Singapore Culture

"Singapore culture unlikely to emerge - not even in the next few hundred years" : predicted MM

Spending a lunchtime in the Tanjong Pagar or Raffles Place area, generally known as the Central Business District (CBD), one would find a peculiar behaviour of the fellow Singaporean lunch-goers. I believe this is not something new to many and I believe it was discussed in the MSM (i.e. the newspaper and TV). All it takes is to be armed with a packet of tissue paper or an umbrella and you are all set to "chope" a seat in the busy hawker centres or foodcourt. No fear and seat guaranteed, though it raises an eye-brow or two by the new immigrants or foreign talents.

Hmm...truly an unique Singapore culture or is it not? *scratch*

[Footnote]
Culture has been called "the way of life for an entire society." As such, it includes codes of manners, dress, language, religion, rituals, norms of behaviour and systems of belief.
