The post is misleading. Bad research and lazy research too. Obviously the researcher just put more effort on researching on the Singapore’s Minister’s Cabinet than the Malaysian Cabinet. When he wrote Minister of Agriculture Muhyiddin Yassin (Education Unknown), nowdoes this means that the minister doesn’t have an education or that the writer of this post just don’t know about it because he is lazy to research or can’t find it on the net? Did he go to the government office itself and ask?

Also, there are Singaporean Cabinet Ministers like PM Lee Hsien Loong and some others in which the writer do not state what courses they took at places like Cambridge or Williams College USA? I mean, you can also take women’s studies there, which is pretty easy. It’s not just the name of the university that matters, but what you study there also matters.

Another misleading info written here is that the Malaysian cabinet is consists of only Malays while Singapore cabinet is the one that is multiracial, when Malaysia has so many parties that consists of many people from different races. Where’s Ong Ka Ting? Again, if the writer really neutral in doing this comparison, if he would research more on the Malaysian Cabinet.

For the person who wrote this, I think you can leave the country now. I mean, you’re not even happy with it right? Get out, what are you still doing here (if you are still here), wanna suck up on Malaysia’s resources to survive? You know you need that haha

True. Singapore “begs” good people to joint politics because if values good people. Good people bring good to the people. How successful can Malaysia be, I wonder, at getting the good people to join the government, even if they beg. The comparison does throw some light on the kind of calibre on the Malaysian government.

There is no need to “burst you seams” are become defensive. Just look at what Singapore has achieve and what Malaysia has, given its resources.

Hi there. Thought you should have compared apple-to-apple, ie position to position. That would give a clearer picture. Anyway, good research. I did another type of comparison on my blog as well, but not on their education, but more on the different posts.

While I abhor the incompetence Malaysian ministers exhibit, I do feel compelled to point out that some of the education backgrounds of Malaysian ministers you listed are false; that the University of Malaya was once a wreath worn with honour (e.g. your beloved Ngiam Tong Dow); that the cream of the Malay crop do not enter politics; and that the PAP (unlike UMNO, and other political parties in the free world) goes around begging corporate figureheads/top talent to join their ranks in the same manner as does the Communist Party of China.

This comparison is as meaningless as it is patently stupid.

For M’sia cabinet ministers, u didnâ€™t include the Ministers of Chinese ethnicity, it is misleading
