I was surfing the net in search of articles or photos of Turkey (to get inspirational). Then I spotted this on yahoo:
"Anyone who been to Singapore and Turkey? Which country(singapore or Turkey) you prefer if you have choice to live in? and why? i been to singapore and i dont think the people is nice. they are nice to fair skin people. its very hurtful. im not fair skin. i would not doubt that singapore is the most beautiful country and some are nice people but not most of them. those working in the gorvernment tough nice people but not much the local." Like wow! This was posted a year ago by the way.I am not sure if this is a good step but I would have to agree on the part when this person mention that locals are not so nice. I think lots of our locals are 'ugly' people. Have you been to Starbucks? Almost 80% of the time I patronise Starbucks I will not received good service because I am not Ang Moh. I recall my colleague's experience when she told me that some girl behind the Starbucks counter wasn't smiling when she was being serve but the girl behind the counter was smiling widely when serving an Ang Moh after her.
Isn't it sad? Singaporeans who don't treat Singaporeans well. We will be hosting YOG 2010 and we are still a long way from being graceful.
