This is a point that I've been harping on for a long time now.
Just look at the way MOST Singaporeans treat their maids! Or even,
look at how they treat service staff! The fact that PM Lee needs to
tell Singaporeans not to abuse service staff speaks volumes about
the state of the nation! 
I don't have to go far everyday at work to get a perfect example of
the Ugly Singaporean. They are folks who storm into our designated
staff areas, and when told, "Excuse me, that's a staff area, please
walk the other way!" they'll say, "I know!", but walk on into the
staff area regardless! 
In Hokkien, they are ti ki, ya ban!
Brats who are used
to getting their way with utterly no respect for anyone else!
We work hard to stabilise a critically ill patient, and we receive
complaint letters accusing us of 'staying in the room so long' that
the visitors were deprived of a chance to be in the room with their
loved ones! 
Can you believe
that??!!! I feel like shaking them to their senses and yelling, "We
were in there working hard to save your mom, what did you think we
were doing?!!!!"
The educated ones can be royal pain in the unmentionables!
They will put on this arrogant, know-it-all attitude and
be extremely demanding and suspicious of all staff, insisting
things be done their way when they know zilch, questioning us
excessively and obsessively almost as if they were supervising us,
being uncooperative, etc.
What's the point of subsiding all the education if we produce louts
and barbarians like that, it beats me!
