1. When the train doors open they rush in for seats without even giving a damn about others. ‘After they have zeroed into that empty spot even before the train stops that is.
2. They cut into your queue, especially when boarding the bus, and give you that fuck-off-asshole-i’m-first-look when in actual fact they were miles away from where you were.
3. Complain and take no action at all. Just take a look at the ‘Singapore Seen‘ tab in STOMP.
4. The lack of warmth and spirit to be nice to others. Even when you say ‘thanks’ to them, they will either smile wryly or pretend that you said nothing. So damn fucking fake can?
5. They are a bunch of pampered citizens always wanting more from the gahmen, never ever appreciated what’s given and worse still… criticize the current situations.
But of course there are 5 Things That I Like About The Typical Singaporeans…

yeah, i totally agree wit u, so damn irritatin seh wen they do tat….
yep yep.. no doubt it’s irritating but singaporeans ARE singaporeans after all. sometimes we do it but don’t realise that we did. heheh..
diam diam rah
i totally agree with u.. even though i am a singaporean!! especially point 3 and 5
fi3: haha… kinda ironic right? but looking at your ownself sometimes will make you laugh. but i guess that’s singapore(eans) lah.. even the gahmen can’t help much in this kinda stuff. it’s in us…
I really agree with you! They are sooo rude!
S o rude
I nto only their own lives
N othing matters but themselves
G o go! there’s free stuff! hurry!!
A bowl of rice NOW!
P lease- are you kidding? That’s not their language
O m g! American accent?
R eal price? Aiyo! Lower la!
E mergency… I’M HUNGRY!
i hate singaporean especially when we’re shopping…for example, when we want some stuff like shirt, i ask for the lower price and then they give me the lower price, but the looks from their eyes changed from fake smile into bad mood face.. what the heck!! i mean, if they didn’t agree or no deal just say no, they don’t have to make something like that which is make me very irritated… damn shit!!
and i hate singaporeans when they’re speaking each other…speak with awkward singlish, with an uncorrectly words but in quick way like they’re understand each other and cocky, but in fact none of them understand, so i take the conclusion that they were using their telephaty to communicate, no offense, but that’s from what i saw….
for this one, i couldn’t disagree, singaporean are so rude… they wouldn’t do anything eventhought they do the mistake, like bragging some stuff till falls to the floor, but after that, they just walk away like they didn’t do anything, or not letting the older people sit, and hardly to say thanks… i swear i saw that kind of thing a few times… oh, when the first time i came to singapore, the first sentence that i heard from a singaporean : “fill the blank on the form, just find your own pen!!”, talking like that without looking my eyes, and even when i ask, that shit doesn’t want to answer, i’m a tourist, not a criminal… next time i’m gonna bring a lot of pens for them…
just for ’singaporean’ information : peoples from the countryside, eventhought their education level lower than yours, but their polite and morality level are higher, shame on you…
For a tourist, your English is cr@p: “eventhought” and “peoples”. To think that you criticise us for our “awkward singlish, with an uncorrectly words”
Really, what asscr@p English is that? uncorrectly words? I suggest you look at yourself in the mirror first before you criticise Singaporeans. At least THEY know when to codeswitch.
Unlike the villager you
*Uncorrectly* words! Where did you learn your English from??
Singaporeans are always afraid of things, very insecure. Very snobby and think they know everything. Its sickening. Other parts of East Asia look at singaporeans as a spoiled nation, never faced hardship and always being spoonfed, just like Hong kong.
They are not too easy on the eyes that’s why.
And don’t even get me started on the know-it-all attitude.
The whole country is like a sterilized industrial park who peddles the culture and cuisine of neighboring regions as their own. And Singaporeans actually think it’s a freaking compliment!
YUCK! YUCK! YUCK!
Buddy, don’t compare Singapuuut to HK. HK people are not perfect, but at least they are really Chinese, not like the bunch of insecure & clueless banana chimps who pass for “Chinese” in Singapuuut.
Yup,mayb that’s true but is there anymore? Ppl please sponser! Help ’cause im doin a project ’bout this thingy!! Thanks a bunch!!!
After 2 years of living in that atrocious crap hole of a country, I was excited to get out. It’s a cesspool full of horrible low class people who have absolutely no culture at all. They are, without a doubt the filthiest, most disgusting people on the planet, TAKE A DAMN SHOWER you animals, sorry that is unfair to animals, and they have better hygiene and social skills, including cockroaches, than Singaporeans do.
