence, best way is to start now.
OMG that's also what my mom did for me when I was young too!! only watched English cartoons & movies and bring me to national library and the state library to lend books & VCDs 😍 yes and I've always thought that was the reason I'm better at English than my peers 😍
You missed a very important component - Singapore’s National Service - with 2 years plus 7 years of reserve training. By mixing all units not only did we learn to live together but think as Singaporeans and what is good for us. By mixing in the HDB flats we no longer view other races with suspicion. Sure racism still exist but far less. Also National Service only affects the males so to some extent there is still some discord. My 2 cents worth. Malaysian citizens deserve a better govt. As long as Malaysians still think in terms of race, have political parties that are racially aligned then unity is just a dream. It is up to the Malays in Malaysia to change this. As for the Bumiputra policy, if after 6 decades it does not work what on earth makes anyone believe it will work in the future. And more importantly how can non bumiputras feel that they are citizens with an equal stake. I wish Malaysians the best and must say they are lovely people. Keep the best bits and improve in what you can and when you can. Don’t waste time.
Tambi you got to understand the past to understand the future..India was poor so many poor tamils, telegus migrated to work in rubber estates in British plantation. Now India is rich,got space-exploration,got taj mahal why are they not going back??that is the million dollar question..ane
One thing about countries(japan, south korea, taiwan, singapore) without natural resources, they invest heavily on human capital and education. Malaysia is stuck in the middle income category because we depend a lot on our natural resources and other countries' technology. And clearly the 1mdb scandal gave a huge blow to our currency as well. We should put the best/smartest/most efficient people for gov and civil posts. If we continue to let race become a issue, we will lose our competitiveness to other countries. (Sidenote : vote wisely in every ge, how are we going to become a developed country when some of our ministers are useless/taking gaji buta every month)
@@Patroclus27 is not fair enough.... Singapore is just city.... We much bigger than them..... Yeah definitely their education much better than us.... They are definitely another level.. We are still. Developing country ......of course they win..
A great video . I came here assuming it's a video on some statistics of singapore and malaysia but I ended up learning and wanting to do more. Thank you
I can't agree more with you. If we pay enough our teacher, police, and other government servant, they would be more focused with their duties and much harder to be corrupted. Saya sangat-sangat bersetuju dengan pendapat yang telah diberikan. Kalau pekerja kerajaan dibayar dengan gaji yang sepatutnya, bukan dengan gaji cukup2 makan je, mereka akan lebih memberi perhatian terhadap kerja mereka dan lebih susah untuk 'dibeli'.
Dude, malaysian public teachers get paid a shit ton, at least compared to private sector. It may start out modest, but your income builds quickly as you gain seniority. Plus after retirement, you get a steady stipend from the government. Not only that, many public school teachers only work half day. So much so that many can even supplement their income by providing tuition services. Plus they get school holidays on top of public holidays and leaves. It’s one of the cushiest jobs in malaysia unless you get assigned to some rural area. Of course, getting all that perks still doesn’t translate to providing good education…
Malaysia and Singapore are BEYOND comparison. Why? Malaysia has lots of natural resources, yet we are almost in the red - maybe already are. We could have been the richest in this region but we are not there yet. Why? Ask the leaders who are paid by the people to represent them. Are they efficient enough to manage a country? Let's look at Singapore. They have no natural gas, and no commodities to be exported. Theoretically, they ought to be poorer but they are not. They're about the same age as us, but they continue to thrive, they don't owe the World Bank much (if any). Their education is internationally renowned. Their parliamentary sittings are mostly civilised - go and watch it. The ministers are paid over a million dollars monthly. In fact, they're among the highest paid in the world! Their president is a woman. Malaysia is 64 years old this year. We still face the same old racial, religious issues. We still have greedy blokes fighting for positions even in the midst of the pandemic! So tell me, how to move on? How to compare with Singapore? Other Asian countries like Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam are slowly but surely catching up. And when you talk too much in Malaysia, even if it's a constructive criticism, they'll mark you... or incarcerate you.
01:53. English Language teacher here. Can confirm. Was once even told by another English teacher to stop speaking English. One other teacher won't even answer if I speak English.
Oh my god....if only the Malaysian government could hear you and listen......you're so so right....especially with the teachers part...we are going downhill.....
Making money should be a routine A weak dollar can signal an economic downturn, making me to ponder on what are the best possible ways to hedge against inflation, and I've overheard people say inflation is a money-eater thus worried about my savings around $200k
As with an my big financial decision, it’s important to keep your guard’s up for economic risks. However, smart planning, time management and seeking advise from a financial adviser can help keep you and your money safe.
financial security through diligent saving and investing should be on top of everyone's priority ASAP. I really need some guidance can this Fin coach guide me in this unstable times and why do you trust them much?
I'm old enough to remember a brief time when the MYR was actually bigger than the SGD! And also remember a time when every school holidays, the MYR got smaller and smaller ... and the one fine day when SBS refused to take Malaysian coins anymore, and suddenly no one did as well!
I'm quite lucky that during my school years most of my teachers were very passionate in teaching. But I also met some who were not, some even ponteng their classes. I think the biggest complains would be: the classes should be smaller (15 should be the max [crazy, I know, but less students means the teacher can give more focus on each of them]) and the teacher should not be overburdened with paper works or tasks other than teaching. The latter seemed to be affecting so many teachers. (I don't know how it is nowadays)
Sg avg class sizes used to be 40. It has since come down to 33. This drop in numbers is not bcos that a smaller class size equals better quality of education. It’s simply bcos of our declining birth rate. The most important thing about would be the quality of the teachers
As a Singaporean, I must say that you did a very good job in researching about Singapore because the information is very accurate! Love the edits which makes this video entertaining yet educational 👍
If you’re in KL still okay can survive but if you’re in the film and tv production outside of KL, best of luck. Now working in SG and clearly have a better living standard when I was back in MY. Heck, even places like Australia, Montreal, London and Vancouver pays better and have better work life balance.
@@glenoventuresx7206 I am living my life right now lol. Being able to have the financial freedom to try all sort of things. Do we need to work harder to earn it and not based on our race and religion? yes, but it's drastic to see the difference when comparing working in KL and in SG/Sydney/Melb.
@@ikmalhafiz2865 because probably certain races that are not malay will have to work extra hard in order get certain jobs? Everyone knows that in malaysia, the malays are the "superior" race..
@@lyhthegreat They will be surprised that if they really looked into this matter that has been on-going for decades. Even Malay's that I've met overseas agreed that it's better off working overseas. Nevertheless, good to see more Malaysian's getting success they dissevered and continue to make Malaysian proud.
It really touched me and I agree how much a parent can do to help in their children education. I hope that one day you can give a Tedx talk and influence more parents to take a positive and hands-on approach in raising their kids.
Hai, i'm malaysian and i'm malay, and this is my first time watching your channel, specifically this topic, dan sy terus subscribers tanpa pikir panjang.. this is soooo good
for me you r not comparing malaysian to others, u doing the right thing which is u tell us about the truth on real situation tht malaysian facing right now. well most of them hate the truth and bein ignorance on wht they r facing rn. keep it up sir !
Adding to your points, the Government also give more subsidies to couples buying home close to their parents. Some of the social engineering that are made that I'm sure will pay off well in the long term.
If we want change, we be the change. It’s always ‘sending kids to learn overseas’ but why not make the local standard as high as the one in overseas. We also depend too much on other people, without wanting to make something of our own. And I think it’s time to see each other as Malaysian and not as races.
The young kids and millenials like me have always looked at every race as equal. But as we grow up the boomers and gen X has always been so divisive in politics, business, work, and universities. What kind of world are these oldies sending us into? A divisive world? What a sad life.
@@ikmalhafiz2865 true! IMO, we are currently living through effect of the choices that the older generation has made and if we keep turning a blind eye on the persisting problem we will end up passing the problems to the next generation.

