Embarrassed to flash Sg passport in foreign countries?
-
I remembered doing a survey on Singapore's mandatory death sentence. I have a pretty much mixed reaction. My qns was: 'What do you think of Singapore's Mandatory Death penalty?' I specifically highlighted some of the offences which constitute to mandatory death penalty. Many agree the law is too harsh; the judge should be given more discretion. Thinking back, if I rephrased my qns as: 'Foreigners labeled Singapore's death penalty as barbaric, do u agree?' My feedbacks might be very different. While many Singaporean appreciated some of the inappropriate practices, they cannot accept criticism from foreigners.
Just recently, a PRC described(I didn't agree) us 'gangsters' and 'dogs' which caused an outrage over the internet. Singaporeans over the net were quick to unite and condemned actions of that PRC. If a Singaporean rephrase and ask a qns: 'Are Singaporean generally rude?' The feedback might be very different. Furthermore, I seen much more terrible criticism against PRC from Singaporean, Why are they unpunished?
I am not unique but I am open to criticism; regardless from foreigners or fellow Singaporeans. As long as there are constructive, I am very willing to listen with no animosity.

Try going to another country and belittling it and its people on their turf, and see whether you'll get a different reaction.

Nothing new there, nations try to dictate how other nations conduct their affairs all the time using boycotts, wars and treaties. Case in point - Bahrain 2 months ago.

I am embarrassed to identify my nationality bcuz of some of the bad practice in Sg which give foreigners a bad impression - specifically on our human rights practice. The above report further substantiate my assertion.

Of cuz it's nothing new, but it is something to be concerned........
Takeover rejected bcuz of protecting country's iconic organisation, protecting ur employee, bid price, synergy issue are fair............ but for human rights issue(nothing new), isn't it something to think about.............

Fair enuff....good answer.... I respect you(seriously, not being sarcastic).....

If you are concerned by the poor human rights record in Singapore, you should direct your attacks at the PAP, no need to raise the passport issue.

They have each told you what they think and why you shouldn't be ashame, but in return you just present some report twisted report about Singapore.
Clearly it is your intention to bring out these reports, your ashamed of presenting the pass port is just to detract people from your agenda.

When my topic is 'embarrassed to flash passport(identify my nationality),' clearly I have the intention to bring out negative things about Sg. How can I be embarrassed without any negativity. Yes! u guys gave me an answer(thanks alot), but it want to noe more; it didn't not satisfy my curiosity. I honestly wish to noe more of ur opinion. I assumed that what forum is for. Acutally, I have alot non-political or nationality related qns to ask(not asking for help, just views), but I dun want create to many topics at the same time
The passport thingy isn't a scam, It's honestly how I felt.
Lastly, I am not here to create any hostility - I am not agitated(in case u misunderstood) in any way, in fact, I am very happy to noe all of your views. Seriously, I look forward(lol) to browse through this thread at times. If any of u guys feel very offended, inform me, this will be my last post in this topic
