Here is a joke story.
One day Lee Kuan Yew went to Thailand and had lobster dinner with the Thai King.
After Lee finished, he asked the King.
Lee: Your Highness, what do you do with this lobster shell?
King: We cannot do anything with it. We just throw away.
Lee: In my country, we send it to the factory to produce prawn crackers.
Then Lee had an orange. After he finished, he asked the King.
Lee: What do you do with the orange skin?
King: Oh no. We cannot do anything with it. We just throw away.
Lee: In Singapore we send it to the factory to produce some orange jam.
Then Lee asked for some chewing gum. After he finished, he asked the King.
King: Oh no we just throw it away.
Lee: In Singapore, we send it to factory to produce condoms and send it to Thailand.
The next day, Lee said goodbye to the King and the King asked Lee.
King: What can you do with the condom when you finish using it?
Lee: We cannot do anything with it. We just throw away.
King: In Thailand when we finish using the condom we send it to factory.
My goodness. No wonder Singapore has none of chewing gum for a long time!
