A survey I did in my Class

Kansiov SG

Hi, this is a survey I did in my class, to show how ignorant Singaporean teens truly are...

Lets start with the easy questions...

Of the 43 people I asked...

-5 don't know who the current Prime Minister of Singapore is

-23 don't know who the current British Prime Minister is

-41 don't know who the current President of Russia is -_-'!

-37 thinks the USA is a welfare state (-_-"!) including the teacher...!!!

-21 don't know what the stars of the Singapore Flag represent...

-15 don't know what the biggest country in the world is... OMG

- 35 thinks Singapore's army is entirely made up of professionals, uhm.. I think they forgot NS.. lol

Now getting harder...

- 42 can't name the smallest country

-27 can't name me USA's Capital

-All 43 don't know that Singapore is using the Westminster system for our Parliament

-9 still thinks Singapore is still part of the commonwealth, seriously can't they read "REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE"?

"Harderst" Questions... well not really...

-All 43 can't name a country starting with a letter 'O'

- 41 don't know who John Mc Cain is...

- All 43 can't name the biggest City in Europe

- All 43 can't name where the 2014 Winter Olympics games is held, 31 didn't even knew there was a Winter Olympics

- All 43 can't name the smallest country in the world, the closest guess I got was Monaco

Eh... singapore is a member of the commonwealth.

Anyway, how do you define a welfare state?

By the way, welfare expenditure in the usa is 14.8% of their GDP.

-9 still thinks Singapore is still part of the commonwealth, seriously can't they read "REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE"?

Singapore IS a memeber of the British commonwealth.

Wow, all apathetic and ignorant, all depoliticised.

Easy to fool with propaganda!

This is what you get with a population brainwashed by state controlled mainstream propaganda media.

Taiwan media everyday bombard them with politics, even three year old also know about political issues.

Here, all bullshit.

Hail Raja Lee!

Long live Raja Lee!

extra one SG

how many can’t name the smallest country?

Kansiov SG

Class, well in general, I asked several friends of mine, they can't answer those, also Poh Ah Pak, Republic simply means out of the Commonwealth.

Also if you read Political Magazines, you could find ignorant Singaporeans all over the street, I am going to do that one day and try and see if I can give you guys the same laugh...

Also USA isn't a Welfare state, much of their funds go to War Pensions to Soldiers In Iraq, hence a astronomical amount. If so, why are Insurance Companies gaining such a massive monopoly in the US, till they can even gain some political power in congress?

The Commonwealth of Nations, usually known as the Commonwealth and sometimes as the British Commonwealth, is a voluntary association of 53 independent sovereign states, most of which are former British colonies (the exceptions being the United Kingdom itself and Mozambique).

Who teach you one?

Uncle Ver SG SG

Teenager never mind lah enjoy your youth while you can. If adults cannot answer off the cuff, then got problem. That being said, I will play this version of "Am I smarter than a Secondary School student?".

"All 43 can't name a country starting with a letter 'O'"

Neither can I.

"41 don't know who the current President of Russia is -_-'!"

I cant spell Mende-whatever.

"All 43 can't name the biggest City in Europe"

Biggest in term of area or population? I guess Paris. Or Moscow.

"- All 43 can't name where the 2014 Winter Olympics games is held,"

No idea whatsover.

"- All 43 can't name the smallest country in the world, the closest guess I got was Monaco"

If I am not wrong its San Marino. Second guess Papal State.

But nowadays no problem got internet and wikipedia what. Why dont people ambush their MP and the million dollar monkeys with these questions?

club18 SG

Singapore IS part of a Commonwealth..

we were a british colony afterall.. also dint u rmb we participated in the commonwealth games.

USA IS a welfare state.

anw, how old are u?

cos if u do the same survey with my class im sure u'll get a far better result.

Fatum SG

-5 don't know who the current Prime Minister of Singapore is

- 35 thinks Singapore's army is entirely made up of professionals, uhm.. I think they forgot NS.. lol

you sure or not ? ..... are you studying in an international school ? .....

I find it very hard to believe you .....

Uncle Ver SG SG

"21 don't know what the stars of the Singapore Flag represent..."

I doubt even adult PAP lackeys can answer that off the cuff. Unless you are a Malay or a teacher, when you become an adult I doubt you can even sing the whole national anthem. Or the national pledge.

to put your survey in perspective, you need to reveal to a certain level of details:

age-group; what kind of class is this, normal type of class or special school, how is the survey conducted, written in paper or answer in 5 seconds, etc, etc. you get my drift. many variables will influence the results.

one can manipulate researches to suit a particular purpose.

so, for now, i won't read too much into this.

udontknowme SG

if it's an international school, i think they'd know who john mccain is. hahaha. and i think more wouldnt know what the stars represent. and i think more would know the largest country in the world. and i think more would know who the current president of Russia is too.

the O one...isnt there a country (or at least i think it's a country haha) called oman or err...omar...??? hahahaha. just a guess. lol.

2014 winter olympics held in sochi, Russia