The worst part is its not even their government it those filthy disgusting pigs that are the problem, if they killed all the Singaporeans, it would actually be a decent place.
It’s a known fact that cities attract the low class people, so what to do if your country is just one city? Well guess what, your whole country is low class. Walk down any street and you see these things, which have know Idea how to behave wandering around like they rule the world, YOU ARE INSIGNIFICANT, you useless pile of vile fecal matter. Yes, I think that will be my new term for Singaporeans: useless pile of vile fecal matter or UPVFM, they can call their completely inappropriate behavior kiasu if they want, I call it being a scum bag ASIAN BORN CHINESE, because it is the same exact inappropriate behavior that the mainland Chinese use.
Listen you retarded UPVFM, at least the mainland Chinese have an excuse, they have been locked up and sheltered for 50 f@#$ing years, and you lie to the world and say you are the best of east vs west, you are not. You are a pathetic excuse for Homo sapiens; maybe LKY was right you all obviously did come from China’s worst stock、WOW! Think about it you are the undesirables, of a nation of undesirables. You should be so proud of yourselves……..
I not just going to bad mouth you UPVFM’s, let me give you some personal experiences, these are just some of the couple of thousands I can give from just 2 years of living there, it essentially happened anytime I went into public with these UPVFM’s, just to prove my point, which will not matter because the UPVFM’s will come on here and act like the retarded (I don’t care if you don’t like racist and prefer Xenophobe, they are the same thing, all Xenophobes are racist) racist they are, and blame the mainland Chinese, or the Malaysians, because these UPVFM’s cannot admit anything about themselves, and that is half the F@#$in problem and a big part of why they are UPVFM’s.
Flying into Singapore: My wife and coming from a wonderful vacation in Okinawa, flew Okinawa to Shanghai, then Shanghai to Singapore, we flew business class, big seats, lots of room, Singapore airlines, should have been a pleasant 5 hour flight with plenty of sleep seeing it departed at midnight, and arrived at 5:30 am. We get on the plane, sit comfortably in our seats, and wait for the meal, eat the meal, and then I want to get some sleep, I lay my chair back, and the filthy Singapore bitch behind me takes her filthy stank feet and kicks me in the head as she tries to put he feet on the back of my chair, I am like what the F@#$. She tries to tell me “I paid for this space lah, its my space too”, I call over the flight attendant, she and the woman have words, I try to lay down and sleep again, and this filthy UPVFM’s pig does it again, after an hour of back and forth I finally open my mouth with out calling the flight attendant, and threaten to rip this UPVFM’s head of her neck, and disembowel her with my fork, I could not believe this was allowed in Business class, how low class are these things.
Day 2 in Singapore signing up for cable, my wife and I go to Singtel, to sign up for a phone, internet and cable, we are seated, for close to 30minutes waiting for assistance from the girl behind the counter (as we arrived before opening, there were no customers yet except us, also introducing me to the 2 years of the absolute worst customer service I have ever seen in any country in my life), a annoying Singapore woman, and her two unruly vile non-disciplined children come be loud, disrespectful, and just plain, annoying, obnoxious, unpalatable bastards, and begin screaming at the counter girl, who still has not served my wife and I, let alone done anything I can see for that matter. Soon after an older British couple come in, the man on a walker and the woman with a cane, my wife and I stood up and offered our chairs to them, they are handicapped after all, and the 2 UPVFM children ran up, pushed the old man to the ground and took the chair, that UPVFM mother looked at them and in her vile Singlish accent said “good, leh” I told the kids to get up as the mother would not, and then the mother yelled at me “you don’t understand our culture, Children can do no wrong,” this retarded bitc$ goes, so replied, “your right its not the children’s fault, it the parents fault for not teaching these animals right from wrong.” I then looked at the kids and said “GET YOUR ASSES OUT OF THAT CHAIR RIGHT NOW< GO STAND NEXT TO YOUR MOTHER< AND SHUT YOUR MOUTHS FOR THE REST OF THE TIME YOU ARE IN HERE!” ironically, by that time many more people had walked into the store, foreign and local, and all of the foreigners had started applauding, funny isn’t it. Then I turned the girl who was suppose to be working and said “HEY<BITCH WHY DON’T YOU DO YOUR GOD DAMN JOB AND SERVE THE CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING FOR 45 MINUTES,” finally I got service, an Australian guy also began to talk to me and said, I will fit in well in Singapore with my attitude, and asked where I came from, I told him NY, he warned me there, that the UPVFM’s would not like that for the entire time I live there, I said not like NY, everybody likes NY, everybody in the world wants to go to NY, I have never met anybody who doesn’t like NY, except me, he told the UPVFM’s hate anybody better them, and a NY’er obviously is.