The value of a currency goes alomg with the cost of living, does Malaysians willing to buy a car, a house or anything with 3 times the current price, a 3 room HDB can buy a modest bungalow in Malaysia or the price of 1 car in Spore can get 3 cars, I met an Ipoh family migrated to Spore, they took my Comfort Taxi, the father complain, "'in Ipoh i got 2 cars, never take a taxi, a house with some land, now in Spore cars are most expensive, i'm living between walls and my neighbours dont talk'"
This is because the public transport in Malaysia are so poor and Malaysian must have own transportation. Beside car in SG is cheap just that the paper license is expensive due to gov want to restrict the car quantity on the road. If compare living cost, definitely SG cost higher due to the rental, work ship are all in SGD. If you compare house by house, Malaysia house X3 , only the rich can afford. Even now normal salary worker are hard to own a property in town.
An ex singaporean worker living in malaysia told me this, working and living in singapore is similar to working and living in malaysia. We are only looking at the perspectives of working in singapore but living in malaysia, of course that seems much. Sure you got high quality of life living in singapore, but i prefer the freedom we have in malaysia, we can go vacation anywhere in malaysia and can't get enough, we can use vehicles older than 10 years old contrary to singapore's road law.
Thats because you lead a privileged existence in Malaysia. You won't be saying this if you're not making wages that can allow you to cope with rising cost of living.
i’m your neighbor down south with relatives up there so yeah we’re all actually family. This is like the best youtube vid i’ve watched in a long while. You’ve shown open facts which display the stark difference between MY and SG, without denying the obvious and ugly truths. I really respect your parents for what they did for you with what little they had but they did the right thing! As a red dot citizen, i’ve never actually belonged here despite having all the positive points. TBH, i find Malaysians far warmer and down to earth than their Sporean counter parts. Keep up the good work!
Great vid, bruv!! Actually the IMF published a report a few years ago on why Malaysia is not developed country in comparison with SG, South Korea and Taiwan. It actually surprised me cuz it showed that we took the 1st step but not the 2nd one. The reason highlighted in this report was that these countries focused on creating local "champions" like TSMC, Hyundai, Samsung. We did that with Proton & Perodua but what we didn't do was make them competitive internationally. I really wish at least some of our politians would read that report too :(
Hi Vignesh. Do you have the link to the report for me to read? People keep blaming solely on bumiputra policy when there's a lot of things that it's quite tiring.

The last time that Malaysia was at its peak was during the 1970s when I was a child. All the races in PJ mixed together, and we rubbed shoulders with Indians and Malays in the local coffee shops. I was in the first year when all the school subjects were in Malay as the medium of instruction. The previous year still had a mixture of England and Malay as the medium of instruction. Yet, although I was in La Salle PJ, the standard was so high, that we used to achieve good academic results. To show how good our educational system was then, and how dedicated and well-read were our local teachers, I went to a boarding school in England in the late 1970s. Although all my subjects in Malaysia had been taught in Malay, I was able to adapt to the English medium of instruction and curriculum in my new boarding school. In fact, I remember that in my first term there, I was asked if I wanted to skip one year as my English, Maths and Science subjects which I had learned in Malaysia was equivalent or better than those being taught in my English boarding school. And to those who think that my boarding school school curriculum was easy, it wasn't. We were one of the very few public schools that followed the then Oxford and Cambridge Examination Board school curriculum, which was the toughest examination board in the UK at that time. Suffice to say, it was tougher than the Cambridge Examination board that was prevalent in Malaysia at that time, and certainly, more challenging. I did well in my public school, although I was just an average student in La Salle PJ. My proudest achievement was to come first in English Language for the whole of the school's Form 5. Ahem, I took great pleasure in remarking to my English friends if they wanted me, a Malaysian, to teach them their mother tongue!
Thank you. The truth is Malaysian education is so good that it prepares you to go study everywhere. Its understanding the principles that matter. Lamguage is a means to that understanding and you are proof of it.
Grass is always greener, Singaporeans also kao pei kao bu about how it's better in (INSERT COUNTRY). Often times saying life in Singapore is so stressful, how we're all foreigner's dogs, how it's better in Australia, UK, US etc... We should all try to be grateful for what we have and just do what we can do achieve our goals. That's about it.
@@davidletterboyz For sure, it's all about perspective. But this example on Singaporeans shows a fundamental issue humans face. A noticeable number of Singaporeans who are already further up the mountain than many Malaysians by various metrics, still complain its not good enough, still feel disgruntled. It is in human nature to always desire more and forget to be grateful for what we already have.
One of the best videos you’ve made… the message at the end is trully beautiful and aspiring. Lets hope these practices are made for us and our future generation! :)

