G'Day, Encik Othman,

After reading so many news and replies that you have posted on this newsgroup,
I really have to remind you that it's not wise trying to stir up the racial
tensions between Chinese & Malays. I am a Chinese and am very lucky to have
many Malay friends "unlike" you. 

As for the custody of the two children, let the Prince and his former wife
fight, why fight among us? Why fight in this newsgroup? I would certainly
like to see more "information" from home country rather than this pointless
fight.

Thank you for all the _entertainment_ you guys have provided over the past
weeks......

Myanmar (aka Burma), Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia participate in the South
East Asian Games (SEA Games) that is held once every two years.  The SEA
Games Federation is a separate entity from ASEAN.  Ideally, I'd say that 
the SEAGF should be an entity under ASEAN, but not until the membership
in both organizations are regularized.

Anyway, the 4 countries did not join ASEAN back in 1967 for obvious 
reasons.  ASEAN was created to serve as a buffer during the Vietnam War.  
Myanmar did not want to join because it's leaders were anti-social, as it 
were - they were like what Albania was until very recently.  ASEAN embodied 
the ideals of capitalism while Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos were in the grips 
of communistic idealism.

There are moves in the ASEAN capitals to try and see if these 4 countries
will eventually join ASEAN as full members.  LKY in a recent trip to Vietnam
(to open doors for Singapore entrepreneurs no doubt), did allude to this
possibility.

BTW, Papua New Guniea has observer status in ASEAN.  I do not know why they 
have chosen not to become a full member.

Sometime in the late 70s, Sri Lanka wanted to join ASEAN.  The geographic 
location of Sri Lanka makes it a little difficult to justify.  However, 
they could have had observer status like PNG.  I speculate that probably it 
was either a full-member status or nothing.

Enjoy.

Singaporeans are in fact not allowed to attend international schools unless
at least one parent isn't a Singapore citizen or PR. At least that was the 
policy a few years back, but I doubt that that has changed.

Yes sir..it is very sad indeed. But, how could you compare the no. of medals
won by a nation with its population? Are you saying that the no. of medals
won should be proportional to the size of population?
Indonesia has a large population...and so does Bangladesh...see what I mean..
....And I'm quite confident we could at least bring back bronze in badminton
this Olympic.

Then it surely must have been really SAD that New Zealand has won more
Olympic medals percapita than Australia!!!.  :-).

I don't think it is right to say that populous countries should win
medals.  The size of the popuplation has got nothing to do with
the athlete's ability to win medals.  There are many factors which
judge a nation's ability to win medals.  For example, take the
USA basketball team.  All of the players are professionals.  There
is no way a team from a poorer country such as Malaysia can compete
against the USA team.  

Another aspect is the choice of games played in the Olympics.  
Taekwando (sp?) is not an Olympic sport (it was only a demonstration 
sport), yet, I recall Malaysia winning gold in Taekwando.  The list
goes on, Badminton, Sepak Takraw...  I am sure if Badminton was 
incorporated as an Olympic sport, Malaysia would have won many medals
by now.  And don't argue that the above mention sports are specialist
sports not appreciated by people - just take a look at equestrian.

Can someone post the schedule of the badminton event ? What I have
from the local papers are just the times they play and not which 
countries are playing. After phoning the TV station, it looks like
badminton is just a "lesser-known" sport, according to the person from the 
programming dept. According to her, they don't have any badminton
coverage lined up during the day. However, she said that they "might"
have the highlights of the day's event in the evening.
However, after watching yesterday's highlights, I doubt there will be
any coverage on badminton. It is just a "wrap-up" of the earlier telecast, 
mainly on Canada and the dream team !! They didn't have any report on
men's hockey.  
Just to let those viewers in Canada know about this.

Actually, I couldn't agree with you more.  My parents always told me
that the worst treatment to give anyone is the cold shoulder - completely
ignore the person.  This was exactly what my parents did to me when I got
out of line.  But I guessed I had disappointed my parents so far.

I don't think its quite fair to make such a broad
general statement equivalent to something like
" What Mr Othman wrote is a reflection of world-wide
distrust of the Malays against the Chinese and the
Muslims against the non-muslims. " <<paraphrase my own>>

It works the other way around as well. Chinese (not
so much in Singapore) have suspicions of the Malays
and many non-muslims have their suspicions and distinct
dislike of muslims.

What we see is really how the ethnic issue and tensions
are well alive today. They were never eradicated nor even

racism and prejudice.
