Also, that's possible in Singapore. Reliable train, proper footpath, helpful desk service, safe community. Try that in Malaysia, the kid will enter another country by then.
@Ben Chu I think he’s talking about the Malaysia part. The commenter said that the kid might enter another country(basically human trafficking) and it might be Singapore cuz it’s our neighbour. Quite ez to get here
Awsmcommentsquad can you stop with all this shit?Why can't we stop with this crap and have peace?You know why Singapore and Malaysia can never have peace?Because people like you are the reason why!I really do feel that both Singaporeans and Malaysians can stop with all these arguments cause there is no point in arguing and the reason is because it's never going to end!
singapore is pretty much alike with japan and south korea it's pretty safe to go anywhere and nobody will going to have the intention to rob or to kill you or hurting you in that way
Cute. Lucky a production crew followed him to keep him safe and that no paedophiles snatched him up. It isn't worth it to send a child this young, alone, on a journey so far without a hidden support team. The results may end poorly. It is better to do local tasks/journey and just shadow them without them knowing at first.
@@tonyprovideo Things do happen here. We should never be complacent. If things never happen, why have police? There are paedophiles here. There are cases of sexual of abuse. There is rape. Not everything is on CNA.
@@AbandonedNomad actually rape occurs more with people that you know then that you don't know but I do get where you're coming from. I would actually let my kids do errands on their own but shadow them yes. That being said, Singapore is also a place with a lot of cameras etc and people are generally law abiding. So maybe when my child is 8 or so I would let them go on their own.
@@97AshleyRose Yeah I know. I have nothing against americans but the country is in a bad state right now. Send a black kid on the train and the police will gun him down. I'm not saying all the time, but you here stories like this a lot.
I did this every week when I was 5 or 6. My parents had to work halfday on Saturday and being me, I am just so bored. So I took the bus and MRT from AMK to Pasir Ris by myself. The first time I did it, my parents cant believe me. I literally steal my dad's ezlini card (sorry dad, RIP). I left the house at 11.30am, so by the time my mother is home around 12.15pm, I didnt arrive at Pasir Ris yet. So she was so damn scared. I walked around quite a bit and I remember being helped by an old auntie in City Hall station. God bless you auntie. Only when I arrive in Pasir Ris, my grandma call AMK and told my mother, that I arrived, alone. I got the spanking of my life but also the deepest hug. The next weekend, and the other weekend and the rest of the other weekend, I just go out to Pasir Ris alone. 😁 That being said, it is super safe in Singapore. My mother always told me that, just ask people if you dont know anything. 11 out of 10 people will help. 😊 And the kid in this video, he is just adorable. I do believe kids should be taught to travel alone. But not to the northern suburbs. 😓 Sorry, I have nothing against Yishun, Sembawang or Woodlands. But ....... 😁 Just sorry.
OMG!! He is 5 years old and can ride mrt by himself!!!! I am 11 years old and I can't even do that!!! I wish I was him!!! And also he is SUPER CUTE!!!!
And here I am, I only learned to commute alone after graduating elementary in one way destination, from house to school, and only learned to commute to different areas after entering college
Grigori Rasputin looool 😂 Funny thing is my dad takes the MTS(Metro Trains Sydney) everyday to drop my little bro at school since he’s too scared that he’ll get lost😂
Absolutely beautiful manners, never forgot to say please and thank you and was always extremely courteous. Mum and dad you should be incredibly proud of him 🥰
Same here Just because Im girl My parents are lowkey terrified of me getting on a train alone because they are afraid that I might get molested or kidnapped xD
Nice kid. Lovely kid. He made me cry...laugh...think...love. When I saw him lying down on sofa in waiting area at his dad's office melted my heart. Send my love to him. Way to go dear! To the parents who did it......👏👏👏👏👏👏 . Thankyou for making my parenting skills even stronger. You guys made my day exactly at 11.59pm. 😍😍😍😍😍
Yeah its true, the anxiety or the fear is from the mother /the parents not the child, because thats happen to me also, i work in the city, and it took about 4/5 hours from my hometown, so i have to stay there, and my parents didn't let me go alone, my father whould accompany me until to the workplace. And i was 18 that time 😂, even tho now, they still worried so much, when i go home alone, or go somewhere alone, they'll keep calling me so many times,😂 But they never been so worried to my little brother whenever he going somewhere alone, even to the city, they'll just told him to call them when he reach.
Hello! I hope you are having a great day! Remember that you are amazing and beautiful so always be yourself and be happy!!!! (I wanna make someone’s day today 😊😊)
Lee Kuan Yew has made this.Because of him Singapore is one of the safest countries on the planet.He changed Singapore from a swamp to a economic power house in one generation. Majulah Singapura 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬
I really like when he said, "Oh, first time. So fun! It's so fun." I constantly repeat that part, it remind me of my triplets lil brothers. Lol, I miss them.
His parents raised him well..what a polite little man..
Yeah and he so cute as well.
"The separation anxiety is from the mother not the child" As a mother of 2, I couldn't agree more.
Black pepper 😂 Malaysian?
And from the child. He was initially frightened and needed reassurance (age appropriate)
tell this to my parents
Ayyy he's got beyblades. He's been raised well.
HAHAHA
I like Minecraft
Ikr my childhood
No,he has been raised in the 1990's and his family knows the secret to aging.
LOL now i am asking myself WHICH BEYBLADES IS HE PLAYING WITH Metal or Burst
"Yes young man? Can I help?
Nathanael : yes. You can help