You could be a better minister yourself than the current and previous ones!! Hahahaha
Mista money for the next PM
I do agree and I personally think this is one of the greatest video you posted.
I agree . What do you think about our Defence industry and procurement
Education is critical, yes… but being a Singaporean who has spent a period of time living in Malaysia, I feel another critical factor is rule of law. Many Malaysian politicians, civil servants and even police see rule of law as an obstacle rather than as a guiding principle to create a disciplined society. For example, if someone has been convicted of a billion-dollar crime and facing other criminal charges in Singapore, there’s no way he can be walking around like a free man, taking part in politics as an MP as though nothing has happened.
In SG, an MP has to resign if he is having an affair.
In Sg, a MP took bribery. Committed suicide.
There are 3 sets of laws. One for ordinary citizens, one for politicians, and Sharia Law. Very stressfull.
@@jimw8615 Singapore's Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) has even investigated funeral parlours for bribery for having accepted red packets from their customers i.e. bereaved families wanting to thank the parlours' staff for their service (as part of a Chinese tradition/custom I think)

Same with what I'm thinking. The current admin in PH is even proposing to change the form of government to what you have here in Malaysia. But definitely it boils down to leadership! Whatever form of government you have but your leaders cannot come up with brilliant ideas to tackle governance problems, you can't still achieve a high income society.
That's unique of Malaysia. Haha
That brings back to his main point of education, as much as having the right leader is important, but having the right education system to nurture such leader is important as well.
That is why Malaysia Boleh!
Malay Singaporean here. My late dad was a blue collared worker after a failed business. But we witnessed him going to the library every other week to read, n thus we did the same. At 13 I started to get allowance weekly to teach me how to budget. N soon it became monthly allowance once i turned 15. We had to budget our transport money n makan money. N if we wanted to watch a movie w friends we had to figure out a way to adjust our budget and save. Hr also shared stories of his travels n his young days... n importance of relationships and betrayals.... so i hear u. This is applicable to all. Not just malaysians per sei. Loved the video. Kudos to u!

I am an Indonesian that used to stay in Malaysia for around 7 years for study, from Form 4.
Based on my observation the problem of Malaysia is because the government keep pushing for separation of the race. For example in Indonesia there are no such thing as "race" on any government form for that matter. Also no discount or whatsoever for bumiputra, etc for buying stuff like cars or house.
Singapore has racial distinctions too. The reason why Sg and Malaysia has this problem compared to Indonesia is because of the sheer amount of non Malays or rather non natives in both countries whereas in Indonesia the numbers are very very much lower and the foreigners who stayed in Indonesia has no problem with assimilation. For example, in Malaysia and Singapore, some portions of the Chinese population are illiterate in Bahasa and even English. I’d imagine if it happened in Indonesia, there would be some sort of racial tensions between the locals and of people not trying to conform with the rest of society in terms of language and nationalism.
@@AbuFarouq i highly doubt singapore have laws for preferential treatment of any particular race while malaysia do
@@joesr31 i wasn’t talking about laws on preferential treatment. However in practice, the government tries to maintain racial demographics through immigration and we actually do have policies that involve race.

I'm Singaporean and I want Malaysia to be just as successful as Singapore. On paper, Malaysia's resources far exceeds Singapore and have the potential to out perform Singapore's economy. My late father is Malaysian and my mother is Singaporean and I can see and appreciate the differences and struggles on both sides. There's so much we can learn from each other.
Lastly, being stuck in Singapore since this pandemic has made me miss my relatives in Malaysia a lot more. I wish everyone out there in Malaysia all the very best and that our two countries can start seeing each other again very soon. Then we can fight about who got better food all over again haha
Until then, Malaysians who do want progress, cleanliness and efficiency should try and chip away the power of the unelected, unprofessional corrupt clowns who are ruling Malaysia today. Who are stifling change and better understanding towards communities and united growth. If not, Malaysia will continue to stagnate and be the backside of Singapore. :(
@@syafsmith5085 Malaysia isn't Singapore's backside by any measure to me. Singapore and Malaysia are at this time completely different countries operating with very different layers of political, financial and societal machineries. What systems that have made Singapore what it is today may not function as easily or seamlessly in Malaysia. I agree with your opinion but I'd rather not Malaysia be just a bigger version of Singapore. It would be too boring and a little weird. I would like to see Malaysia be successful in their own way.

However, I would say Malaysia should not be compared with Singapore per se (referring to the the topic) but may learn something from their success.

At current point, Singapore is even ahead of Japan in term of GDP nominal per capita as well as HDI indicator.

Thank you!

