Chapter 267: Clean Streets
Although Singapore is small in size but pregnant with rich cultural history and culture, here you can see the beauty of nature and the beauty of modern science and technology combined, Xiao Zhao took Zhou Sen to stroll through the streets of Singapore, I have to admit that Singapore's urban greening is very good, you can see green plants on the street, all kinds of modern skyscrapers, commercial office buildings, has become a modern commercial symbol.
Zhou Sen has long heard that Singapore is known as one of the "Four Asian Tigers" and its economic development is very good.
Zhou Sen asked Xiao Zhao, "Why do Singaporeans maintain good hygiene, do not jaywalk, and do not spit?"
Xiao Zhao said: "There are many reasons for this, one is that Singapore has a good education, the quality of the people is also high, and they consciously develop good habits. ”
"The second is because Singapore has strict laws, I will especially remind those friends who come to Singapore to pay attention to abide by Singapore laws, Singapore's punishment system is very strong, if you are not careful, you will be fined, strictly keep the environment around you, don't spit, you can't litter the food scraps you have eaten, you can't throw them there like in China after eating in a fast food restaurant and wait for others to clean up, you should put them on the plate and throw them in the trash. ”
"In Singapore, there are severe penalties for breaking the law, and Singapore is trying to become a smoke-free country, and smoking in public places where smoking is prohibited will be fined. ”
"Littering will be fined for first-time offenders and increased for repeat offenders, and the sale of chewing gum is banned in Singapore, and many people casually throw away chewed gum, which pollutes the environment, and it is time-consuming and laborious for the hard cleaners to remove it. ”
"Smoking, eating, spitting, and littering are prohibited when riding the subway or public vehicles, and offenders will be fined. ”
"The penalty for spitting is also very high, and there are many specific regulations, it is not allowed to spit directly in the trash, it is necessary to spit on paper, wrap it and then throw it away, and press the warning bell or emergency brake brake of the subway indiscriminately, and you will also be subject to a high fine.
"If you don't flush the toilet, you will be fined, you will be fined for jaywalking, you will be fined for pressing the fire alarm, and many laws and regulations, if you don't follow them, you will be fined until you are convinced. ”
"Beautiful, orderly, safe and comfortable, the Lion City of Singapore is a country that many people aspire to and a clean and tidy environment to work together. ”
Zhou Sen smiled, "Singapore is very strict, this is worth learning, no wonder their environment is maintained so well, related to their strict punishment, such an experience is still worth learning, in contrast, we Chinese, there are still some people with low quality, unconsciously, running red lights, spitting, littering, this bad habit is always laughed at by people in other countries." ”
Xiao Zhao also smiled, "Yes, China is too big, some well-educated people can consciously abide by the law and various rules and regulations, and some of them have a low level of education, plus a bad family education, low quality, from the countryside, people with no culture, sprinkle denial, do not obey traffic laws, are punished, and are cheeky to cheat." ”
"This phenomenon is common, but the legal management and various supervision have been strengthened, there are traffic police at intersections, the phenomenon of jaywalking is much better, most people can abide by traffic laws, only a small number of people will be punished if they do not comply. ”
"The degree of civilization of a country, you can also see some microcosms from the road, Singapore is strict, after a long time, the people will consciously abide by the laws and regulations, people always need to be restrained, people are very complicated, there are good people, there are bad people, the law is used to restrain and manage those bad people. ”
"I grew up in Singapore, I have developed a habit, consciously abide by laws and regulations, this is a basic obligation for a citizen to do, I have also received higher education, the quality is also high, no strict requirements, I will consciously abide by the rules and regulations, people are used to this environment, after a long time, it will become your natural behavior. ”
"When I go to the mainland, I also pay attention to obeying traffic laws, not only for personal hygiene, but also for the sanitation workers who sweep the roads, and once I went to be a volunteer to clean a street. ”
"Although there are fully automatic sweepers, the driver only needs to drive, but in some places, the degree of modernization is not so high, or rely on manual broom to clean, then it is more hard, I am a volunteer, a person is responsible for a long street, when the weather is cold, in the cold wind, the wind blows, it is really very cold, but also to take the broom, little by little along the street sweep over. ”
"From time to time, there are pedestrians coming over, but also to get out of the way, let pedestrians pass, before they can continue to sweep, experience the work of sanitation workers, only to feel that sanitation workers are really very hard!"
"So after the experience, whether I was studying in China or when I returned to Singapore, I consciously obeyed the law, cared for the environment, and did not increase the burden of work for sanitation workers!"
"I think it's especially important for young people to learn to empathize!"
Zhou Sen nodded, for Xiao Zhao, his impression is very good, this young man can speak well, eloquence is very good, cheerful, very good at taking care of people, Zhou Sen came to Singapore, these days, Xiao Zhao received very well, he and Xiao Yang are classmates again, and they know each other.
Xiao Yang was relatively shy and did not mention Xiao Zhao to Zhou Sen, but Xiao Zhao often mentioned in front of Zhou Sen that his classmate Xiao Yang when he went to study in China, although both of them are Chinese Chinese, they have settled in different countries, have different conversation and living habits, and have different personalities.
gave Zhou Sen's impression that Xiao Yang is sincere to people, unpretentious, and relatively kind and simple, when he goes to Xiao Yang's house, Uncle Yang is also like this, very simple, he can't say anything, he likes to use practical actions to be good to people, rest assured and reliable.
Xiao Zhao's dress is more fashionable than Xiao Yang's family, and it can be seen that Singapore's culture and ideas are also reflected in the concepts and thoughts of young people who are different from Xiao Yang.
Xiao Zhao wears casual and comfortable, sneakers are Nike, occasionally can wear some famous brands, mid-range prices, it can be seen that Xiao Zhao's family is good, and Xiao Yang is more simple, not too particular about dressing, not too particular about famous brands, Xiao Yang's family chose to settle in Cambodia, not very particular about material conditions, economically backward, they feel that the local people are simple and kind, easy to get along with, so they stay in Cambodia.
Xiao Zhao's family felt that Singapore's economy was better, and they did not want to live in a country where Cambodia's economy was too backward, so they chose to stay in Singapore to work and live.
Although they are both overseas Chinese, but the ideas are different, the choices are not the same, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Yang are both students of Dean Zhang, the two are classmates, they are very good to each other, Xiao Zhao is more outgoing, humorous and funny, very good at interacting with people, although only a few days, Zhou Sen has felt a different character from the two of them, a person stays in a country and region for a long time, will be influenced by the history and culture of this country, and subtly affect a person's words and deeds.
Xiao Zhao dresses cleanly, pays attention to personal hygiene, carries clean tissues everywhere he goes, and often washes his hair, even when the wind blows, his hair is messy, he will subconsciously stretch out his head to quickly smooth it, leaving a very good impression on Zhou Sen.