Try that in Malaysia, the kid will enter another country by then.
MsBear1122 true😂
Here in Japan it is customary for us to send children out on their own, as they have to go to school by themselves when they enter primary school.
The kid may enter Singapore, because it’s neighboring with Singapore.
@Ben Chu I think he’s talking about the Malaysia part. The commenter said that the kid might enter another country(basically human trafficking) and it might be Singapore cuz it’s our neighbour. Quite ez to get here
Singapore has a lot of cctv around. So it is not a big problem letting your kid go alone... so proud of Singapore Government 👏👏👏👏
Dara Dara true
Pat the big brother on his head
Dara Dara I go myself everywhere and I’m only 11! Tbh, SG is quite safe
brainwashed by pap liao this one
@@huiwunzart7111 you 11 ah? go east spring sec after psle hAhah-

krystal goh I also did the same way as he did when I started taking it independently during the pre-pandemic days.
Me as always
Srs? I'm alr 17 and I still talk to myself everytime I'm alone as long as no one is around
How about the camera man

Meh 5 times
i know my reason: "young man can i help you?" "yes you can help" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Me at least 4 times
I can’t believe he actually cried in beginning and then was he was acting like he didn’t cry before
Because He Was Afraid To Go Alone As That Was Is Very First Time Going 'Independent' For The Public Transport Journey.
Only in Singapore, this can be done. But definitely not in Malaysia!
He will get his assistant whooped by a stranger

This is so cute and funny HAHA.
I am so proud of this boy courage and effort. This is so encouraging to a kid.

Brave kid! very polite and good manners. Parents should be rly proud
The way he says “I’m going home” cheers me up for some reason

Me: Can barely go around my schools gym for 12 laps
This kid is very smart. I love to watch these from CNA.
Ma mum didn’t even let 10 year old me go take the shops by myself that were next to my house
Because she loves you, and she was afraid that you might get lost.
Zyzy Azizah Lol my mum told me to take the MTS by myself almost everyday to shop to buy stuff since we don’t live in suburban areas
OMG!! He is 5 years old and can ride mrt by himself!!!! I am 11 years old and I can't even do that!!! I wish I was him!!! And also he is SUPER CUTE!!!!
When I was 11 it was also my first time taking bus and mrt alone
He’s so polite!
The camera crew carried such huge cameras. He definitely knew he was being accompanied
Probably not
If my son was like this young boy. Omg I will love him so much more. Know how to respects and know how to be independent.
The like the part where he was like : “I’m going home!”
Edit: and 4:26 also! Haha!
Today’s a BUSy day!
Get it?
No? Okay
