Japanese work long hours, many left office before midnight to catch the last train, others who missed the train sleep in the street and go back office next morning to save time and transport fare.
Many work beyond 2-3am, I heard a woman works until 3am then go home sleeps for a few hours then goes back office at 8:30am, what kind of life this is, no wonder many died in office after working long hours.
On the other hand, many have to accompany their boss after work for drinking sessions pub after pub until 1 or 2am.

Does LHL have the right to tell us to learn from Japan
when they have a strong cultural identity
and social norms to encourage
such behaviour in their country
While SG CANNOT because PAP told us to
INTEGRATE with Foreigners!!
PUI!

I think this "conscientious" culture is really just herd conformity at the end of the day. While most Asian cultures are indeed more collective compared to the Europeans / Americans that that tend to focus on individual rights, the Japanese really bring this to a new level.
However the key thing is from what we can see now, this unique Japanese conformity seems to cause more harm than benefits. The society has stagnated, become extremely risk adverse and nobody wants to do anything for fear of sticking out. When I lease with my Japanese business partners / colleagues, they are extremely reluctant to do anything outside SOP and just feed any problem into the bureaucratic grinder for months and years without output.
If that's the end game, I would say no thank you. Sure, Singaporeans are definitely not as "civilized" in terms of social behavior compared to the Japs, but at least we still have people doing all sorts of "xiaodaiji" and haven't slide into social lethargy yet.

Don't know why they like to queue so long for food?
You can ask for directions on the train. The first reply is hai with a head nod. If you follow, you might get out of the wrong station.Ā Some sleepĀ on the train and are too tired to think. Heard that their police are quite good. In terms of courtesy wise, Singapore is better.
On the road, when you askedĀ for direction, they will mostly help you.
They lose out because of English. Most don't speak English. In a shop, usually, there will be one mandarin speaker.
