<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I LIVED in Singapore for five years while my husband was working with SMRT Corporation. During that time, I made friends with five Chinese women who always made me feel welcome when I revisited your country. They included me in their families' lives, cared for me as a guest and involved me in their celebrations. These acts of kindness are expected from old friends.
But I also noticed on a recent visit the many kind acts of ordinary Singaporeans as I travelled around the island:
A young woman leaving Dhoby Ghaut MRT station offered to share her umbrella;
Bus drivers on Route 77 welcomed me and others with smiles and friendly greetings;
People of all ages gave up their seats for me in crowded buses and trains;
A helpful man led me to the correct bus stop in Chinatown;
Another man wrote down the numbers of all the buses going to the National Library;
Youngsters made sure I got off the bus at the nearest stop (the National Library is not yet shown on all tourist maps);
Coming 'home' to my friend's flat in the dark, people made sure I reached the right place safely;
A kind-hearted waitress at the museum brought me a glass of water when she saw I had tablets to take;
Guides at the Singapore Biennale showed us around and took us behind the scenes to see the 'snow';
A lovely, laughing granny helped me choose two blouses in a department store - she bought six herself, they were such good value;
A family gave me a part to play at the wedding of a friend's daughter, a great honour;
Being called and treated as 'honoured guests' when I visited the Newater plant with two Singaporean friends;
Guards at the Istana apologised for the gardens being closed on a national holiday. They promised to convey my good wishes to the President - I am sure they did so;
Security men at Parliament House conducted their searches with efficiency and good humour.
I could list many more kind acts shown during my six-week visit, but these are the ones I remember.
I will end by thanking everyone in your lovely country for all their caring kindness to a stranger.
I wish you all a Happy New Year. May Singapore and its lovely people flourish.

They should have mention a man's experience.

I bet women share their cunts with him.

I am sure it's more colourful this this !

Singapore is lovely, but she also happens to be so grossly uninformed about the true spirit of the Singaporeanese.

Why didnt she apply citizenship?
Polish so much.

"During that time, I made friends with five Chinese women who always made me feel welcome when I revisited your country.

It's a sad state of affairs when Chinese women rise to the occasion make an effort to make her feel at home while no Singaporean women even bother to lift a finger.

Thank goodness the PAP govt is wise enough to let those Chinese women into the country. They certainly are goodwill ambassadors for the country despite the fact they're living in a foreign land.

 

[DerekLeung]

Singaporean women are a fateful lot. They ended up marrying dickhead and dickweeds !

Hobbs is a toy tiger, the real tiger is a figment of Calvin's imagination.

And in the next 10 years, chinamen.

She may have meant Singaporean Chinese women.
Not that it matters.

Well written letter by Janet. If only Singaporeans can experience some gracious living. Maybe you can stop hating yourselves so much.

[mscitw]

those peasants remind me of the late Qing dynasty enunchs who fear the westerners more than the reigning emperor.

 

[diversifyx2]

Ang moh kee lan, ang moh is the worst lot, look good only, empty pocket come here try to con. those ppl feel dam good talking, walking, making friend with ang moh, i see you no up.

Hobbs is a toy tiger, the real tiger is a figment of Calvin's imagination.

either shes as imaginary as hobbs or shes suffering from hallucination:

"A kind-hearted waitress at the museum brought me a glass of water when she saw I had tablets to take;"

 

[Satan]

They are doing so much for her because she is an Ang Moh. What if she happens to be a local Soinkee? Sinkees are just like their bastard scums in white. Lick up to Ang Mohs but neglect their own kind.

How do you know they are PRCs???? For all you know, they could be local Sinkee women.

Most Singaporeans suffer from colonial hangover. They are quick to switch on their false potato accent and sucker to anything with the slightest hint of white (well proven by the SPGs). They would give up bus and train seats and hold doors open for them. But would they do it for their kind? This seems to be one country where foreigners are treated like kings and the locals made themselves peasants.
