Typical Singaporeans
-
Singaporeans in a "first world" country, will try not to identify themselves as a Singaporean but will act as if they are a local of that "first world" country.
Singaporeans in a "third world" country will flaunt wealth and make as much noise as possible so that everybody in 1km radius of them will recognise them as Singaporeans!!

Me was in the same predicament as you, me was in the States on work assignment and during a dinner appointment with the Singapore Trader's Association, the national anthem was played. No one except me and a few of my colleagues crossed my fist across our chest to sing. The rest of the people were busy chatting with the glass of wine while the anthem was played. Me also overheard that someone said that we were crazy to sing the anthem in the States.Originally posted by Ponders:Singaporeans in a "first world" country, will try not to identify themselves as a Singaporean but will act as if they are a local of that "first world" country.

"First Word" again and again.....
Why can't we stay in low profile
With Humble & Friendly attitude will make peoples around us

in ur heart can liao, no need to sing or show out

The problem relates to a sense of belonging. Though Singapore has been trying hard to incalcate a sense of belonging, its typically not working at all. Even in school not everyone is singing the national anthem how do u expect ppl to sing it oversea or be proud of the atheles. One more point to note is that the athletes are usually not Singaporeans by birth or can be consider foreign talent so ..........

that's quite true . although the people from my school "sing" ( they will just open their mouths ) .. it is not truely due to their loyalty , but because they are " forced " to . those who do not sing the national anthem will have to attend detention .Originally posted by NewAge:The problem relates to a sense of belonging.

i think its a different situation for ping pong category....

COME ON LAR, Singaproeans only care about their Tax money.When they are viewing the Commonwealth games, they are probably taking out a calculator with the receipt coming out rapidly from the calculator and the calculator exploded.
-
sounds like my sec sch days...no one sings....but u got to admit it...i think our anthem doesnt sound taht great as compared to USA's one...maybe cause theirs is in eng...

don't get me wrong...i love the country but i hate the government.

if match in sg okay lah can make sg wave...aussie and new zealander can make wave orso lah...but at their country u make waves latter kena wag then how? i am not saying all westerners are barbaric or what but i feel players shhould concentrate during the game (no distractions please) and the main force and deciding factor in wining is not encouragements but skills.

über alles in der Welt,
wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
brüderlich zusammenhält!
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
von der Etsch bis an den Belt:
|: Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
über alles in der Welt!
Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang
sollen in der Welt behalten
ihren alten schönen Klang,
uns zu edler Tat begeistern
unser ganzes Leben lang:
|: Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
für das deutsche Vaterland!
Danach lasst uns alle streben
brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
sind des Glückes Unterpfand;
|: blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
blühe, deutsches Vaterland. -
we as singaporeans, still have a long way to go...

about the distractions part, remember our soccer team played against indonesia is it?Originally posted by newmanmback:if match in sg okay lah can make sg wave...aussie and new zealander can make wave orso lah...but at their country u make waves latter kena wag then how? i am not saying all westerners are barbaric or what but i feel players shhould concentrate during the game (no distractions please) and the main force and deciding factor in wining is not encouragements but skills.
and they lost and said the spectators were too noisy or something. WAH! -
This is all because of the statue of Raffles. I told you all to remove the statue, but nobody believe me.
-
What's the big deal of not cheering for our sportmans when some are not even singaporeans! As for singing the national anthem, we can just sing in heart as not everyone love to show off how loyal they are to their belove country.
-
One thing to add on, i hope that our goverment will be fair to the netball team members and contribute more money to them rather than invest heavily on foreign talents.
-
can we remove the prize money medals and awards in sports? i see ppl not happy wif that ppl and riots and fights in the streets just coz one country team won the other..where are the sportsmenship?
go there giv your best shot nd if u win be humble and if you lose work harder and try again next time
PEACE
