With affluence, more young Singaporeans are being fretted upon by their parents and caregivers (e.g. grandparents and domestic helpers). Independence and survival instincts have diminished.

Singapore kids are always complaining about their lives when they are actually very fortunate to have everything they need

The parents of our generation are mostly rich , as like my friends in school , they are all spoon fed with help by their parents , grandparents and / or domestic helpers. If they need or wants anything , they just have to ask their domestic helpers , parents or anyone to help them complete the task . If the children wants anything , the parents will spoil their kids with toys and all kinds of materialistic things to satisfy the child.

Our parents buy MacBook Pro ($2205) for our school use but we want more than just that. I really think that we should help our parents to save more money so we can live a better life than usual. I hope that people would improve their behaviour towards our loved ones and help to save more money.

Singporean kids are too spoilt as they always depend on their parents for EVERYTHING. They also need maids just to tie their shoelaces!!! and sometimes they need maids to wear their clothes for them, shower them etc. Therefore SINGAPOREANS ARE SPOILT

Because of the fact that Singapore is an affluent country, we have taken things for granted. Also, since most of our parents have worked hard and achieved success in their businesses, we were born with a silver spoon in our mouth and thus have no lack of anything. Most of us also probably have maid to help us with the things that we are supposed to do, like household chores etc.

Children these days have been counting on their domestic helpers or parents to do the chores and have become lazy.

Many young singaporeans are spoilt as they receive many gifts and technology such as iphone,ipad,ipod and the number of people living in private housing are increasing.

I can agree that the new generations of Singaporeans are spoilt. As I walk past roads and buildings, MAJORITY of Singaporeans I see are only playing their iPhone games or their Android phones. only a small fraction of maybe 5% do not have a smartphone. Many times, in restaurants, I also see children as young as a few months old, playing iPhone games only. I also think that these young parents should also instill the habit of putting the phone down during mealtimes unless it is an emergency issue. Therefore, I can conclude that Singaporeans ARE spoilt compared to the outside world where poor people who cannot even afford food live.

Yes, I think most of us are very spoiled. Our parents spend a lot of money on us and we take it for granted.

Because they are pampered from young and they are soft blah blah blah

We singaporeans are very spoilt because whatever we want we most likely get

Children nowadays have their maids do all of their chores and get extremely large amounts of pocket money daily. They also get EVERYTHiNG they want when they ask for it .

Yes! Kids everywhere are always whining and pestering they're parents so much so that the parents are forced to agree or tolerate the consistent pestering!

Parents nowadays always pamper their children and give them what they want.

They are too dependent on their parents and domestic helpers for life resources.

We always ask our parents to buy us things and whine if we don't get them...

They are very dependent on parents and domestic helpers to do chores.

Kids lose their independence when they rely on their domestic helper too much. What would happen if the domestic helper had to go home and help their own family? Parents also should not give anything the child wants, he should learn the hard way and earn his rewards.

Most of us have domestic helpers who we depend on for most things.They like spoon feed us.And parents nowadays are quite rich and can buy expensive things for us.Like,iPhones,iPads and iPods.And most of us complain to our parents when we don't like something.

As the nation becomes more affluent, more people would be affluent.People would be taking things in their life for granted. For example, many people want freedom but are not ready to take responsibility for their actions making their parents/guardians responsible for them. Therefore, we agree that the newer generations of Singaporeans are spoilt.

When people are spoilt, they are not independent and always depend on their maids, parents, grandparents ect. It is extremely harmful to young children as they have their whole lives ahead of them and if they are always pampered they would not be able to cope with the outside world when they are adults.

Because nowadays,children are being pampered by their parents,grandparents and other closely related people.The rate of Singaporean children wearing spectacles have increased,showing that most children stay indoors and play computer games

we always buy things but always whine and cry if we don't...

Parents give us handphone to make calls and message but some people use it to play game instead

Singaporeans are more self-centred and rely more on their maids and mums

I feel that more and more kids have helpers now a days, thus, they are unable to help themselves to their own things and always want to rely on their parents and maids.

i feel that Singaporeans are spoiled brats, no offense but look at us, we wake early in the morning, waiting for our maid or grandparents or even our parents for breakfast, so if our parents are not in town, we wont go to school, nonsense, we are really spoiled

look at the amount of people that have a car, about 80% of singaporeans have a car, it is not only showing that singapore are spoiled, it is also showing that they are a show off

Look at the facts! We are TOO USED to cleaners that we do not even know how to clean your own rubbish and trash. My brother is a living example! I honestly thing that independence courses should be undergone in schools as to prevent people from relying too much on others in the future. That is why, I SAY THAT WE SINGAPOREANS ARE SPOILT IN MOST WAYS! SUCK ON THAT! I rest my case.

Well most of them cause young kids of age 3-4 years old and onwards,have smart phones like the iPhone and android phones.But i think that parents of spoilt children should discipline them to make them less spoilt.

Singaporean kids are always demanding from their parents, they want this and that. On average, parents spent over $9000 on what their kids just based on what they want. Kids are always very moody, and find a reason against their good causes. When the parents just give in to them, it will affect their attitude in the future, where they expect everyone to give in to them.

all kids are spoilt as 70% of the kids nowofdays use iphone when they are like 7 years old, but in our time, i got my 1st phone when i was like p6. The phone was NOKIA. i thought that NOKIA was good but when i saw kids at the age of 7 PLAYING IPHONE AND PLAYING GAMEBOY, IPOD, PS3, NINTENDO. WHEN I WAS 7 i was playing PINBALL, AND I THOUGHT PINBALL WAS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!

