Sweet! Your Jawi is better than mine..I can still read but writing is another story :mad: I figured it was Indonesian especially with the words Goblock and kualitas but could have been just broken Malay. My Bad!

At least you're one SGer who would understand Majulallah Singapura :cool: Some of my SGer friends managed to sing the anthem purely through memorization but unable to understand a word they're singing :shock:

and mad scientist, I really dont get what you were saying in the last part of your post. I'm Indonesian, not malay. Can you say again in english?
Dude… not when you have conscription army! You can contribute later with your education and the economy but you’ll have to learn to chip in your share and bust your chops like every citizen does.

If the U.S. still has the military draft in place, I’ll be damned to ditch draft or to let my son do it. As a matter of fact, my boy is in the process of acquiring Dual Citizenship by virtues of his mom and we expected him to fulfill his military service obligation at the age of 18 with his motherland while his commitment to his fatherland is still first.

You’re typical of S.E. Asian kid from a Chinese family. I can say that ‘coz I’m an Asian American and my dad was bent out of shape when I try to enlist to serve after I graduated from college. Serving the nation is an honor – naive as we are but still an honor. Wait till your homeland get invaded and I see you running with your Degree as a refugee - figures!

Don’t be thinking of moving to the U.S. We already have too many of your kind. Sorry.

U're raised in Indonesia right? Mandarin/Chinese & Singlish are definitely not your mother tongue. Just your second/third language. You should understand uncle MS. Can't forget your own official language in 7 years.

And it seems he's even gotten smaller. He's gone back and deleted his little tirade. Why doesn't that surprise me. :-|
