There’s a great deal the White West could learn from Singapore.

Very true. I learned a lot from my time in Singapore about how a country can be run efficiently and properly – and how a population can be turned into a bunch of complacent, obedient drones, too.

Two Brits who grew up there referred to it as a Totalitarian Ethnostate Golf Club.

That’s basically true. Even so, Singapore is still vastly preferable to Dubai. That, too, is a totalitarian ethnostate golf club, but they go to greater pains to hide the totalitarian realities. The downside of this is that WHEN – not if – the totalitarian nature of the place comes back to bite you, the snapback is much worse.

I don’t much care for the Chinese way of doing things, personally. But at least in Singapore they aren’t a bunch of 7th-Century camel-humping barbarians at heart.

Malaysia itself is also deeply interesting to visit. One of the few functioning multicultural environments with strong and official dividing lines between the races.

Yep. I’ve been there a number of times, and you are correct. They don’t even TRY to hide the dividing lines between Malays, Indians, Chinese, and everyone else – which is probably one of the reasons why it sort of works.

I was once in a Singaporean restaurant and overheard the funniest reference.