The next day I told my Singaporean Colleague about the event, he goes, It must have been a mainland Chinese, I said they had a Singaporean accent, spoke Singlish, and carried a Singaporean IC card which was in the woman’s hand, he still insisted it was a foreigner that must have PR because Singaporeans don’t act that way.
My first Work Trip: So I had been their about a month, moved into my condo, got internet and cable and had to make my first trip, this was around July, July is hot, I was in Taiwan, my wife called me that morning from Taiwan, crying and screaming, their was a dead guy on the ground in front of our apartment, a dead guy, she was in hysterics, the guy apparently had taken his own life in our condo, I calmed her down and told her to shut the window, I called my colleague, and asked him to check on my wife because she was scared due to seeing this dead body, he told me that Asian culture does not help friends that way, I said, “WHAT? I have lived in Asia for 11 years, I have an Asian wife for 8, are you retarded” so he refused to take thirty minutes out of his day to comfort a foreigner witnessing a live death after being in the UPVFM’s country for only about 30 days. 2 hours later, my wife calls me back in hysterics again, she said she was dying from the heat and opened the shades, and the body is still lying outside on the ground, uncovered and there are little children outside around it, I said they have not covered it? They have not moved it to the hospital yet? What the hell is the matter with these people, there are children looking at the body, are parents freaking? I have only seen such things in a handful of countries, let me list them for you now, India, China, Afghanistan, Turkistan, Indonesia, notice these are all third world countries that allow bodies to stay out, uncovered and children tto run and play around them, and I now add Singapore to that list, my wife and I have a huge discussion about how in NY, or in Japan, they would go out of their way to make sure you cannot see, especially if there are children, but not in Singapore, and the only person I know in Singapore, cannot take 30 f’in minutes out of their day to comfort someone who is new in THEIR COUNTRY. What UPVFM’s they are. Essentially, my wife told me the body sat outside, uncovered for 8hours with children and people walking around it then they put a blanket over it for another 3 before they finally moved it, WTF is the matter with these UPVFM’s.
After 3 months I realized, these UPVFM’s were lazy and did not work, and had to be extremely micromanaged to make sure anything got done and done properly. After 6 months there I was talking to 3 friends, about my disgust of their lack of work habits and ethics, and my friends said it must just be my employees, so I challenged them to test their work forces, being a 6 Sigma Black Belt, and offering free Black belt services that could provide money saving techniques to 3 large companies in Singapore (Symantec, Motorola, and GE) they gladly accepted, I came up with individual rating and monitoring systems that allowed them to rank accomplished work by all their employees foreign and local, GE which found the closest results had their Singaporean staff accomplishing only 1/7th of the work as their laziest foreign employee, all 3 companies however showed the same results, the UPVFM’s were useless, but the companies were forced to keep because of Singapore’s employment laws, these companies then hired me to do more studies for them, all in all Motorola has shut down all facilities in Singapore, Symantec paid a fine and fired all of its Singapore staff, and GE moved all operations to Malaysia.
Like I said these are just a few of thousands of examples I can give over 2 years of being in that shit hole, they are all UPVFM’s, and I hope somebody sinks that island back into the ocean.
Oh and just for the Singaporeans who think what I have to say about your country does not matter, I talked to hundreds of people (maybe more) from every country of the world per year, and I tell them exactly what I think of you UPVFM’s, and I give them experience on top of experience, and this does have an impact you filth.
Oh my God. I was offered a post in Singapore way back in the 90’s and thought about it a long long time because well, my colleagues were nice but they had a weird attitude about foreigners. Eventually I did not take it and the crazy paranoid Singaporean bosses hated me and I had to leave the company.
Now I think I made the right decision.
