Why is Singapore a better place than Hong Kong although they have many things in common?

Singapore and HK have many things in common. For example, people from both places live in government condominium as both have little land. Both have strong law enforcement and low crime rate. Both are modern and good business centers. Both emphasize on education. Both have covenient transportation. But in term of people's friendliness and morality, both are so different. Singaporeans are friendly and well-mannered why HKers are unfriendly and rude. Moreover, research shows than SG people are happier than HKers. For example, less suicide rate, less pressure. According to http://www.cityu.edu.hk/prj/ysnet/iclsp/... SG people are better than HKers in every aspect including sports and academic ability, feeling towards family, morality, social manner and relationship and people's self-esteem. I really wonder why?

You know what, all I ever hear are Singaporeans comparing themselves to other cultures and how better off they feel that they are. It's almost like they're trying to reassure themselves of something that they're not really believing in the first place. I was visiting Singapore a few years ago and as soon as the taxi driver heard we were from Hong Kong, he immediately started explaining why Singapore is far more superior that HK (and we didn't even ask!) You never hear of HKers comparing their lives with Singaporeans. I really wonder why?

You been brain-washed. Singapore is better than JB or Batam. But nowhere near Hong Kong.

Wow, you only focused on one source and it's not fair to generalise the information there to the whole of Singaporeans and Hong Kong-ers. It's not true that HKers are worse than Singaporeans in every aspect. And you wonder why??!! Well, let me tell you why. You can't make sense out of a false and filmsy statement like that. That's why!! Please don't tell me that you're a Singaporean. -.-;; You should be ashamed to call yourself a HK-er if you're one.
