Supercilious Karens and Kevins from Failed States

You park yourself in my country, and you bully us.

Yes, Singaporeans, there are those among us who believe their intellect reigns supreme, their judgment infallible. These self-proclaimed “know-it-alls,” these “smart alecs” delude themselves into thinking they alone have the nous to deal with the world.

Let them not forget, however, that Singapore is a small place. Actions, and reputations, are keenly observed. Eyes are everywhere. Whispers carry. Cross lines, and the very ground you mock will rise to swallow you whole, especially when you operate in an industry with very few players. Scam a customer or sabotage a fellow entrepreneur and the whole world knows. Fuck your benefactors, spin crap stories about them and stab them in the back and the whole world knows. People are not stupid.

Live by the sword? Then get sliced, dismembered and rot by it. Underestimate the shadows, and you’ll choke on the reckoning. Play bullshit games with me, and you will burn in the hell you’ve stoked. Remember you are in my territory and you are only a foreigner and I can hurt you in ways you never expected.

And if you persist in your arrogance, you will court a devastating reckoning. Be warned: I do not step into arenas I cannot dominate; I do not engage in battles I cannot win. Mark my words.

In the meantime, may karma dry fucks your ass with a cactus.
