"Courtesy Is for Free..."

Does everyone remember Singa our beloved courtesy campaign mascot? (I used to sketch one of these for art class in primary school.) Conceived in 1982, the smiling lion - as opposed to the three man-mauling tigers in Mandai - is already 26 years old (94 in cat years!). But why issit that S'poreans are still so impolite one, har? Jialat.
