When the numbers of PRC increases by the day in Singapore, Singaporeans can pass the crown of Kiasuism and Kiasiim to PRCs.The PRCs are the original of these Kiausim and Kiasiim and they win us hands down.
I was aghasted at the way the Chinese shove,push,pull their way in public places even when there are no crowds. It's same in Shanghai, Beijing,Guangdong..they are the same.I remember taking a public bus in Beijing and this 30s something man just shove his way at me and push an old lady just to get up the bus and the bus is just half full!!The old lady felled and i am the only person who stop and help her. The other chinese just ignored it as though they were blind. I was stunned at the chinese attitude.In another ocassion, i saw this lady cutting my queue in a supermarket and pretended that she didn't hear me when i try to ask her not do..
It was terrible in China.there is a lack of social responsibilties and the chinese seems to be extremely selfish and self-centred.The Chinese are totally different from the Japanese who seems to be very socially responsible and discipline. However, the Taiwanese even though ethnicaly chinese seems to be also very different from the mainland chinese. They were like the Japanese in terms of discipline and did not try to push you around. Maybe they have learnt those ettiquettes from the Japanese.
I noticed that the older generations of chinese singaporeans generally still behave like what i mentioned in China.The younger generations however have vastly changed maybe due to a modern western education. It is the PRCs now re-crowning the kiasuism and kiasism in S'pore today.
