this is acually an article taken from a website dedicated to the local underground scene...just read it and c that what the writer is trying to prove is actually true.
WHY I LOVE SINGAPORE
Quite Crime Free I can leave the house at 3am to get a snack without fear.
Cleanliness At least I know, a dab of perfume is enough so I won't smell as I step on the streets.
WHY I HATE SINGAPORE
Gum Although I don't really like gum, isn't it unreasonable that you ban gum because someone keeps getting the MRT's door stuck by disposing the gum there? Instead of banning it, why not educate them? Moral of the story: Don't get caught bringing gum over to Singapore.
Cigarette box sizes I use to smoke less than 10 sticks a day. As the price increases, I don't feel pinch as I purchase my next pack. They think that by not importing the small packets (10 sticks) it stops people from smoking because the bigger packet of cigarettes are more expensive. That is just plain rubbish. I realize that after they brought about this rule, I ended up smoking more. Now I smoke at least 20 sticks a day. Moral of the story: Sheesa is good too.
Art Hub I can't film a documentary on Singapore politics. I can't write a script that includes youth speaking their mind. I can't produce a play that has slightest hint of homosexuality. People have been fined & jailed due to this. And yet you want us to express our thoughts and create an art hub in Singapore. Quite contradictory isn't it? Moral of the story: Stick to Cartoon Network.
Pampered Singaporeans You guys don't know how lucky you are. I can't think of any government that is willing to help you that much. If you live in Indonesia, I don't think you would dare to leave your house at 3 am in the morning. You have to own a gun if you are living in Philippines just in case of robberies. Moral of the story: Singapore is boring. Live with it.
Money System Singapore A meeting was held at MOM with my boss. We asked if our boss going to attend the meeting. The MOMers said that they have send a letter to him but it is up to him if he wants to attend the meeting. I asked if he is in Singapore, she said yes as the passport has been taken away. So here we are, as 19 of my colleagues are scheduled in the first meeting and my other 16 colleagues and I are scheduled in the second meeting, we are just waiting for an answer and our 2 months pay. Guess what? Our boss didn't turn up. And each of us had to pay $3 for the meeting, which no one told us about in the first place. 19 + 6 = 35 people. 35 people x $3 = $105 for 15 minutes of waiting in the room to be told that our boss is not coming. A week later, one of the shareholders informs someone that our boss is actually back in London. He even gave us his London address and phone number. Moral of the Story: Quit your job when you realize your pay is late.
Education System I remember very clearly once that an EM1 student was making fun of the EM3 students. Of course, it ended up in a fight. Guess who got the blame? EM3 students. At the age of 10, students have streaming to categorize them. Isn't that a bit degrading? And this causes the children to have low self-esteem. And when we thought that is all over, we are categorizing it again in secondary schools. I have a friend who is really amazing at maths but ended up in Normal Technical because he didn't do well in other subjects. So how do you push a student to excel in their best subjects when they are not giving the students a chance? Moral of the story: If you want your children to have low self-esteem, Singapore is the place for you.
