Singaporeans Are Rude, Arrogant, Filthy……
Please don’t flame me. I am just quoting what an Angmoh (supposingly) said in Singapore Craiglist. Here it goes:
Yup, the locals are not clean at all, they live like filthy rats. Just check out the coffee shops, it is dirty, not even a dog would eat at that place. If there were no slave laborers, this place would be a bigger dump.
The locals are just rude, guess its part of their upbringing. After all the parents don’t know shit either on how to raise their lazy brats.
There is no animal you can compare the locals too, it would be an insult to the animal kingdom. Even in the animal kingdom there are social rules…..let other come out first before you can get in. But these rice bangers don’t get that concept yet. They are as dumb as a bucket of shrimp.
You want to find selfish, arrogant and filthy motherfuckers in Asia…..you are at the right place.
I just walk out and push my way trough the MRT. I step on shoes, rip open plastic bags and just keep walking.
Oh yeah and the trick with reserving a table with a fucking napkin pack….will not fly here. I sit down anyway, and I also keep the napkin pack.
And a message to the fat hippo population….loose some fucking weight.
Not all are like what he said lah. I personally know many Singaporeans with wonder personalities. Do you agree with what he said?
Been there and done that. I met a Singaporean couple in Tokyo airport making noice acting rudely with the Japanese staff.. Arrogance is the word that least describes their attitude. Singapore has been populated with low stock from China as LKY says. Unless there is introspection and dialogue nothing will change.
i hv been there vacation like 4 nite , and i was disapoint at d last day at chargin airport! de staff at there are rude and careless! i was pretty sure i still can make it to d boarding but they refuse to let me! cx of d radio girl say its close and they dun giv a shit about me! and jz say sorry! i Please them and say my whole family is ordy in d waiting room and i was alone out there! and i cant go back to my own country! they jz ignore me! i please again den some1 came and scold me! he said ” did u heard jz now the radio girl said? yes! u go tok to her” WHAT THE FUCK? wat is tat ATTITUDE!? u dont feel i was left alone!? and i ask at least can u try to help me plz!!? they all leave me! wth!!? FUCK U SINGAPOREEAN AND THE TAXI THERE! “WHAT? so near also need ride taxi!? go walk urself lah!” WHAT THE HELL!? i nid ur service and u guys tok like tat? i really regret visit singapore!
i agree, singaporean are just rude. never work for a singaporean boss, else they will treat u like a dog (sigh, at least dogs got TLC). having a singaporean client is like a curse, they can treat u, humiliate u and etc without any compassion (not that they do a good job). but when u talk about their mistakes, they can go berserk like a loose cannon….big ego but pea brain…..
not all of them… i’ve been here for almost 5yrs. at first really i thought they are rude but when you learn about their culture it will be different… every country has different culture. lets say for example if you call somebody “hey”, in your country thats ok, here in singapore is being already rude… same idea. please try to learn first before judging and publishing this kind of statement… its unfair for the rest…
I wouldn’t say so. I have never had a horrible experience with any of them. As fas i know, they are pretty courteous. Perhaps a few times, some have been rather rude and unhelpful but who wouldn’t expect that in any culture?
No doubt Singaporean are getting no manners at all. It is hard to hear I am sorry.. Excuse me… or Thank You. I think that ang moh who wrote it must have some real bad experience…but i think those non-asian countries, you will also face rude people and dirty/smelly people..
i strongly disagree with the above statements. Singapore is a pleasant place to live in. The wonders of the people are just spectacular. Furthermore, statistics has shown that America(NOT AN ASIAN COUNTRY) has the highest obesity rate in the world, so, why should Singapore be described as “fat hippo population” ? this is downright unjust! Singaporeans are better than you think. having visted singapore for the past 15 years, i see no wrong with their culture and rich heritage. surely, the splattering of the laksa sauce on the shirt is your own problem!
& the service here is good, deal with your own issues.
YES i strongly agree with barbordur! As singaporeans we should be patriotic and stand up for our country
And singapore shld be a tomato instead!
I agree with what Barbordur said. Singaporeans are indeed much better than you think. I agree that Singapore does indeed have a few flaws but which countries don’t? even the “ang moh” countries do! Who says Singaporeans are a “bucket of dumb shrimp” i have met a few Singaporeans on my visits here and their ebi is good. I especially love this dish called cereal prawns. the wasabi kind is not bad either. They most certainly do not live like filthy rats either. Have you driven past an estate in Singapore? It is the cleanest in Asia. I hope you think my stand into consideration. Singapore is the best country i’ve been to so far!
