The difference is that in Singapore, the Chinese are on the upper side where a lot of jobs and preference are given to Chinese community, and the other races like malays and indians are left to bite their fingers.

For that I find it hard to believe base on your knowledge of Singapore’s economy and politic.
How much truth are there in your finding? Is that based on your own experience? Are you aware that there are many Malays and Indians in the law enforcement sector and some in the private sector. Most of the business people are Chinese and a little of mix race. How good are the Indian and Malays in the business? Except some who runs grocery stores and some others who made it, other than that you don’t just simply place someone who is not cut for the job to sit as CEO of a corporate, do you?
Like in Indonesia.
Lets take the Forestry Department. There are two, out of the bunch of 20 or so head of department, that are of forestry background. The rest are not. So how do you expect them to be proficient and efficient.
In the legal sector, police they are also the same.
Everyone accuse a person let say Sukanto Tanoto of being an illegal logger. The fact is that his Riaupulp sits on a HTI concession. So can he be considered to be an illegal logger. Most of all, because of some corrupt head of department who knows nuts about forestry start making this guy run away for fear of his safety.
And Indonesia expects foreigners to invest in Indonesia?
