The ugly and uncivilised Singaporeans

KUALA LUMPUR, June 9, 2025: Singaporeans, when they are in their country, are as meek as a mouse, civilised, law fearing and abiding.

However, they show their ugly side when they drive and enter Malaysia.

They are transformed into uncivilised beings, drive on Malaysian roads as if they are on a race track, blatant disregard for traffic regulations and laws, and behave like road bullies.

Is it because they lack civics education or what? Perhaps, when they leave Singapore, they feel as if they have been released from “prison” from the strict enforcement authorities and laws - imagine they need a law to ban chewing bubble gums just to control littering and defacing of public properties.

For all its socio-economic and academic successes, Sinpaore has also failed miserably in inculcating civility.

POLICE arrested a 40-year-old Singaporean man after he was involved in a road rage incident and alleged vandalism against another car around Tun Aminah, Skudai on Saturday.

Johor Bahru Utara (North) police chief ACP Balveer Singh Mahindar Singh said after a 31-year-old local man lodged a report about the incident at 3.01pm, a team from the Criminal Investigation Division of the Johor Bahru Utara police headquarters (IPD) arrested the suspect at about 6.20 pm yesterday (June 8) and made several seizures.

“The complainant stated that while driving his BMW at 2.39pm in the Tun Aminah area, he was honked at by a Toyota Altis with a Singapore registration number, whose driver was dissatisfied because his path was blocked. An argument ensued and the suspect allegedly kicked the complainant’s car, causing damage. However, the complainant did not suffer any injuries,” he said in a statement reported by Bernama.

Balveer Singh said the suspect had no previous criminal record and tested negative for drugs.

He said the suspect would be brought to the Johor Bahru Court tomorrow (June 9) for a remand application for the case to be investigated under Section 426 of the Penal Code (for mischief and damage of property) and Section 509 of the Penal Code (utterance of insult).

Police said anyone with information related to the case can contact the Johor Bahru Utara IPD at 07-5563122. Earlier, police detected a viral video on Facebook showing two men arguing on a public road. – June 9, 2025
