Fine Country
March 8, 2008
Singapore is such a fine country as what people have said. Why? There’s a fine or penalty for everything. There’s a fine for littering, fine for eating bubble gum, fine for smoking, and etc. Simple acts, but very expensive penalties, plus imprisonment. No wonder their country is very productive, clean and disciplined. That’s because the Singaporeans above all, aside from following and being afraid of fines, they respect their authorities. How I wish Filipinos will also be like the Singaporean. When we begin to value discipline and order, we begin to be authentic Filipinos.

Hello girl,I really hope too.Before Philippines was the top in the southeast asia but left behind for so many years now.If only Filipino will help each other to improve the country and follow the rules and the greedy politician change too,I guess Philipines will do better in the future.
If u don't mind,can we exchange link?
Hi Sexymom,
Thank you so much for visiting me. I have already added you to my blog, so please add me too, ok. Take care and visit me, anytime!
im here again...
This is one of the virtues that we need to improve---the value of discipline.Very simple but very hard to follow.But one thing that i like about us?we are the most friendly people in Asia.Did u see the Singaporeans?They are never friendly.You can seldom see them smile.I'd been to Singapore many,many times,and you cannot guarantee a very friendly service that came from the heart.(Maybe once in a while but very seldom!).
Hi sexymom,wow Singaporean.Haven't been in Singapore but mostly people that i know who went there says it nice and really clean.I wish to go there sexy mom one day.For the meantime its just a wish.Hope you have a nice weekend sexy mom.
Ur right sis, discipline has to be instilled among filipinos as the number 1 value. But it takes no more than one leader to do it, it shall have to start from each and everyone of us.
i wish... we all wish...
dropping by to say "hello"
its just one on how they discipline their people.. and singapore is the cleanest city all over the world.. isn't that great to know that your country is totally named as one? hehehhe
maliit lang din income tax dun...3-8% lang ata... samantalang ako dito dati, a whopping 30%... kainis diba?
i heard it before from my teacher...what if we we're like that? hmmm...nice post!
Mommee, I'm with 'ya and your fabulous truck of idealism. I want a nicotine-free world! ;> But if we wished for that type of Utopia from a genie, our fellow Pinoys themselves will burn us at the stakes for being the worst "stuck-up KJs" ever existed. And that makes it even more sad.
Priscocam, yep, some three years ago the Singaporeans were tagged as the Unhappiest People on Earth by an online worldwide poll. Scary. I guess it's the price they pay for being so developed a nation. Scary AND ironic.
YUpp! I agree with you. I have been there and I love the country so much. Wish to go back there sooner, hehehe.
Hi,
I like the title and content of your post. It's every Filipino wish that Pinoys would emulate the discipline of Singaporeans. Our country is rich in natural resources that we can brag unfortunately...
I wish there's still hope.
