新加坡人的習性? - 新加坡

뀠引述《JessicaH (卡卡貓)》之銘言：
: ※ 引述《kuckoo (...)》之銘言：
: : 新加坡人英文如果跟西方比當然沒有很流利
: : 可是在亞洲算最好了
: : 要不然他怎麼能成為business hub
: government's policy offers multi-national companies a lot benefits to set up
: regional hub here. Language and system follow British way/standard is another
: incentive as well.
: Language ability wise, my experience shows me either English / Chinese
: they conduct at work, just at OK level, can't count as pretty in general.
: Language and culture norm are related to each other,
: if Singaporean in general are not good in either, it leads to lack of culture.
: I didn't study in Singapore, but it looks like they read a lot of Chinese/
: Engish materials at school but in real life not much spiritual value
: implimented, their value comes from families, so they are practical and at
: the same time don't think out of the box as much as Taiwanese people do.
: If this counts as part of so called culture.
: As this is the successful way to survive in this society.
: Singaporeans are proud and lost in their identity if you get to know them
: better, part of the ego comes from low self-esteem as their grand parents
: are working class, but proud at the same time they made this country so
: successful in terms of $, but no one would tell you they feel HAPPY as
: not spiritual being appreciated.
: This is common in HK/TW as well, but even worst here in SIN.

在新加坡待的久些、觀察深入點，你應該能看到JessicaH所提到的現象。
你如果稍微瞭解新加坡的歷史，應該知道他自英國殖民期間就是個海港，
所以早期的中國移民幾乎都是碼頭工作的苦力（Jessica所謂的working class），
自卑即來自於此。

因為政府所牢牢掌控的媒體報喜不報憂、再加上從小的洗腦教育，
絕大多數的人的價值觀都很單一，就是唸書、考試、還有＄＄＄，
基本上從小到大受的教育就是為了成為Singapore Inc.下一代的忠誠員工。
也因此，大多數的新加坡人對事沒有什麼自己的看法，
總是需要菁英領導階層或是藍眼珠紅毛對他們發號司令，
基本上仍然是停留在洋買辦的階段。

以受雇外國人的角色出發，我覺得新加坡很不錯，
因為他提供很好的就業條件和福利；這對絕大多數外派到新加坡的外人而言也是如此。
可是如果你深入地和新加坡本地人多交流，
你會發現光鮮外表底下是有很多本地媒體看不到的黑暗面。

當然，你可以漠不關心。
但是你看不到並不代表這些黑暗面不存在。

BTW，新加坡還是有一些有文化、有內涵的中老生代的，
但是他們文化的根能夠紮下、大多是因為在台灣或是馬來西亞接受教育。

本版風氣似乎不太歡迎反面消息，
這點倒是和新加坡越來越像。
言盡於此。
