No doubt about it. There are more and more foreigners in Singapore now. From white collar workers to unskilled labour. We have them amongst us. In fact, we need them in Singapore, to aid in our blooming economy. However, are they affecting the image of our society?

Perhaps this is the way things are back in their home country. But littering, spitting, shouting in public areas are looked down upon over here in Singapore. Yes, I agree, there are Singaporeans doing the exact same things as them. Shouting into their handphones, spitting everywhere, littering. But there spitting onto MRT tracks? Shouting even when the other party is just less than a meter away? Pushing and shoving when boarding public buses?

Let's take the last example. The bus is full to its brim. The passengers are packed like sardines. It's smelly and stuffy. And you have wonderful foreigners pushing and shoving at the front door. Trying to get a limb onto the bus. This leads you to visualise overcrowded buses in bollywood movies whereby they are people hanging out from windows and people clinging onto the roofs. However, this is Singapore. Shouldn't something be done about it? And the poor bus driver is over there, trying desperately to tell them to wait for the next bus. All this, is however, a waste of saliva as they (foreign construction workers) apparently do not understand english.

Sigh, that is also one of a reason I'm looking forward to getting my own transport. Beats wasting my life to wait for those foreigners to finally realise that they cannot cling to the bus like monkeys in Singapore.

18th birthday, here I come.