After some trips there I realized that the people there are just plain awful. This is what happens when you are materially rich but spritually poor. I feel SO SORRY for the groups who have to live there because they have no freaking choice. Go to HK instead or Australia but think ten thousand times before living in awful Singapore with the awful small-minded Singaporeans.
i love you Never Again.
erm… i don’t like reading a lot… here’s a much more boring and more senseless reponse to all, luv ya’ll
hong kong ain’t really spoon fed country. should try livin there for you to compare. im not hk,i just happened to go there a lot.
dun wory lah, cuz now i wok here in sg..btw i hapen to be abc(just like lee hom and mister and my master jin so its
American born Chinese, not asian born chinese, whats dat suppose to mean? are there any western born americans?…ohh im kinda high right now),i feel like goin back to my roots esp when i speak, you’d hear me singlishin’ every now n then. My parents very proud coz me speak more chinese and i need to blend in with the locals, my grammar now more correct to my officemates and more wrong to my friends back home. ya my boss once said go change my grammar and said the more red lines in MS Word means its better, u know who you are and I dont care, coz I dont work for you no more you piece of choclit pudding. *sigh* i miss home.
quoting from neveragain : -i think you better slow down there even before you start, anxiety + anger before typing = usually wong sfellings like me. I also feel like hitting the keys so hard that my nails will broke, ooh i just love the red colors flowing..
people here rude, yes. but dont say all are rude. Some mainland chinese would really get your heart pumping blood so fast you could almost taste his blood oozing from his head after it is detached from the spine. *sigh* i miss my dog, princess.
Now this is just my observation:most indian men and women will not give their seat to anyone else or not unless to their own kind/race or if they happen to see a really wrinkled and wobbly old man. hey, don’t judge me here, ok im sorry but its just my observation. really. hope it’s true or i’ll shame myself and jump out my building…i live in the 3rd flr of my building…i might still live…but its high…i can be hurt…seriously…
now im not against singapore or singaporeans, heck i work here haha. im from a chinatown part of california, best think of discriminations against asians as in general there is far worst than here. so be glad that even with so much racist comments other people have on you, dont be sad or feel angry, its just common one gets criticisms and the likes, use those to build a better you. compare,think,change. people will not say these if they aren’t bothered or if they are not affected. i am glad most locals here speak english, or at least they try even though its hard for me to understand sometimes. talking fast, skipping vowels and letters, repeating the sentence in a louder voice rather than clearly, and eating the words will definitely not help in any way. this ain’t no joke to you friends. speak slowly and clearly, smile, say thank you, greet your officemates even the helper there who mops the floor everyday, be more sensitive to people around you. hope you had a good read. good luck to ya’ll.
hey hong mei,
try being an indian who’s been discriminated by majority chinese all his life, you would start retaliating. it’s as simple as that.
of course, you’d feel less discriminated where you are with your own race.
i’m chinese, btw, but i hate my own race.
yes i can relate to that. i don’t mean anything offensive in my post, it was just a personal observation. next time i will try keep it to myself. now i didn’t know chinese discriminates em like dat. again, not from sg so i don’t know dat lah.
u said u hate ur own race, does dat mean u also hate sg? do u also hate urself?
I only have this to say to ‘Never Again’:
Think before you speak. Do you know why? Because what you’ve just typed is a whole big chunk of bullshit. Do you think YOUR country’s that perfect and pretty? Get a life, especially since you’re older than me and you’re probably about to die soon anyway. First impressions may last a long time but get over it okay, crybaby? Just because you meet a handful of rude people, doesn’t mean that the entire country’s like that. Have you actually tried OPENING your eyes before? There’s a reason why you’re given eyes by God, you know. I don’t really care where you’re from because your country’s probably just as filthy as you claim Singapore to be. What you say reflects on your own country because this just shows how RUDE and UNCIVILIZED your country has taught you to be.
Hey, we may be rude and selfish or disgusting but guess what? You’re in our country, your bosses are probably Singaporeans and I wonder where would you be digging a hole for yourself if it wasn’t for our people hiring you. If you hated Singapore so much, why did you even bothered coming here in the first place? Oh, the irony, isn’t it? How hilarious. While you’re here, who are the ones who serve you? Singaporeans. I don’t believe that while you’ve been here 2 years, all you’ve received is rude and despicable behavior from Singaporeans. Gosh, you must have been living blindly and probably shitting yourself every single day! Get over it. Your maturity level shows your pathetic little attempt at trying to deface this country when you’re doing the exact same thing to your own country.
