But are such accusations and statements warranted or justified? When RazorTV asked Singaporeans, many felt that cultural differences were the cause while some blamed the animosity Singaporeans and China nationals have towards each other. However, some foreigners were not surprised by the results of the poll on the Chinese blog "Lion City Life" where Singaporeans garnered the most votes for being the "most disgusting and irritating". They felt that Singaporeans were not the friendliest towards foreigners, especially those from mainland China and can be rude on buses and trains.
