Singaporeans are unfriendly
-
Singapore is a high tech developed country that has many easy access to anywhere you wanna
go. For travellers, it is easy to find taxi, subway and buses on any given corner. But the
attitude for the local people are far from charming. They're rude, harsh, and insensitive
towards others, especially tourists from outside the region. They don't believe that the
customer is king, and will have no qualm in being pissed off at lookers who do not purchase
their service or products. This is especially true if you go to any department store,
riding in taxi around their lunch hour or simply asking locals if you're lost. They have a
quick make money attitude, without caring about the feelings or satisfaction of their
customers. This is sad, because many tv programs, magazines and newspapers have stated that
Singaporeans are friendly to live with, which is honestly untrue.

Please try to understand the physical and sociopsychological topography of Singapore first......
Singapore is a crowded, dense, post-industrial compact city-state with highly mature economy, and modern lifestyle.
There is no hinterland in Singapore.
There is nobody in Singapore who come from a small town or a rural village.
Because of the structure of Singapore, people live hurried and busy lifes, and they live cheek-by-jowls amongst others.
Due to this, you cannot expect everyone to take the time to say "Good morning how are you" , like some people do in some small towns in Australia.
Yet, do not be so quick to be judgemental towards others, because you said something that is totally inaccurate. You said people would be rude to you if you ask for the directions.
This has not been my experience.
Everytime I ask for directions, be it from a young pretty lady, a stern looking male, an old person, a young student, a sweeper, or a random person on the street, everytime they have been helpful and nice to me.
Actually despite the fact that most Singaporeans do not smile towards strangers, this is just due to city-living conditions as described above, but actually, underneath, they have a heart of gold.

Eh... the point is... you never lived with the locals... which at this point is true...
So... whose being truly "honest"?

" They don't believe that the customer is king, "
"Customer is always right" have been abolished long ago...

-
This is especially true if you go to any department store

From his name looks like an enlightened local trying to make a point. -
who says?

I strongly disagree with you. Based on my experience,I find singaporeans more friendly than locals from Hongkong. Most singaporeans understand and can even speak english. While, locals from hongkong will shoo you away if your asking for directions.
-
if you met unfriendly singaporeans, only 2 reaons, 1 is you mixed with the wrong singaporeans... number 2 is that you are the problem, stop pointing fingers.

Singaporeans friendly? Really???
