Are Singaporeans gracious and socially responsible?

Singapore is a small country and people often wonder how we behave.Are we gracious ? Are we socially responsible? There is no right answer for this question as our youngsters are not really gracious even though their hearts are in the right place. There are many views on this but lets take a look from a Singaporeans point of view.

The first point is the Tsunami of 2004.When the wave hit neighbouring countries they were almost completely crushed . Millions lost their lives . Once the devastation was over the victims of the waves needed time and support to help them recover.Singapore was one of the country that was gracious enough to lend a helping hand . This prove that our government is gracious.

The people are a completely different story.But proof that we are gracious and socially responsible are actually quite common on our public transport .All of Singapore's public transport have seats that are designated for the elderly ,disabled or preagnent.While some choose to ignore the rules , there are in fact a lot of us who let the elderly sit .Most of us give up our seats .This is yet again another point that we are gracious and socially responsibl
