I've had an encounter in downtown fastfood outlet that seems to break all stereotype about rich china teens studying here that they are loud and proud.

It's my teabreak time so decided to have acuppa of coffee..a middle aged uncle came in selling tissue..Sg youths give him a kind of look and waved him off...

Surprisingly a china teen couple bought some tissues from him..what does this show?40 years of nation building and we pride ourselves as developed city state and yet can't spared a dollar or two to help the poor sg uncle...we criticise china kids but are sg kids more altustic towards poorer members of our countrymen..think about it:(

So what if sgkids speak better english than china kids now...in a decade or so they will too be billingual in their own cities maybe even better without the singlish

Compassion comes from the heart, not one's facade. Some countries build cardboard facades to fool others on the other side of the bridge into thinking buildings exist.

your thoughts are proven by your actions.

MIWs can call SGPlians to donate, if MIWs themselves don't donate, how can we trust them?

 

[DIVISION1]

I am afraid you need to check with our MIWs if they donate on causes they appeal to citizens to donate. I do not hold such statistics.

i have a question for you!

do you donate?

 

[DIVISION1]

Yes. To some causes, not all.

 

[Sipahsi]

One instance and you generalised that characteristic to a whole demographic.

If I were you I'd say all Singaporeans are myopic kukus who are easily swayed by little things, and have limited worldly exposure.

But I'm not you, so I think you're one of the rare people in society that are myopic and not very bright. And I'm glad you're the minority.

And I've seen some examples kind gestures from Singaporeans. But that's not a representative sample of the overall population. I've also seen some ugly gestures from Singaporeans as well. So I wouldn't say Singaporeans in general are kind or selfish, cos I haven't met enough to make either deduction.

TeeKee, you're a retard.

 

[DIVISION1]

Please, let us not go down the path of moniker Clinton666 who misdiagnoses monikers here as suffering from mental retardation. It is not easy to be afflicted with mental retardation under normal circumstances.

When I was in S'pore, the people selling tissues were usually old people who should already be enjoying their retirement years instead of struggling to make a living in this manner.

In a country with a TRULY compassionate (welfare for the less fortunate) and competent (well planned retirement schemes) govt, such scenes of old people selling tissues, collecting cardboards, cleaning public toilets or cleaning tables to eke out a living should not even be seen.

In NZ, all monetary donations greater than $5 amount by individuals to charitable organisations will enjoy a tax REFUND of 33% of the donated amount upon submission of an official receipt. In other words, the NZ govt is matching 1/3 of every cash donation.

First of all, rich china students are NOT the groups of china scum who are guilty of loutish behaviour in sinkapore. It's the poor fucks from poor regions, the villagers.

Secondly, the even sadder fact is that in China there are NO old folks eeking out a living like our old folks. They're all in parks watching birds and doing tai-chi, or matchmaking their kids. Even china immoral commie scum are SHOCKED that this country can treat its elderly this way.

There was this silly debate show on this topic in Channel U. A female PRC student commented that she was heartbroken to see our elderly doing these stuff. The arrogant, regime mouthpiece of a host berated her and said this demonstrates our great industrious attitude to 'work for life'!

That is what sinkies vote for. You have to thank them for that. That is the Sg version of Asian values.

Some China kids are indeed much better brought up than some Singkie kids.
But some are as rotten as Singkie kids.

but why sinkies loves to stereotype?

 

[DIVISION1]

It may have to do with the constraints of living on a small island state and not having sufficient opportunity to comprehend suffering which is in abundance elsewhere in the world.

This guy can suck a PRC's cock!

If you need tissue, you will buy it.

If you don't, you won't buy.

Why is the writer reading so much into this incident?

The elderly uncle was selling tissue paper, not asking for charity ... Has the writer got a different perception on an old man making an honest living??
