Oei! Can You Queue Or Not?
News February 12th, 2007
Hordes of volunteers in China are supporting the “No Queue-Jumping” campaign. In other words, lining up in an orderly manner will be seen as nice and this gesture will form a good impression to foreign visitors who go to the Beijing Olympics in 2008, at least that’s how the Chinese public has perceived.
The campaign was launched under the slogan: “It’s civilised to queue, it’s glorious to be polite.”
The Olympics is seen as an opportunity to showcase China to the world.
If you have gone to Singapore, you can see that Singaporeans always queue. No matter if they are waiting for S$2 Char Kway Teow (fried flat noodles) or movie tickets, they always queue. I believe China can bring the “Qing” culture to a perfection, or as good as Singapore.
