I will be the first to admit that I do complain about alot of things here in Singapore.
However I must also give credit where credit is due.
I have full faith that any Singaporean will come to anyones aid if anything bad would happen to them. Such as being mugged, beat up, fainting, anything that might happen to someone that requires the normal citizens assistance.
This peace of mind is very relieving when it comes to my children. Coming from the States you could not let your children out of your sight in fears of abduction or molestation.
If ever I was overcome by the heat as was to faint I am sure that people would not step over me and steal my wallet. Well someone might steal my wallet.
Well done Singapore.
And happy birth day.
Sorry to go off thread.
how long have u been in singapore ?? i don mean to put all the singaporeans down, i' singaporean myself but sometimes (i mean most of the times... ) there'd be tons of people standing around in a situation whereby someone needs help (eg. if someone fainted or got into an accident... - and believe me, i've been there myself...) but everyone simply stood around and whispered to one another, saying what should be done so on and so forth... of cos we have to give credit to those who did something for the people (shamelessly, myself, frens and family included...)
they'd not steal ur wallet for sure, but i don't know if it was from fear or integrity... besides, there're tons of people watching, remember??
anyway, its just my views maybe bcz i've just seen more of the bad side of singaporeans... however, of cos this applies to any other countries or tribes or community etc etc ...
