Man ... what's with all the whining?!
-
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. -
no $ how to leave?
-
Well, is it ever easy to please someone? Your bf/gf?
Imagine pleasing a whole population?
That's even tougher right?

only singaporeans complain? i dun think so. everyone everywhere complains. complains may irritate u but complains improve our lives. we complain about PAP's policies does not mean that we hate the policies. it can also means that the policies can still be improve. if u go to a restaurant, u experience bad service. what would u do? obviously is complain to the manager. by getting the complain, the manager know that the service is 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. -
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.
2 I never said only Singaporeans complained. I'm guessing you missed that or .. did not understand the post.
3 I am totally for making changes. This post was not targetted at people who are unhappy and DO something other than complain about their lot.
4 If you're the sort to initiate change - good for you. You are, however, barking up the wrong tree with that post, then. -
I kinda agree with u Bamboozler, I've been in China Yiwu for a year plus now and I have appreciate things more than before.
I have learn how to respect others !
Well, basically Singaporeans are more proud and think highly of themselve..... (there's some bad apples though)
Complain actually is also healthy, just need to remind e goverment that they (goverment) and we need to improve and upgrade ourselves....
Lastly It's China national day tomorrow ! haaaa...... -
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!

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 -
