Dic/ Usages/ "We are spoilt"


Let's admit: we are spoilt, most of us. We don't think twice to express our discontent if the Internet does not work, or complain over the slightly inferior quality of accommodation, meals, or the comfort of the facilities in the world or continental events. And then, when we read a report on athletes who are less fortunate and have to fight elementary hardships day by day, we stop to think and ─ stop complaining.

We live in a world of comforts. Our pizzas are delivered to us at our doorsteps; we are spoilt for choice in online shopping, choosing everything from sneakers to underwear with a simple click; even dating is as simple as swiping someone's face ringt or left.

Here in Malaysia we are spoilt with choices of delicious foods. But let's face it─many of our favourites are not going to win many points in a "healthy food" contest.

Strait Times: Singaporeans are spoilt!!! 
Singaporeans are a bunch of whiners just like what our esteemed MPs said in parliament. Ordinary Singaporeans are unappreciative of the excellent system set up by the PAP and the 1st World standards they have in place. ...
