Where are the friendly Singaporeans I knew?

HAVING visited Singapore, one of our favourite destinations, many times in the past 25 years, my wife and I were shocked at the deterioration in attitudes towards tourists. The signs were already there on our last visit four years ago.

The first thing we noticed as elderly people, particularly when using the Mass Rapid Transit, was that the youth have no respect for the elderly and the seats reserved for them and pregnant or handicapped people.

It is also dangerous getting on and off the train when one is shoved out of the way time and again.

Another observation is that nobody smiles or returns a greeting any more. Taxi drivers, particularly, used to be a wealth of information and eager to point out areas of interest but are now, mostly a surly lot.

Service has also deteriorated in shops and restaurants, where many of the staff can hardly speak English, are rude and abrupt. As for the words "please" and "thank you", they do not exist.

It will not be long before it becomes just a rat race, like in many other cities. Has progress taken away Singapore's soul, the essence of being human, of recognising one another?

Your city is beautiful, your buildings tall and proud, yet to walk along the streets and see the surliness of a face is disheartening.​

HAVING visited Singapore, one of our favourite destinations, many times in the past 25 years, my wife and I were shocked at the deterioration in attitudes towards tourists. (Attitude towards tourists are still the same, just that you saw FTrash) The signs were already there on our last visit four years ago. (There were never any sign, it was a full matinee from many years back)

The first thing we noticed as elderly people, particularly when using the Mass Rapid Transit, was that the youth have no respect for the elderly and the seats reserved for them and pregnant or handicapped people. Quality of FTrash that do not read, write or understand the local languages)

It is also dangerous getting on and off the train when one is shoved out of the way time and again.(40% rabid strays from Dogland, shitland & flipland!)

Another observation is that nobody smiles or returns a greeting any more. Taxi drivers, particularly, used to be a wealth of information and eager to point out areas of interest but are now, mostly a surly lot. (No reason to)

Service has also deteriorated in shops and restaurants, where many of the staff can hardly speak English, are rude and abrupt. As for the words "please" and "thank you", they do not exist. (Again staff by FTrash from dogland, shitland & flipland, being rude is their nature)

It will not be long before it becomes just a rat race, like in many other cities. Has progress taken away Singapore's soul, the essence of being human, of recognising one another? (Only FTrash, nothing worth recognising)

Your city is beautiful, your buildings tall and proud, yet to walk along the streets and see the surliness of a face is disheartening. (There's more shit than Singaporeans, what do you expect)

Obviously this Ang mo is dealing or encountering with other FTrash been mistaken as Singaporean.

 

[scroobal]

I think its both. He meeting FTs who don't any better and Singaporean sick of Ang Mos who have taken their jobs and probably they are parents visiting or staying with their locally employed children.

I understand that we can see elderly Ang Mo parents spending time at local Kopi Tiam nursing beer late at night. Any can confirm.

Angmos in kopitiams are quite a common sight these days. On some nights you can see a few of the older ones having drinks.

 

[Kinana]

We singkies hate everybody. FTs, tourists, govt, elders and even ourselves.

 

[Prometheus888]

We singkies hate everybody. FTs, tourists, govt, elders and even ourselves.

Thank you captain obvious... and the reason is because.....????

 

[hairylee]

This is not what PAP wants to hear.
He will be banned from Singapore, persona non grata.

 

[Kohliantye]

There are so may of these species hanging around our hawker centres.

I personally know of one who is about 58 years of age and married to a local Chinese maiden, who is only in her late 20s. Sometimes she is there with a baby.

This sloppy dude hangs around in Serangoon North. Claims to be an Irish but speaks more like a local. His English is also screwed-up.

Always condemns the government for expensive beers, cigarettes and cost of living.

Has many a times told us that he wants to go back to his CUNTRY but we still find him around.

Maybe the Immigration Dept's "Overstayers & Hopeless Visitors Section" "detectives" should raid this coffeeshop and check on this man.
