To my very great surprise, the pleasant partner who I have known before suddenly turned into an annoying, arrogant person. She replied:

"I think Mahathir is a stupid guy... I think he just want to show-off by building big airports, big buildings in Malaysia. He should have tried to improve your country’s education system. There are so many uneducated and poor people in Malaysia... He thinks that we are scared of Malaysia, I still believe that Singapore is still more superior than Malaysia..."

To tell the truth, being a ‘true Malay’ .... I did not really know how to counteract her statements properly. Moreover, I was doing my experiment with oscillator and generators - I did not want to be electrocuted because of the arguments! So, I tried to remain unperturbed (though I was really disturbed at that moment...!) and replied:

"I’m not sure why are you asking this...but as far as Malaysians are concerned, we never think of ourselves of being more superior than others. All of us just want to prosper, we have our own ways...and you people have your own ways. So, why are you making a lot of mess with this thing...."
