PRC woman lets her son defecate at Chinatown MRT

‘Today I saw a PRC woman allowing her son to shi.t publicly into a drain right beside Chinatown MRT station. This is very disturbing to me and I told her to bring her son to the toilet instead. However, she told me that I shouldn’t tell her what to do and she say that there is nothing wrong for letting her son shi.t publicly into a drain.
She then started scolding me and saying about how Singaporeans think that they are very classy and always think that they are better than the PRCs. She say that PRCs are also human and that they also need to shi.t….’
 
The above article is being shared all over the internet and receiving a lot of attention. You can read the whole article and other similar articles in the TRE. Let me look at it from the integration perspective. By the way, 50 years ago we were no better. The behavior was quire prevalent then. It took us at least two generations to change. We have educated ourselves to a higher standard of hygiene, social behavior and conduct that are different from peasants and villagers. Our convenience has changed with the availability of toilets and washrooms everywhere. The act of children defecating in the public is no longer acceptable to us.
 
We have moved on and not looking back, we do not want to go back to those days when we were like that. As I have said many times, once we get out of the longkangs, to be clean, why would we want to go trampling in the longkangs to dirty ourselves, to be smelly again?
 
We are 1st World, we brought in millions of 3rd World people to live with us. We want them to be like us, to integrate with us, to live our way of life. The integration must be one way, not a matter of arrogance or conceitedness. Our hygiene standard is very high and desirable. I am not saying that everything from the 3rd World is bad, but from the material comfort, hygiene, cleanliness and health point of view, this is what we want.
 
From the replies and retorts by the woman encountered, it is clear that it is not easy to integrate them to be like us. She is angry that we are imposing on her. She would want us to be like her, to accept her ways. It may take time, but some may not, or would take a very long time.
 
Our overall quality of life like cleanliness and social behavior would be affected as long as the 3rd World living with us would not want to be like us or taking too long to be like us. Our clean city images have been tainted, and some Singaporeans have also joined them to add to the littering. We have gone backwards and have to live with more untidiness and more littering and rubbish everywhere. Please don’t blame it on all Singaporeans. Nearly half the population here is 3rd World. It is lucky that we have not become 3rd World with reversed integration, instead of them becoming more like us, we becoming more like them.
 
Is this what we want? To bear with them for the sake of cheap labour and economic growth?
