Its a very realistic world and many people has a
stereotypical way of viewing the world. From my point of view,
those who think they are of "higher/upper"; class are all the more
shallower than any people UNLESS they have the pedigree to prove
it.
Yes, fireman in SG is being viewed as not well-respected because
there are no recent major events that can truely show the heroics
of the firemen. Not even policemen or road sweepers or even toilet
cleaners. They should be the respected ones for they do the dirty
work to keep SG clean and safe.
Agree with him... Most people here take a Lot of things for
granted...
