*cackles* 'm bugging him at the office now. "eh excuse me ang moh! Please explain!?"Originally posted by LazerLordz:Anyway, I don't usually care for much, but if someone offends Singaporean culture, then he/she will get a blunt, robust answer. -
Oh I think FIreIce kicked his butt out...

Am back meh!
Seriously I will point out the positives of Singapore first.
1/ Safest Asian Country to be in.
2/ Fantastic public transport.
3/ Family Ties
Thats all I can think of.
Negatives keep on coming.
The pressure teenagers are on just to pass there exams and get that valued piece of paper that employers value most without looking at the experience and the person.There are a number of suicides each week because of this pressure.These guys need a life as well apart from having there heads in the books,because they live in fear,the fear of failing there parents.
Singapore must develop a western concept and look at the person as that person without the relevant paperwork could turn out to be the employeres most valuable asset. -
Yeah man, you got that right!!Originally posted by foomwee88:We r not as rude ppls as compare with PRC chinese nationals !!!They r no.1 in the world to make us -

I note that you have valid points highlighted, but if you will be more hospitable perhaps we can share opinions better.Originally posted by malsing:Am back meh!

I could agree readily with you on this, but I am still offended by your criticism of Singlish.Originally posted by malsing:Am back meh!

Now if you would take those words back and do a little reading up on topics such as cultural diversity and post-colonial linguistic studies, then perhaps we can call it even.

We must encourage self-sufficiency, not build a society dependant on hand-outs. It's not all fun and games you know.Originally posted by ditzy:Just tell him go and buy the fcuking singapore encyclopedia lah! -

Does the frog have anything noteworthy to lament apart from slanted jibes and unintelligible mudslinging?Originally posted by malsing:To BlUe G@rF|eLd
Obviously you have finished your Lunch oh sorry Sings call it makan I am going for my lunch now,one can only wish to have too much time on there hands but in Singapore the Sings just live work they have no life after work.
Or is this a mere reflection of the nationality you belong to, one which enjoys generalisation of others based on a few bad experiences, an obvious lack of geographical and cultural awareness despite spinsugar's outrageous claims to you being 'well-travelled'?
If so, it would certainly be a godspeed and 'adiós' when you depart for home. -

Not Malaysian ShutterBug but I come from a country where freedom of speech is allowed,protesting against issues that one believes in.When will you learn guys that this country thinks its Western but believe me, its far from it.
Look at the security measures in place for terrorism my goodness what a waste of taxpayers money.Could they spend the money on outreach programs for teenagers and for that matter the uncles and aunties.
These people need resources, a life, without just siiting down the btm of the HDB'S and waiting for a friendly person to talk too,but alas they will be waiting all day. I am lucky where I work as I can count on ONE hand and I only have four fingers these Singaporeans truely are genuine people where they think outside the square,where they look at the bigger picture oh yes they have a brain. -
I agree with you.. our gov has been quite an embarrassment to us all.. do you hear me praising them?? Or even boasting??Originally posted by malsing:Originally posted by ShutterBug:

Life here is for each one of us to make it a meaningful one or a dull and senseless one.
Myself, I'm not a product of the system our gov put in place... I am self made.
Like I said, you have valid points, and I agree that locals here need to open up their minds and improve on their character, with reference to your comment on MRT commuters in general. -
As your good self have pointed out, that a lot of Singaporeans don't possess common courtesy (to which I am fully agreeable), as such how can our gov entrust full Freedom of Expression in terms of Demonstrations & Protests??Originally posted by malsing:Originally posted by ShutterBug:

Certain degree of security measures needs to be in place, but what transpired during the IMF meeting was OVERKILL. It's in fact ridiculous.
Locals here are moulded by the policies our gov put in place. If there's anyone to blame, blame them..... -
Myself and among others here, are NOT in the MATRIX.

Shuuterbug,
Why oh why do the people stand for it? You all had the perfect opportunity to voice your concern but hey he got in.I am not on expat wages I am on a local wage but I for one cannot tolerate people just saying "Yes I hear what you are saying but" and to quote a Sing expression "What to do?
Well guys I will quote say to you "Its Time"
Stand up and say its okay to say I cannot tolerate this no more,I dont have to go and migrate to another country in search of a better life this is my home.
