As part of East Asian culture, Singaporeans like heightism.
Height is viewed as very very important in Singaporean society and
Chinese/Korea/Vietnamese/etc societies. If you are born short, you are
basically looked down upon.
Of course, you are also looked down upon if you:
have lower education
are young
are old
have a different skin colour
don't speak chinese
and the list goes on and on.
But you get the idea. You will always be looked down upon one way or another in Singaporean society.
It is not uncommon for the Chinese to state height requirements in job ads.
However, you should note that they rarely state breast sizes because of obvious reasons..

Things Singaporeans like: Pretending to be a safe and great place
This comes from the culture of having face at all cost. Chinese
countries value face a lot. You see this in Korea, China, Singapore,
Hong Kong, etc.
In China, the crime rate is low. People are hardworking and intelligent. There is 5000 years of civilisation.
Of course, the reality is internet is heavily filtered. Facebook, twitter, youtube and everything else is blocked. Crime is sky high. Violent crime is sky high. IP crime is sky high. People don't even bat an eyelid if you get run over by a bus or robbed/pickpocketed on the streets. But everything is swept under the carpet by the state to maintain face.
In Singapore, it is the same. The government (dictatorship really) specially prepares the airport to be immaculate so that visitors that land are impressed. They ensure the roads and trains from the airport to the city are immaculate as well. Ditto for the city centre/business areas itself. Investors and foreigners who fly into Singapore see that. They see English signs. They invest money in the city.
But in reality, the airport was built by not Singaporeans but by modern day slaves from South India and China. These men are paid 500-800 bucks per month to work as construction workers in Singapore. They built the airport. They are housed in inhumane housing, work inhumane hours, and put up with inhumane treatment, rudeness and exploitation from their Singaporean employers.
In reality, the clean streets are not kept clean by Singaporeans. But by these very same modern day slaves.
Singaporeans do work as cleaners and construction workers as well but they do not comprise more than 10%.
Another great ploy to market the city is to boast about it's 'achievements' and sweep all negative things under the carpet...i.e. whitewashing. So the media are all state owned and whitewashed.
The crime rate is manipulated by the police and government to appear low. In Singapore, crime can be seizable and non-seizable.
Non-seizable crimes are those such as assault, feeling up women, and etc. The police generally do not act on such cases. Why would they? It is extra work for them and it raises the crime statistics and makes them, the dictatorship they serve, and the country 'lose face'.
One has to take time off work to go to the civilian courts to file one's own charges. The process in theory looks okay. But in reality, it takes years and many days off work. And in the end, one has to represent oneself in court to prosecute the criminals oneself or spend many thousands of dollars to employ a lawyer to do so.
So many victims of crimes in Singapore just suck it up.
And of course, even after criminals are convicted, the dictatorship and their henchmen will fudge the figures to present a low crime rate so as to have face and to attract investors.
Granted the overcrowding (many pairs of eyes watching all the time) and dictatorship (death penalties for anything they fancy) have created a fearful society just like that in North Korea/China/Myanmmar etc.
But try walking down a street in Singapore and see how many people are trying to deliberately bang into you, insult you, and cut you down. Note how the apartments all have more metal grills and bars than prison cells. Pigs are flying if Singapore has a low crime rate (honest rate that is not fudged)!

Things Singaporeans love: Rudeness
Singaporeans have a shared penchant for rudeness. Sparing a thought for others' feelings is viewed as a sign of immaturity in Singaporean society.
They speak in a rude tone. Their language is rude. Their body language is rude. Their facial expressions are rude. They act in the rudest manner. They are culturally rude.
There will never be someone who simply smiles at you to greet you or say 'Hello how are you?' to you on the street. If there is, you can bet he is not a Singaporean. Or perhaps, a stranger who passes you some extra food or offers a helping hand with your heavy bag.

