Unhappy with service? For most, it's 'talk only, no
action' By Tessa Wong
FROM kopi-swigging punters whingeing in coffee shops to armchair
critics spewing diatribes on their blogs, casual griping is a
beloved Singaporean pastime
Anyone else pissed off after reading this? Of course we whine,
what's the point of complaining when it's not backed up with any
consumer power. If everything is a govt monopoly (public transport,
press, taxis, cable, etc.), no amount of complaining will work.
This 'talk only, no action' trait contrasts with that of
consumers elsewhere.
Maybe when we, the common folks start to take 'action' with our
votes, then we'll see who is whingeing. nabei!
