Singapore standards : Are they deteriorating?

I came across two unbelievable news while I was surfing the internet, and I will tell you about it one by one.
The first one came about on Saturday, where volunteers of the YOG complained that they were given improper food to consume when they were helping out at the YOG. Personally, I feel that the organisers should at least give the volunteers proper food to eat, as they are helping out, sacrificing their time to help out in the community, in preparation for the YOG. Certainly, the person who complained took a picture of the food and then uploaded it to facebook, where people started to comment and criticize the food that was given out and then it started to spread like a contagious virus before it became news. But, I have support on both sides. The person who complained should not have made such a small matter into such a big matter, as this food incident is only a small matter, not a really huge one. One NS man that was helping out in the YOG also commented that 'the food they served was cold, but the food was nice and filled us nonetheless'. The person who complained really made matters more complicated when he could just have sent an email on wrote a complain letter to the person in charge so as to keep the matters confidential. Really, one spark started it all.
But, the volunteers at the YOG also should have been given some proper, decent food to eat. They cannot be treated so lowly while the foreigners are actually treated way better than we locals. What would happen to the image on Singapore if foreigners found out about what Singapore has done to its locals, not giving them the proper respect? They would think Singapore is a lowly country and does not deserve to be stayed in. Everyone should receive a mutual amount of respect from anyone, whoever it may be.

The second piece of news that I am going to share with you is about the scamming incidents that are increasing in number in Singapore. Recently, some hawkers at Boon Lay have been conned of a few fake $50 notes that were paid to them when they were doing business. The hawkers did not realise that they were fake $50, and took them for real ones, and in the end they got scammed of around $300 each. Why is this happening in Singapore? Singapore claims to have great national security, yet they cant prevent a scam like this from happening? The hawkers should also take some time to examine the money they are given carefully before accepting them, as when they accept them and realise they are fake, it would be too late to return it to the con man as he may already have gone or can claim that that note isnt his. We Singaporeans should be more vigilant in what we do and not fall for these anymore. How would you feel if you got scammed of more than $300? You feel stupid, as you fell for it, and hoping you can turn back time. But you cant but the toothpaste back into the tube, no point crying over split milk.
