Hundreds of maids in past 5 years died in Singapore?! Are you
sure that number's correct?
If you got stories to tell I think people also have la..relax.
Anyway Singapore hires the most maids what so higher number can
mean higher occurence right? I've yet to meet a Singaporean maid in
another country.
Piracy's also a theft problem occuring often in Singapore true, but
most people know where the original ones are sold, ALL, and I kid
you not, ALL the Chinese friends of mine say in China, no one knows
where the hell the original disks are sold. Want to buy also can't
buy.
How about stealing nuclear technology from the United States?
Covering up the amount of SARS related deaths?
Driving tanks over unarmed citizens in a certain square?
Irrelevant right? They're not tourists what. So why bring the maid
issue here?
Restaurants are meant to be quiet? Sure those high class ones are.
I was at Melt last night, been to Mortons before. I still didn't
hear anyone making a racket, Singaporean or Chinese.
You don't have to attract attention in order to be robbed in
Malaysia. I'm a Malaysian who's a PR in Singapore. Who would rob
the poor? If you're desperate and you see a guy wearing normal
local clothing but stepping out of a Singapore car, the famous ones
you've heard so much about due to their high prices, would you rob
the guy driving a Singapore Wira or the one driving a Malaysian
Wira? Who'd know the local situation to be able to hinder your
robbery attempt better? The Malaysian or Singaporean?
I do agree Singapore has its fair share of ugly tourists, but so
does Malaysia. I believe it's a mix of culture and upbringing
though. My theory is that the reason why you hear about so much bad
Singaporean trivial stuff is because there's a lack of any
sensational matters to report. I doubt the Detroit local paper
covers ugly tourists who steal cutlery, when during one year which
I forgot, a murder occured in that city every 7 seconds.
Well educated doesn't mean you're always behaving properly you
know. NKF case? Nike's alleged child labor employment? Enron?
Blueray I can understand what you say though, I do agree sometimes
Singaporeans also push a bit of limit..want free things, everything
must argue/bargain, but who doesn't want free stuff and bargains?
It's just a matter of how much effort you put into it, but
generally they do behave overseas. Chill brother/sister!