Things Singaporeans love: Avoiding eye contact
Like all thieves, crooks and twisted humans, be it a gangster from Compton or a thief from Zimbabwe, Singaporeans love to avoid eye contact.
And don't forget, Singaporeans are the most depressed in the world (Gallup survey). It is well-known that depressed people avoid eye contact as well.
It is common to talk to someone who avoids all eye contact. People avoid eye contact in daily lives and interacting with 'people' brings a chill to your heart.
People by default pretend to sleep on buses and trains so as to avoid any interaction (including eye contact) with others. They then 'wake up' just when their station name is blasted on the speakers.
Would you want to live in such a twisted, lifeless and cold society with no positivity between people?

Things Singaporeans like: Arrogance and Face
Ask anyone who has dealt with Singaporeans, and they will tell you how arrogant Singaporeans are.
Walking on the streets of Singapore, it is easy to observe the arrogance on display, on each face of each Singaporean.
People do not give way to each other, instead, they deliberately bump into others just to 'show them who is the boss'.
In the toilets, they squat on toilet seats with their shoes on, and then place their shoes on the wall as they clean their bottoms.
In the lifts, they press the lift close button whenever they see someone approach.
On the roads, they would run you over three times if you are on a bicycle.
In the trains, they are so selfish they rush into the trains without even giving others a chance to exit. As a matter of fact, train stations even run advertisements in train stations to tell people to let others get off the train before entering it. This is someone a 5 year old in other parts of the world does automatically.
If you are a male, and you walk near a Singaporean woman who is taller than you, you can be sure that 9 out of 10 times, she will look down on you and refuse to give way to you.
If you are walking on the streets, you can be sure that cyclists will cycle on footpaths and edge dangerously close to you.
Oh yes, how can I forget, shitting and urinating in swimming pools is also a favourite pasttime of Singaporeans as well!
Things Singaporeans like: Malnutrition and poor nutrition
In continuing their tradition of the Medusa stare (or perhaps the Medusa touch), Singaporeans (and Asians) have managed to fucked up nutrition till beyond repair.
Singaporeans do not eat food according to calories, vitamins and mineral needs. No. They eat food according to 'heatiness' and 'coldness'. Basically, in their culture, all food is either heaty or cold. Heaty food are normally those with high oil content and cold or cooling food is basically those with lesser oil content.
Eat too much heaty food and you become too heaty and you will develop fevers, sore throats and pimples.
Eat too much cold food and you will develop sore throats, colds, and fevers.
Oh wait! What?
Yes. So you are always either 'heaty' or 'cold' and hence always sick in Singaporean culture.
Singaporean food (lunch and dinner) comprises rice along with a small bowl of vegetables and if you are lucky, a few strands of meat. Breakfast is normally two slices of bread with kaya (sweet gel) or peanut butter. Calories wise, this comes up to 1600 or so per day, far below the 2500-3000 calories a normal male needs.
White rice is high in GI, as high as sugar water, and causes a carbohydrates crash just two hours or so after ingestion.
The diet is one that promotes malnutrition, and poor health.
Some say 'you are what you eat' and it is no wonder Singaporeans are loons.

Singapore -- least emotional and least happy in the world.
A reputable survey company called Gallup recently did a global poll and found Singaporeans to be the least emotional and least happy in the world.
Gallup's poll placed Singapore at the top of the list of countries where fewest adults experienced positive emotions and Singaporeans are less happy than worn torn countries such as the Iraqi, Yemeni, Afghans and Haitians.
It doesn't take much to verify this. Get off a plane and talk to the locals and observe their behaviour in Singapore and within 15 minutes you will probably never want to return for life.

Things Singaporeans like: Queuing
Singaporeans view something with a queue as something desirable to be gained. This is of course illogical, as with most things in the loony bin that is Asia. A food stall with a queue must be serving good food and hence they join the queue like sheep. Could it be that they are slow in preparing their food? Or that the food doesn't suit your taste? Yes.
So they would queue up for anything. Including an hour for a four dollar ice cream.

