Must Singaporeans Behave Like Pig?

It's the truth. Singaporeans will do sod all about something unless it hurts.Originally posted by chenc:I must say, what a shame in would be for Singaporeans then?
What you proposed, if carried out, will reflect on how Singaporeans lack morality and manners that the only method to make them live like sophisticated human beings is the punishment of the law. -
Haha i highly recommend it, it's really enjoyableOriginally posted by -[0]-:Haha... this makes me feel like studying abroad too. lolx
Though I'm studying in an Australian University course offered by a private institution here in Singapore, I don't mind going to Australia for my graduation.
Seriously, I think Singapore isn't the ideal place for some.

Personally to me this topic is about our NATION being insulted(name-calling), like I said AGAIN, I don't deny some Singaporeans have bad manners, likewise there are some FTs here who misbehaved & have bad manners.
If what u said: 'but then foreigners dont say oh this so n so is like that....they simply said Singaporeans.'
Then u agree it's alright that WE call these FTs double headed snakes or drunkard, dirty, smelly, horny monkeys? Like u, I TOO, can add more to it... but NO, that would contradicts my stand against nation name-calling/insult. *Stick to topic pls*
Like many in Sgforum, I dun mind if pple insult or make fun of me, I can do same too, then on & on... To me it's pointless, look at the history of the WORLD/human conflicts.
[b]NOTE: Comparing which country have more ill manners citizens is one issue. Name-calling & insulting is another.

like that also dont understand..dont take things literally man
=======================================================
Yes, I agree if the topic is about HEALTH issues. For discussion/debate I say: "You are how you speak."
I read through MOST of your other previous topics & replies:
Safe to say u are a FT converted to Singaporean
From your topics u seem to have a mind of your own. U tread carefully on Singapore's sensitive issues. At same time taking the extreme path & indirectly trying provoke the social fabric of Singapore(Race & religion issues)... & u really seem to put in a LOT of effort... did u clone yourself?

"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''
=======================================================
If U claim u are a Singaporean... I really ponder what is your motives here.
Lastly, U have your defence & stand firm in what u believe & I too have mine. So let our words/replies speak for ourself.
Those who wanna discuss HOW Singapoeans SHOULD/SHOULD NOT behave or STATICS to 'PROVE' which countries have more or less ill-manner citizens or even continue the insulting... feel free

But sorry, I still doubt u are a Singaporean becoz of your previous topics. U created few topics that can be quite provoking to some locals & u may get yourself into trouble with the law. Imagine if the authorities ask u what is your reasons for posting such topics & why keep repeatly some sensitive posts, how are u gonna answer?
If u are Singaporean, born & bred here, I think there is no need to create this topic, the answer will come after u
http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=56847
And if u are Singaporean muslims, knowing that calling some one pig is an insult, u wouldn't have done that & muslims in the regions know not ONLY chinese eat pork. There are other races who are avid pork eaters too... these kind of insult will not benefit Muslims neither will it improve the behave of Singaporeans.
It's just my own opinion & my believe about u based on your topics... sorry if I've wronged you, hope u dun take it to heart. -
oink.

Hmm, I think I understand why we Singaporeans are so peccish. WIthout mincing my pork - er, words, we have traded our free will/freedom for promises of great material wealth and stability.
But the wealth part is just not happening for most of us doing donkey work in Disneyland (with Death penalty), so we act like everyone else owes us money!

Face it. You had a bad day. Now go home cry and dont bother the rest of us.

Stress. It's stress!

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.'

Yess... add more security/surveillance cameras & speakers in more places, MRT trains, food courts & toilets if must, so Singaporeans will always be reminded how to eat, behave & pee... NO more excuses!Singapore prevail!

What he said about Singaporeans eating at food court is very true. Even those new ones with air-con.Originally posted by ^mR.yellow^86:he created the story himself? he's exaggerating or that must be his unlucky day. I don't encounter any problem like he did.
che da pao.
I am sure to see at least 2 or 3 tables littered with bones or sauce or rice whenever I eat at any food court.
