China teens are more giving than us?

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??

the writer believes he is the Messiah sent from above

That is also very true. There are those overseas who put on a pathetic look but are actually asking for free money. The uncle is making a living.

Moniker Division1. You switched to invisible mode as of today to avoid answering my question.

You still owe us an answer to my question, first put to you in thread "154th: Be content, live within your means woh!" message #19, and same question is repeated in your own thread "I still Welcome Contributions from Moniker Makapaaa" message #19. You have so far indulged with beat around the bush responses without an answer.

Can you explain to us now what you understand from Lim Swee Suay's speech, or are you just full of shit talk when you alleged that we dumb fools misunderstood him?

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

1) Did you yourself as an adult with more spare change buy any of the tissues?

2) Would 1 example be sufficient to show that China kids fare better than Sporeans?

3) Why do you cite the ability to speak better English as a prelude to better manners? So you think the Englishmen are more well-behaved than the Asian? Why do you need to suck up to all these people?

He is trying his best to do damage control. Squeeze him by the balls and his tune moves up a few octaves, but his song will always remain the same.:p
