It's irrelevant as apparently not much of this (if existing in such extent as you suggest) turns into any form of physical violence or other types of crime. Your theory about the police sweeping such things under the carped can be easily disprove in this case as this is a survey made by Tripadvisor based on the tourists opinion so has nothing to do with the statistics.sabaisabai wrote:Singapore is safe? That is the biggest joke I've heard. Almost every other person on the street wants to bite each other's head off. Look at the way they treat (and look) at each other, with pure coldness and malice. Look at the way they squabble and try to do each other in all the time just so they can feel better. Check out parliaments in East Asia, the Taiwanese and Koreans fight in parliament all the time much less on the streets. They don't fight in the Chinese/North Korean Parliament because it is a dictatorship like Singapore but people treat each other the same way, like dirt.
They generally resort to violence and fighting for everything. You cannot have different opinions and sit down as friends and talk over beer. To the Asians, it means you are their enemy and must be beaten up, or stabbed in the back etc.
Try walking up to any Singaproean and saying 'hi how are ya'. They are so selfish and bitter they just look at you like a rapist. Because in their minds, and culture, they are thinking, why would another person say hi to them without wanting anything (money etc) in return?

Your opinions are so extreme that apparently some people, including myself, see a possible link between what/how you perceive the reality and your personality or some other personal factors. Still this has nothing to do with a personal attack. Sad to say but you seem to have troubles distinguishing the causes from the effects. You automatically assumes effect based on possible causes even with no evident link to the effects. The above and the whole safety point being the clear examples.sabaisabai wrote: 1.

I truly can't think of a single Western expatriate who truly likes Singapore after spending more than a few months in the country. Even my Chinese friends can't believe how nasty the locals are.x9200 wrote:Your opinions are so extreme that apparently some people, including myself, see a possible link between what/how you perceive the reality and your personality or some other personal factors.
