  A surprisingly well-balanced article, in my opinion.

   

  From the article:

   

  "Singaporeans quite seriously describe their society as being driven by a local concept called kiasu, a desire not so much to get ahead as to not lose out. That concept might be applied, for example, to a person who pushes ahead of everybody else to get into an elevator."

   

  Woohoo! Kiasuism finally takes the world stage!
