We may be neighbours, but the service standards of staff in Singapore and Malaysia are worlds apart — or at least, that's what this Chinese tourist has claimed. Content creator Teacher Gogo singled out Singaporean-Chinese service staff in particular for their less-than-friendly attitude, after most of them left him with a bad impression.
We may be neighbours, but the service standards of staff in Singapore and Malaysia are worlds apart — or at least, that's what this Chinese tourist has claimed.
"I feel like my past few days exploring Singapore as a tourist has made me … think that most Singaporean-Chinese don't have good attitudes towards service," Gogo ventured. "There are many explanations… but you'll need to become a hawker and understand their pain," a user commented."Singaporeans have too much stress. In order to make a living they work hard, and when they see a tourist having fun, they feel ill at ease," one joked.
He also tested a netizen's theory that service staff may respond more politely if one spoke to them in English instead.
