Jackie also said Singaporeans have no Self-respect

Ooops, Jackie Chan did it again! I didn't realize that in the same speech about Chinese needing to be controlled he also mentioned some bad things about Singapore. I read it from the Newpaper on Saturday but did not have to time to blog about it.

For those who have not read the news, here is the news from Asiaone:
Jackie Chan: Singaporeans have no self-respect

Action star Jackie Chan did not only offend the Chinese living in Hong Kong and Taiwan, his "speech of freedom" that drew widespread ire recently also spoke badly about Singaporeans.

He had apparently said that Singaporeans have no sense of self-respect.

Chan, who spoke last Saturday at the Boao Forum for Asia, said that the Chinese have to be controlled or society would be "chaotic" like that of Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Local Chinese evening daily Shin Min Daily News reported that in the action star's speech, Singaporeans too, were not spared.

During the forum's question and answer session, Chan said in his reply to a question from the media, "When I go to Singapore, I realize that chewing gum is not allowed there. Why is this so?

"I found out later that if (Singaporeans) chew gum, they will dispose of the used gum on tabletops, on chairs, and (they) have no sense of self-respect."

According to the Shin Min report, he also pointed out that unlike the Americans and the Japanese, "they" do not have that sense of self-respect. And when this is lacking, the government will have to step in.

Wha, this Jackie Chan is a funny man, anyhow talk cock. This is what happens when someone has too much money. They just say whatever they want without thinking. I agree that Singaporeans do dispose the used gum in tabletops, chairs, on dustbins, benches etc etc in the past (not me though =P), but isn't it the same with other countries? Just watch your American tv shows and you will see how they stick their gums under the table, sofa, on trees, people's hair ... you watch soccer matches on tv also can see the managers spitting the gum on the floor.

If you want a video of the former president of the United States George Bush spitting I have one ... here you go


You can watch the whole video if you miss him, but for spitting action, go to 2:00. Not sure its spitting gum or other disgusting stuff, but a spit is a spit =)

If you continue reading the whole article at Asiaone's website, you will realise that he also mentioned that when you are caught littering in Singapore, you will be jailed straight away. Wahahah that's so funny and it proves my point in the previous Jackie Chan post that you can't judge a country without staying there for a few years at least. Listening to others or watching TV may not be the right source of info. I thought if I get caught littering I only get a fine and maybe do community work order? Last time at least first offence got chance, can go watch some brainwash video about littering than go home (my fren kenna lol). If really go jail i think Changi Prison will be overloaded with prisoners. But anyway the fine is already a harsh punishment as compared to other countries, but that's a different story which have been made fun of by foreigners and even us with the "Singapore is a Fine City" T-shirts for many many years.

Jackie Chan has too much money and have nothing better to do than complain about others. Good luck sucking up to the Americans, hope you have a new Hollywood movie where they pay you millions again.
