Singapore attitudes towards work

Timely reminder of our attitudes? From AsiaOne.

"But it's the unintended consequence of the fantastic economic success which we have enjoyed. In our headlong rush for more money, a lot of values seem to have been lost.

The ability to communicate with anybody else is less evident, and people now, generally, want to interact only with people of their own perceived social group.

So we're now a more stratified and polarised society, which is why you hear people longing for the return of the kampung spirit."

I always hear this refrain from a colleague of mine every new year - "Less work, more money!" - but we still work as hard as we did before.
