Malaysia intends to claim Singapore dishes as its own
-
Not content with robbing Indonesia blind of its cultural heritage, it appears the goons in Malingsia have set their sights on us.

KUALA LUMPUR - MALAYSIA will lay claim to its signature dishes like laksa and chicken rice which are being 'hijacked' by other countries, the tourism minister said according to a report on Thursday.
Those on the list include the fragrant coconut milk rice 'nasi lemak', spicy soup noodle 'laksa' and pork ribs herbal soup 'bak kut teh', Tourism Minister Ng Yen Yen said according to The Star newspaper.
'We cannot continue to let other countries hijack our food. Chili crab is Malaysian. Hainanese chicken rice is Malaysian. We have to lay claim to our food,' she was quoted as saying.
'In the next three months, we will identify certain key dishes (to declare as Malaysian). We have identified laksa... all types of laksa, nasi lemak and bak kut teh,' she added.
Ms Ng said her ministry will announce a strategy on how to brand the dishes as Malaysian.
'That is Part Two. We cannot reveal it yet, but we will let you know soon,' she reportedly said.
Ms Ng did not name which countries were hijacking the dishes, which are popular around the world and particularly in neighbouring Singapore and Indonesia.
Her comments came amid a diplomatic row with Indonesia, where protesters have accused Malaysia of stealing its cultural heritage.
The dispute erupted in Indonesia in August after erroneous reports emerged that Malaysia had screened tourism advertiseme nts featuring the traditional 'pendet' dance of Indonesia's Hindu-majority Bali island.
The ad was actually a promotion for a Discovery Channel programme, but despite an apology from the network, protesters vowing to 'crush Malaysia' have burned national flags and thrown rotten eggs at the embassy in Jakarta.
Malaysian Foreign Minister Anifah Aman will meet his Indonesian counterpart Hassan Wirajuda in Jakarta on Thursday in a bid to cool the tensions which Malaysia has described as a 'grave concern'.
Ties between the two countries are regularly punctuated by rows over cultural issues as well as the welfare of Indonesian labourers and maids working in Malaysia. -- AF
And what does your average Malaysian think of the matter? Does he acknowledge Singapore's equal claim to our shared heritage?

dear mat indogsia,(typo there,seriusly)
it's really immature to claim arts that our ancestors shared as solely theirs.i mean,look at malaysia and singapore.singapore basically inherit every single traditional culture from malaysia and yet they claimed that it's originally comes from singapore-the best proof is a travelling program at Asian Food channel.It's clearly written at the signboard "ampang something2"(dont remember la,somekind of food),yet they dare to 'say only in singapore'.this is only one of the many things singapore claim to own when it's actually known to come from malaysia.
and did Malaysia call bad names to singapore?NO! it's such a waste of time.arts and cultures are universal,just because it comes from your land,that doesnt give us the least of right to enjoy it as well.
if you want to say that we stole your batik,then why not claim that to hawaii too?
and about addressing your country indon.indon doesnt even mean anything,so why would you get offended by that?and what makes you all mightier than thou to demand us adding 'n' to that?
no wonder you guys steal,rob,rape,kill,fight among yourselves and harassing our peace in here.
turns out that your definition of maling is 'to share arts and culture'.
oohh..patutlahAre we going to take this lying down? Wake up, Singapore. Malaysians have and will always regard us as their inferiors. It is folly to think that this mentality is only in their government, and that the average Malaysian has any particular love for us, when in fact he despises us as kiasu, arrogant and expects us to give deference to him as the abang.

people still get robbed and their garmen is stil blatantly corrupt

Taiwan should quickly take back their insufferable "hums" from Singapore that pretend to be pathetic angels working behind bars.

This type of passive, smug superiority gives Malaysians the idea that they can continue to push Singapore around. Our southern neighbors have already shown that they won't put up with this kind of nonsense from the scum up north. How long before we Singaporeans find our balls and put our foot down?
-
maybe after senile bastard lee is dead, singapore can merge back with malaysia to resolve this problem.
I hope it happens soon, before singapore turns to province of China in next decade.

Your attempts to turn this into a partisan issue are ineffectual. Singaporeans should come together regardless of politcal persuasion to defend our national identity.
Also, that you are willing to trade even the worst of Singaporean government for the communal apartheid of Malaysia speaks volumes.

When LKY stop misleading everyone that the Pledge is only an aspiration, and start acting on the OATH that he made with The PLEDGE on every 9 August -When the Government stop feeling insecure and return to ALL Singaporeans - our Rights to assemble in Public Place and express ourselves in any form of non-violent expressions -
When this Government begin to trust in the collective Wisdom of 3.2 Million Citizens compared to the handful of his selected elitist talents -
When this Government practices what it expects from Singaporeans -
Perhaps Singaporeans will truly believe in all the hoooopla on every 9 August and make a strong stand for ourselves.
-
what they are trying to say is that Singapore is nothing but a part of malaysia.
singapore is malaysia; malaysia is singapore.
senile bastard lee maybe sees singapore as province of china, i not sure.

The Malaysian descendants from Yunnan Province must now have accepted that the Hainanese roots of ex-PM Badawi will qualify them to the claim of Hainanese Chicken Rice. -

is Ng Yen Yen descendents from Yunnan? ex-PM Aquino also have Chinese roots and I wonder what the Philippinos would be qualified to claim from China.for that matter, all Chinese in Malaysia, Thailand, ....who came from China , or whose roots are traced to China, can also make a claim, at anything.
I guess it doesn't cost anything to make a claim, but when you lose it to the original owner, you lose your face. The Hainanese from Hainan haven't spoken yet.
Malaysian never learn.
