'German TV show mocks Singaporean practices' by KaiYan
I disagree with this article. This article is about a German television program that had made fun of Singaporeans’ behavior. It says that Singaporeans are strange human beings that enjoy getting their temperature checked. I do not find it strange as it is a safety measure to prevent the spread of fever to others. Singaporeans are being considerate and not strange as they are willing to check their temperature before entering the building.
The possession of chewing gum is forbidden all over Singapore, this is a waste prevention measure. It is a successful measure as Singapore is considered one of the cleanest cities in the world. So I don’t think by forbidding chewing gum is futile. Instead, I think it is very reasonable.
People in different countries have different beliefs and hobbies. We should respect it even if it sounded strange to us. This television program is making fun of some of the Singaporeans whom believed that songbirds bring luck to its owners. Songbirds are very expensive and so are the cages. They think that Singaporeans are strange to buy it at such an expensive price.
I believe that every country do have people that believe in the existence of spirits, including Germany. I don’t think that they should make fun of the Singaporeans that believe in it. I don’t think that this television program should be broadcasted in Germany as it would mislead the people who have watched it.
