i agree with u totally. there's this guy, Bamboozler, complaining how ppls complain in forums.Originally posted by Bamboozler:Singaporeans are known for complaining ... these forums are a testament to this!
Everybody seems unhappy about the govt/the PAP and their policies, the elitism, the lack of sound barriers, that there are too many gangsters, that no one cares for the children etc etc ad nauseam
I think if you've stayed abroad for a spell, you'd be more appreciative of Singapore. If you don't agree with that statement ...You're not forced to stay on y'know?!
What's stopping you from leaving?
... or perhaps, everyone is more or less contented ... but just like to complain?
I don't know .. please enlighten.
1 The first post was not a complaint. It's a question followed by a possible solution.Originally posted by skyfoo:i agree with u totally. there's this guy, Bamboozler, complaining how ppls complain in forums.
-yada yada yada snip -
bad and make sure it's better. so, by complaining, we are not unhappy about what we are complaining, we just want it to change for the better.
First of all ...whining in caucasian terms are called " suggestions" in a deconstructive manner.Originally posted by Bamboozler:Singaporeans are known for complaining ... these forums are a testament to this!

Seventh, why are we whining about people whining too much?Originally posted by fymk:First of all ...whining in caucasian terms are called " suggestions" in a deconstructive manner.
Secondly ..without the whining or suggestions coming in, "no improvements can be made"
Thirdly some of us are just grumpy and need an outlet for venting
Fourthly some of us are just grumpy because we feel powerless to change a country we love. No offence to dear Singapore, just the government policies.
Fifthly this is a forum called Speaker's Corner....of course some disgruntled persons , occasionally I fall into that group, come and give our "suggestions".
Sixthly we are not the only people in the world who complain alot. I work overseas and here the complainers are even worse...and the funny part they call them "underdogs". However I notice singaporeans like to berate other singaporeans for their "suggestions".
Seventhly , Freedom of speech.....we use it
singaporeans complain kings whatOriginally posted by Bamboozler:Singaporeans are known for complaining ... these forums are a testament to this!
