To be taken with a pinch of salt, this is a joke my brother told me a long time ago :)

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him on the seventh day, resting. He inquired of God, "Where have you been?" God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds. "Look Michael, look what i have made." said God. Archangel Michael looked puzzle and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet", replied God, "and i've put life on it, I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing a different parts of earth, "For example, North America will be a place of great opportunitu and wealth, while South America is going to be poor. The Middle East over there will be a hot spot and Russia will be a cold spot. Over there I've place a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people."
God continued pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and this one extremely cold, and this one covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a small land mass and said, "What's that one?"
"Ah", said God. "That's Singapore, the most glorious place on Earth. There are
beautiful buildings and races rich in culture and history. The people from Singapore are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be found travelling the world. They will be extremely sociable, hard-working and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there will be BALANCE!" God replied wisely, 'Wait until you see the jokers i'm putting next to them. I'm calling them 'Malaysians'!"
