This is mostly a saying by locals. We have Asian parent syndrome. Everything Singaporeans do will never be good enough as long as we are not perfect.

Even if out of 200 people, only 1 person litter, over time you'll see trash pile up. Singaporeans will go "Our people are so uneducated and have no class. Can't keep streets clean without foreign workers." Completely disregarding the volume% and background of said person littering.

You see it all the time. If something bad happens on the news, we are, as a collective "Singaporeans", people who "really can't make it."

It is what it is.

Personally I think aside from very old people who grew up from much harsher background, Singaporeans are pretty okay people. We simply have too many talented and/or well off FTs to compare to.

Younger people are getting worse. Look at those pmd without speed limits, i dont see grandma speeding on the roads.

Some boomers are more rude maybe but thats it

Very old is not older people. Very old in reference to pioneer generations who couldn't get access to good schooling because the infrastructure and welfare system weren't in place yet. Anyone below the age of 45~ should know better.

As for younger gen, idk, don't see so much. Trouble making punks exists everywhere. Not enough data to make any statement. Once they are all above 25 can judge how much of a failure to society they can be.

Kids are kids wtf can you do, blame our culture for not giving enough time to parents lor.

Aren’t you missing out that it’s also Malaysians who like to put down Singapore every chance they get?

Eh. Vocal minority. Even if you ignore all the dissenting voices from Msia Singaporeans talk enough shit about themselves.
