ST Forum: Bring Back Courtesy Campaign, Says Visitor

[Tjkbeluga]

Crude but I am afraid I have to agree with you.

 

Last time was toa sia yia (loud voice wins) but now is wu lui yia (got money wins)..

 

Sad progression...

To the ATs, still the same tua siah yia

Maybe be radical and hold monthly rudeness contests, then show the winning acts live and unsensored on tv, YouTube etc, let the rudest person win a free Makan or something. The idea is similar to kids who love sweats / icecream, just feed them non-stop with the things and see how much they can actually take !?!?

 

Let them see themselves on the screen.

You know Singaporeans is still courteous and kind and obedient. But forced to change quickly in the current climate.

 

With the competitive edge and fierce challenges, even the gov want us to adapt and compete with these FT/PR.

Betterest, fasterest, efficientest...cheaperest......

 

What gives? Of course we have to become more cruel, more rude, more fierce then the invading FT/PR.

 

This is very basic psychological response of human and animals.

Times has changed.....this is no longer a easy place to live.

Survival is the key word on everyone mind.

Good or bad outcome......the changes are already showing clearly everywhere I go.

can't agree more

Found it. Let's all sing together:

 

Courtesy is for free

Courtesy is for you and me.

It makes for gracious living and harmony

Living could be a treat

If people could be so sweet

Make courtesy our way of life

 

Courtesy is for free

Courtesy is for you and me.

It makes for gracious living and harmony

It is rude to be abusive

Just to prove you are right

Instead we could be nice about it if we tried

 

Make courtesy our way of life.
