Challenge for change in Singapore

I am pessimistic about the future of Singapore. This is largely due to the kind of leaders that are now in charge in Singapore. But my pessimism is due more to the kind of people and the culture in Singapore.

Let me explain my view.

They live with their parents until they get married. Parents took care of everything. Some singles in their thirties still live with parents. They don't even know how to change a tyre.

Most are brought up by maids. They are used to having things done for them.

How many take public transport to school? Before school ends to take a look at cars queuing to pick them up or maids or grandparents waiting at side gate.

One super-duper kid got under the balls st Ikea, and the family had to complain to the whole world. Most are wrapped in cotton-wool.

Some parents slapped other children because they are roughened up by the other kids.

When the Singaporeans went to discuss business with other countries, words like "Oh in Singapore we do it this way". That is the only sentence they can come up with.

Some maids went back to the countries for annual leave. All one can hear from the Singaporean substitutes were "your house is too big to clean or your house has got too much clutter". The next show-up would be a different face from the agencies. Agencies also headache.

In the end, not all employers can be wrong by not hiring them? Without good staffs, the company also cannot move. Xia Suay.; September 07, 2020 2:46 PM

Also, look at the past many low stooply jokes and mentality shown by the local leaders speech ranging from free pork rib soup, free smoke joke to mee siam mai hum, steal other people's lunches, dowager pointing middle finger on Facebook, and no sacking over foreign workers dormitories mishap, these are the obvious red flags; September 08, 2020 3:24 AM
