WOMAN SAYS S’POREANS TOO REALISTIC & CALCULATIVE, EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MONEY

I think many Singaporeans are too realistic, too materialist and too selfish, with disregard for everything else. EVERYTHING is about money, and must be viewed in the perspective of profit and loss.

Eating out, family relationship, friendship. Their philosophy in life is too…selfish and calculative.

And they generally have a fragile ego about Singapore – if anyone says Singapore or Singaporeans no good, CONFIRM jump, even for honest feedback or personal feelings.

Super predictable like knee jerk reaction. You know, people elsewhere are not like that – there tend to be a higher percentage of objective and opened minded people.

I know if this gets published, sure got people curse my eighteen generations of ancestors, and ask me to F off to other countries etc., “not happy, leave” etc…

But I don’t care! Admin, pls publish if possible. I’d just like to rant. It’s so tired dealing with people like that. Life is more than profits at the end of the day

Netizens’ comments

1. You said SGeans are profits centric, realistic, materialistic etc. Have you ever wonder why?
   SG is an ultra small country. So small, you can’t even find it on the map.
   How do you think we can compete with the likes of China, US, Europe etc if our people are not realistic, materialistic and competitive.
   It’s easy to diss a country while enjoying all the perks like efficient transport, accessible amenities, safe place to live and work.
   All those perks you enjoy right now are there because we are realistic, materialistic and profits centric ( I have never heard of a country that build a bridge with happiness)
2. Singaporeans are amazing people, but OP def has a point. Life is not a competition (for money?) and other people are not competitors.
3. Aiyo still have to be realistic wad…or else what? Living in a fantasy with unicorns flying around? Cannot right?
4. We speak english, have the greatest airport, airline, passport, strong currency and most competitive economy maybe behind US … I paused for sec reading the word “jump”. Ya it’s annoying, I know you know they know right
