Singaporeans are so unfriendly and outdated and anti-social ones
... I always thought Singaporeans are adventurous and keen to meet
and befriend people from other countries because they were bred and
brought up in an open and multi-cultural environment.
If Singaporeans were keen to go overseas for holidays and able
to pretend to be superbly friendly and warm, why do we not see that
same warm and friendly attitude and behaviour from these
Singaporeans towards foreigners when they were back home
in Singapore?
Truly it must be our bad culture or ugly tradition to put up a
false pretense to be classy and sophisticated when we're meeting
new people and foreigners overseas.
Is this the end-product of westernising our traditional
mindset that we have all grown up to become a race of fakers and
low-class "drama actress/actors"?
What is so different about the foreigners compared to
Singaporeans anyway? As a Singaporean, I can say that Singaporeans
aren't as united amongst ourselves as compared to people from other
nations, regardless if they are first-world or third-world
citizens. Singaporeans have a very low and poorish mindsets in
terms of projecting themselves towards people in the World, and
there are heaps and plenty which Singaporeans could learn from
these foreigners or other people in the World.
There are always bad, half-crazy, evil, nasty citizens
regardless of which nations they represented. People have a choice
to become who they want to become, regardless of being true or
false towards themselves.
Why don't we adopt a more positive approach towards our opinions
with regards to the foreigners?
Instead of saving up money to go overseas and meet them, the
Government is encouraging these people to come to visit us. I can
see that there is a purpose for the Government to do that, because
I think this is an important step for the Government to train and
toughen up and expose common and uncommon Singaporeans alike
to learn how to handle and deal and communicate and blend with
the ugliest exports from nations around the World.
Why are Singaporeans so weak in their mindset and they only
want to mix with the high and influential and classy people from
nations around the World? We should learn how to cope with this
surprising uncertaincies that the Government have brought upon us.
It is a common norm that people from other countries and nations DO
NOT HAVE THE ABILITIES to socialise well with people who aren't
from their countries and nations. Singaporeans have this golden
opportunity to be the FIRST to make that change and to PIONEER this
mindset and extend it towards people from other nations.
I'm sure this is good for Singaporeans who are aspiring to be a
Global Entrepreneur!
Think Positive, Singaporeans! Your life is really how you think
and imagined it to be. If you had thought lowly of your life, then
surely you would have lived a lowly life. If you had thought
well of your life, then surely you would have lived a happy
life. If you had complete confidence of your life, then surely your
life would be filled with unlimited possibilities.
It's really how you think that matters and is
important in your life, not how other people have perceived it
to be and certainly not how other people have defined it
to be!
there are few flaws in your assumption:
1. not all singaporeans are anti - foreigners. alot of bloggers
are simply mentioning there are unrestricted amount of low quality
influx which many uses fake credentials to cheat their way in.
2. singapore belong to singaporeans, it is not our duty and
responsibility to welcome any foreigners into our singapore and
threaten the singapore way of life. I bet most singaporeans
when working or traveling to overseas will encounter some form of
discrmination in countries such as australia, Japan etc. i bet
singaporeans live it and accept it since these countries belong to
them.
3. not all singaporeans are sarong party gals/man. most of my
friends do not really look up to angmo or ppl who consider to be
superior. in fact these so call real talent seldom make themselves
present in hardlanders daily life.
4. global entreprenuers does not meant we had to employ
multinationals workers working into the regional HQ or HQ of
singapore. it simply means, we expand business opportunities in
other countries, and probably employ most of the staff locally
in countries of operation.
5. singapore govt open arm policy need not mean
singaporeans have to embrace it. govt policy could in most
cases causes conflict of interest with that of commoners. govt want
company to operate in singapore to generate taxes revenue. but
if the increase in taxations does not generate enough welfare for
the needy, there are bound to be grievences among the locally.
finally, this is singapore. uniquely singapore. whoever come
into this country has to accept whether deem acceptable by any
foreigners or not. no one put a gun in their head. Just like
you can make friends whom you like, dont whom you dont like.
