I will put it in very simple terms.
Singaporeans are ugly.It is not just their appearance that is ugly. Some might look physically ugly, but it does not mean that they are ugly totally. Internal beauty, their behaviours, habits and even genes, is what is seriously lacking in a Singaporean.
I believe that all people are generally good natured. However, that has proven to be a utopia in Singapore's context.
Criticisms and vulgarities are a norm in
Singaporean's language besides that typical
Singlish that we have invented throughout these years. If the speak good
english campaign is considered to be effective and achieving great results, maybe.. just maybe.. its time to take a step back and see what kind of excellent
english people (young and old) are using nowadays. It seems like older generations who were alienated from
english are educated with words like 'bastard' and 'stupid' before they learn words like 'sorry' and 'Thank you'. Maybe these latter words are not even learnt to begin with. A simple quote: 'bastard! purposely one is it!'. This was taken from a 50 odd year old going 60 year old auntie while I was having a bus ride to home. Point proven. Ill-mannered, uncouth, an ugly
Singaporean made indeed.
Compassion is a word that is very vaguely defined. For me, it is defined as helping people who are more needy. It is a privilege to be able to give then to take. A friend of mine once told me: to have compassion means you are able to embrace and love everyone and anyone regardless of what their background, status might be. I do not see that in a true blue Singaporean. A simple gesture of giving up one's sit for the old or pregnant or just simply anyone who needs the sit more than you require signs and special colour scheme sits to remind Singaporeans. Even so, it is constantly ignored. On my way home everyday, during the peak hours, the onrushing and never ending human traffic swamps the
MRT station. Standing place is already a scarcity let alone sits. I once saw an old lady holding a walking stick standing in front of a young couple playing a PSP. Incredibly, the old lady seemed to be transparent to them and they had a big 'PLEASE GIVE THIS SIT TO THE NEEDY' tagged on top of their head. Crowding at the door of the bus before the bus door opens and basically scanning of the EZ link card before alighting the bus are just gestures that show Singaporean struggling throughout their lives. Singaporeans focuses on these scarcities and would struggle all their life to achieve the scarcity. Thus creating this ugly Singaporean culture that we see today.
How often do you see Singaporeans like to make a mountain out of a molehill over the most meagre of arguments? They can preach to their children and friends that patience is a virtue, and learn to forgive and forget. Yet they are not aware that they are wearing the mask of hypocrisy. Accidents do happen. That is what everyone was told and I believed that this is so. I do not hide behind that mask of hypocrisy and blaming people who accidentally step on me on the bus or when they nudge me in the back. Much to my dismay, that ugly Singaporean auntie that I mentioned earlier did not think so. Assuming that my statment about preaching to people to forgive and forget was told to that auntie and by that auntie is true, she totally lost her marbles when an ACCIDENT had happened. An accidental step/nudge on her warranted a bastard cry. Who was she trying to embarass? I think it wasn't the person who stepped on her but herself. It just shows how hypocritical and ill-tempered she was. To put it in a jokingly way, I would probably think her husband did not give her good sex that's why she is so worked up over a small accident as what my colleague would say. Why would people become fucked up? Probably they are already fucked up in the first place. Malaysia truly asia, then Singapore is truly UGLY!
