Aren't we good neighbours?
Have you made any negative or sarcastic remarks about Singaporeans?
Well, keep the answer to yourself.
For many years, we have labelled Singaporeans as 'kiasu' (scared to lose), without realising that this is a rather common universal trait.
We tend to stamp them as easily going astray and not being law-abiding the moment they step out of the island, judging from the way they drive and dispose of rubbish in Malaysia, without realising how scary our very own figures of road deaths and worsening pollution cases can be.
Those who envy the strong Singapore dollar will remark on how vain those Singaporeans are when spending their money in Johor Baru, without realising we are no better off when holidaying in Thailand or Indonesia.
So what! Isn't the Causeway still choked with vehicles every morning. Are we not still sending our children to schools in the island state, and seeing workers flock to the republic and coming back with a smile from the money-changing outlets?
Sometimes, we need to pause and examine ourselves.
Are these negative or sarcastic remarks made out of envy, jealousy or is that the way we were brought up to treat foreigners?
Forget about how Singapore separated from Malaysia as not many may be interested in history, although I am sure many are surprised by how Singapore has transformed itself in about 40 years, considering the country's lack of natural resources.
Sometimes, I wonder how prosperous the Johor Baru economy would be without the high spending power and investments of those Singaporeans.
The retail, entertainment and food sectors in Johor Baru have generally flourished and businessmen really have Singaporean visitors and tourists to thank.
Because of the Singapore factor, Johor Baru has become a migrant city with people from all over the country, including Kelantanese, Sabahans and Sarawakians, looking for greener pastures here.
Then, again, some hop to the republic, as the lure of the dollar is too hard to resist.
Singapore is like a magnet. While attracting capable people into the so-called 'global city of opportunity', with ample job opportunities and competitive pay, it also draws negative remarks from its close neighbours.
We can learn many things from the republic which is known for its highly efficient public administration, and an integral part of its success is also probably due to its 'kiasu' approach of its people.
After all, in the eyes of the world, Singapore itself is already a brand name.
In order to position ourselves on the global platform and strive to gain the competitive edge, we probably have no other choice but to be even more 'kiasu' to succeed.
So perhaps we should refrain from being too cynical about our neighbour from the other side of the Causeway. As the adage goes: Prosper, thy neighbour. -
