Absolutely spot on, Kimberly... Singapore's Third World, say expats who've lived here seven years
</TR><!-- headline one : end --><!-- show image if available --></TBODY></TABLE>
<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- 4 or less paragraphs so show all paragraphs first before showing the media and bkstry and stuffs --><!-- story content : start -->WE SHARE Ms Kimberly Spykerman's viewpoint on Singapore as a First World nation still lacking one of the basic attitudes of a modern civilisation. When it comes to litter-free public areas, we are no better than any underdeveloped nation. And this will not change, even if we employ twice as many cleaners. It will not change, even if our universities are ranked among the best in the world. The seeds for change must be planted in everyone's home, in each family.
<!-- story content : start -->We are foreigners with three children who have lived in Singapore for seven years. Despite bad examples in our vicinity at East Coast Park (where the beach looks like a rubbish dump after the weekend), we don't adopt these bad habits and walk extra metres to the next litter bin. Despite the privilege of employing a maid, our children clean their table and tidy their rooms since they were toddlers. As the saying goes, 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks'. <!-- story content : start -->Marco and Cynthya Preisig