Things Singaporeans love: In a Chart
Here are the things Singaporeans love in a chart. It is basically the opposite of the chart above. The things Singaporeans love in terms of priority from most to least are:
1.Wealth
2.Devout (to their religions or ancestor worship)
3.Spiritual life (most believe in spirits and ghosts)
4.Social recognition (probably as high as 2)
5.Exciting life
6. Successful
7. Clean (many are germaphobes)
8. National Security (Dictatorships normally spend a lot of money preparing for wars)
The things Singaporeans absolutely detest in order of most to least importance are:
1.Politeness (Singaporeans and most Asians detest this the most)
2.A world at peace (Asians even fight in parliaments, what do you think?)
3. Honest (Honesty is frowned upon and is viewed as being stupid. The Asians think, why would one be honest unless there is money or something to be gained?)
4. Equality (In Asian culture, they insist that one must be ranked according to his/her height, wealth, looks, age, and everything)
5. Social justice
6. True friendship (Singaporeans and most Asians detest this. Try walking up to someone on the street and saying hi and chatting with them and see the reactions you get. People you meet often promise to stay in touch)

Freedom

A scene of a typical loony Singaporean couple breaking up
This is a not a post about what Singaporeans like but a video of a typical loony Singaporean couple breaking up on the streets. I swear I have seen the man before.
A cornerstone of upper-class Chinese culture is 'face'. Having face basically means a show of superiority and wealth. So having face may comprise appearing in public in a BMW car, carrying a branded bag, achieving the national dream of the 5Cs, having a good job, having good education, etc. Basically, being a show-off due to one's insecurities and materialism.
It is the Asian equivalent of having immaculate manners and accent amongst the upper-class in Britain.
Note: this is only applicable to the upper class of Chinese. The everyday Chinese hardly care about face much.

Things Singaporeans love: Racism
Singaporeans and Asians in general love racism. Hierarchy is an integral part of Asian culture and one is placed on a hierarchy based on everything -- height, age, looks, gender, and race.
Racism is a misnomer because we are all the same race and species: we are all humans (a sub species of the great apes).
Singaporeans are mostly Chinese and they love pale skin. Chinese women bleach their skin. They avoid the sun like vampires. Ditto for Chinese men. The Chinese regard tanned skin as being dirty, stained and associated with low socio-economic status (and we all know that the 5Cs are the national dream of Singapore).
This is the direct opposite of Western European culture where tanned skin is viewed as being healthy and desirable. And where people are viewed as equal.
The labourers and maids in Singapore from South Asia and South East Asia are basically treated like dirt. Maids (Au Pairs in Europe) are often asked to sleep on the hard floor, given little food, and made to work inhumane hours. Some are asked to sit away from the family while they eat in restaurants (just like a pet dog). Oh, and they are paid 300-400 USD for a month's worth of live-in work. Labourers are housed in overcrowded dormitories with zero personal space and poor hygiene. They are worked to the bone daily by Singaporean supervisors who treat them as animals - to be worked and then shipped back home. Abuses are common - from verbal abuses to physical ones.
Why do these people take it?
Because many of them have paid the agents a large sum of money just for the opportunity to work in Singapore. They cannot lose their jobs or they will go back to their countries in debt.
Every other job advertisement in Singapore will ask for Mandarin-speaking applicants only. Even if they do not state it in their ads, many of them will filter our job applicants who do not speak Mandarin simply by reading their names and resumes.
Many Singaporean Indians, Malays and Eurasians themselves do not speak Chinese. Unemployment rates are typically higher in these groups because of racism in society. The overwhelming majority of Singaporean Chinese choose to marry another Chinese as the culture is racist.
Europeans are often the targets for racism as well. Many Singaporeans may view Europeans as being rich, scary and violent and hence steer clear of them. Which of course, are untrue. However, many Europeans in Singapore are indeed rich as they are mostly senior and well-paid executives posted to work in Singapore.
But equally many will dislike Europeans simply because of arrogance, racism in their culture, hierarchy in their culture, and partly because of European wars in China (Opium wars, etc) as well as Singapore's status as a former outpost of England (where the British were given the best jobs and lived in terraced houses, while the locals, mostly immigrant coolies and maids from farther up north in Asia, lived in slums and were made to obey the British administrators.). Or more simply because their default culture is rudeness and hostility. So looking a bit different makes things even worse.
Singaporeans rarely beat someone up due to racism. But shaking of heads, pretending to bump into you, and making that 'chek' sound with their mouths to put you down are daily, if not hourly, or 30-minute affairs.

