Are Singaporeans Good?

We always like to complain that Singaporeans are Kiasu, Kiasee, selfish amongst many other problems but are Singaporean "Good"?

What do other Singaporeans really think of Singaporeans? Like pointed out in an article on businessinsider "How to Piss Off A Singaporean" -

"We complain about anything and everything, and we’re good at it, too. From the influx of foreigners to the train system breaking down, or the long queues to get the latest Hello Kitty toy from McDonald’s, you’re bound to find various Singaporeans ranting about it via a simple Google search.
But think twice before you leave a disparaging remark about Singapore, because while we may strive to be a cosmopolitan city, we are still very much Asian at heart — only Singaporeans are allowed to complain about Singapore."

So are Singaporeans good or we just simply complain too much when we have time? The good people from DoGoodSg did a little exercise with some of the famous and infamous voices of the local social media scene asking - Singaporeans good or not? 



Look! That's the handsome Smith Leong! 

Me being me, my review will never be that short, so I have to give it to these good people who helped me paraphrased it. Here's the original:

"人之初,性本善。From Chinese Three Character Classic which mean "People at birth, Are naturally good." But these days, many likes to call us the "Ugly Singaporean" and I believe that is partly due to our competitive nature of current society. Many of us has forgotten on how to show patience and compassion to others in daily situation. That being said, we still see many individuals who will go on volunteer trips to help the less fortunate overseas. So are we good or not?"

So are we good or not?

Mr.Smith, I don't know about you, but I am good lah.
