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.