Things Singaporeans love: Distrust and zero goodwill
Singaporeans (and most Asians) love treating people and things with distrust and zero goodwill.
The default way to treat someone ranges from rudeness to obvious distrust.
Examples of rudeness includes:
Shaking one's head while looking at you
Rushing into the trains while people are going out of it
Deliberately walking into people on the street by pretending to be ignorant of their presence (so as to feel superior by forcing someone off the pavement)
Making a 'chek' sound with their mouths
Staring at people angrily while perhaps cracking one's knuckles to pick a fight
Honking others on the road
Trying to run over pedestrians on the road
Not flushing toilets
General body language
General tone of voice. They always sound arrogant and rude.
Language used when talking to people
Treating expatriate employees from South Asia or South East Asia as below dogs and cats. Housing them in total dumps, paying them obscene salaries (300 USD per month), working them to death and then looking at them with disgust.
And basically a total inability to care or be concerned about people's feelings
Yelling at others 'boy' or 'girl' while providing 'customer service'
Zero customer service basically in every business
Examples of distrust and lack of goodwill includes:
Never talking or saying 'hi' to people
When someone smiles at a Singaporean, the default response is to ignore it awkwardly or to be rude to the person
Reciprocating kindness with coldness and rudeness
Friends who never contact you ever...i.e. hard to make friends. Because Singaporeans love distrust and are loony.
Always being suspicious about people in a negative way
General body language
General tone of voice
Language used when talking to people
Apartments are all sealed with iron or steel bars. Doors are protected by metal gates and at least two locks to enter to the apartments.
Video cameras everywhere. Especially in lifts.
Women who scream 'molest' because in their loony minds they think just screaming molest is enough to put someone in jail. And then blackmailing males for money.

Typical scene in lonely, cold, negative and rude Singapore. Zero goodwill, greetings, smiles, conversations, kindness and interaction in the train with everyone either pretending to play with their phones or sleep or stare blanky into space for the hour or two they take the train.

Things Singaporeans love: Onemanupship
Singaporeans love to be onemanupship. What it basically means is that Singaporeans love to be 'one up'. Unlike the Aussies and British who believe that the next man is as good as himself, Singaporeans believe that they must be better than everyone else, or else, they are a failure in life, and they are losers.
Singaporeans are shallow and materialistic. The national dream is the 5Cs - Credit Card, Cars, Condominum, Country club membership and of course, Cash.
Onemanupship means that kids, as young as 7, learn to compete in school to be one up on their classmates. This is inculcated in them by their parents. Who remind them daily to be 'one up' on their classmates by scoring better grades than Tan Shun Ming the kid in the next seat.
Singaporean kids compare their grades, family's wealth, height and basically everything. They start from young.
When these kids grow up, they start to compare their jobs, salaries, housing, whether they drive a car, etc.
Striving to be good is a good quality in men. But as usual, Singaporeans can turn anything into a disgusting thing. Instead of working hard and smart to be good. They spend their time backstabbing others, being jealous, being distrustful and putting down others all the time. And they spend their entire lives obsessing over money and branded bags and branded cars.
Singaporeans are known to be 'Kiasu' which is basically a Hokkien word for 'being afraid to lose'. This is just another term for onemanupship.
The Fillipinos, Chinese, Koreans and most Asians are the same. The Koreans are even worse. Parents save money for their kids to have plastic surgery when the turn 18 and most Korean media personalities have had plastic surgeries before.

