Despite this , u still see local kids are a big disappointment in personal discipline, intra-personal skills and ultimately lack independence to make strong life altering decisions.. What a stupid propaganda article . Makes a laughing stock out of singapore. There is a tammy here, 5 kids gang rape a girl, lesbians and gay culture. What makes them think singapore is any better than australia? Though Australian kids are portrayed as indisciplined in the media, they are independent thinking and make their own life decisions, A they grow older, many of them will just come out of their nutshell and start to be serious about life. This is life, everyone's life is like that. Apart from that, not every kid in australia sucks, Its their individuality, character which makes people out of them.
Let yr kids expereince life in the jungle, they will then know self actualisation.
No matter how strict singapore is, it still under western influence thanks to mainstream media and the govt which lets in this kind of exposure for the sake of economy . No amount of discipline can tame a kid for long. I have seen many people growing up together with me who were disciplined during their teens but once grow up they start doing "things which they missed in their childhood" in their 20s and 30s. This includes alcholism , drinking, smoking, sex ect. It boils down to individuality, character and pre-disposed genes.
Look at how our adults behave in so called strict singapore.

Couldn't agree more, however I feel your example of the clubbing scene is not really appropriate to represent the adult population in Singapore. Nevertheless! Can't wait to party when I get back to Sg =D

This is FUCKING FUNNY!!

I beg to differ. This statement is extremely prejudiced, reserved yes, retarded, Hell no.
Australia with a population just 4.5 times Singapore’s has produced many Nobel Laureates and won more Olympic medals than you can count.
It has excelled in the arts – music, literature, painting, photography and so on. It has a dominant presence in Hollywood. From Errol Flynn in the early days to Nicole Kidman, Mel Gibson, the late Heath Ledger, Naomi Watts, Rachel Griffiths, Hugh Jackman and on an on the list goes.
Rupert Murdoch is a dominant world media player. As was Kerry Packer.
Australians invented the black box and the pacemaker amongst a host of other inventions currently in common use internationally. An Australian figured out how to mass produce penicillin.
Surely there is a lesson there somewhere for the Singapore Government and our education bureaucrats if they stopped to think for a second, with an open mind.
