I have an interesting conversation with my Thai friend. I ask her what she thinks about Singaporean truthfully.
She told me that Singaporeans as in what other thais think:
- overly discplined
- Mechanical
- Smart
- No sex appeal
She find it hilarious that SG govt is trying all sorts of attempt to boost birth rate.
If you have any thai friends you can ask them. This Thai friend of mine speaks better English than most sinkies.
Ideas across the world to boost the birth rate or lower it has always been comical, not something that's a first from singapore for trying
From what i have noticed throughout the thread, i see patriotic citizens voicing their thoughts through this discussion. Be it pro govt or anti govt policies, everyone has a point but to call your own citizens sinkies is something that points out that you might have a personal vendetta against the people that come from the same birthplace as you.
There are many netizens that will stand up for govt policies and there are others that will downright denounce the policies that are put up.
Same applies to what you might have wanted to discuss, but there are probably more forum folks who are against your points put out. If you, Mr Tony, is so passionate about changing "sinkies", as that's how you describe certain kind of singaporeans, then i'd say try to make a difference. Run for elections, i might just vote for you if you can convince me you'd make a difference.
Patriotic??? i see it more like can't be mature enough to handle when get views they do not like to hear, you mean u need a govt to teach them to do that be mature? oh gosh... If human being is seen as so dependent on other in order to be a proper one, i guess being first world is still a long way to go. Kassem is right, sinkies need an authority if not they cannot live.i see patriotic citizens voicing their thoughts through this discussion
my humble opinion of sinkie..
sinkies who have migrated loves to put down sinkies still in singapore.. dunno why?? perhaps being 2nd class citizen in other country is too stressful..
somebody has been doing this since the last forum... and he is still continuing his tone in the new forum.. chey.. boring
Are you kidding me bro bebo?? Name me one other asian country that has English literacy rate as high as ours. Dun be taken in by all the garment propaganda about how we must speak queen's english and all that. Every society has its own cultural and ethnic roots and thus language will evolve accordingly.
pls lah dun pretend.. i have been observing u since the last forum.. u are a loser sinkie who cannot make it in spore, migrate to become 2nd class citizen elsewhere, and now to appease your hatred for being a failure here, start to bash sinkies.. chey, no class
thanks for the compliment, but i think the attributes that u listed shouldnt be exclusive for sgporeans to adopt, bt perhaps for all humanity. if every1 learns to take a step back, life'd be a lot more pleasent, 1 less argument, 1 less squabble, 1 less fight... 1 less war(many lives spared)
Bro tonychat,
I'm already living,working and socialising like a thai in Thailand.
I'm legally married to a thai wife with my own legal thai baby girl.
I've my own co. and I pay taxes every year.
I travel to and stay in many province.
I can tell you I know the thai more than you.
Let me offer you my personal opinion on this thread subject started by you.
It is totally unnecessary at all to have created this topic.
Your statement or your thai friends statement is not appropriate at all.
So does this make me a sinkie too? Or do I still possesses a sinkie mind?
Bro ahpek65 comment below is well said and you should heed his advice.
what i think :
1) thai men make good construction workers
2) thai women make good chicken...
the above statement is as stupid as what your thai fren thinks about singaporeans..
rubbish thread... anyoldhow generalise
I do not wish to enter into any defensive arguement or try to convince you about your fault.
All I can say is there are many more forumers be it sporean or others who read this thread....most will disagree with you.
Lower yourself and be humble bro !
You've have met me in bkk b4.
So you know I'm telling you the facts and not hiding behind a screen to talk rocks.
Jai yien yien !
Chokdee na krup !

You can observe this thread carefully from the start and check out who starts all the sinkie bashing. You can even use the quote feature to quote it out and direct it there.
Knowing to speak thai means they know alot about the thai and thailand?
Some ppl are reli not shy.
Khun sabai dee mai? Pom poot phasa thai dee kern mak tae wa yak mern kan

Toot wan yu tee ban mi kwam soot len yu kup look sau pom.
Look sau narak lerkor kao mak mak. ( hehe sori spelling not so good )
I've no problem communicating in my daily life in bkk but still can't manage to phrase a whole proper sentences even after living here for 3yrs + lol
Note :
This conversation is just between me and bro suteerak so I hope no one will come in and start a war.Pls respect our wish.
bro tonychat,
your friend is basically stereotyping some other singaporeans and had the idea all of us is the same.
well like one bro who mention all thai chicks are chickens- this is not true at all.
It's useful feedback to know what others esp our neighbours think of us.NOt a problem at all, any kinds of views and comments are welcome.
Anyway my Thai friends main observation about Singaporeans is that many still have to work until very old.They were surprised to see many elderly Singaporeans working as cleaners,road sweepers, taxi drivers ect2 in what is supposedly an affluent society.
This is an opinion and usually there is "no smoke without Fire ".