I hope everyone will learn a thing or two in this video regardless what race you are as Malaysian. The only issue with Malaysia is the way our elderly government constantly using the racial cards in everything they are up to and send the wrong message to all, and that needs to change if we want a better Malaysia for our future generations to come.
The older generation didn't go through the problematic system that they created. It's time for a younger generation to enter politics and give out better ideas to the government.
Yes vinc I agree also but also in the video where he say he is mixing his kids with different ethics to see the bigger picture and to learn from others is from my opinion a good way to teach the future gen. To be a true malaysian
@Justice For all why so prejudice to the majority Malays..?
And you not dare to talk about malays discrimination in private sector.
As long as the government is still made up of Barisan Nasional die-hards, you can forget about a better Malaysia.
Also please engage during Parent Teacher Association meetings. If you think the school is not good in some way, voice it out so that the teachers know and push for change at a local level. Understand that teachers are humans too and listen to them when they give feedback.
Bro he is talking fact...not from his brain
You fail terribly in understanding what he said. He is mentioning the fundamentals of the malaysia school system and the way the teachers are selected. You cannot talk to the school regarding this as it is beyond their scope of responsibilities and ability. It is the government's duty. Sigh....
Can’t do that with dumb and lazy Teachers in public schools .
As a Singaporean, I'm quite fascinated when we get compared with other countries. Some of subtle things that were done without many of us noticing it where it changes our behaviour, so when others point it out it creates a better appreciation.
Singapore is a very successful county. Thanks to the leaders there. We really admire everything about the country.
As much as I would like to think our current generation are as good, they are probably not.
I totally agree with you. We were VERY lucky to have a great bunch of people leading the 1st generation ( Not just LKY. I actually put GKS above LKY). Anything less and we would still be in a hell hole.
Singaporeans ought to be thankful for what the late LKY had done for the nation. He had laid a solid foundation before he retired, so the younger generations must not ruin what he and the pioneers have built. No doubt, I heard lots of grouses among youngsters when I lived there, and I still hear them now, but which country is perfect? What I saw and experienced first hand opened my eyes. You know what shocked me the most when I first got on a bus? The Malay bus driver greeted me in English "good morning". And every bus captain does that, too. And you know what else? The bus captain assisting the wheelchair passenger up the WAB ramp while other passengers patiently waited for the front door to be opened. I've looked at Singapore differently since then. So, brother, Majulah Singapura. Don't let the young selfish ones ruin your beautiful nation.

Me as a Malaysian, what you said is true. The problem of our education starts from its roots, *leadership* and *corruption.* Not only the education but also other major problems such as defense and health system are also facing problems in this beloved country.
My mother is an experienced English teacher for 30 years. What I see from his experience is that when there is a transition of political power then the education system will also undergo some changes because of the new education minister. To me this is a big problem in the national education system.
Moreover, the development of national education is also interrupted when there is a separation of the education system based on ethnicity. Like the existence of SMK, SJK as well as the uncontrolled numbers of private schools. Like hey man, just look at Germany and Singapore, there are no schools based on ethnicity. For me that's why they are more advanced in terms of education.
For me, all changes are acceptable if they do not violate the country's constitution which can affect the harmony of Malaysia. That's just a 20 cent opinion from me. Thank you.
Uniting into one school doesn't work as long the content of teaching is still sub-par and remain the same. If the government truly impartial for improving education quality, they must keep politics and religion out of public education first and foremost, only secular value will empower education quality.
your mother is a trans? power to you bruh...
Love your video. As a Singaporean born in the 1980s, I would say we take a lot of what our forefathers did for granted. Thanks for pointing out their intentions here.
in my opinion, all races should attend the same school since kindergarten, primary school. If they cant play and study together, how do you think they can work together when they are older???
sure, thats a good idea as long as that education system in those schools are also competent and effective. i think we all know how poorly most of sekolah kebangsaan education culture is.

First time watching your video. Found your video of good quality and content. My family migrated from malacca to Singapore in the 80s, I remember travelling back and forth during the cny period to visit relatives in malacca. Althought I'm a Singaporean now, i wish for Malaysia to flourish the same as Singapore. There are certainly problems in Singapore too, such as the numerous rules and stress level, but its because we are in such comfort zone we tend to take what we have for granted.
As a father of a 3 year old son, I like your tips on how to give him the right exposure early on in life. We have already mapped out which school we want to send him and what sort of exposture we want him to have.

Thanks Patrick!
Pat, stress is self-imposed. The pressure on your kids will look like it's from the teachers and peers, but the truth is it comes from the parents. As a parent, you decide whether your kid gets stressed. You can dictate from K1 whether you want them to get into the rat race or enjoy a great childhood. I have 4 kids. 2 are in Uni and 2 are in secondary school. I made sure that they slept by 8pm until at least Sec 2. It's all about balancing work and play. They are expected to complete their homework, but if, on some days, they come back around 6pm, I tell them that they still have to sleep at 8pm and that they won't need to do their homework. (It's only the dumbass teacher who gives so much homework that they have to stay up till 10pm, anyway). When questioned - my kids know how to tell the teacher that Daddy said to go sleep and that they should take it up with me.
You decide how much stress your kids get, not their peers and not their teachers. (or society, for that matter). You decide.

@@nadzirah8132 T.T so touching, I do hope everyone can be as open minded as you.

This will improve country's economy and financial stability. After all, a good country is a country with productive workforce. Only by sharpening our own tools, then we can produce perfect works.
If Sarawak and Sabah were an independent country and join with Singapore when she exited from Malaysia in 1965, today this country would be the Dubai of South East Asia. The volume of oil and gas in these two states are easily 100 times more than Brunei. Look at Brunei today. They made a right choice of not joining Malaya in 1963. This clearly explained how much money has been stolen from the national coffer of Malaysia. The pathetic truth is most people are sleeping and ignorance.

Hats off for producing such a great video.Its eye opening that we are left behind and need to buck up.
some of my most unpleasant cultural experiences in Malaysia stem from issues of laziness, slyness and inertness that was coupled with a sense of entitlement from not having the pressure to do better.
it was common for people to lie to you, from sales people to government officials, to make up fake narratives to cover up, and even sometimes do gentle coercion, like playing victim or buat kesian on themselves to just avoid having to do, what is literally their vocation or job. it is even worse when they are in a position where others depend on the quality of their service, because it made them feel "more important" but also less incline to be of service due this very one power dynamic.
while we have the larger problems like governance and corruption, on the basic human end, this is what I observed and experienced. of course, not all Malaysians are like this, but majority. the culture difference was so great that I often need to "reset" my expectations, especially if I had to work or interact with Malaysians in a business or professional level.
culturally, there is also a tendency to blame others instead of taking accountability and improving to avoid similar outcomes. we can clearly see this in the gross emotional investment in local celebrity culture, online kecam-mengecam, and in the Covid19 pandemic response.
and yet after travelling around china meeting relatives namawee don't want to go back to china...your point? Just because you are a fool dont put the blame on others. Stop blaming others for your own incompetence. Stop feeling entitle to free land for musang king.

i can vouch for that especially coming from rural school i’ve went to..the quality of teachers,types of learning aids are average at best in comparison to our cluster schools counterparts which is sad when such educational divisions does happen in modern world
My grandmother was a teacher, she spoke very fluent English but she was actually teaching math. Back then teachers were highly regarded and look up to.

