The Failure of the Courtesy Campaign

if you haven't noticed, there have been a re-emergence of a familiar icon - a lion with a nice warm smile. purpose? to 'tell' the 'lovely' bunch of 'uncouth, proud and ignorant' citizens of a 'world-class' country to simply start being courteous by saying 'thank you' and 'you are welcome'. on a harsher note, i think this nation has an animalistic nature and its countrymen, barbaric. i'm utterly abashed to admit that i'm born to be part of this 'civilised' nation.

'why so serious?' asked the joker. well, maybe nobody takes me seriously so i guess i can afford to be a little bit serious at times. my point here is just to say that the people living in the same community as i am has little humanistic nature. i can't deny that there are exceptions and they are truly exceptional indeed.

the ugly singaporean is truly a face to be reckoned with. it's horrifying. thanks to this ugly face that i now dislike the train so much. i've never been a fan of the mrt but it's worse than ever now. the people simply disregard the presence of humans around them. not only do they push and shove their way in and out, they seem to be blinded by some cloud and fail to make use of their spatial intelligence. to call it 'intelligence' when using it to describe them is a grievous act. i'm really sorry to say that no matter what the government tries, the people or 'animals' of this nation will never learn how to care for others, at least not for the next 30 years.
