Maple’s Special – 16
In my mind, it is always alerted that China Chinese will spit anywhere. So I am always careful with my steps to avoid those “lucky stickers”.
But today, inside the bus, inevitable, a man spit in front of me. Just right between his seat and the place I am standing.
It’s really so YUKKZZZZZZZ!
Though this is not the first time I see people spitting, it’s the first time people spit in such a close distance with me. That’s why I’m intolerable.
I have to admit that China people have the awe-inspiring parts, but sometimes I really agree that some of the people here are inconsiderate.
Beside anyhow spit, China people smoke unconsciously. Even the Non-Smoking Sign is obviously hanging there, the smokers still boldly take out their lighters and smoke openly. They don’t feel bad when people surrounding are coughing like mad, including babies. They won’t stop even though the policeman passes by.
If the same situation occurs in Singapore, I guess no smoker dares to do so or else the smoker has already been fined, S$500 or above.
So what makes Singapore and China so different? Most probably, the way the law is enforced.
In Singapore, the people are trained to abide law accordingly. Maybe because Singapore is small, easier to handle, hence law is easier to enforce. Maybe because Singapore police teams have high efficiency in spotting people who break laws, hence nobody dares to do illegal stuff. If you spit, 10minutes later you may end up in the police station.
But in China, situation is totally different. It’s a huge country and hence not every single law can be conducted well. Corruption occurs everywhere and thus it is very hard for people to abide the law. That’s the reason why people can spit, smoke accordingly.
For this portion, I guess we should really give Singapore a loud applause, for its ability to maintain its country in such a clean state.
Although living standard in Singapore is high, it’s worthy, to have all the protection and cleanliness.
