Singapore -- Wake up and Smell the Reality

This Anton Casey case... Yeah, it's obvious his remarks were disdainful and mindlessly stereotypical. But don't people think from this we've got a bigger issue idling within our laundry basket? Amy Cheong, Stephanie Koh and Anonymous - among other waves of social media - have already bashed aspects of Singapore. Indiscretion and uncharismatic tactics aside, kudos to those who dare hang our soiled linen out in a funhouse of patriotic drones. 

I've taken nosedives in-between people and culture, both local and national, and the difference is like friggin’ water and booze. People here are caught in a loop of unhappiness; the complaints are always the same: "Foreigners", "fare hikes", "public transport", "education", "housing", "employment"... Having to go out sometimes can be a turn-off when Singaporeans on the streets pout like they've just gone through an ascetic vasectomy, castrated and impotent. That's probably why our night life seems brighter than our day.
