Typical Singaporean

What is a typical Singaporean like, anyway? Someone who thinks Singapore is the best country in the world (there's nothing wrong with national pride; it's just misguided in this case), believes everything the government tells them, and doesn't use his head to THINK. He/She has no initiative, and only does things when told to do so or in the hope of getting a beneficial outcome from it. They spend their entire school lives slogging to get the best grades in order to get into the best schools and courses that they believe will bring the most money, which are rarely their first interests. (But then again, given our large population and the limited spaces in the universities, what choices do they have?) They are greedy and self-centered, and to quote Ad, they have no interest in what affects their country unless it affects their money. They work long hours in dead-end jobs, hating their work more and more each day. At the end of the day, they end up dissatisfied with their lives, and blame the government for it.

Gosh. A tad too harsh?
