New to Singapore - what is an SPG?

[IMA]

Hi Guys,

I have recently moved to Singapore as a result of business expansion and am keen to meet local ladies.

I have read several comments in previous forums referring to SPG's.

Can somebody kindly explain what an SPG is?

[Bafana]

SPG refers to Sarong Party Girl made even more famous by the book of the same name - Go down to Popular and get yourself a copy as it is really funny and see myself in the mirror as the typical Ang Mo many times (Have attached scan of cover)

Basically an SPG is a more then friendly Singaporean girl who lkikes to date Ang Mo's - She is more outgoing in terms of sexual adventures and less stuck in her cultural issues

For clarifications:

Popular: Popular Bookshop
Ang Mo (chinese dialect) refers to Caucasian

FYI ...

Short for Ang Moh Kio, meaning, by all means correct me if I'm wrong, Red Haired Monkey.

Always meant affectionately, I'm sure.

Should be Ang Moh Kow - Red Haired Monkey

Kow is Monkey
Kio is Carrot

Some chinese hokkien terms

So the road is called Red Haired Carrot : : : That's weird, no? Why call a road after a hairy vegetable? That isn't even hairy. A red haired monkey (like an Orang Utang) I understand. But a carrot?

Weird.

There is another meaning for Kio - Bridge ...

I presume Ang Mo Kio means Red Haired Bridge? or perhaps in the past there was a bridge in that area that was occupied by westerners? And thats how it got its name from ....

Just my guess 8)

I work in construction and I asked some of the local contractor's when I made the connection between the two names - Apparantly the engineeer who designed the bridge was a westerner and had red hair

Anyway thats what I was told...

IMA, whats the need to know?

Have fun finding out anyway

Makes sense Bafana.

Although it's still a bit funky that we Caucs would be associatd with red hair, because red hair in the West is more the exception than the rule.

Brown haired monkey would 've been more correct I think.

Is it too late to switch to this?

SPGs are usually chinese sluts who needs validation and attention when they are walking with a white guy. Its true. they put a snobby freak face.

What's the matter? Lose your Girlfriend to an Expat? Sure sounds like a case of sour grapes to me. They don't need validation and attention when walking with a white guy. They already have it.

[La grande boucle]

Validation? That sounds a bit too scientific for the occasion I'd say.

[zjules]

What would you call a more then friendly Ang moh guy who likes to date Singaporeans?
I think the whole SPG thing has been taken a bit far, so that its now used to refer to ANY Singaporean girl who is seen with an 'Ang moh'...

I always felt that my reason of coming here to Singapore as "Validation Engineer" wasn't for a pharmaceutical plant project. Thanks to you, ladies and gentlemen, I know what I have to do. I will include SPG validation in my resume
