The latest headline
that Malaysians enjoy sex more than Singaporeans is another episode
in the continuing saga of sibling rivalry between the two countries.
The Malaysian media loves to highlight the successes that we have
achieved as a nation vis-a-vis our southern neighbour, that little
dot down south. I'm unsure whether the media in Singapore does the
same but a cursory glance at any topic highlighting our neighbour
would show a definite bias on our part. Nothing wrong with being
patriotic but sometimes sentiment clouds the judgement.
I guess the results that show Malysians
enjoy sex more is a fact to be savoured. We do have to be cautious
though with survey results, as in this case only 506 Malaysian
participants took part. A bias in the composition of the group would
give the results published. A different group might give a different
result which would show the opposite, ie, Malaysians do not enjoy sex
more than Singaporeans.
When results are not in favour of us,
I'm quite sure the news would not be on the front page. In this case
results on sexual satisfaction might not seem of importance to the
country, but every little win against that irritating neighbour is
worth highlighting.
