Expats including myself tend to criticize Singapore and locals get sometimes offended but in 99% of the cases this is just misunderstanding. Criticizing does not mean saying that something is worse or inferior. Usually means that something is different to what we got used to and we are all conditioned by our own cultures. Sometimes I just can't help myself. You may want to read the thread on culture shock but again, do not take some opinions expressed there too personal or better say nationalistic.SGBoyxxx wrote:![]()

Tell us what you really think about having a one chamber government, racial harmony, filial piety, the education system, about us foreigners coming in and snatching either the gold diggers or the good gals... (a friend of mine once told me jokingly that we come and snatch the best girls, buy the best condos, take the best jobs and leave the scraps to the locals). How do you see your own country and where do you see it heading? What could be improved and why, what is good and why?

Gotta say Sg Boy, that Singa's pretty damned good for expats. It's safe and clean and almost everything is available, There's an oustanding airport and a well-run taxi-service with courteous drivers. The cost of living isn't cheap, but most of us have salaries that allow for this.
There's also this great website where one can give grief and bother to other expats - and locals! SO come on- I've answered your question now how about you answer mine. Do the locals all happily sing the National Anthem? I wonder about this cos it's in Malay and could therefore be a source of mm......discontentment! I think it's a beautiful song by the way!
You should stop apologising in every single post. You have nothing to apologies for. So start being a bit self confident please.SGBoyxxx wrote:econoMIC wrote:Don't worry about your level of English.

I am remb one news is about uk workers?they are very piss off of workers from another european countries come to uk work and snatch their jobs ....?
since u are expat in sg cool I wonder which country you from?
how long you have stay in sg ?
how u find sg ?
for me I know the young generation in sg seem more feel kinda piss with present gov.They want more opposition party to go in .
I am not surprised here just look at japan.
about racial harmony well so far we still can mix with fellow races .
but to be frankly most of us still stick to individual races more.
This is human natural for what I feel.We do respect each others .
about the education system here?
I feel is too stressful for the kids
here is too much on theory side.
for what I feel .
about foreigners come to sntach our job?our girls lol....
well I feel this cannot be prevent .Actually is no singapore , other countries also have foreigners come to work and migrate there.
I don;t feel angry or what an "ang mo" with a local singaporean girls
is the same where asian guy with an " ang mo" girls
I am open minded on this kind of issues
maybe most singaporean mindset still narrow minded.
sometimes you cannot blame them
due to the society which the gov created here.
maybe I am seem talk like a kid ?bear with me ...this is my point of view..maybe I haven;t fully mature yet?lol
Now I am confused. Apparently not everything you said here can be sarcastic meaning there is no sarcasm at all. So what taxi services do you actually use?ozchick wrote:Gotta say Sg Boy, that Singa's pretty damned good for expats.

I did not mean necessary rude but unfortunately I know pretty spectacular cases from the first hand with the driver being reported to LTA. I generally agree with the list of good things said by Ozchick. Only the taxi services do not fit for me here.