About this site
This website is about Asians, Asia and Singapore. It talks about things
Singaporeans (and most Asians, maybe, except the Japanese) love.
Singapore is a tiny island barely 20km tall and 40km wide. Most Singaporeans were originally Asian coolies and maids imported who came to the island to escape from famine and seek a better life.
Independence came in 1965. Britain was then tired of putting up an act about the 'empire' and the 'Commonwealth'.
Most Singaporeans are Chinese with a smattering of Malay and Indians.
Singaporean culture is based on superstitions. The infusion of science and rationality into Western European has taken centuries through the Englightenment and Industrial revolution. All these ages did not happen in Asian societies.
Singaporeans think and live according to superstitions mostly. It is basically a loony bin filled with loonies.
Singaporeans do not eat food according to calories and nutrients. They eat food according to 'heatiness' and 'coldness'. Every food is either heaty or cold and they make it up as they go along. Most Asians (Filippinos, Koreans, Chinese, Japanese, etc )think of food the same way. Malnutrition and poor nutrition is the result of this. Rice is the usual food and rice has little nutrients and it as sugary as sugared water itself, leading to carb crash, with the lack of thinking power and more looniness amongst Singaporeans and Asians.
Many Singaporeans also do not believe in Western Medicine. They believe that the Common Cold/flu is due to the weather being too cold. If one has a fever, that is because one is too heaty. This corresponds to the 'heaty' and 'cold' concepts when eating food. Asian medicine is a hog wash of herbal formulas (of which most doctors don't even know. And many contain high level of poisonous substances.) and quack doctors. Accupunture, Chinese Herbal formulas, Feng Shui, Chinese Prayers, etc are the default Medicine. It is not uncommon for Singaporeans to refuse Western cancer treatment and to drink herbal tea (grass + water basically) and then die from what is curable cancer. Chinese businessmen sell pretty crystals for thousand of dollars because Singaporeans believe it will improve their health and luck.
Singaporean and Asian culture is based on hierarchy. Everything must be placed in a hierarchy and ranking. Humans are ranked according to their age, education, income, looks, height, skin colour, and more. Children are constantly ranked in school and trying to backstab their classmates so that they can get better grades. Adults are constantly trying to move to higher-paying jobs (surveys show Singaporeans have the least loyalty towards their employers and feels the least engaged at work in the world). Singaporeans and Asians are mostly reverse-ageist against the young. Old people are revered as gods, never mind if you are a rapist. And old people often yell at the young rudely and address them as 'boy' or 'girl' or in Chinese 'Xiao Di' or 'Xiao Mei', literally 'Little Boy' and 'Little Girl'.
There is no trust in society and selfishness and distrust is the default culture. People do not talk to one another, make eye contact, or even say 'hi'. If two Singaporeans sit side by side, the default behaviour is to avoid eye contact, and pretend to play with their mobile phones, or to look at something else, anything but to talk to one another.
People are aggressive, rude and basically loony. They rush into trains not caring if they bump into people. They walk on the streets ignoring people and blocking others. And then curse others for banging into them. Their eyes are cold, aggressive and they basically look like thieves. Because there is no conscience or humanity in their culture. Singaporeans like to puck their lips and make a 'chek' sound to 'verbally hit' or basically to demean someone. They do that all the time. Another favourite is to deliberately walk into someone and make him/her walk around them so they have shown them who is the 'boss'. Shaking their heads to demean and be rude to others is also most common. Needless to say, scowls, looks of disgust, looks of arrogance and various rude looks are the default looks on their faces.
In countries with similar cultures, such as Taiwan and Korea, fights are very common, even in their parliaments or senate for the Americans. This is because Asians, and Singaporeans, generally don't have the ability to accept different opinions without fighting. There are few if not no fights in the parliaments of countries such as Singapore, North Korea, and China. Because these countries are basically dictatorships or one-party states (more aptly termed as the 'Emperor System' which is basically how Asian societies are governed) so there have never been enough opposition members in parliament to start a fight. Besides, these countries are ruled by fear and starting a fight against the Emperor only gets your head rolling off your shoulders and that is pretty bad for one's health.
