Hey peeps,i am sure we as a Malaysian know what is the meaning of Kiasu(afraid of losing or behind of others) specially when we mentioned about Singaporean. Recently, i have been thinking is studying or burning the midnight oil before the exams is a sign of KIASU?
First, i think putting extra hardwork or studying thoroughly before exam is not a KIASU attitude. In fact, is a self-determination of a person achieving his/her own goal. Actually, Singapore had gone far ahead of us in this economy system. How come? Is because of the people in Singapore always want to be first? I don't think so. Is more like the goverment will do all their best in building the people inwardly and outwardly. From what I observed, 90% of singapore movies have a moral or education value inside.
In short, a positive KIASU spirit is good, but most of the time, people might misuse this attitude at a wrong PLACE and wrong TIME, even worse wrong DECISION. For example, when one knows that is a pointless argument, yet they still want to argue until they win. These Kiasu people also likes to be a zebra (quoted from a Pastor),being black and white character at a same time. They are not secure which side to choose. One more thing about this KIASU spirit is they always boastful infront of others.
If you think you are this negative side of Kiasu, well better change now before it is too late. Alright, getting sleep. All the best for you to change become better.
