About Singapore...

The hardest thing when you want to write a blog is you don't know where to start, once you start... all the words comes along naturally.

Today, i'm going to share my opinion 'bout Singapore. Lots of people thought that Singapore is the most developed country in South East Asia (we have Japan, China, and Hong Kong) for Asia, people assuming when the country is developed, the mentallity is followed. however found that it was wrong.YES, it is the richest country in South East Asia now.. People assuming when the country is developed, the mentallity is followed. So when i reached Singapore, i expected the people to be intelect, hv a good manner, considerate, and compare to undevelop country.. they should hv more integrity.

I came here and found out that the people here as not as intelect as i thought and lack of manner, even some of the angmo (how they called western people) bluntly called them stupid. Their prime minister ask them to upgrade their skill or work harder if they dont want to be outnumbered by foreigner. From my point of view, i believe that their smart people is out there, but since there's only view of them (considering the total amount of citizen is approx. 3 million) they need the others who is not so educated to fill in the position, that's why we encountered so much people is not suit to their position. However, this is actually Singapore plus point, there's so many work field for their citizen (but there's still unemployee, approx. 2%).

There's more uneducated people at undeveloped country (by percentage), but at least the uneducated people when they work they have more manner and will answer your question politely when you ask, not act like a genius and assuming other people is idiot. It is make you double angry when the idiot people treat you like an idiot -.-" if the idiot thought you are idiot.. you are more idiot than the idiots. So the manner is becoming the issue when it come to this case, which their goverment tried to change their behaviour by putting a lot of adverstisement of kindness and ask them to be considerate.

So, the goverment ask them to work harder (please note that their working hours is 44hours/week, hvn't consider Overtime, it is higher than South Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong), if not the goverment will ask the foreigner to replace their place (this is my summary of the minister New Year speech)...
The goverment ask them to be smarter...

Imagine you have a long working hour, with not enough/ average capability for the job, and anytime you can loose your job because there always other people who can replace you. Your life depend on the job.. (The living cost is so high, almost all your belongings is still in the mortage, once you loose your job, you have to let them go and almost no saving. Combine with Chinese background which make you money-oriented and your tone followed the mother-language (rude eventhough you dont mean it).Then the goverment ask you to be nice to other people...

Most of them lick "angmo" ass and treat them like a king, like all the asians usually do, however this attitude seems extreme when it came to Singaporeans. As they treat the other asians and their own like S****.
If you serve 2 fishes for Asian guest w/ smile and serve 3 fishes for Angmo guest w/ smile.. that's is possibly to tell the foreigner that they're welcome in Asia and we love them here.. or... we want their money...
But if you serve half fish to your Asian Guest with lots of grumbling or not even look at them like they're only burden to your job, and when it come to angmo you serve them w/ 5 fishes w/ smile and lots of nice words.. definitely you want their money and you have no self-respect, no integrity... guess what? it happens in this developed country...
They do not proud of themselves if compared to angmo and they arrogant compared to others foreigner from poorer country..
The girls desperately look for Angmo boyfriends and dream of the luxury life... (Logically, they are smart as they can see what the future will give them here)

Their country is rich... but their people is suffering.. Mmm.. It is not like what you see outside on the advertisement.

There's nice things 'bout Singapore, it is clean and safe, you can jog alone at midnight and there's small chance that somebody going to rob you. Their public transport is fascinating... Punctual and Comfortable. The branded goods is cheaper than other countries in Asia (except Hong Kong). The city is organize well, they have specified department for park, building, structure, land, etc. Sometimes i feel like playing Sim City here ^^ haha.. There's a lot of signage, impossible that you are lost in Singapore. Their salary is high compare to other countries in Asia (not to mention the living cost).

This is just my opinion, which some people might found it offensive (i dont mean o offense anybody). I do believe we have the right to shout out what we think.. I'm just a foreigner that passing by with limited knowledge, but that's what i think 'bout Singapore.
