Don't waste your time.

Malaysia has announced that some of its recipes have been hijacked and is now claiming certain dishes (food) as theirs. Dishes such as Chilli Crab, Hainanese Chicken Rice and Nasi Lemak are all Malaysian dishes.

To me, this is just rather childish and they're really just targetting Singapore because many (even Malaysians) have called Singapore - "Food Haven".

To M'sian Tourism Min. Ng Yen Ye:

Hi, how are you? I just want to say that whatever you're doing won't change a thing. Italians have their Pasta, but the Japanese made it their own as well - Waraku's Japanese Pasta. And they're all available here. Tourists won't change their minds and go to Malaysia instead of Singapore because they think "Oh, wait a minute, it's Malaysia that came up with Nasi Lemak! I should travel there instead!" In my opinion, with the variety and quality of food we have here in Singapore, claiming certain recipes as yours won't really change a thing.

Please use your efforts, time and money in a more rewarding way.
