Re: American expat: Singaporeans behave like ‘chimpanzees’ in the Singapore Zoo
You must be the luckiest guy.
There are 2 main reasons. Firstly local and FT staff tend to take care of foreigners is because of the tip. Many have no clue about the service charge or can't break the habit of tipping. A Singaporean will usually not tip. You see this kind of behavior in restaurants which has a mixed clientele. Another reason why some staff give in to foreigners is the inability to articulate themselves and prefer not to engage in a conversation. Local staff will tell you that Angmo tend to make special request all the time - no gluten, little salt, less sugar, less spicy, not to dry, not to wet, reject dish etc. Seat must be near window, don't bring this plate after 20 mins etc. To avoid all this, they just agree to anything to avoid any further pain.
Angmo is also not afraid to call management. Notice the younger of Singaporeans will not tolerate this nonsense. Look how Gary Tan wrote and then responded, cool as a cucumber. Ang Mo director now stuck.
We owe to our younger generation to speak where our generation has failed. We are only good at fighting with local Malays and Indians.
You should see how Singaporeans behave in SQ Business and first class, any incident keep quiet, other races have to speak up for them.

If you have the money you can choose where you want to spend it. Obviously many businesses in Spore can discriminate against Sporeans & still get away with it. How else can you explain all the discrimination that goes on against Sporeans:(
