Strange Singaporean Behaviour

The bizarre behaviour of many Singaporeans

44 years of economic and material success have spawned some very strange
behaviors among Singaporeans. We spent so much to buy a house or flat,
furnished it up like a palace, but spent our time outside, most of the time
at work. And the maids are the ones enjoying the million dollar or multi
million dollar assets.

Then we pay so much, the highest in the world, for a car only to park at
home. Too expensive to drive, too many ERPs and car park charges to pay. And
we are encouraged to park the car at home and take public transport, cheaper
and more convenient.

And when Singaporeans travel, instead of seeing the places, they went
shopping. The best part is that they would head for the cheapest bargains,
buying stuff that they could get in Chinatown or pasar malam, at even
cheaper prices. And they are happy that they got a bargain.

And while the heartlanders are busy trying to make a life here, being told
to bust off if they are not happy, which they could not, the rich and
presumably very happy and contented citizens are buying up properties
overseas just in case they need to make that escape from paradise.

While many Singaporeans are thinking of jumping ship, or preparing to jump
ship, hoards of new immigrants are rushing in to take their place in this
paradise..

And to top it all up, they keep complaining about the govt and all the
policies that they found unpalatable, come every election, they will vote
and return the govt to power.
