New citizens of S'pore, please attempt the ultimate S'porean citizenship test

Anything less than 100 marks is unacceptable.

So this post came up on Facebook on Aug. 30, 2014:

 

Getting the pink IC is just the first step to being a Singaporean. There are many milestones to achieve to indicate that one has assimilated with the rest of the country's natural born citizens.

For example, you can feast on durian with a side serving of mangosteen. You unconsciously avoid tourist traps in Chinatown. You think nothing of wearing slippers and shorts to the wet market. You put pandan leaves in your car boot because you see your neighbours do it. And you whinge about the PAP but still vote for them.

Last, but not least, you've gotten the linguistics part of it down pat.

The following linguistic test below, devised by local communications agency Maven Potter during National Day 2014 to show how clever and engaging they are as a public relations firm, is actually very useful as a determinant of Singaporean-ness.

You know you've become a full-fledged citizen when all these sentences come to you as effortless as breathing.

Therefore, have a go at it. Anything less than 100 marks means you still buay zhai. Can?
