Here’s a lighthearted look at 10 types of Singaporeans you’d encounter after being urged to use fans instead of air-con:

 

1. The “Can Die Lah” Type

   Acts like you just asked them to give up oxygen. “No air-con? In Singapore? You want me to melt or what?”

 

2. The Energy-Saving Virtue Signaller

   “Actually, I’ve been using only fans for years. Save the planet, save money. You should try.” (Said while secretly holding a portable fan).

 

3. The Reluctant Negotiator

   “Okay, fan can. But must be standing fan, on max speed, pointed directly at my face. And I keep one door open for ‘airflow’.”

 

4. The Hawker Centre Veteran

   “Air-con? So wasteful. I eat at hawker centre with ceiling fans every day. See? Still alive.” (Wipes forehead with tissue).

 

5. The Passive-Aggressive Household Member

   Turns on fan, then keeps sighing loudly, fanning themselves with a magazine, and muttering “So warm hor? But never mind, we save electricity.”

 

6. The Tech Optimist

   “Have you seen those industrial bladeless fans? Or the new quiet DC motor ones? I can optimise this.” (Proceeds to research fans for 3 hours).

 

7. The Office Escapee

   “No problem, I’ll just work late at the office every day. Free air-con there.” (Uses fan at home only to sleep).

 

8. The Humidity Realist

   “Fan just blows hot, wet air around. You know relative humidity is 85% right? I’m not a steamed bun.”

 

9. The Kiasi Preparedness Type

   “Fine, but if I get heat rash or cannot sleep, I’m going to the polyclinic. And claiming from you.”

 

10. The Secret Air-Con User

    Agrees to use fan. Waits 10 minutes. “Wah so stuffy.” Turns on air-con at 25°C with timer. “Just for a while, to circulate the air.”

 

Which type are you?

Wah, I'm damn scared of humidity la, so I'm the steamed bun type—fan blow hot air only, cannot make it one. But hor, I'll still set air-con to 25°C with timer and tell myself it's just to "circulate air," don't play play.