One thing I really enjoy about Singapore is community libraries. They are in almost every neighbourhood. It is so easy to visit one and borrow books and read. In Malaysia¿ You are lucky to find one library in the whole township. Where I live, we have one public library that hasn't been expanded ever since it was built. I may have found it adequate as a kid but the last time I visited as an adult, I realized how small it actually is. Reading really is a good habit to have, helps hone comprehension skills and critical thinking, things many people lack nowadays
Malaysia isn't a developed country so that's expected.
as a singaporean, i suddenly feel guilty of not appreciating my community library...........
Don't forget - you can get food in almost every corner. :-)
In Malaysia, the libraries are ideal place to shoot horror movies.
Library and ample space (used for soccer field) were important in every community 30 years ago. Those have been places for integrated society. Sadly, today you can see any space available will be convert to development areas and fail to keep minimim spaces to allow kids playing among themselves safely.
I really enjoyed watching this video. Full of hard truths and presented in the most respectful and clear way for a RUclips video. Terbaik!
The main reason is because Malaysia government place emphasis on relationship, race and protecting the status quo. The results we see today is the effort of six decades of works to uphold the status rather then focusing on meritocracy. Is really sad we have such nice country but with bad leadership over so many years that causes the whole nation to fall so far behind. Sad to say that.
i dont think Malaysians of diversity fancy of applying public servant jobs other than teacher
Well when you compare with Hindu India government do you want to go back to India? Such a nice country with taj mahal and nuclear power.. so your own country is backward until no tamils want to go back.Doesn't that say something?
So sad until chinese don't want to go back to china? So sad until telegus or tamils dont want to go back to bankrap Sri Langka or India? hmm your sadness is saddening hehe
Just protecting the status quo, while other races can get rich. Meritocracy still exist. Whats your point?
@@wizzyi3862I'm baffled. Malaysian Chinese are Malaysian, and many Malaysian Chinese truly love Malaysia, and the culture it entails. Most Chinese or Indians who are affected by quotas are the ones who rely on their hard work to enter public universities, meaning they are poor, and you expect poor people to move to entirely different country? Even the average M-40 person would struggle trying to move to a new place. That statement completely lack empathy and regard for the fact that Indians and Chinese are humans too. Anyone could have very well been born as a Chinese or Indian person, we do not get to choose, and then pay the price for literally only the colour of our skin.
Truly inspired by your parents. And yes, our parents did their best with what they have. Indeed education is very important, because with education, it changes our perspective in things and how we behave in a society. SG have that advantage, but I believe MY can be as good. 👍🏻👍🏻
We certainly can! :) let’s make Malaysia a better place together 😉
it starts from u ppl bro. We minorities cant really do much, we wanted to make progressive changes but it is always hindered by some with agenda and calling it too liberal. Of course, they will bring out islam. Thats why Islam is so cheapen by these hypocrites in Malaysia, and they claimed to be protector of Islam and uphold Islam.