The National Culture is embodied by the 5Cs - Credit Card, Cash, Car, Country Club membership and Condominium. I don't have to tell you how shallow and materialistic that is. It stems from the Asian culture to have 'face' at all cost. During Chinese New Year, all the songs and well wishes are about wishing one another prosperity, wishing others good luck, wishing that others win the lottery (mostly about money again) for the New Year. Singaporeans give each other money (money again) in red packets (for financial prosperity again) and not gifts. I don't have to tell you that money is pretty important in Singapore. Ladies carry their branded handbags so as to compensate for their lack of anything good inside. Guys are busy earning money so as to buy cars and similar things to impress the females so as to compensate for their lack of anything good inside.
Singaporeans also work one of the longest hours in the world. Singaporeans like to leave the office only after their boss has left so as to present an image of them working hard. I.e. keep face.
Singapore is the most densely populated country in the world. There are over 7000 people per km2. Since suburban i.e. housing neighbourhoods make up only half or one-quarter of the country (the rest being parks, offices, transport networks, etc), in most residential parts of the country, there is probably 30,000 people per km2. If you were to put 8 average houses in the West in a line, that would build a high-rise apartment in Singapore that would house a few hundred families.
Singapore is also governed through an Emperor system aka a dictatorship like many Asian countries. Emperors have run Asia throughout Asian history and it is part of the culture as well. Democracy developed in Western Europe over a 1000 years and developed with Western European culture. Asians never did force their Emporer to sign a Magna Carta and Athens is not in Asia.
Singaporeans don't like the idea of democracy and egalitarianism. Everything must be in a hierarchy. How can humans be equal or be treated equally? There is only the rich and the poor (subhuman). The Emperors and the Royals and the Commoners. In their minds that is.
Singaporeans like to have power over others and they like to abuse that power whenever possible. Maids are common in Singapore. They come from Indonesia and the Philippines and are paid 300-500 USD a month. Many are made to sleep on the floor, in tiny rooms, and fed a diet worst than farm animals. It is also common for maids to be made to sit apart from the family when they dine in restaurants.
Singapore, like all dictatorships, including the Russian one, the Korean one, or the one run by King Charles a long time ago, is governed by the use of force and fear. Everything is illegal-- from chewing gum to vandalism to peaceful protests. Opposition members (trouble-makers who try to create trouble for the Emperor and the Royals) who are prominent are haressed and often jailed. One poor lad named Chia Thye Poh was jailed for decades until the 1990s. Without trial of course. Although I doubt going to trial would have yield any difference in his circumstances.
Opposition members are shunned by everyone. Most of them have trouble finding employment as well. Singaporeans generally avoid talking about politics and it is not uncommon for them to go 'shuuush' when someone criticises the Royals. And of course, the media is all tightly controlled, and editors in the newspapers are often very carefully selected.
Almost all Singaporeans live in tiny apartments. And almost all travel by public transport (very crowded and squeezy public transport) as cars cost at least 50,000 USD and up due to car control measures adopted by the Emperor and his court.
The weather is hot and humid all year round. It is so hot and humid that life is impossible without cooling. And it is like living in a mouth. The air is hard to breathe in and it causes one to be lethagic and flare up often.
Upon independence in 1965, the Emperor and his Royal Family in Singapore decided that using English and pretending to use British laws would give legitimacy to their rule. English also helped to impress foreign investors and attract much-needed investments from Europe (especially Britain and America) so as to have a chance of solving the problem of mass starvation. They also needed a means of communicating between the different language-groups in Singapore. Singapore (an island only 20km wide, with no resources, depended entirely on foreign investments and today, still does) needed investment to survive. The Royals set out to impress foreign investors. They carefully created an immaculate Changi Airport. They ensured that the road from Changi Airport to the City Centre was immaculate as well so foreigners who arrive would be impressed. They cleared the locals out of the City Centre and housed them farther away and created a business fortress in the City Centre. They hired cleaners from South Asia, paid them low wages, worked them to the bone, threatened to send them back if they did not clean the City well. They enacted laws (much like how the Chinese or North Korean one-party 'parliament' enacts law) and hence, was able to keep the City, especially the City Centre very clean.