-Rhinogirl.
In reply to happymeal
Thats precisely my point! We Singaporeans ought to stand up for our country and do what is right. Singaporeans are very ceurteous. i can say that as i am a role model myself.
why the sudden craving for shrimp? sushi tei has really good wasabi- go try it!
singapore toilets are pretty clean too! squeeeky clean 
Yes indeed. we must show our love for Singapore on more than just National Day. We cannot be all talk and no action. Therefore, instead of criticising Singapore over here, we should instead join forces and try to bring Singapore to greater heights, somewhere where we will not be slammed for being ungracious anymore.
STAND UP STAND UP FOR SINGAPORE~
I am Singaporean. Have been to many other Asian countries and also Western ones, and i feel that Singapore is a very dveloped country. Skyscrapers, modern shopping centres and good food.
However i agree that many Sinaporeans think that they the the wisest and most intelligent beings. The teenage generation, are rude, disrespectful, some brainwashed that results in school is absolutely everything, and many more, KEYBOARD WARRIORS.
This next generation could cause the downfall if Singapore.
Singapore is plain awesome.
NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE WHAT A COOL PLACE IT IS!
I WANT TO STAY THERE FOR LIFE!
THE HARMONY THERE IS PERFECT!
I WANT PEACE
I LOVE SINGAPORE!
I THINK SINGAPORE IS COOL
Singapore is indeed awesome.
I really admire the racial & religious harmony there. The people are really tolerant of each others believes and that quality is hard to come by in the world. the only complaint i have about Singapore would be the weather. The heat is really unbearable sometimes but other than that, I am proud to be Singaporean & would gladly live in Singapore for the rest of my life.
SINGAPORE ROCKS MY SOCKS~
hmm. i only visited singapore 5 times.
kind of have a good impression.
i particularly love singlish
it makes me feel so relax. i can express myself the way i want too without needing to think of a complex word LA!
i love Singapore!
In my opinion, every country will have their fair share of rude and ungracious people, hence it is not right to say that only Singaporeans are rude and cranky!
Most of the young generation are actually quite sensible and gracious people. The key to stop the curt behaviour of Singaporeans is to Stop Complaining and Start Educating!
Then singapore wld be a much happier place!
Potatoes ftw
i agree with bad boy a lot. it is true that every country has their fair share of problems with ungracious behaviour and Singapore is not immune to it too. i believe that instead of complaining and criticising countries, we should all start small and be gracious to the different people we encounter in life, be it cleaners or high ranking officials.
Lets all make an effort to change the world into a kinder and gracious place.
Cranky.
You are sick in the head, you want to live in that concrete dump all your life, to own a car will cost you a packet, you will pay for a lego style apartment all of your life that you will never own.
I was unlucky to live there for 3 years, i noticed that you lot spend most of the time waiting in a line at some crap bank or post office, even ATM machines have a long line of people.
The hawker centers are just plain filthy, stay at one until midnight and see the rats come out and walk all over the table tops.
I have seen so many rats at the food court at West Mall, the toilets have no soap, no hand towels and it stinks of piss, the people who serve the food can’t wash thier hands after going to toilet.
Then you have the rude drivers, i had a punch up with a twat who ran me off the road, i punched him one on the chin and enjoyed it.
Get a real life, i couldn’t wait to leave the dump and I try my hardest never to return, but sadly I have to go there for work but I get out ASAP.
I’ve visited Singapore and stay there for a week. I’m agree with the “ang mo” that singaporean are rude and arrogant. Of course the local people wouldn’t perceived that their own kind are rude and unfriendly. Coz they were get used to this type of life.
As a foreigner, i think singaporean are rude, arrogant and unfriendly.
