Khir Toyo: "Apple to Apple" vs Pak Lah's "Grape & Apple"

After Pak Lah cried about the grapes and apple, now we have Khir the Toyo who declared that Selangor will compete with Singapore "apple to apple" in five years.

[quote]

Khir Toyo said Selangor was not much different from Singapore except that it lagged in public transportation and IT facilities, and urban services quality.

“Once we are more efficient in public transportation and improve our broadband services as well as the urban services quality, Selangor and Singapore can compete apple to apple.

“We are also improving our port and airport services,” Khir said. [unquote]

I just can't stop laughing! This Khir is really toyo-ed and his line of argument made him a rigmarole with a puerile mindset. "Apple to Apple"? What's Selangor's GDP? Just look at the problems of urban poverty and the competitiveness and business efficiency of Selangor... he just don't understand macroeconomics!!!

I think if he tries to compare corruption and kleptocracy, Selangor should beat not only Singapore, but almost all other states.

Can any of you economist or psuedo-economist give me a table of comparison so that I can sent it to the Khir?

KNN, we have this type of clown to be our state leader:((((

Shit!!!

Genius has limit, stupidity don't!

Don't need to talk about economic stuff, let start with very basic stuff: WATER.

Singapore pipe water is safe to drink, can we drink pipe water in selangor?

Singapore for sure, will lose on those Zakaria-mansionism

One thing for sure, even after 5 years or more, the word "meritocracy" will not be in Selangor state vocabulary.

The only thing Selangor can beat Singapore is the amount of SAND the former possesses
