Singaporeans - homely poets and artists?

"88 per cent of children in Singapore believe that it is more important to spend time with family than to bring home a huge pay cheque," so said Straits Times, and I agree.

I was pretty surprised a while ago when a Chinese online friend told me that a man should have great ideals. I haven't really heard of Singaporean saying such things. Perhaps it is true that northern Chinese had bigger ambitions, while southern Chinese are homely poets and artists.
