Singapore Kindness Movement

 

Remember this fellow?

He is back with the kick off of the Singapore Kindness Movement with the aim of  encouraging Singaporeans to make a positive commitment to gracious living through simple acts of kindness in their daily activities. In a bid to be more a more gracious society.

Yes yet another loathsome public campaign to better ourselves. Singapore is well know for it campaigns, no spitting lah, no littering lah, save water lah, have just 2 babies in the 80s to now have more babies lah, speak better English..oopps. In a sense these campaigns have sort of transcended from being about basic human cleanliness to campaigns driven toward Nation building. But now with this campaign well I must say it is a little step backward and shows how little we have learnt.

I am sure having another courtesy campaign would be an admission of failure so we have this Kindness movement, from which the tenets are the same as the 80s courtesy campaign. But serious do we really need this? I think Singaporeans are decent people, of course we are not perfect but….that should not be the aim ya!