As a singaporean,you people who are saying these filthy things about singapore really are brainless cretins..your fucking force fed education,we cant give more of a rat’s ass about,you dont like it here?FUCK OFF,that would be more of a service to have your worthless little life be gone from the face of this earth,you are merely a hindrance to society you pitiful little half witted dimwit,you people who are criticizing singaporeans.go fucking learn proper grammar.Lose some weight?well you can fucking worry about your fatass europeans first,last time i checked i remember quite clearly that the rate of obesity is much higher there!most of them look like they are suffering from bloody elephantiasis.
singaporeans are \nn/
I believe everywhere you definitely can meet rude and inconsiderate people, they are flooded internationally. Like Shanghai, probabilities of meeting one irritating case is definitely a Will!
I just can’t accept Singapore who promote themselves as if they are so developed in economy and everything. Singapore is just as bad as China or worst at certain areas. But, it’s understandable for China since it’s still developing and China is willingly to learn. As compared to Singaporeans who love to act smart by rebuking even in their mistakes. I just hate the working culture in Singapore!
Yes! Some Singaporeans feel so proud to place their tissue papers to reserve tables! They are bloody irritating! Singapore cab drivers are one of the worst drivers in asia too! Their best service is bring you around Singapore even there’s a shortest route! And don’t expect them to help you with your luggage even though they alight their car. I had a real bad experience with one who acted as if he was so helpful. Faked! He doesn’t want me to scratch his car. He helped me to lift my luggage out of this car boot and let go my luggage i the air before touches the floor that nearer broke my back! He was still smiling at me when I questioned him! Driving to hell, some doesn’t know their way, keep asking you personal questions, etc!
Definitely Singaporeans are not in sync with how city shines, looks like. They are ill bred, cheap, ill mannered, un-skilled, dumb and inhuman. I am here for more than 3 years now. I saw a boy with mother kicking a philipino guy in row for ATM repeatedly, guy is looking at his mother to advice him. his mother is not bothered at all! another guy with parents kicks on a european tourists’ balls, parents are not bothered again. A older singaporean settles his feet in MRT on my bag (everyone around is surprised to see that). i request him and he curses me in chinese. At australian high commission the security guard is requesting everyone to be in queue- a chinese lady really abuses him using all wrong words in english, and boasts if he knows who she is!! i have endless number of such incidences to share. i will bet if you show a singaporean laughing ‘real’ and i will give 100$.I usually say to my friends in joke- that singapore looks happy/ laughing only in photos and films. children if never see their parents laughing joyously, how can we expect any generation to be happy, friendly. Worst population perhaps so far i have interacted.
Ok I was in Singapore for the first time last year and was actually surprise to see how developed the country was and also clean.It was ony a few areas that were unclean as for the people I don’t think anybody was rely rude and many were willing to help us tourist try to find our way around.I have to admit I was against the idea of visiting Singapore at first(thanks to what one Hollywood movie potrayed the Singaporeans as) but I guess Singapore was rely awesome.
Singaporeans are rude and arrogant and there is no doubt. The other asian peopl here are the same, too.
agreed. worked in that crowded rat place and other than the pay it really sucks big time. most crap place in the world.people are rude and arrogant. recent wikileaks proved it. really arrogant
I travell in between stopovers into Singapore often. I do agree with the first author, most Singaporeans are dark in their views & always whinging. Perhaps it is their upbringing. However Singapore is the only country I know where you don’t have to pay for a woman.
They may be not good looking but who’s complaining. They buy you drinks, eager to hook up with a foreigner, safe(they are not working girls) and available everytime you are in Singapore.
Most of them are single, graduates, “Plain Janes”, no hope of getting married but need to fullfill their desires. Head for bars around Clarke Quay, Mohammed Sultan, CBD & chances are you will team up with office workers, secretaries.
Remember, dress well, flater, show interest in them & their work, agree with their views & always complement. All this will lead to a score…..^^
My colleagues & I always have a ball in Singapore.
Enjoy the tip.
Singaporeans are the UGLIEST GOOKS in the world! They have no reason for being arrogant. They got no sports heroes, world reknowned personalities and no culture at all. They’re a nation of SISSIES and PUSSIES! during World War II, they wouldn’t even fight for their country and relied only from the Brits to defend them against the Japs. They wdidn’t even helped their colonizers in defending their rat infested small city against the Japs. And until today keep on whining about their fate in World War II. Stop being rudes Singapore gooks! Sonabagooks like you don’t deserve to be arrogants.
Maybe because they were colonized by the Brits, they think they’re whites. They try very hard too act like whites even changing their first names to English names, Hence we would encounter Singaporeans with funny names such as Ringo Wang, Cindy Chang, Brett Huang LOL!!!
