As an old saying goes - "Old habits die hard". It would be hard for some people to change their bad behaviors, like spitting, littering, jumping queues and speaking loudly in public places.
But if such behaviors are outlawed and the law is STRICTLY ENFORCED, like in Singapore, it is not impossible to change people's bad behaviors.
Preferably proper manners/behaviors are taught at a young age at school and home so that people behave naturally and not because of fear of being penalized
