What should I know about Singapore culture when working with them?

So long story short, I need to know about Singaporean culture related to receiving constructive criticism or questioning. Is there a good way to go about it that is less likely to offend?

They like beating the shit out of people try that

@Doomflower Nah I'm good.

@Turtlepower you have to display your dominance or they won't respect you. ;-)

@Doomflower Haha you're too much. I'll keep that in mind in the future 😂

@SW-User Gotcha. So I've less to worry about regarding being offensive than let's say Japan?

@in10RjFox Thank you. I think Long gave me the advice I needed. I appreciate it!

Hierarchy is everything over here. They don’t like anyone questioning anything they do. Managers go on power trips all the time.

Everyone has forgotten the most important thing, cock out when shaking hands.
Turtlepower · 36-40, M
@goldenorchid Wait, is there any other way to shake hands?
goldenorchid · 46-50, F
@Turtlepower oh wow, so you've met the Queen of England, that's cool.

About all you are going to learn here is makeup tips from crossdressers.

don't need to know just respect all cultures.
Turtlepower · 36-40, M
@Yaz69 See this isn't true though. In western culture we typically prefer to be direct. In Japan for example this is incredibly rude. Respecting all cultures includes learning enough about them to actually show them respect.
