Manuel 6th Apr 2010

People are not friendly. Waitresses serve with frowning faces. Cab drivers gets angry when you ask details about your fare. Hotel receptionist tells you instruction as though you're an idiot. Hangs up the phone even before you could say bye.

A friend who live their for years now said that, that really is Singaporean service. Too bad.

The place is great though for shopping. Although I agree that it is an artificial city. Everything is man-made. No nature tripping in Singapore.

Thanks Nieza. That's what I'm talking about. Singapore indeed is a beautiful place. It's just that, as I have said, I happened to be in a bad situation all at the same time. I'm going back to Singapore. I have a friends there. Hope to see you. Thanks.

I was a Singaporean but now an Australian.Everytime whenever I do visit my motherland I fill sad cos the service that I usually encounter are either rude or of no interest.Culture and Attitude are two different meaning.

Singaporeans never accept their mistakes, lot of them are proud, complains too much, always look stressful, and most people on the front job such as receptionist in the hotels are not Qualified for it. Yeah is a beautiful city, but services is nothing to talk about...Manuel Jr. You are very right in ur observation, i think you should try Thailand and Malaysia, they are friendly and you will not think of going home... think about it. Professionals should learn how to say am sorry, Personal Interest (P.I)

I have to agree but we should not generalize it :(. Some locals have issues with foreigners but somehow there are still friendly folks out there ..