What’s funnier is, you would notice their eyes blinking every time they pronounce their surnames. This made their lives pathetic and stressed that they forgot to smile making them look arrogant. LOL!!!
wowthisforumisgood could not have said it better. Singaporeans are arrogant, ignorant, and think the world of themselves.
And they even have the nerve to proudly say that english is their first english. Bah.
-Everyone has their own opinions on different matters. Truth is, it doesn’t really matter.. At the end of the day, everyone will lead their own lives and make their own choices.. There isn’t a need for sour grapes.. One must be a real retard if he or she lives/work/visits a country even when he or she hates it.. Please note that you have a choice, no one’s forcing you.
-And FYI, to those who said that Singapore is dirty are a bunch of jokes.. i guess the only filthy place would be their own homes. Singapore is best known for its cleanliness.
-The pretty girls are already taken up by the locals, those who linger around in pubs/clubs are probably the ugly and desperate ones who are in need of company.. good luck to those caucasians who think that they’re in for a bargain.
With regards to someone saying that Singapore cant defend herself during world war II, that was absolutely true. We were a British colony then, and the British empire were reaping ALL economic benefits of that country, and it was in its interest to defend the country. We trusted them to be good governors for the country. Despite out numbering the japanese troops 3 to 1, they surrendered unconditionally the moment the japanese invaded our island..
We thank the British for the Legislation and certain amount of order they brought the country, but that’s about it. We’re better off governing ourselves.
Some of the above comments are full of malice, and are obviously fictitious, as they are all individuals OPINIONS. The FACTS speak for themselves.
Just google Singapore, and view all articles relating to the Nation.. You will realize that we are so much more. Statistics show the kind of life we’re leading, as compared to people from other countries.
If there are still any detractors, i can assure u that while you’re whining away, we Singaporeans are still getting on with our lives, and very much enjoying every aspect of it..
@Singaporean =D, Well said ^^
Come on!
Where else in the world do you find citizens who simply stand by and not even utter a single word when their fellow countrymen are rounded up by the secret police?
Singaporeans are the most practical, pragmatic people on the face of this planet.
I think the locals call this the KS syndrome.
Everyone is out only for himself, herself, and cares little for his/her fellow citizens.
That is Singapore for you.
It is not really about rudeness. It is about selfishness and being pragmatic and practical to the point of absurdity.
As an Asian (not Singaporean!) brought up in the UK, I am pretty astonished at how rude the locals are here in Singapore. The country may have a stable infrastructure etc etc, but really I find it a pretty dull place to live in myself. Looking forward to getting my flight out of here.
Let’s be more accurate here shall we. It’s not ‘the locals’, but rather, ‘the chinese’. When we lump everyone together with the term ‘locals’, we tend to discount the lessons the chinese can learn from other ‘locals’ whom aren’t chinese.
I’m not saying the Malays or Indians are perfect. Far from it. But it’s just that their contradistinguishable perfections can cancel out each others imperfections – if the chinese had not been taught that as ‘the majority’, they need not bother with the perspectives of the non-chinese, which, unfortunately, has been the case for the last couple of decades.
You could say, because of that, there are greater similarities between the local chinese and the chinese from China, then there are between the local chinese and the Malays and Indians in Singapore. Which is why when the xenophobic Temasek Review, amongst others, started terming the local chinese, amongst others, as ‘native borns’, i found that laughable. The local chinese are more like ‘nurtured by china in a foreign land – singapore’ – through the government sponsorship of china’s culture in singapore.
However, given the unfortunate hegemony of subservience and self-absorption inducing ‘china culture’ in singapore, the Malays and Indians – the latter especially – are becoming more chinese, and thus, today, aren’t as able to teach the chinese as much as they could a couple of decades ago. But then again, given the preference given to the chinese and chinese culture, the chinese aren’t inclined to learn from anyone anyway. Hence, their ‘stupidity’, ‘rudeness’, ‘arrogance’, ‘shallowness’, ‘self-absorption’, etc, etc, etc. Can happen to any ‘preferred’ people whatever the race. In that, the local chinese are victims themselves. But, via china’s culture, they have become victimisers.
