One fine day,former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong visited India to meet their PM to negotiate trade terms.During the lunch break the Prime Minister of India suggested taking PM Goh for a spin in his helicopter and view India's city lifestyle.
As PM Goh was enjoying the bird's eye view from above,he noticed an overpopulated village with unhygienic living conditions.A man was even shitting in his backyard.PM Goh was fast 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'd humiliate and vowed to himself that he'd humiliate PM Goh when he got to visit Singapore.
When he really did visit S'pore the following month, PM Goh too offered him a ride in his helicopter to see the Singapore lifestyle.
For a whole hour,India's PM was trying hard 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 PM Goh about it and said,
'You said Singapore was nothing like India.
How do you account for this?'
PM Goh looked closer, smiled and replies,
'Aaahhh.. we called that place - Little India'
