LOL. I am aware that the luvvies call it Malaysia, but I deliberately call it Malaya

 

And, for me Rangoon will always be Rangoon.

Calcutta will always be Oh! Calcutta!

 

Unfortunately, British governance is no longer in force in these two places.

 

Ever since the British left the colonies, it seems the natives want to leave the colonies, too, choosing to emigrate to the UK, and for good reason.

 

The people of HK sorely miss British governance.

They would have gladly refused to be invaded by XiJinPing.

 

I have an idea, though:

 

Why not just allow unfettered emigration from places like Malaya, to the UK.

Then, allow the British to re-colonize Malaya.

And then, everyone might be happy.

 

The guys in the UK could enjoy a nice warm climate.

And, the immigrants to the UK, within a few decades, would get their just deserts, once they had mucked everything up in their new chosen land.

Good for you.

But this forum is full of threads from Farangs who are sick of the place and constantly complaining about the Thais.

In 10 years of living in Malaysia I've never had any trouble with any of them. In fact if anything the Malays are the most gentle and polite of all the races here. The Chinese have a natural abrasiveness in their culture - you see it best in places like Hong Kong where they are in the majority and given their head to fully act out. The Malays are a moderating influence on the Chinese, and the Chinese equally give the Malays an entrepreneurial push, and the necessity to moderate the fundamentalism. The result is a better mix for both, and for expats.
