		<description>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.</description>

		<description>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- &quot;don&#039;t touch, don&#039;t buy!&quot; my brother got similar rude experiences at chinatown too. why despite being so good to live place, everyone here looks tense and stressed-- it&#039;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-&quot; don&#039;t look at the fruits if you can&#039;t afford&quot;! Having so many of them around, we knew there is no sense in exchanging any words with cheap girl of that sort. You can&#039;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&#039;t sell! still if you are selling, then it&#039;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&#039;t seem to exhibit values what Singapore as government/ country exhibits.</description>

		<description>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&#039;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. :D</description>

		<description>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?</description>

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>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 &quot; where`s your manner&quot; ?
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.
&quot; Mouth bigger than action &quot;</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s be more accurate here shall we.  It&#039;s not &#039;the locals&#039;, but rather, &#039;the chinese&#039;.  When we lump everyone together with the term &#039;locals&#039;, we tend to discount the lessons the chinese can learn from other &#039;locals&#039; whom aren&#039;t chinese.  

I&#039;m not saying the Malays or Indians are perfect. Far from it.  But it&#039;s just that their contradistinguishable perfections can cancel out each others imperfections - if the chinese had not been taught that as &#039;the majority&#039;, 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 &#039;native borns&#039;, i found that laughable.  The local chinese are more like &#039;nurtured by china in a foreign land - singapore&#039; - through the government sponsorship of china&#039;s culture in singapore.  

However, given the unfortunate hegemony of subservience and self-absorption inducing &#039;china culture&#039; in singapore, the Malays and Indians - the latter especially - are becoming more chinese, and thus, today, aren&#039;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&#039;t inclined to learn from anyone anyway.  Hence, their &#039;stupidity&#039;, &#039;rudeness&#039;, &#039;arrogance&#039;, &#039;shallowness&#039;, &#039;self-absorption&#039;, etc, etc, etc.  Can happen to any &#039;preferred&#039; people whatever the race.  In that, the local chinese are victims themselves.  But, via china&#039;s culture, they have become victimisers.  

The essence of china&#039;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&#039;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 &#039;chinese&#039; and start being &#039;singaporean&#039; through appreciation of other cultures, instead of just &#039;tolerance&#039;, which is akin to &#039;ignoring&#039;.

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>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.</description>
