[Puteh]

Who, outside of Singaporeans, use this term?

[Billyone]

what is there is like or not

we cant stop people calling us anything except MM who can sue them until pants drop

 

sometimes i think we deserved to be called sinkies

because we are supposed to be the people that the government should be taking care of and

NOT the other way round

 

name callings are here to stay

heartlanders - do we like it - no choice

No lah, no one in particular. Just wanted to know how people feel when people call Singaporeans "sinkies".

Maybe. How do you feel about it?

Maybe. How do you feel about it?

 

If a fellow Singaporean (especially a fully-fledged born in Sg type who's not "quit" yet) uses it in a heartfelt lament, I feel just fine about it. Because he's entitled to.

[Amx57]

how about being termed as "Stinkaporean" or "Sillyporean"?

Yeah, I am okay with that too......but not when non-Singaporeans use this term to describe us
