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?

Surprised no quarreling/bickering outside this week. Bad weather and crowded make people stressed.

This trait is good to save money. Ask about discount ok. At most they say no discount. Nothing lost. Must be thick skinned ask them might receive.

Any SGreans who are very successful know how to ask. Try to make deals.

I think not so much about sinkies or FT.

Is lack of self-awareness. Like how their actions affect others, and how to look beyond "self". Most people you observe that is "self-entitled" don't know any better. They have a narrow view and that is only themselves.
