S1E13: Why does it feel like Singaporeans are angry all the time?
Manage episode 434384178 series 2347149
What triggers one’s frustrations in Singapore? Even the smallest inconvenience can spark irritation, making it feel like we’re always on the edge of our temper.
Synopsis: The Usual Place host Natasha Ann Zachariah explores contemporary societal choices and youth perspectives.
Murals and HDB block patterns, poor service, bad food, long queues, queue cutters, ‘undeserving’ seat occupiers on public transport, slow walkers, ‘pawrents’ spending money on their furkids, XMMs — the list of what grinds Singaporeans’ gears seems to grow by the day.
Throw in social media platforms into the mix, and the rants come fast and furious.
There's an appetite for it - just look at the existence of Singapore-centric complaint groups online and the number of members they have. Or the TikTok videos that pop up, where people rant about a perceived slight or minor irritation. Or the people who have been caught in 4K acting out on the roads, in malls or restaurants.
We could go on.
Natasha goes outdoors to find out if people share this sentiment and what we can do should we encounter the Angry Person.