Lee Kuan Yew and Malaysia could not agree on 1 Major point back in 1965, Lee Kuan Yew said he wanted to make it so everyone has Equal Opportunity and same level playing field.
but Malaysia wanted to give Malays an advantage over others.
it was one of the things they couldn't agree on, and i think this rule is also what makes Singapore attractive to foreigner investors and foreign talents.
@Yazid Muhammad Yes. You got a point here. Chinese are generally more well-equipped with business mindset which is mainly why they can create and grasp every opportunity to survive and thrive. But what about those who don't? If you even have the slightest common sense, you should understand that not EVERY chinese is destined to become a future business magnate or Ivy League graduate you know. Can you even imagine how hard it will be for this group to make a living out there in the M'sian society where inequality prevails weirdly like a norm? Let alone the Indian community.
This comment section seems more interesting than the rest. But here's the thing. Why is the Malay community is kinda still poor despite having privileges? Like in over decades of independence and special privileges, why didn't the government come up with effective ways to really make the majority race more wealthier? Why many of them are still depending on quota systems and such for better life? Are the people in power not competent enough or was it on purpose? I don't have any proof or anything but I really feel like it's little bit of both but it's mostly the second one.
The Malaysian Malays still don't get the points. Govt policies should be given to the POOR and under-privileged! The "disguised" policies in Malaysia are just only to make the rich Malays richer!
@Yazid Muhammad 1) Minority citizen have more wealth. Yes. But mind you that those are self-made. There is a reason behind why they are able to succeed despite that many odds that they have to face in M'sia due to them having a "not very favorable" skin tone. You should read about the stories of how they get from rags to riches and all the hardships they went through.
2) First and foremost, by thinking about wanting to not have to learn Chinese as yet another privilege in your long list of all other privileges, I'm certain with you that it only makes things difficult for you even if employers take back that language requirement. Why? Because it is just as essential as it is needed to be listed as a job requirement. Top managements/hr/manager/colleagues will be using that language for clear communication and you're now telling your future boss to ditch their language to make things easier for you? A small worker? No offence but dream on, big baby.
When you are faced with job requirements like that, as a mature job-seeker, the only thing that should come to your mind is how you should manage your time and use the learning opportunities that are accessible to you to your advantage to learn that language. Who do you think you are to demand employers to always make everything easy for you? If you want every boss you meet to tell you "You can have whatever you want in my company, make yourself at home", then I can only tell you that you will never succeed. As a non-native English Speaker, we know from a young age that English is not going away anytime soon and is the key to greater employability even in M'sia. What we think of right after that is only how long we still have to learn and master that language before our proficiency have to be put to test when we have to kickstart out career, not how we can suppress the government/criticize English users to use Malay language instead.
3) as a matter of fact, Temasek used to be ruled under Lee Kuan Yew. Yes. But Singapore was NOT "given" to him as a "present from Malaya" but instead that tiny island was very much, his. And as another fact, that land had never been that rich ( Do you think those Malaya leaders would ever let Singapore get out of Malaya if it were to have tons of natural resources? ). Lee Kuan Yew is the only hero behind SIngapore's prosperity as of today, so now you wanna say they should thank you for what they have today? Then you should think back about what you have contributed to singapore when they were still developing. And let me tell you, it was nothing.
@Yazid Muhammad And as another matter of fact, this land has NEVER been, a property of your ancestors. You don't even know where your ancestors come from? Have some common sense, dude. And if this land is really that attached to you, then as a NATIVE M'sian, it's really ridiculous and weird in the eyes of others for you to know nothing about local history as well as where M'sians are actually from. In short, you know too little to start a debate, judging by how many FACTS I have to tell you so maybe you should learn to take back your vulnerable ego and learn to appreciate all the exclusive opportunities you get that others dont, just because you look like you do.
Thank you very much for sharing this story with us. I have to admit i learned english the same way you did, through the television and that really helped a lot i mean A LOT. Although the part when you spoke about how your dad actually shared his life experience is something i wish my dad would be more open to sharing. Yes, i've seen the ups and downs with my family but when the going gets tough he doesn't really share it with us. Trust me he had it all going on when i was much younger but still having a driven mindset to be successful can hamper certain family up bringings. Hence, my advise is to share the problems and mistakes we made in our lives because we can learn from it rather than actually go through it firsthand. Thank You Mr Money, your videos are truly inspiring especially for me who i believe is currently underpaid even when i'm working for a bank. It truly is not the best state to be young and living in KL.
The difference is Lee Kuan Yew. That smart, stubborn, pugilistic, anti-British authoritarian who birthed a first-world nation from a resourceless, Straits of Malacca swamp. Because of him, I have more qualifications than I care to count or have use for, and have led a life of intellectual curiosity and discovery. I thank Mr Lee - warts and all- for this endowment.
To say Singapore is a resource less swamp is not entirely correct. The British left Singapore with the most developed ports in the region and out of all Straits Settlements, most resources are focused to build Singapore.
Singapore doesn't have to fight communist insurgents like Malaysia do during the Malayan Emergency, they had this easier in this part. Whereas communist insurgents made infrastructure development in Malaysia far more difficult than it needed to be.
@@edmundtaiping Singapore is no longer resourceless. It was. It now has human capital. You have to admit, Singapore is hardly a fount of natural resources. Even LKY acknowledged this.
But my point is that the prime driver of national success was LKY. He would have succeeded , regardless of Singapore's resource inventory.
@@edmundtaiping You need to go back to your history books. Singapore did fight communist insurgents, the only thing not gun fights in the jungle.
@@caiwutian2493 hence I said they had it easier in this part. The smaller size made them easier in counter communist insurgency early on, and not much fighting is involved. They don't have to spent millions developing infrastructure destroyed by insurgents, nor they need to relocate people around to keep them away from communist influence and threats.
Yes, they did fought communist insurgents, I should made it clear in my original comment on how they got it easier.
Where have you been all this while? Malaysia needs more from you and more of you! I’m Singaporean and fully support your ideas and contributions to Malaysia.
So that one day Malaysia will see its total dominance helmed by the Chinese, disregarding the majority because they are not superior. Oh, that is what I thought when seeing you guys buddy2 with each other.

Racist like u who actually screw up this country
As a Malay singaporean, I agree on all of your points. My view on Malaysia is that the Malay first ideology is what holding them back,I believe that what caused the stagnation in Malaysian Malays. Example the lack of initiative to learn and upgrade.Too many times when I’m in jb, I will find Malays youth hanging around or working dead end jobs. while Malaysian Chinese & Indian are thriving by working in Singapore because the lack of opportunities in Malaysia. Because they had found most entry level job is better in sg is better because of the pay and exchange rate. As person I love sg and Malaysia, I want them to prosper, but there major changes needed which will take some time to bear fruit.
Thank you for sharing with us your thoughts :)
I was about to say to same but you put it nicely- the "Malay first" ideology. This ideology was carried to the extreme during Mahadir's time to the point that it suppressed the progress of non-Malay, deprived them of opportunities. This led to the brain-trained of many non-Malays. Even some Malays were fed-up and left. The ideal situation was that all races rise up together. During Najib's tenure, as corrupted as he was, many opportunities were given to non-Malays to survive including attending the local universities.
Well, a lot of Singaporeans take it for granted. Most do not know how blessed they are having their type of politicians compared to the one in Malaysia. For e.g. a lot Singaporeans criticized SG govt on the way they manage the Covid-19 crisis.
In Malaysia, when we compare Malaysia with Singapore, some will tell us to migrate to Singapore if not happy with Malaysia.
It is true that a lot of teachers now are not a teacher by ambition. Most are forced to take it by the local university placement program (UPU). Teaching is not even in their list of choices.
IMO its just inherently Singaporean's habit to complain. They complain about anything and love to complain about the government the most. I have a friend that complain about the gov all the time but ended up voting for the incumbent 😂
That is normal ..
No la, Singaporeans really like to blame politicians, but realize it is better than whole lot of Malaysia's. It kinda like hobby.
But, at least if MRT breakdown SGs know to put responsibility to the line directors. Malaysia hujan turun banyak pun salahkan politician, salahkan Tuhan.
well said! alot famous people regardless youtubers,stars , etc dont dare to touch these kind of topic as they scare might be too sensitive and backfire from their fans. but this is the hard truth. either we accept and advance together or we deny it and advance back to stone age.
Great thinking and We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided ...
I feel that education in Borneo Malaysia is the closest to unity. Because all students from different backgrounds come to the same SMK. And private vernacular schools are limited and not everywhere so parents have no choice. Even though we all came from different primary schools, but I feel it is easier to communicate with my Chinese or iban friends. Less awkward, I feel like I can really befriend them. But idk why in the Malaysia Peninsula this is still a thing. Perhaps my life in Borneo is more communal and our community is inclusive to all races so it doesn't feel awkward at all to speak to other races, if that's what you call it. IMO, Sarawakians are Sarawakians. Because we all live life the same. Chinese don't feel segregated in SK, Malay don't feel segregated in SJK. Iban as majority(I mean dayak but in my hometown iban is majority) can choose SJK or SK. And my parents also prioritize importance of reading. Although I never go to local library, but when my father and I went to bookstore, we would buy dozens of books and make them our collection. Even I myself have my own collection. Anyway, in conclusion, we must unite under the same education system and please read a lot or else you stuck with your ignorance.
The problem is that SJKCs are outperforming SKs. If we close the SJKCs, then everybody would think this is just a case of cutting down all the tall poppies. Levelling down instead of up. We would catch up faster with Myanmar instead of Singapore.
The solution seems simple to me. Maybe I am being simplistic. But if we were to just push more Malay and Indian kids into the SJKCs, then the SJKCs can become the melting pot where everybody mixes with everybody. They all end up learning Mandarin. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Bring back English SMs.
@@danielch6662 it's either to shed a bit off ethnicity by mixing the people for economic purposes or to stay with racial-based people that would lead to disharmony and ethnocentrism
@@akmalrusydi2730 mixing citizens are the ultimate endgame strategy for a truly united Malaysia, yes I mean assimilation. But before we can overhaul our education system to make national school's qualities and teaching standards to be on par with vernacular or private schools, I don't support the abolishment of vernacular schools. I've been to SJKC and SMK, to me the qualities between these two are huge. National schools need to step up their game.
Pssstt.... Don't talk about SJKC. Some people might get sensitive. Lol

