Being a Singaporean for over 30 years, I have never like Singapore more. Travelled to many countries, I found Singapore to be efficient, kind, cheap, safe, and respectful of each other. There is no place like home. However, as a true breed Singaporean, I have to say that I would love to tell others about it if:
(1) My old house was en-bloc earlier (not prior to election).
(2) Anyone can potentially become the big boss in government-linked companies.
(3) Phillip Yeo don't shame scholars (and admit he know nuts about research)
(4) Our soccer team beats Japan and Korea.
(5) We can organize weekend big walk type of happy demonstration.
(6) Taka jewelry store assistant don't stand outside the doorway blocking me from entering (and stop bugging me).
(7) MRT runs faster.
(8) There is no copying and everyone focus on innovations.
(9) Price is transparent and customers don't haggle.
(10) School students can wear what they like to school.
(11) The baby boomers work harder and mention less about retirements.
(12) University academics think less of themselves and pay more attention to students.
(13) We can just be ourselves and speak Singlish, chew gums, and don't have to smile to tourists.
(13) Everyone agree that we should work hard, but within 40 hours per week and no more. Let's go home and enjoy our life, despite rain, wind, or earthquake!
