"How dare you say Islam is a violent religion? I'll kill you for it" is not exactly the best way to go about refuting the charge. But of course, refuting is not the point here. The point is intimidation.

As developers such as Bukit Sembawang Estates and Wing Tai Holdings tear down blocks that are just a few decades old, some critics argue that a relatively young nation such as Singapore, which became independent in 1965, should start to cherish its modern landmarks and recent heritage.

Malaysia can do without scathing comments from its neighbours, especially if the statements made are inaccurate and have political implications, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.

What Lee Kuan Yew said is true and non-Malays in this country know that it is true. The current leadership's trend is to deny the very obvious and spew contrarian views.

The Singaporean leaders do not opress the natives of their island state, but they blatantly uproot the natives from their history and culture.

Why did you abaondon the non-Bumis? You fought so hard for a Malaysian Malaysia then you abandon us like that. And while Singapore surged far ahead, you left us behind.
