Haha...interesting post. Here's a little cheesy poem I just wrote to lighten up.....
Kiasuism is a Singaporean disease,
Brought forth from years of Government's policies.
Kiasuism does not discriminate or care,
Whether you are Ahmad, Ah Beng or Ah-Neh.
We learn language, mathematics and science in school,
More importantly, we learn how to be kiasu.
Being first in everything is the name of the game,
Doesn't matter if we put ourselves or families to shame.
Intermediate Kiasuism is a must for Hello Kitty,
Advance Kiasuism nails mid-year sale at Swee Lee.
Who says Singaporeans are not gracious and caring?
It's just that the fear of losing out overwhelms everything!
So how can we fight Kiasuism, the national disease?
Not another courtesy campaign coz it's just a showpiece.
