Courtesy & Considerate; Is it a Singaporean trait?

As much as i love and proud to be a singaporean, i despise those(yeap, singaporeans that is) who just doesn't know how to be considerate and show courtesy. Most of the people i know are good people but sadly, there are also others who aren't. I won't mentioned names because its not politically right to do so. Anyways, my point here is, singaporeans aren't as considerate and courteous as most people had come to know of. This is frankly bullnuts but its a fact. One very clear example is the mrt. I'm sure most of us take the train everyday. And i'm sure that most of us seldom sits on the train. Alrite, i'm only referring to those who have enough consideration and courtesy not to rush into train even before passengers alighting it and grabbing sits like they were made of gold. Frankly speaking, that's pathetic. It usually happens to me everyday. Okay, that sounds abit off key. Basically, its what i have been observing everyday, especially coming back from work. Everytime i reach jurong east interchange(the middle track), even before passengers get to alight from the train, those waiting to get on board rush in like scavengers, trying to get sits. As for me, i couldn't get off the train without barging(accidently of course!!) into someone. Alrite, we may be singaporeans, living in a modern society, high class this, high class that but in terms of emotional intelligence, we are bad. I'm not sure how will we fare in terms of being nice people with other countries but i'm sure we aren't that bad. Hopefully when i get the chance to go overseas(i've only been to malaysian, indonesia and thailand) i will probably get to observe our fellow homosapiens. How many of us have encountered bad customer service or should i say, rude people? I'm sure most of us did. And its not a good thing. This could happen anywhere and everywhere. Be it at work, shopping malls or even food courts. Being courteous is not only being nice to people, in my opinion, its also about respecting another person and showing emotional intellingence. I can safely say and rightly so, that i have high emotional intellingence and being courteous wherever and whenever i can. Its very hard to explain whether someone has high or low emotional intelligence. I'm sure some of you have read a post on komal's blog about the racist guy who wrote something about indians. Okay, its his blog and he can write whatever he wants but whatever he wrote is being read by people everywhere. Firstly, to say something so condescending about another race is not a good thing, obviously. Secondly, to claim that its nothing and that he could give a fuck about it is also not a good thing. So, what can we assess from here? Well first of all, i'm disappointed to know a singaporean with such attitude. This guy obviously has ZERO emotional intelligence. He didn't care about what he said and most importantly, he didn't care about what others would have felt with the comments he had made. Well, basically, i got nothing to say about this guy. The only thing i can hope for is for him to realise his mistake and be more considerate. Most of us don't usually admit our own mistakes. Even if we do, do we actually admit it? As in literally? People make mistakes and learnt from it. But do we? [Once a jerk, always a jerk]
