Little India
One day, SM Goh Chok Tong visited India to meet their PM to negotiate trade terms. During the lunch break the Prime Minister of India suggested taking SM Goh for a spin in his helicopter and view India's city lifestyle.
As SM Goh was enjoying the view from above, he noticed an over populated village with unhygienic living conditions. A man was even shitting in his backyard. SM Goh was fast to comment how unsightly it is and that India's people are so uncivilised.
India's PM was so humiliated and vowed to himself that he'll humiliate SM Goh when he gets to visit Singapore.
When he finally did visit Singapore the following month, SM Goh too offered him a ride in his helicopter to see the Singaporean lifestyle.For a whole hour, India's PM was trying to spot a fault. Finally he saw a place where people literally littered the streets and as he had a closer look, he even noticed a man shitting on the grass verge. He quickly pointed out to SM Goh about it and said, 'You said Singapore was nothing like India. How do you account for this?'
SM Goh looked closer, smiled and replied 'Aaahhh..we called that place Little India'.