As they are too dependent of the parents thus when they want to try something new, they will ask their parents to do it instead of themselves. Therefore, I must agree that Young Singaporeans are spolit

Yes, Young Singaporeans are spoilt as most have iPhones and for example , when it gets confiscated, they get cranky and annoyed. Young Singaporeans also are doted on and get almost everything they want just by crying or begging. This will make them think that they can get anything in life and that life is easy for them. (-_//)

Face it. People of this whole new advanced generation are just too... stupid to realize how spoilt we are. We take everything for granted. Especially during teenage years, where we don't care about our parents. Many bad things happen to us. We throw tantrums and sometimes even go into rehab at such a young age. Most of the times, it scars our life and spoil not us, but our lives. ENTIRE lives. So we.. are.. SPOILT AND I KOW IT!

The young Singaporeans are spoiled.the article I read about carrying the bags, why do you need to come with lame excuses like:

"I am very tired" or "I don't want to do it"

Just think about what will happen in the future! If they were adults, their domestic helpers would probably have to carry their computer bags and stuff. lets just hope this does not happen in the future.

Young Singaporeans nowadays would grow to be more greedy as their parents earn more money and because parents do not discipline their children well, they become spoilt and dependent on others for their own survival

We are spoilt as nowadays, our life is much easier then it was then. For example, nowadays most of us have expensive electronic devices. Such as the iPhone, iPad and the iPod. For example, in the olden days, it was a luxury to own a television. If the neighbors knew that you owned a television, there would be 50 odd people knocking on the door wanting to watch a half an hour episode of television. Nowadays, kids like us enjoy the good life, we are "spoon fed" by our teachers who enlighten us with the knowledge to do well in the exams, while back in our parent's day, they had to visit the library and put in a great amount of effort to do well in the exams. Thus, nowadays, we are spoilt.

I think that people are spoilt as they get what they want often and they force their parents to spend their money on it.These stuff might be worthless and paying too much of them will waste their parents money so I agree that young Singaporeans are spoilt>

yes we are as we are to reliant on technology such as the iPhone,iPad,etc.so we are unable to cope with any difficult situation without the use of technolgy

There is a spirit of pride and nonchalant in our GenY. So, this is a spoilt generation!

Young Singaporeans are spoilt because they are exposed to an unlimited amount of Shit and nonsense on the internet, as well as outside this happens because parents may be rich but they are week and are not able to discipline their children. The children become stubborn and rude and hot tempered if they are not given what they want.

Parents are pampering their children too much. They shuttle us everywhere in expensive cars instead of taking us in public transport. And most all of us have smart-phones nowadays where in the past children our age only had mobile phones when they were adults.

we get all types of things our parents did not have like  and our parents give in to us all the time. щ(ಠ益ಠщ)

For example, my brother is very spoilt. He demands me to do all sorts of things like doing his homework or cleaning up after him. Other instances of spoilt children can be seen in toy stores. I see them whining for a new toy or game, and pulling their mother's legs away from the exit. If they do not get what they want, they start pouting. In conclusion, I can safely say that there are some spoilt Singaporean children.

Singaporean Kids are really spoilt as their grandparents like to buy them toys. They are also fretted upon by their parents who hire domestic helpers.

Most rich kids are spoilt as they have the money to buy anything they want.

WE are spoiled becos we are pampered too much by our parents n we r not grateful wif wad we have

We are more lucky than kids in the poor countries, we tend to take things that we have for granted and we ask for more. Our parents will allow us to buy what we want.

well, i think that singaporean are spoilt. Singaporeans are fortunate that they have money unlike poor countries. i myself play ps3 and after playng alot, my mother told me a sad story.

children nowadays are showered with gifts and are spoilt.despite the great environment they live in,they complain about education, food, or anything else. what children have today are 10 times better than others in other poorer countries.

When one ask for something, the pitiful parents will always give into whatever they want for the sake of pleasing them, especially with parents with single children.

I do somewhat agree that young Singaporeans are kinda spoilt. Young Singaporeans has maids to help them in washing clothes, make food, ect. i'm sure that if we were asked to survive a few days on our own, we wont make it. We need to develop more independence...

a large number of children nowadays have domestic helpers but the main problem is that their domestic helpers do so much for them,cook pack bags, carry bags and so on, but there are children that dont give respect to them

to be honest, we are spoilt. for example, many singaporeans are spoilt and some of them agreed that they are spoilt.

Singaporeans have maids. they ask them to do all the dirty works. i personally think that they should do the chores and give the maids some break. In addition, these actions make most of us who have maids spoilt. and also, the rich people are spoilt. They spent their money on unnecessary things.

We often rely on other people to help us do things and complain at the slightest problem or mistake that someone makes

With singaporean parents being more educated and having full-time, high-paying jobs, their kids usually stay at home with their maids and they become spoilt as they are not independent and are too used to ordering their maids around.

We always `ask `parents` for toys but if we dont get it, we throw tantrums. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ

Most singaporean kids have maids since young and even need them to carry their army bag....

Nowadays Singaporeans Kids Are Too dependent on parents..

Cant do anything without them

Yes SINGAPOREAN ( and not me ) young people are spoilt. They want anything that they see from their parents . ANd if they don't have it , they will cry for it . Which is really stupid -,- .