Regardless what race you are, you should definitely agree that education is essential in shaping our country’s future especially in terms of improving our country. I would not 100% agree with your point about IPG students since my IPG friends are very passionate about the things they’re learning (and will be teaching).
What we need is systemic change to cure the root cause of this issue. What we CAN do right now is teach our own young ones, just like your parents did. 🙌 just my dua kupang

Love this video! I’ve always believed if we want better Malaysia we need to start from our kids. As a millenials, I think our generation realize how far we’ve been left behind. So we don’t want the same happens to our kids. Hence, best way is to start now.
Yes let’s make the difference with our own actions starting with our own family.
The number one difference is one is Chinese majority, which is culturally more education and money oriented.
OMG that's also what my mom did for me when I was young too!! only watched English cartoons & movies and bring me to national library and the state library to lend books & VCDs 😍 yes and I've always thought that was the reason I'm better at English than my peers 😍
So much positivity from a Malaysian 🇲🇾 Hope for the best future for our country
You missed a very important component - Singapore’s National Service - with 2 years plus 7 years of reserve training. By mixing all units not only did we learn to live together but think as Singaporeans and what is good for us. By mixing in the HDB flats we no longer view other races with suspicion. Sure racism still exist but far less. Also National Service only affects the males so to some extent there is still some discord. My 2 cents worth. Malaysian citizens deserve a better govt. As long as Malaysians still think in terms of race, have political parties that are racially aligned then unity is just a dream. It is up to the Malays in Malaysia to change this. As for the Bumiputra policy, if after 6 decades it does not work what on earth makes anyone believe it will work in the future. And more importantly how can non bumiputras feel that they are citizens with an equal stake. I wish Malaysians the best and must say they are lovely people. Keep the best bits and improve in what you can and when you can. Don’t waste time.
Hello tamils I think Singporean deserve a better government. Singapore is the most fatigued country in the world...

One thing about countries(japan, south korea, taiwan, singapore) without natural resources, they invest heavily on human capital and education. Malaysia is stuck in the middle income category because we depend a lot on our natural resources and other countries' technology. And clearly the 1mdb scandal gave a huge blow to our currency as well. We should put the best/smartest/most efficient people for gov and civil posts. If we continue to let race become a issue, we will lose our competitiveness to other countries.
(Sidenote : vote wisely in every ge, how are we going to become a developed country when some of our ministers are useless/taking gaji buta every month)
In short, the Malay majority refuse to improve themselves and are constantly jealous of the Chinese economic success
The main difference is that all teachers in Singapore has a minimum of 7A in GCE O level whereas only 5% in Malaysia has 7A.

Saya sangat-sangat bersetuju dengan pendapat yang telah diberikan. Kalau pekerja kerajaan dibayar dengan gaji yang sepatutnya, bukan dengan gaji cukup2 makan je, mereka akan lebih memberi perhatian terhadap kerja mereka dan lebih susah untuk 'dibeli'.
ya ni memang patut. I kesian kakitangan kerajaan yang duduk di KL dan gaji rendah. Pastu yang tak buat kerja tu dapat gaji tinggi tinggi.
Dude, malaysian public teachers get paid a shit ton, at least compared to private sector. It may start out modest, but your income builds quickly as you gain seniority. Plus after retirement, you get a steady stipend from the government. Not only that, many public school teachers only work half day. So much so that many can even supplement their income by providing tuition services. Plus they get school holidays on top of public holidays and leaves. It’s one of the cushiest jobs in malaysia unless you get assigned to some rural area. Of course, getting all that perks still doesn’t translate to providing good education…

Malaysia and Singapore are BEYOND comparison. Why? Malaysia has lots of natural resources, yet we are almost in the red - maybe already are. We could have been the richest in this region but we are not there yet. Why? Ask the leaders who are paid by the people to represent them. Are they efficient enough to manage a country? Let's look at Singapore. They have no natural gas, and no commodities to be exported. Theoretically, they ought to be poorer but they are not. They're about the same age as us, but they continue to thrive, they don't owe the World Bank much (if any). Their education is internationally renowned. Their parliamentary sittings are mostly civilised - go and watch it. The ministers are paid over a million dollars monthly. In fact, they're among the highest paid in the world! Their president is a woman. Malaysia is 64 years old this year. We still face the same old racial, religious issues. We still have greedy blokes fighting for positions even in the midst of the pandemic! So tell me, how to move on? How to compare with Singapore? Other Asian countries like Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam are slowly but surely catching up. And when you talk too much in Malaysia, even if it's a constructive criticism, they'll mark you... or incarcerate you.
Thailand is the next singapore, malaysia and indonesia can suck it as long as there are muslims and malays around.

