Survey found that we are slightly more gracious than the scums in white

SINGAPORE : A survey conducted by the Singapore Kindness Movement (SKM) has found an unhealthy level of self-centeredness and self-absorption among Singaporeans.

The "State of Graciousness in Singapore" survey found a significant gap between Singaporeans' self-perception on how they performed when it comes to graciousness versus their perception on how fellow citizens fared.

Forty-three per cent of those polled rated themselves high on graciousness, while only 15 per cent rated others likewise.

General Manager of SKM, Dr William Wan, said it is the attitude that the movement wants to change.

But he admitted that it will be a challenge because Singaporeans are indifferent to improving their graciousness.

More than 60 per cent agreed with the statement "It is not possible for Singapore to become a more gracious place due to the hectic and stressed lifestyle in Singapore", while only 38 per cent disagreed.
This year, Singaporeans scored 60 on the graciousness index, compared to 61 in 2010 and 58 in 2009.

Overall, 48 per cent felt the level of graciousness has not changed, 25 per cent felt it has improved, 8 per cent felt it has declined, and 18 per cent were unsure.

Singaporeans also pointed to public transport, public spaces and public eating places as the top three areas that needed the most improvement in the survey which involved some 1,400 people.

Nothing will change until the old leaf & his family are gone lah.

I was told by foreign academic friends that Spore is being observed by many sociologists because this country & society is a test tube country

The PAP has total control of the media. The economy is centrally planned & controlled economy. People's ideas are molded by gov't campaigns. It is a closed country as one can get to a controlled environment i.e. required in experiments.

In other words, Sporeans are the PAP's guinea pigs

All this is of course changing with the internet & foreigner influx exposing Sporeans to the outside world.

It is impossible to be gracious society when the govt. is selfish, greedy, uncaring, boastful, unaccountable and irresponsible?. How to be gracious when the govt. told its people to go to old folks home in another country if they are poor, increase the price of electricity every 3 months, up tansport fares every year, tax citizens to the brim with COE, ERP, GST and kiam chai zhar loti? How to be gracious when traitor PAP bring in loads and loads of foreigners to compete with sinkies for jobs.
FUCK THIS GOVT

One of the most kiasu, kiasi, kiawa, kiabor, kiakiah, and kiasai people are living in Singapore... how can you expect these people to be gracious?

A fact for all to know... Singaporeans are known to be one of the proudest people on earth, almost paralleled to the fucking french!
