What are the unofficial marks of SG citizenship
As we come closer to National day, i was thinking about - what makes someone a real singaporean?
Not about whether a person you met has official sg citizenship, more of if someone you met has gone through certain events or done a bunch of certain things - that screams - eh sia la you are one of us ( even if he/she doesnt have a singaporean accent or the look like a typical Sgean).
Couple that i have thought of:
\- gone through BTO process and failed at least a few times
\- for guys- gone through NS - pes A to E or even chao keng pes F, for girls waited for boyfriends to book out or sent boyfriend to camp every weekend to book in, or broke up with them midway
\- you been called an ah beng/ ah lian/ matrep/minah/ whats the indian version called sorry, basically sg redneck - maybe cause you look or act like one at some point in your life.
\- you called everyone auntie or uncle even if they are 20 or 70. conversely, you been called one too even when you think you are too young to be called auntie uncle.
\- you know at least 1 swearword per official language, and a few in chinese dialects.
\- you complained about the governement, even if you vote white or blue.
What others would you qualify?
