I'm Malaysian so let me give my two cents on this.
TS's sentiments is very common anywhere in the world. But I think this sentiment is particularly strong in Singapore cos the government here has a very foreigner-friendly policy and many locals feel their jobs (and even partners!) are taken away. I worked a three-month internship in an engineering firm. Discrimination? You bet. The funny thing was the SG guys didn't really like the Msian guys but they were head over heels over the Msian girls! :P
So although I'm not local, I support the idea that the Government should increase the job and education opportunities for locals. It's the only right thing to do. As Elindra said, we've got a whole load of BS to deal with in our own country but our government will never place other people before us.
Anyway in case you didn't know..most (if not all) Singapore's Chief Justice's hail from Malaysia. Lee Kuan Yew's first cabinet had half its ministers having Malaysian origin. SG's first DPM was also from Malaysia. The current health minister was also from Penang. So if TS doesn't like us, he's got to remember we helped build SG too.
Or perhaps TS had some bad experiences with Malaysian colleagues..of course there are definitely Malaysians whom I can't stand. But bad people are everywhere.
malaysia is such a big place. surely you can find a job in your own country
