One of the most interesting IS module we had. I think the lecturer makes a big part of making it interesting too. The way he talked is interesting and the languages that he knows are really a lot. He speaks fluently English and a little of Chinese in the lessons. This topic that he is teaching is also interesting. This is because the things in the PowerPoint slides, can be really seen in the weeks we are in Vietnam.
It is said that ‘Love is bigger than Law’ in Vietnam. This is what I totally agree with. This is why Vietnam is the second SEA country in corruption. For example, motorcycle can only have 2 people on it, but most of them had 3 or even 4 to 5. Hence, many got caught, however, just crying, perhaps the police will let it go. In here, the boss and the employee had also about the same rank. Unlike in Singapore, if the employee had disrespect to their boss. They will most likely be fired. Most importantly, there is nap during their working hours here. Hence, these reasons show why Vietnam is corrupted. We shall be glad that Singapore had such strong law, if not, we might also be corrupted if this happen. Another one is that impatience is getting rich. This is what I experienced even on the first day here. They just cut queue even seeing you queuing up for it. If this happen back in our country, those cut queue will definitely got scold by the ones queuing up. However, I cannot scold them, because this is something normal here.
Having said the negative points, I shall say some positive points too. I admire their community spirit. Like eating, wait for each other to eat. Nowadays, in Singapore, most of the family, the family members just eat by themselves. Especially the children, they seldom eat at the dining table with their parents. It seems that the Vietnamese will think of their families in everything they do. I think reason that some Singaporeans are more of individualism is because we are exposed to many things like westernization too.
