Why are Singaporeans so entitled and self-centered?

Take public transport must chiong to be the first to board and disregard others along the way. During peak periods always crowd near exits instead of moving in to let more people board. All must chiong for the empty seats,

On the roads always chionging and overtaking like rushing to someone's funeral, even if there's a red light in front and there's no point to drive so recklessly. When someone signals to move into their lane, many would accelerate even faster to not allow this. If someone makes a minor mistake on the road, horn until like no tomorrow, but if ownself make mistake, then it's just an honest mistake ma.

Came across too many cases of Singaporeans being rude and demanding to service staff, speaking to them in a very condescending tone when their expectations or special requests are not met. Be it in F&B, retail, transport or elsewhere, and sadly not just within Singapore but when they are overseas too. Even for things beyond control of service staff.

Comparing and competing with one another in all aspects of life, always preaching to other people on having to make the best or right decisions from their own perspective else be looked down upon.

Everything can also complain until no tomorrow.

How come like that?

I think TS is not 100% right because 50% of the populations are FT.
You should listen to their accent after you see them chiong/rush to exit, to the seat… etc
Wont be suprised If it happens that some of these are, Singaporeans.
They used to have seats, used to have alot of space n time but now has to squeeze so they have no choice but to “monkey see monkey do” same as the FT.
Those FT always behave like Singaporeans owning them a living right in Singapore.
