Singaporeans are selfish. Need confirmation? Look at the trains during peak hours. Aunties pretending to be asleep, Uncles with their legs on the seats, Businessmen rushing into the train before people could get out... the list goes on.
Trust me, in more established cities like Tokyo, Taipei and Hong Kong, sights like these are rarer than the blue moon.
But are Singaporeans stupid? I don't think so. Maybe extremely limited; a result of constant propoganda, Singaporeans have disillusionised themselves with the mindset that Singapore is the best.
They are but frogs in the well. -

please read carefully... i wrote thisfrom my experience.. majority of singaporeans are followers and self centered type.. (mainly concerned about their life and leisure)
about 80 i think.. which is large percentage and large amount
i did not say every singaporeans...

ah chia buddy, how come meek and "therefore" very calculating?
isn't it like
1) Singaporeans are pragmatic and therefore very calculating
or
2) Singaporeans are meek and therefore there is little opposition presence.
no understand leh

Haha... Fantagf, i noticed you when you throw questions, you would use Why, How, Examples... etcReminds me of how LKY answers a question when one party asked him about some issues. (I forgot which one liao)
Eg... How do you know
Do you have proof?

Replying to the thread, i personally feel that Singaporeans are indeed selfish although not all but majority of them. Its like they adopted the "everyman for himself" kind of thinking.
Those aunties behavior on the public transports are really unbearable. And you do see working executives behaving the same in CBD area!
I can't cite more examples since it happens everyday. Like the tissue paper chope seats. Its just like telling the public, " i've taken the seat although i'm not around. Who cares if you can find any seats or not!"

Foolishness loves people who don't know it yet it avoid people who knew it since by knowing one is foolish, one ceases being a fool.
There's no fool who thinks he is a fool.
So the next time you think you're stupid you are no longer that stupid lol.
Gary: He said to me at the lift lobby 90% of the exact words - �Mr Tan,if you walk out of here tomorrow,you might get killed.You might meet with a mysterious accident,you might disappear and nobody will know what happened to you! Mr Tan, some things and people in this country you cannot offend! Some people are above all things! You better make sure you know this! Mr Tan,we can arrange for things to happen to you.You understand or not!� -
all the blame will go to PAP
That Singaporeans have developed a more selfish mentality is due to PAP regime; in my view is completely and totally true.
Not that I want to blame PAP.
But it is quite true that they are the cause.
Even PAP leaders THEMSELVES says that this is true.
Dr Toh was the founding Chairman of the PAP in 1954. In 1959, he was the Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore and then in 1968, Minister of Science and Technology, Vice-Chancellor of the National University of Singapore, and in 1976, Minister for Health and Education. He left the Cabinet in 1980 but remained as the MP for Rochore. He was a vocal backbencher until 1988, when he retired from politics.
To many Singaporeans, either they have never heard of Dr Toh Chin Chye or only remembered his as one of the Deputy Ministers to Lee Kuan Yew. While the Party was in turmoil, Dr Toh held the PAP together...Final Message to the Singaporean Youths
In a rare public interview in 1997 Radio Corporation of Singapore, Dr Toh passionately bemoaned the lack of idealism and creativity among the young and its implications for the future of Singapore. He said:“I would say the generation of the ‘50s and ‘60s took the plunge into politics without ever calculating the costs of the risk and the benefits to be gained. They were driven by ideology. Today’s generation has no culture and averse to taking political risk. Really, an interest in politics is very necessary for the future. But I cannot blame the present generations, because they see the heavy-handed response by the government to dissenting views, even though they know that these matters involve their daily lives.
So the result is that we have produced a younger generation who are meek and therefore very calculating. They are less independent-thinking and lack in initiative. It does not bode well for the emergence of future leaders in politics and business. Robots and computers can be programmed or if you like, can be trained. But the trouble, of course, is that computers lack soul and what we need in Singapore is soul. Because it is soul that makes society.”http://singaporegovt.blogspot.com/2006/02/
PAP LEADERS THEMSELVES SAYS THAT IT IS TRUE.
IT IS DUE TO PAP RULE.
all the blame will go to PAP
The PAP IS THAT FUCKED UP.
So no choice, have to blame them.
They are truely that worthless.
This is totally and completely true.

sorry i don't understand your logic. selfish therefore stupid?

PAP LEADERS THEMSELVES TALK ABOUT THEIR OWN RULE AND THE EFFECTS ON SOCIETY:
Today’s generation has no culture and averse to taking political risk.
Really, an interest in politics is very necessary for the future.
But I cannot blame the present generations, because they see the heavy-handed response by the government to dissenting views, even though they know that these matters involve their daily lives.

[singaporeans: are we selfish.. and therefore stupid?]
They are less independent-thinking and lack in initiative.
[singaporeans: are we selfish.. and therefore stupid?]
It does not bode well for the emergence of future leaders in politics and business.
Not I say.
Not opposition say.
Not foreigner say.
These are the words of the founder of PAP.
He can see the changes in Singapore society more clearer than you or me.
ALL Blame PAP?
Wo PUI.

yup, all the blame will go to PAP. there is even a uncle who post so much stuff about how some guy are blaming PAP

Selfish in the very petty calculative sense, yea, But selfishness in noble sense like fighting for your own natural birthrights (like the freedom of speech) in this realm its too generous to say that we have failed miserably.
But Cant blame the people.. How to speak up when the threat of jail term or bankruptcy looms in the distance and when our education system teaches nothing of thinking and everything about obedience to authority? and especially when our leader is someone who is malevolent and indifferent to human rights

Not bad, you are awake.
You are not sleeping.
Not bad, not bad.
You can see quite clearly what is the cause.
Not bad at all.