The essence of china’s culture lies in its ability to bring out the worst in people so that the government can do their best to exploit the people. That’s been the case since 221 b.c. I prefer multicultural egalitarianism myself, and which is more so the case in India than it has been in China. To local chinese, you ought to stop being ‘chinese’ and start being ‘singaporean’ through appreciation of other cultures, instead of just ‘tolerance’, which is akin to ‘ignoring’.

I encountered lot of bad experience while handling Singaporean customer.I`m working in 1 of the ISP. Not most of them are rude and arrogant but !!
Majority of them are DOGS with full of egoism and fell that they`re proud to be British Colony. They treat you like a dumb.
They liked to act like they knowed everything but they`re not more than just a pea brain. They loved to request for waiver even it was their fault. They loved to shouting to say ” where`s your manner” ?
Singaporean Pea Brain Community, if you call in to request for help of your internet connection. Please follow what ever info that we need to handle your issue. Not to blame us for asking too much question. If you(Singaporean) doesnt like to answer question, DO IT YOURSELF.
” Mouth bigger than action “
Singaporeans are certainly not above reproach, but judging from the way this person writes, I think he/she is the one with a real problem. Not a very well brought-up person at all.
I got a chance to read most of the comments. Quite disturbed by how vulgar some of you are. On the one hand, you are put off by Singaporean behavior, which is not that unreasonable to be honest. But then you use such derogatory terms as DOGS to describe Singaporeans. I just have to wonder how much better are you than those you criticize. Seriously, did a Singaporean insult your parents or something? Did a Singaporean spit in your face? Why the hostility and vulgarity?
Most of you here are just being bias. The fact that you are comparing one country to the other, you are already making a BIG mistake. Every country have different culture, different history. Just like everyone has different personalities. One’s personality is made up from their history, just like a country. Be more considerate. When you insult others, please think about how others will feel. No one is perfect, everyone has their bad points. Its fine to criticize people, but do not use vulgar or foul languages. At least say it in a nice way. ( I bet most of you can be quite nasty at times, right? )
P.S. Animals are of the same height as us. Nothing on earth is better or worse. We exist to support each other.
2 rude Incidents of same place- Bugis Street! which I wish to share.. just to get heat out.. in July, my brother and his wife visited us in Singapore, they were here all the way from US. At a fruit stall in the lane opposite to Bugis street, he wanted to buy fruits, so he wanted to check the fruits from all sides if are good enough. Immidiately 45+ chinese shop owner rudely said- “don’t touch, don’t buy!” my brother got similar rude experiences at chinatown too. why despite being so good to live place, everyone here looks tense and stressed– it’s rude, mad people around at large.; second rude incident at Bugis street front side big fruit stall– my wife just liked some fruits at stall and walked toward the stall to know the price. As soon as she reached to stall, even before she is there for 3 seconds, extremely rude girl at stall said-” don’t look at the fruits if you can’t afford”! Having so many of them around, we knew there is no sense in exchanging any words with cheap girl of that sort. You can’t talk to mad people. How shop owner can ask customer not to even look at goods, not knowing that my wife was intending to buy fruits for all our friends for a gathering! back home- this is impossible case. shop owners usually add 1-2 fruits more without asking, backhome vendors will tell us that they are not asking me to buy, but have a look at it, eventually ending up in good sale. Definitely that stupid stall owner at Bugis has lost sales at least from me and my friends now, I will definitely not spread good word about these vendors.But those rude stupid stall owners must know that prosperity comes only through politeness and empathy. Same is case with Sim Lim. basic fact is without patience, politeness and genuine smile on face, you can’t sell! still if you are selling, then it’s only because somebody has no choice, given a choice nobody will like to deal with you however pitiful situation you is going through. I really like Singapore, and wish it all the best. But sad to make a point that majority of people don’t seem to exhibit values what Singapore as government/ country exhibits.
2 incidents I will never forget for the rest of my life.
1) At age 8-9, me and my younger brother were literally dragged out from the lift by our sch bags by a caucasian man. He insisted his wife should enter the lift first, ladies first. An adult dragging two primary school children by the sch bags…just imagine.
2) Having parked the car and about to alight at our office car park with many empty lots to choose from, this caucasian man just have to park beside us. And have the cheek to ask my brother to move away and make space his car.
Yes, me and my brother again.
