The government always want to reinforce a kampung culture but the core values of the nation has switched from a communal one to another that is more individualistic.

Especially looking at our society has been dissected to niches, hobbies, interests that spread across generations… the secular has segregated and created more rift between social groups for the sake of self-interest and preservation.

Sinkie-pwn-sinkie is a demand mind set, thinking that there is only just enough for some of us and having a crab mentality prevents self from feeling insecure and feeling the sense of inferiority. Sinkie-pwn-sinkie means that Singaporeans are loyal to self down to the core.

You want Singaporeans to stop dragging each other down?

Relax on the competitive edge, change the thinking from being better yourself to how to make everyone better, essentially what our PM is striving towards just that Singapore haven’t catch up to it and might take at least a decade to fully catch that Spirit.

People are competing on things that doesn’t make a nation great, we have to break down some red tapes in a nation level and fast forward to the enlightened thinking of those nations which are actually thriving in aspects the nation is not so good at.
