It is the persistent reminder of the old, underdeveloped and uncouth habits, which deprives us of the clean and modern look. Chow Kit Road for example appears very modern already from the main street but go through some of the back roads and you'll see filth accumulating, behind some of the shophouses.It immediately throws away our claim to being fully developed and modern. Some toilets in the restaurants are still reminiscent of the condition some ten years ago. They hold us back in our claim to being modern and sophisticated. A very subjective feeling, I admit, but I'd be embarrassed to call myself modern when confronted with those unsightly scene.norzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05325162246693348711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724177439519828268.post-4140744574675068312012-05-13T09:57:55.988-07:002012-05-13T09:57:55.988-07:00Akhi Norzah,

Of how these measure up to developed status is very much subjective though.<br /><br />Hankkaykualahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240206222973305395noreply@blogger.com
