I came across an article the other day where MM Lee acknowledged that Singapore although we like to think of ourselves as a first world country, will find it challenging to become as environmentally conscious as the Japanese, as we have a long way to go when it comes to green habits such as recycling and caring for the environment. I can think of some more reasons why I find it embarassing to call ourselves a developed country:

1) Sometimes when you cross the street, you find that cars instead of slowing down for you, drive faster towards you instead.
2) After so many years, Singaporeans still do not queue up to enter the MRT trains. I was surprised that the Thais do. And the HongKong people are starting to.
3) Littering is still rampant. We just have many cleaners and heavy fines to offset it.
4) At zebra crossings, drivers seem to to think that pedestrians should look out for them, instead of the other way round.
5) Too many people pretending to fall asleep on the trains with a pregnant women standing in front of them.
6) Our customer service standard is simply 'fantastic'

Those who agree say aye!
