9. You think it's okay to have only one meaningful choice on a ballot.
(Agreed. I don't have much faith in the western ideal of democracy anyway.)
15. You think that S$100,000 [= US$ 57,000] is a reasonable price for a Toyota Corolla and S$1,000,000 is a reasonable price for a bungalow, but S$5 [= US$2.85] for a plate of fried noodles is a barbarous outrage.
(Uncannily, I feel that Mr. B is slowly getting there.)
16. You believe that not being able to get decent roti prata outside Singapore is enough to keep the best and the brightest people from leaving.
(Bad roti-prata is a pity, but buckwheat crepes are fantastic alternatives.)
18. You justify every argument with the phrase "in order for us to be competitive in the 21st century."
(Just look at what's on our local paper yet again today. And even the Economist is talking about it.)
23. Durian and belachan no longer stink to you.
(Balachan will always stink.)
28. When you cross the border into Malaysia, you automatically and deeply fear for your life and your wallet. Especially your wallet!!
(Alternative, you could loose your girlfriend. Or wife. Or whatever appandage that looks vaguely female.)
