Ugly Singaporeans

Sometime, i really feel disgraceful to be a Singaporean. A country with excellent hardware capabilities, educated workforce, advance technologies. BUT a lack of quality SOFTWARE. The people --- Singaporeans.

Despite being educated, able to understand 2 languages, they really irk me by their behaviour. Low EQ, no manners, act tough, gek seh boh seh! Yucks! I was happily dancing yesterday when this boy came over and push me away. For heaven sake, a simple "excuse me or do you mind" will do. Not even a word of apology. No wonder Cai Shen Jiang in his article in Zaobao brought up the topic of "Saying Sorry".

Was out in town this evening. Passed by a Car roadshow at Civics plaza. I happen to see this guy with his family buying car. There is nothing wrong with that. However, upon closer examination, i saw this guy carrying a less than 3 month old baby. Is buying a car more important than his new born? The poor wife got to carry the baby while waiting for her hubby to place a deposit on the new car.

HELLO! This is seventh month and u bring a new born to buy a car??? WTF? I pity the poor baby and his wife. Not sure if the wife is happy abt it, but i am sorry, i cannot stand it. Singaporeans? Are their state of mind clear?

When they go overseas, even worse. Singaporeans' WORST habits appear. Criticise this and that! Faint! DO NOT assume Singapore is the only place on earth. There are better places out there. The fact is we havent been there yet so in the meantime, learn to be understanding. As for countries that we always visit ie developing nations, I strongly believe they also want their country to be the best, or as good as Singapore! But they have to work with their constraints and culture. haiz...

Anyway, i do enjoy my stay in this little country. Although PM Lee, in his national day rally said, Singapore will become even more vibrant in the next decade, it is still long time ahead. Wat i always love abt Singapore is the SECURITY. Never in other places (except Switzerland, felt very safe even in a remote village when i been there few years ago) can i travel so safely at nite....
