Singapore is often joked as a ‘kiasu’ country, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing!
For starters, their level of education is on a completely different level compared to Malaysia’s! Just like Ash Ketchum from Pokémon, they want to be the very best…

Tough isn’t it? Who would have thought this was the answer?!
This is solid proof as to why Singaporeans are so kiasu. Only in primary one but already being tested with such difficult equations. Aiyo…
