An "ugly" place?

If you have read some recent articles in the papers describing Singaporeans as an "ugly batch", (paying for one serving of drinks but topping up 4 full bottles, eating unpaid fruits at supermarket) you would note that such behaviours are rather commonly exhibited in our society unfortunately.

One way to stop this "disease" from spreading is to start educating our little ones from a young age. It is only through proper education and reinforcement that our society may hope to see more grace in the near future. This would create a more pleasant and cultured environment for our next generation. As parents, we have an important task to groom our little ones. Together we can make this a better place !
