of foreigners in singapore set up facebook group called "singapore sucks"

Foreigners in S'pore set up Facebook group called "Singapore Sucks": STOMPer Charmaine is angered by foreigners in Singapore who had set up a group on Facebook to ridicule the nation, saying that it has been forced into workaholism by its strict governance, among many things.



The Facebook group says,

The best government is one that governs least" is the kind of quote that puts a frown on the faces of Singaporean lawmakers. While Singapore has enjoyed stable economic growth for decades now, its people and culture have not progressed forward. Prolonged periods of tight government control on all aspects of life have created an atmosphere of workaholism because there is simply nothing else to do. The purposes of this group are to raise awareness for people from everywhere in the world about the current state of Singapore and for members to vent their frustration.

It is believed among many forward-thinking Singaporeans that their control-freak government has hindered creativity and cultural progress. For that Singapore needs a liberal government... and for that to happen Singaporeans have to change and have to start asking for a change.

It goes on to put up a disclaimer which says

This group exists to critique the policies of Singapore's government, especially the PAP, and to spread awareness of the plight of Singaporeans. It does not intend to attack the citizens of Singapore, and any aspects of the group that could be construed as threatening, such as the group picture, are strictly tongue-in-cheek.
