Singapore a really clean country?

Is Singapore a really clean country? I don't think so...yes, we have lotsa dustin and trash containers...but you see rubbish, litter everywhere....the fines are not effective.
Personally, i find SIngaporeans to be a selfish lot, one which does not see far..."if it doesn't concern me at the moment, i don't care..." this is what alot of the people's mentality are...

You see litters everywhere, even if the dustbin is full, people still insist on "throwing" the litter in THAT dustbin..."there'll be someone to take care of that, i just need to get rid of this litter"
After an event, like national day or some outdoor activities, soccer matches, concerts, cinemas, etc. everyone just leaves the rubbish there....

the people just could not be educated about how we are killing the environment and how the ozone layer is being depleted..."By the time the earth dies, i'd be dead anyway"
Yes, we may have a good government to "keep" the country clean, by fines, laws, hiring lotsa cleaners etc...
but it is each and everyone's concern for the environment, upbringing, mentality, values to stop oneself from littering...
Up to now, this is still not seen in most Singaporeans...sad to say..

We still need the cleaners to keep this city a clean and flowery city...one may say "if the place was so clean, the cleaners would be out of job, we're giving them a living"

Heck, rubbish talk as excuses for their own irresponsibility and immaturity.