Seriously, who the fuck do you think you are? Leave this country if you are so upset. You foreigners are no better polite or humble than any of us Singaporeans. We dont need you here.
Dear All Singaporean haters,
I beg to differ on your hated judgement on Singapore. I feel that Singapore is a wonderful country and i love to be in it. So you’ve heard that Singapore is a “B**ch”? well, maybe you’ve been going to the wrong places. And, to the Angmoh who said that F**king speech. 1st things first, we are NOT filthy. If you think that we are filthy, go check your own country first. If you think a dog wont eat there, you’re right, cause u rats of angmohs eat there If you really need a “Sparkly white” environment, i invite you to go to one of the hotels to marvel at it and pay the sky high prices. I assure you it will be worth your money. And not all hawkers are as rich as your Arse to get a shop at MBS. Secondly, WE ARE NOT FAT! Go take a look at yourself. How many countries in the western sector are ELEPHANTS. compared to you, we are normal sized humans that don’t swell up to your size. Go grab a mirror. Thirdly, YOU ARE THE B**CH! F**k you! Who the hell are you to judge Singapore?! And the fact that you posted it on Singapore Craigilist, you have the nerve to post it there?!That just shows your stupidity. Fourthly, we are NOT LAZY BRATS. How bout you take a look at your american Couch potatoes?! Get YOUR kids to get out of the house and work some pounds off that fat ass!There’s no animal to compare us to, true, because we are more refined than any animal can get. As for you, I wouldn’t even say you were a rat, because, frankly, the rat would be insulted.and if you dont like the “Chope” system, SUCK IT UP.
Honey.
For a matter of fact, dogs do eat at hawker centers.
We ain’t animals. We are GODS (sarcasm). Duhhh…
Sure we are fat of heart. Kind. Not body size like Americans. In fact the average BMI of Americans are overweight. Unlike us.
And our parents teach us well. How to be rude to BITCHES like you:)
Oh and do you now stealing is a serious offence. Next time you take tissue paper packs think about that:)
And assaulting something higher in status than you, like a foot, is a bad idea…. You might get murdered in you underwear. Just take precautions:) Oh and did you know the MRT has security cameras? You shouldn’t be stepping on those poor dears feet. Or ripping plastic bags. That is too high a promotion for you. Go learn how to breathe first.
XOXO
IMAWESOMEHUH?
What should you do if you meet a rude person?
1) Ignore them
2) Be kind to them
3) Do to them as they have done to you, as long as it is legal to do it.
Best is the first method. With so many small iPod and handphones with cameras, someone may record your encounter with a rude person, and it may happen that this rude person keeps on never shutting his or her mouth at you, while you remain silent. When the video is seen on YouTube, you get perceived as being a civilised human in the presence of a savage.
What about office people that exploit and back-stab you?
1) Endure it
2) Outsmart them
3) Quit the job, and eventually puk gai as a result of having no income.
I absolutely agree with it. i have been living in singapore for the past 6 years. i would say 90% of the singaporeans are a bloody moron lot.
i would say 85 % of the Singaporeans who i’ve met at work are very rude and arrogant ,treating people from other countries like shit, too much bad experience that i have encountered with them, but i would say koreans are the same too, 90% of the koreans ive met at work are even worse, especially korean men , i dont know if this the way how those people normally treat other people in their own countries , but god those people really need to stop treating other people like shit, dont you know what comes around goes around?
Firstly, i would like to state that im a Singaporean.
A local with good upbringing, propers manners like how mum taught me.
I’ve been to Australia (where i got called a chink whilst walking on the street) and certain areas in America and other places.
I’ve been on hella dirty streets and streets where drugs are available just around the corner.
and streets where its unsafe to be after dark. (Singapore, for all its faults is a safe country. you know it)
I dont know where you guys are from, and im sorry to hear that you have had bad experiences here.
but let me just say that the most racist people i’ve met are the whites.
and basically this place is flooded with so many FTs, those people spit all over, push, dont wait in line, talk loudly.. those are the ones you may refer to at times.
and dont deny it cause im pretty sure most of you guys cant tell most asians apart anyway.
and last of all, if you’re in Singapore and you dont like it..
go home.
seriously. im not being sarcastic or rude.
but why stay if you dont like a place??
Ps. (you dare call us fat. compare any random ten Singaporeans to 5 random Americans and our total weight will still be less)
