Here ya go, mate - a comprehensive description.

Wasn't me eating kampung rice with my hands on Arab Street - Arab Street is populated these days mainly by bloody Turks and Turkish restaurants, not heritage families of Singapore Arabs,

I never eat with my fingers anyway, it is unsanitary. Great way to ingest even more germs and pathogens.

"Tall poppy syndrome is a social phenomenon, particularly noted in Australia, where high-achievers are criticized, resented, or ostracized for their success. It stems from a cultural tendency to value egalitarianism and modesty, and the idea that no one should stand out too much or appear to be better than others. This can manifest as attempts to "cut down" or undermine those who are perceived as "tall poppies".

Here's a more detailed explanation:
Definition:
Tall poppy syndrome describes the tendency to criticize or resent individuals who achieve notable public success, particularly if they are perceived as excessively promoting their achievements or opinions.

Cultural Roots:
It's believed to be rooted in Australian and New Zealand values of egalitarianism, where excessive success can be seen as a threat to the principle of equality. The idea is that everyone should be equal, and those who rise above the rest are seen as potentially arrogant or deserving of criticism.

Manifestations:
The syndrome can manifest in various ways, including:
Criticism and negative judgment of the individual's achievements.
Spreading rumors or gossip.
Excluding the individual from social groups.
Undermining their work or career.
Accusing them of being arrogant or self-important.

How's that?

Just a clue - "Tall Poppy Syndrome" does not exist in America,
