Would that be the place where a Malayan patriarch - as I recall, an imam - had to be put on trial for beating his 23-year-old niece so badly that he blinded her in one eye, for dating an Anglo? (I remember that his affronted defence was to the effect that if the place were truly multicultural, his cultural values would have been respected. Quite so.)

Malayan? What is this, the East India Company? Malaya hasn't existed since 1962. It isn't even an ethnicity anymore.

I'm in Singapore, and I've noticed that most of what we dismiss as "hideous ethnic crap", only trotted out during Chinese New Year or beach parties, such as batik items and chinese embroidered bags and suchlike, seems to be hideously expensive in America.

Indian stuff is pretty ok, but seriously, I see the same skirt I bought for $5USD selling at $40USD online.

What's with that?
