Commentary: Don’t Always Look Down On Our Neighbours And Keep Thinking That Our System Is The Best

A Singaporean friend who moved to Kuala Lumpur and sent his children to a Malaysian government school once asked me “Am I doing the right thing? Is it ok for my children to be educated in Malaysia?”

My answer to him then was “Do you know that almost half of our pilots are from Malaysia? Why do they trust Malaysians who have been educated in Malaysia to fly our multi-million dollar planes, if their education system is so bad? And do you realise that many in our Singapore civil service, including some ministers are, or used to be Malaysians, who had their primary education in Malaysian schools?”

Think about it…don’t always look down on our neighbours and keep thinking that our system is the best. Mainstream media carry fake news too, especially for political propaganda.
