SG50 National day special: 8 Beautiful Singapore stories that made me smile Part 2

Last year, I blogged about a collection of positive Singapore stories as part of national day celebration for Singapore 49th birthday.

This year, I decided to make a compilation of the beautiful stories that I can recollect over the year. My mood is immediately uplifted as we celebrate our 50th Anniversary with a special public holiday that stretch our long weekend to a total of 4 days (Rejoice!)

1) Singaporeans heroes defending our local children 

Super heros exist not only in Marvel comics, but in Singapore too. Our hero that defended us Singaporeans from external forces - It does not matter that the opponent is bigger sized than him, Elfy stood up against a caucasian man verbally abusing one of our own in the MRT. You are the man Elfy!

3) Singaporeans that do not condone fraudulent behaviours

Remember the Vietnamese tourist who got cheated at Sim Lim? I thought it was pretty sweet that we crowdfunded more than US$10,000, and even made sure the scammer got what he deserves. I feel even safer in Singapore now.

7) Singaporeans that turns a shitty day around

The biggest MRT breakdown in Singapore's history saw 2 major lines out of power while Singaporeans scrambled to get home  after a long days work. Our kind Singapore Samaritans stepped up to offer free rides and refreshments for those inconvenienced. Give these guys a beer!

Oh, our ERP doesnt breakdown, I guess that can count as something positive as well.

8) Singaporeans display the power of masses by breaking crimes through social media

Social media is not just where we enjoy SGAG and SMRT feedback. In an unbelievable case, a Singapore car stolen in Malaysia was tracked down by the social network of SG and MS netizens. This is so impressive and touched me on how we look out for each other even in the smallest ways. Keep it up guys!

IF this doesnt bring up your SG50 mood, I don't know what else does. Singaporeans, you rock! Happy 50th birthday Singapore!~
