An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
We were raised to be meek and subservient to the government of the day. We now can't even handle foreigners. We struggle to deal with them, confront them and prefer not to engage or walk away. SMRT staff hiding in their booth while the CCTV show Angmos behaving badly at platforms seems to be order of the day. Drunk local ejected out of public bus, drunk AngMo gets a smile and continues to behave badly.
In the office, a better trained and competent Singaporeans struggle to articulate his thoughts while a junior AngMo with less qualification and even where the qualifications are not relevant seem to get ahead. Our standard of English is worse than what are grandfathers were taught.
During Fire Drills at Raffles Place, you see the locals queuing at the assembly points while AngMo even the juniors are in coffee joints. Simple refusal to assemble would have sent a clear message but will locals do it.
And the courts as we know now operate with 2 scales.