In reality, there is nothing English about Singapore. Culturally, people are Asian, the accents are Asian, the laws are Asian, the political system is Asian, but they tried to use fake English laws and systems to give the dictatorship some legitimacy. Just like how the Chinese dictatorship, Korean dictatorship, Russian dictatorship, Zimbawean dictatorship and many others attempt to legitimise their rule with fake one-party parliaments, fake elections, and the use of guns or other punishments.
Singapore is basically a few million selfish and aggressive loonies, cramped into the most overcrowded area on earth, in one of the most humid and hot areas right on the equator, who eat poor diets, have poor healthcare, and are obsessed with face, materialistic goods, racist, and sleep deprived due to long working hours, living in fear under the Emporer and his court.
Countries in the world today are basically gangs. It is no different from gangs in Manakau City or Compton or A member of a gang is stuck in a particular place, unable to leave, and he is influenced by people around him. He/she draws all his ideas and behaviour from the same source (the same mainstream culture). How can everyone in Singapore be so bad? Not everyone is bad, just like not everyone in a Biker's gang or a racist Gang or who has done time for rape is bad but most (80%) are.
Singaporeans surely have a gift of making anything and everything disgusting.
Singapore is a tiny island barely 20km tall and 40km wide. Most Singaporeans were originally Asian coolies and maids imported who came to the island to escape from famine and seek a better life.
Independence came in 1965. Britain was then tired of putting up an act about the 'empire' and the 'Commonwealth'.
Most Singaporeans are Chinese with a smattering of Malay and Indians.
Singaporean culture is based on superstitions. The infusion of science and rationality into Western European has taken centuries through the Englightenment and Industrial revolution. All these ages did not happen in Asian societies.
Singaporeans think and live according to superstitions mostly. It is basically a loony bin filled with loonies.
Singaporeans do not eat food according to calories and nutrients. They eat food according to 'heatiness' and 'coldness'. Every food is either heaty or cold and they make it up as they go along. Most Asians (Filippinos, Koreans, Chinese, Japanese, etc )think of food the same way. Malnutrition and poor nutrition is the result of this. Rice is the usual food and rice has little nutrients and it as sugary as sugared water itself, leading to carb crash, with the lack of thinking power and more looniness amongst Singaporeans and Asians.
Many Singaporeans also do not believe in Western Medicine. They believe that the Common Cold/flu is due to the weather being too cold. If one has a fever, that is because one is too heaty. This corresponds to the 'heaty' and 'cold' concepts when eating food. Asian medicine is a hog wash of herbal formulas (of which most doctors don't even know. And many contain high level of poisonous substances.) and quack doctors. Accupunture, Chinese Herbal formulas, Feng Shui, Chinese Prayers, etc are the default Medicine. It is not uncommon for Singaporeans to refuse Western cancer treatment and to drink herbal tea (grass + water basically) and then die from what is curable cancer. Chinese businessmen sell pretty crystals for thousand of dollars because Singaporeans believe it will improve their health and luck.
Singaporean and Asian culture is based on hierarchy. Everything must be placed in a hierarchy and ranking. Humans are ranked according to their age, education, income, looks, height, skin colour, and more. Children are constantly ranked in school and trying to backstab their classmates so that they can get better grades. Adults are constantly trying to move to higher-paying jobs (surveys show Singaporeans have the least loyalty towards their employers and feels the least engaged at work in the world). Singaporeans and Asians are mostly reverse-ageist against the young. Old people are revered as gods, never mind if you are a rapist. And old people often yell at the young rudely and address them as 'boy' or 'girl' or in Chinese 'Xiao Di' or 'Xiao Mei', literally 'Little Boy' and 'Little Girl'.
There is no trust in society and selfishness and distrust is the default culture. People do not talk to one another, make eye contact, or even say 'hi'. If two Singaporeans sit side by side, the default behaviour is to avoid eye contact, and pretend to play with their mobile phones, or to look at something else, anything but to talk to one another.
