the act that was caught on TV

Last time, IIRC, foreigner tends to regard Singaporeans quite highly… saying things like Singaporean man are kind, considerate, etc etc… compared to their own country…


When the foreigners come to SG to work, they felt gratitude to SG for giving them a job etc… and tends to be humble

Nowadays, we find foreigners insulting Singaporeans…

Bcoz our leaders repeatedly telling us how we need FTs etc etc… Until the Foreigners felt like they are like very big and locals are useless… and we need them…

Well… what to do, 60% likes it this way…

Texting, reading, recording, playing… is not the issue. Teachers had been telling me, when Ma Li Ke Tah is being played must stand straight straight and look ahead, also straight straight, or I will miss recess.

and no talking or gigling, anyone caught would have to sing the anthem alone to the entire school

Poor girl (I mean the foreigner who commented)... Many new citizens compare Singapore with their country of origin and they cannot understand why we are so hard on our politicians. In some countries in South East Asia, a powerful politician can send a hitman out to shoot someone he doesn't like and NOTHING will happen to him and NO ONE will dare to complain about him. Compared to politicians like that, Penny is an angel.


I am not trying to condone what Penny did. After all, did not all of us grow up in school being taught to say the pledge and sing the anthem at full attention? BUT, there seems to be a massive over reaction here....

Thank you my dear. My sentiments exactly.

An MP was texting during National Anthem, and suddenly we have a witch hunt. I mean, she has apologised, so what else do we want from her? Quit her post? Take her kids out of school? We are approaching the voyeuristic extremes of the UK tabloids, and guess where that ended up?
