Must Singaporeans Behave Like Pig?

I am not pig. If I am pig, Aussies are cows, big fat cows with lots of tasteless milk.

hahahah seems to have struck a nerve.... you seem pretty angry for someone theyre not talking abtOriginally posted by JackOT:I am not pig. If I am pig, Aussies are cows, big fat cows with lots of tasteless milk. -
Greedy, self-serving, boorish, indifferent...those are the adjectives I'm trying to move away from.

personally i dont do that but i am a singaporean..so automatically i will be classified as 1...thats why i said WE...if u go out u'll see this is what happening, to us maybe we think its not a big deal, but we are opening up, more foreign talents from all over the world come here to work..they observed us, thats what they noticed..we r uncouth..its a fact...of coz not 100% of sporeans are like that..but then foreigners dont say oh this so n so is like that....they simply said Singaporeans...Originally posted by oozie:I agree, there are Singaporeans behave in such a disgraceful manner, but that dun justify to say Singaporeans behave like pigs. Which country do not have such pple & oink oink... do u think it's funny name-calling especially in national level?
SO u believe & agrees to what your expatriate frenz think, right... & When u said: "they do think WE have bad manners, like WE dig our nose n spit in public...talked loudly...like to rush..."
The 'WE' meaning u are a Singaporean yourself?
when we go to overseas we too label the ppl there as malaysians, indonesians, australian...
we can always say not All are like that...but 1 drop of blue ink will spoil the whole milk lol -
Wrong. We all know animals don't eat their own kind.Originally posted by valentinoo:i dont eat PORK...
you are what u EaT
HAHAHAHAHA
So majority of Singaporeans do Act like PIGGIES
In this case, you are the pig. -
Well, the truth hurts doesn't it..? Most Singaporeans must really be cut down to size, and I'll repeat this again, with the exception of a small segment of the population, the rest are obnoxious, selfish, lazy arseholes who take menial help for granted, lack social etiquette and are basically fucked up in the ways of proper human discourse and civility.
How else would you explain the weird stares you get when you return your own tray to the cleaner's counter? Dimwits..
Oh, KB, you don't have to move away from those adjectives either. Call a spade a spade, it's much more therapeutic.

the food you eat has a dramatic effect on how your body functions. therefore u are what you eat.Originally posted by Honeybunz:Wrong. We all know animals don't eat their own kind.
So to correct your statement, you are the pig.
and your statement is wrong too... the correct statement will be
if u eat pig u behave like one -
Like real. If you eat vegetable, you will be green or paralyzed?Originally posted by valentinoo:the food you eat has a dramatic effect on how your body functions. therefore u are what you eat.

Animals don't eat their own kind. So you're what you don't eat
Pig ah neh. -
In folklore terms, eating the meat of the pig is said to contribute to lack of morality and shame, plus greed for wealth, laziness, indulgence, dirtiness and gluttony. We insult a person by calling him or her a "Pig" when they demonstrate these characteristics.Originally posted by Honeybunz:Like real. If you eat vegetable, you will be green or paralyzed?
Animals don't eat their own kind. So you're what you don't eat Pig ah neh.
do u do all that? if yes lets call u a pig -
liddat oso can argue.

Err nothing to do with the topic but... err not true that animals dont eat their own kind. Lots of animals are cannibalistic. Though when they eat their own kind, they are not necessarily treating them as food.Originally posted by Honeybunz:Like real. If you eat vegetable, you will be green or paralyzed?
Animals don't eat their own kind. So you're what you don't eat Pig ah neh.
Having said tt.. the person who say he does not eat pork so he's not a pig is seriously confused. -
The 3,000 year old Confucian Book of Rites says, "Agentleman does not eat the flesh of pigs and dogs."
really or not -
im not confused u probably never heard of the saying " you are what you eat"Originally posted by ShrodingersCat:Having said tt.. the person who say he does not eat pork so he's not a pig is seriously confused.

u all dont understand the meaning of "sayings"
hard to explain
let me try to copy n paste
English is full of so many sayings that we use them without really thinking about them. The words have meaning to us but, if you analyse the words themselves, they often don't make sense.
so when it comes to sayings, u dont need to analyse ok... -
why u angry i say u are human?
if i touchy i'll call you names liao loh... won't say u r human ma!
hmmmm unless....

RECENTLY, my friend from Australia commented that Singaporeans behaved like pigs. I disagreed, saying that at most it's a small minority who behaved that way. He challenged me to a test. I accepted his challenge, determined to prove him wrong. I was bitterly disappointed.
Here is an account of what happened.
My friend, my wife, our one-year-old son in a pram and I (wearing a neck brace and with my arm in a sling from injuries sustained in a car accident) went for an MRT ride. My wife and son couldn't get into the station for some time because other commuters kept using the gate meant for the disabled, ignoring her and the pram.
When the train arrived, people rushed in while alighting passengers rushed out. No one gave way to my wife and the pram. She had to compete with the horde to get onto the train. To make things worse, those standing at the doorway refused to move in, making it even more difficult for her.
Once on board, no one bothered to give up his seat to my wife, who was carrying our son. Those seated were young, able-bodied and educated (executive-type) adults. Finally, it was two Thai workers who gave up their seats to us.
Later, an old woman boarded the train. Again, no one gave up his seat until a man in a neck brace and an arm sling did so.
When we reached our destination, we tried to take the lift from the platform to the ticket concourse. The lift was packed with able-bodied people. My friend asked that my wife and the pram be allowed in but one man turned around and remarked rudely, 'Why can't you take the next lift?'. I was shocked beyond words.
We went to a packed food court for lunch. No tables were available. We waited and finally noticed a couple leaving. We inched our way towards their table but, with just 5m to go, a group of office girls ran ahead of us and took the table.
When we finally got a table, it was unbelievably messy. There were chicken bones, spilt sauces and prawn shells all over the table.
I turned red in the face when my friend, who was helping to clear the table, asked, 'So, do you still think that it's only a minority of Singaporeans that behave this way? If so, take a look around you. Look real hard at the tables when they leave... You guys eat like pigs.'

Those who have maid at home will bahave liddat, and those who dun give way are being selfish. Just like the Rat race, and people just want to get ahead of others.
The problem is mentality, many have forgotten to be humble. -
if you have nothing more than lame conjectures and silly attempts at lighthearted jokes which are flatter than a runway, please desist and save yourself some pride.Originally posted by valentinoo:im not confused u probably never heard of the saying " you are what you eat"
