Incident for thought (3)

Update : decided to change the title to "Incident for thought", or else people will be wondering what kind of people Singaporeans are if I keep coming up with posts about Ugly Singaporeans. I'm, after all, a Singaporean as well.

Time : 7:35 p.m. to 8 :10 p.m.
Day : Tuesday (24th Feb 2009)
Venue : MacDonald's, Suntec City

There was a couple who was already seated at the place on my left when I got there. They soon left and immediately this other couple came over and took the seat, because of the two power points at the side so they were able to use their laptops.

Anyway, while the guy went to get the food, the long-haired girl, wearing a sleeveless black and white sports top with shorts, and wearing spectacles, which I'm guessing is not any older than 26, was left alone to set up the laptops and most likely to clear whatever the previous couple had left behind, which I later saw, was just an empty paper cup.

So, instead of taking that empty paper cup to the dustbin, this girl took the cup, went over to the table where the Filipino couple had just vacated, and put the empty cup there. The best thing was, the Filipino couple had just got up from their seats and the guy was still collecting his bag, when this girl just walked over, put the cup at the place and walked off. Even though the guy exclaimed quite loudly, "Why did she put her empty cup here?" The girl didn't even so much as looked back and apologised, or even have the decency to look a wee bit embarrassed. She just went back to set up her laptops as if nothing happened.

What in the world are Singaporeans turning into? This is a young girl I'm talking about here... the generation that will most likely be working, or are already working in our society. What are we showing to these foreigners/tourists/expats with such behaviour? What happened to those Civics and Moral Education lessons we used to have in school?
