This post does not look to criticize the Singaporean Culture. It is just an analysis of the culture and lifestyle. It does not serve as deteriorating to Singapore.

5Cs – Singapore

- Cash
- Car
- Credit Card
- Condominium
- Country Club

All the 5Cs demand monetary prowess in order to obtain (boast) the possession of any of the 5Cs


Singapore Dream

- 5Cs

The Singapore Dream mainly pertains to obtaining the 5Cs.
Through jobs, work, education.
The Singapore Dream also consists of starting an ideal family.


Singapore Plan

- School
- Job
- Family
- 5Cs

1. Start off in a good kindergarten
2. Then into a renowned Primary School, scoring “Band 1s” for all subjects
3. Obtain a mind-blowing 260+ score for PSLE
4. Get into top secondary schools
5. Followed by JC
6. Next comes University
7. Maters Degree follows right after
8. Look for a high paying, demanding job
9. Earn money
10. Get married
11. Attain 5Cs

What it looks like:
born - study – study – study –study – study – study – work – work – die


Alternative 5Cs?

- Care
- Concern
- Compassion
- Courtesy
- Courage

These 5Cs focus mainly at morals. Imagine, when you were young,

Adult: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
Child: “A pilot, a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman!”
Adult: “Good boy/girl. Must study hard ah”

This shows that the Singapore Plan is already embodied in us when we were little wee tots. This would be a stark contrast, and a jarring shock,

Adult: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
Child: “Caring, courteous, a better person.”
Adult: “WTF are you talking about?!” *slaps*

Now that amazing vision of the child would be frowned upon, despite in the back of our minds, that would be so totally be OK.