Stop thinking that you’re so high and almighty only because you’re a foreigner in Singapore. It’s foreigners like you that disgust the crap out of me because while you’re here, you don’t even have the decency to show some respect or dignity to proudly show where you’re from. Your attitude and actions shows that your country is just as filthy as you claim Singapore to be. We’re all in the same boat now, aren’t we? You just proved that your country’s worst at training its people to be civilized people and that you’ve sunk way below than Singapore has. We have our flaws, everybody knows that including the government, and don’t think that only our flaws exist. Flaws coming from foreigners like you are much more noticeable and it’s people like you who have lived and worked her for a certain period of time that give Singapore a bad name simply because you don’t have the damn brains to realize that no country is perfect and that we all have our flaws.
By the way, you’re a fucking useless pile of vile fecal matter too. Get some brains, and some balls to post your name too.
Thanks for visiting Singapore. Don’t come back because Singapore isn’t going to cry over your departure, you absolutely foul, incompetent, uncivilized, disgraceful, lowlife, brainless, obnoxious, retarded, pathetic foreigner.
Wow harsh words.
But I think Elfie, proved Never agains point on several topics, so between the two, I have to agree with Never again.
Elfie sorry man, but you need to learn how to read, every question you posed in your thread was in Never Agains, and your rude demure in defense of your country (the OP did not say anything about Singapore, just Singaporeans), and your response kind of proved much of the prior threads digust.
Bythe way, way is a Singaporean in a I hate Singaporean blog site?
To Never Again, I am Singaporean, but I must agree with what you observe about Singaporeans. Although the words may be harsh, this is probably how a “more cultured” society would retaliate against such behavior. I’ve travelled quite a fair bit and have observed that “more cultured” societies have their fair share of anti-social behavior. However, what makes them different from Singapore is that the general public would actually stand up against such plebeians. In the case of Singapore, we have an issue: we’re mostly conflict avoidant. We see something that violates our code of conduct, an act of anti-sociability, we tend to just look the other way, or shake our head silently.
I must say that, that is probably going to lead to the greater social antagonisms. Personally, I find my efforts to be polite, civilized, and cultured overwhelmed by the incorrigible actions of the people here. Sometimes, the actions of Singaporean drivers can motivate me to invent new forms of expletives. I share you anguish and frustration with you. More so because I am a Singaporean and these fellow countrymen are behaving like #@$$ing barbarians.
And to Elfie, while Never Again may have been overly harsh with his words, and his blatant generalizations are uncalled for, we do need to take a good look at ourselves. Yes, there are gracious Singaporeans around, but I’ve been around the block and I know, we know, albeit tacitly, that something is wrong with our society.
Now now gentle folk, in case any of you are still curious, perhaps you might want to look at the link below and compare Never Again’s comment with abonifi1
Appears to me that some True Peasant Up North is making it’s rounds.
Come on thats not too nice is it now? Sub-Humans should know their place.
What worries me is that dispite it being an obvious “set up” comment a number of my fellow self hating Singaporeans sitll fell for it. Perhaps you boys belong to the common stock? Hardly your fault then. Run along now boys, theres a sale on Giordano T-shirts going on.

Hey fuckface:
Here’s a tip: “It’s” is ALWAYS “it is”.
I learned my English in that third world country up north, and it’s still miles better than the shit version you jackasses learned to speak. It goes without saying that our Chinese and Malay is also better, but we’re special, we know.
If you read through both blogs, it’s obvious that while both posts you point to are the same, they are not by that particular Msian blog owner. Trust me, I’m another displaced Asian on this shampoo planet, I can smell a Yank at 50 paces.
You guys in this crap hole island are a bunch of provincial little shits. SE Asia is full of provincial & narrow minded people, but they are usually nice people who just happen to be ignorant. You guys, on the other hand, seem to revel in it and are just particularly nasty little shits.
I’ve met a few nice S’poreans, but they tended to be emigrants and/or lived elsewhere, so maybe it’s just some local affliction.
Speaking of common stock, 萬劫不復 as they say but maybe the mainland Chinese can help you breed out this shit DNA.
