Kiasuism

The word “kiasu” is coming from Hokkien, means “fear of losing

or not getting the best”. It can explain the stereotype of some
6.
Singaporean behaviors. Kiasuism manifests itself in many ways,
7.
such as waiting in long lines to receive a door prize or giveaway
or grabbing excess amounts of food in a buffet or sale items at a
store for fear of not getting it later. But it could also describe an

ambitious and successful person. Most of the Asian are taught to
be gentle, while Kiasuism attitude can come off as aggressive and

opportunistic. Well, if you want to succeed within a competitive

society, you have to practice how to communicate straight to the
point and get to take the fact that being gentle may not be the

solution for everything.

新加坡人多半有「Kiasu」的特質，這個新式英文來自於福建話的「怕輸」。我們對
新加坡人處事較強勢的刻板印象多半來自於此。新加坡人的怕輸體現在生活的各個

層面，比方說為了特價或贈品而大排長龍、在吃到飽餐把食物夾的比山高、怕買不
到更低的價格而在特賣會中完全不思考的殺紅眼……等等。但換在工作上，這樣的怕

輸反而被視為是充滿幹盡的成功者必備的特質。大部分的亞洲人在我們的母國被教

育要以和為貴、有禮走天下，怕輸的行為常常跟得理不饒人或是投機取巧等較負面
的特質畫上等號。但在新加坡這樣競爭激烈的職場環境下，認清以和為貴並不永遠

有效並學會更直接有效的溝通是絕對必要的。
