maybe li-ao should say singaporean are not as clever in social
terms than pple from HK, China n TW. Sporean are by nature a simple
lot, naive and not too complicated, easy to read like a book and
understand. it's nv a challenge to decipher singaporean and their
mindset. his definition of stupid is like saying, u guys are not
smart-ass enough. to be fair, also look the roots of modern
singaporean, many of the ancestors came here dirt poor, uneducated,
and from the lowest strata of the society. what culture can they
bring along to pass on their offspring if they themselves are not
exposed to it. they cant even write or read a single word. hence
they name themselve "dog, pig, luck and money"... very crude, very
low-class. just look at some of the old names.
there's nothing of a cultural asset to be proud of, coz there is
none or little to begin with. if yr stomach are hungry, do u care
for poems and prose. hence he said the stock here is of inferior
nature. i kinda agree. it is a truth that hurts, so pple here will
get angry. but the new generation has evolved, but also become too
mixed in blood and mindset. kinda yucky i feel.
