ngohan8, I think about the escalator thing, it doesn't lay on human behavior but social behavior, I have seen Singaporeans automatically stand on the right of escalator in HK and Japan, on the other hand, these "rules" do not really applies here as our escalators here are not as crowded as countries like HK/Japan....

As for kids running around in public, I have kid too... so I understand how other parents feel... sometimes, we just no "air" to control them...

standing on the right side of escalator/travelator (but here abit opposite as other country practice "stand right, walk left")
act blur or sleep on the "reserve seat" in mrt (but sitting on these seat can be quite a predicament when one is tired)
letting children run amok in public area without supervision and not apologising when their little ones inconvenient others

The problem is Singaporeans are too nice... if in HK, the food store owner or you (the person waiting for seats) will F that maron up side down...

Not allowed to share table with others during lunch time at hawker or coffee shop even there is spare seats. Reply was I DO NOT SHARE TABLE WITH OTHERS. Bloody moron, as if that moron owned the entire place

Yes, Singaporeans are very well-behaved... on the other hand, on the road not so but improving, esp taxi drivers... last time very bad... what I meant is that people tends to prevent another car from cutting into their lane, never give way, esp traffic jam wouldn't let go...

Singaporean are very well behaved comparing to alot of other nationalities.

At least that is what I feel.

Most of are portray to be rude because they are pretty quiet and not as responsive as the westerners.

[seiko.citizen]

s'poreans keep to themselves alot too. not as open as westerners.

im surprised no one raised it yet... standing in front of MRT doors and not letting people alight first