Yup, me as a Malaysian trying to make ends meet in SG. Soon to be SG PR as mine approved.
Well Said with great facts. We'll together make this a better place one day!
I'm quite lucky that during my school years most of my teachers were very passionate in teaching. But I also met some who were not, some even ponteng their classes.
I think the biggest complains would be: the classes should be smaller (15 should be the max [crazy, I know, but less students means the teacher can give more focus on each of them]) and the teacher should not be overburdened with paper works or tasks other than teaching. The latter seemed to be affecting so many teachers. (I don't know how it is nowadays)
Sg avg class sizes used to be 40. It has since come down to 33.
This drop in numbers is not bcos that a smaller class size equals better quality of education. It’s simply bcos of our declining birth rate.
The most important thing about would be the quality of the teachers

The value of a currency goes alomg with the cost of living, does Malaysians willing to buy a car, a house or anything with 3 times the current price, a 3 room HDB can buy a modest bungalow in Malaysia or the price of 1 car in Spore can get 3 cars, I met an Ipoh family migrated to Spore, they took my Comfort Taxi, the father complain, "'in Ipoh i got 2 cars, never take a taxi, a house with some land, now in Spore cars are most expensive, i'm living between walls and my neighbours dont talk'"
Well how much is that Ipoh family income? Purchasing power is another thing. Some expensive items in Malaysia are considered cheap for Singaporean.
This is because the public transport in Malaysia are so poor and Malaysian must have own transportation. Beside car in SG is cheap just that the paper license is expensive due to gov want to restrict the car quantity on the road. If compare living cost, definitely SG cost higher due to the rental, work ship are all in SGD. If you compare house by house, Malaysia house X3 , only the rich can afford. Even now normal salary worker are hard to own a property in town.
thank you for sharing yr story, very honest, inspiring & useful
Brother speak nothing but facts here. Thank you for the great insight.
An ex singaporean worker living in malaysia told me this, working and living in singapore is similar to working and living in malaysia. We are only looking at the perspectives of working in singapore but living in malaysia, of course that seems much.
Sure you got high quality of life living in singapore, but i prefer the freedom we have in malaysia, we can go vacation anywhere in malaysia and can't get enough, we can use vehicles older than 10 years old contrary to singapore's road law.
If you are going to only look at things superficially, of course everything will seem to be the same.
Quit your bullshit lol.
Thats because you lead a privileged existence in Malaysia. You won't be saying this if you're not making wages that can allow you to cope with rising cost of living.

Great vid, bruv!! Actually the IMF published a report a few years ago on why Malaysia is not developed country in comparison with SG, South Korea and Taiwan. It actually surprised me cuz it showed that we took the 1st step but not the 2nd one.

We did that with Proton & Perodua but what we didn't do was make them competitive internationally. I really wish at least some of our politians would read that report too :(

The last time that Malaysia was at its peak was during the 1970s when I was a child. All the races in PJ mixed together, and we rubbed shoulders with Indians and Malays in the local coffee shops. I was in the first year when all the school subjects were in Malay as the medium of instruction. The previous year still had a mixture of England and Malay as the medium of instruction. Yet, although I was in La Salle PJ, the standard was so high, that we used to achieve good academic results.
To show how good our educational system was then, and how dedicated and well-read were our local teachers, I went to a boarding school in England in the late 1970s. Although all my subjects in Malaysia had been taught in Malay, I was able to adapt to the English medium of instruction and curriculum in my new boarding school. In fact, I remember that in my first term there, I was asked if I wanted to skip one year as my English, Maths and Science subjects which I had learned in Malaysia was equivalent or better than those being taught in my English boarding school.
And to those who think that my boarding school school curriculum was easy, it wasn't. We were one of the very few public schools that followed the then Oxford and Cambridge Examination Board school curriculum, which was the toughest examination board in the UK at that time. Suffice to say, it was tougher than the Cambridge Examination board that was prevalent in Malaysia at that time, and certainly, more challenging. I did well in my public school, although I was just an average student in La Salle PJ. My proudest achievement was to come first in English Language for the whole of the school's Form 5. Ahem, I took great pleasure in remarking to my English friends if they wanted me, a Malaysian, to teach them their mother tongue!
Thank you. The truth is Malaysian education is so good that it prepares you to go study everywhere. Its understanding the principles that matter. Lamguage is a means to that understanding and you are proof of it.
thank you for the eye-opener content. sangat menarik dan kritikan yang sangat membina
Grass is always greener, Singaporeans also kao pei kao bu about how it's better in (INSERT COUNTRY). Often times saying life in Singapore is so stressful, how we're all foreigner's dogs, how it's better in Australia, UK, US etc... We should all try to be grateful for what we have and just do what we can do achieve our goals. That's about it.
There's always a mountain higher than them. But let's face it. Singapore right now is pretty damn high.
@@davidletterboyz For sure, it's all about perspective. But this example on Singaporeans shows a fundamental issue humans face. A noticeable number of Singaporeans who are already further up the mountain than many Malaysians by various metrics, still complain its not good enough, still feel disgruntled. It is in human nature to always desire more and forget to be grateful for what we already have.
Honestly education and university should be on merit not by quota or to one race then only improvement would be there
well said bro,,like it!!!
