"KIASU" is a phrase that famous in Singapore and Malaysia Chinese community.
What should I say is, this phrase a bit hard to explain what it mean.
But lucky that, someone have make a explanation on Wikipedia.
here is the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiasu
Normally, this situation will appears when some elder person or parrents, will talk about others people or siblings children are reach education higher level than you, or reach higher income than you, that's a kind of "KIASU".
When this happen, you will feel stress normally (as a person who grown up in KIASU environment will feel that), and try the best to fight it.
This cultural will cause good or bad ending depend on person.
KIASU is good when a person are win from others, will increase confidence in the rest of the day.
KIASU is bad when a person fight lose from others even he/she are already try their best, and will cause mentally problem if seriously, slightly will just became a person that less confidence.
But normally in Chinese community Win in KIASU means RICH, lose in KIASU means poor.
No choice, that is human.
And I born in this kind of cultural community, I feel stress whole year.
I just try run away from this thing cause I really don't like fight each others on everything.
Why don't just share the good things each others but don't be jealous ?
I no put any hope that KIASU will decrease happening.
So I continue runaway from this, oh yeah ~~~ fuck up
Good night ~ :D
