As a Singaporean, I make many friends with Indonesians here. Eventhough they are rich, they remain humble, hospitable and down to earth. This is a trait which I find most endearing about them.
Thank you Max! Another fine video. Very nice woman. The Indonesian embassy here in Copenhagen used to have (until the pandemic) a garden party every summer in June. With food stalls, souvenir shops and different kind of traditional entertainment. I haven't heard of any other embassy doing this.
She is so pretty! While working in Singapore years back, I met this Chinese Indonesian girl who was working there as well. She is so pretty, hardworking and polite. We became close friends and even move in together there. Many years down who would have known she would later be a mother to my two wonderful daughters! We have returned to Jakarta since and at some point we also stayed in the UK. Singapore definitely left us good memories
Thank you very much, Mr. Chernov 🙏🏽🙇🏻♀️❤️ it is heartwarming her real life story. I too arrived in SG around the age from Indonesia and agree the amount of hours to be committed to study and later career establishments. Regardless of Chinese or non, still find struggles living in Singapore 😊 Many Indonesians have to strive harder because of living conditions at Indonesia when you are not rich or having strong social support, we only have our own to answer our own fate 😊
Apart from the thousands of rich Indonesians living in Singapore, there are also millions of dollars of investment from Indonesian corruptors. In the past, Indonesian corruptors fled to Singapore with the proceeds of corruption. I don't follow the latest news, as far as I know there is no extradition treaty between the two countries.
Labuan Bajo is in my list now. Looks awsome. I used to visit Bali, Bandung and Jakarta for shoppings. Btw there's an Indonesian youtuber that currently live in Malaysia with her family, they used to live in Singapore and Hungary before moving to Malaysia. Her channel is Ayu Petreny and Maad. Lovely family.
I'm actually an Indonesian, and to be honest, I still struggle to understand the local language despite the fact that I can speak Hokkien. I had this moment that I could understand what uncles were talking about in Ya Kun Toast, but I used Mandarin instead to order some toast. Nonetheless, I think Cassandra made a good point: consistency and perseverance are really needed if someone wants to live in Singapore.
the local language? everyone speaks English and you said you speak Mandarin.. plus you're Indonesian which means you speak Bahasa Indonesia which is similar to Malay.. that already gives you an edge. I'm Singaporean Indian and I know very little Mandarin and Dialect and speak Malay and have no problem.. unless what you mean is you can't understand the Singlish accent
Nice interview. I assume she has a easier experience adjusting in Singapore being a Chinese descent Indonesian. Would be interesting to hear from a Muslim Indonesian perspective.
Good point. To be honest, we have been used to having a very laid-back lifestyle. If I'm not mistaken, one of your videos has already mentioned about the lifestyle in KL. I can say that both Indonesia and Malaysia have that same attitude, but I'd say Malaysians might be able to adapt much quicker.
Watch next 👉 ruclips.net/video/iZuizUbSh5I/видео.html The story of a foreign woman who obtained Singaporean citizenship. Will she ever truly belong in Singapore? 🤔
Indonesians are very friendly & hospitable. In 1994, went with my friend to Bandung and was hosted by his Indon friends. Stayed at their school hostel and home...I do not know them prior to the trip. Girls are pretty too. Lots of fond memory of Jakarta...1st dating place for wife & myself...she is Khmer and im a sinkie. Both of us don't work or lived in JKT then 😂
I am a chinese Indoensian and completed bachelor degree in NUS in 2012, then I worked there as my service since I received MoE grant to study there. Meanwhile, after 5 years working, and I am eligible to apply SG PR, I decided to return home in Jakarta. Though, my sallary was just a third compared to My Sallary in SG but my quality of live impoved significantly here. I don't live in a cramped HDB anymore, and I can afford nice and spacious landed house, even I can also travel to the countryside together with my litle family in the weekend by my own car. These things are sometimes a litle bit impossible to get in SG actually
I'm pretty sure she renounced her Indonesian citizenship knowing she has been living in SG for more than 5 years because Indonesia only allows cor 1 citizenship
What year is this video? After the Reformation, after Gus Dur became president of Indonesia and abolished discriminatory policies and laws against the Chinese and Tamil minorities in Indonesia, currently (in 2023) life between groups in Indonesia is getting healthier and more tolerant. no more anti-China.
The only problem is that most Indonesian Chinese get good professional jobs in Singapore while most of the Pribumi (natives) of Indonesia tend to get low paying jobs like maids, cleaners , low income worker etc. This is the only issue that people complain about.
You must be naive to think that its all meritocracy when in reality race is still a factor in many jobs and politics in Singapore. A survey done on many workers and nearly 50% faced some forms of discrimination or prefer their own race or distrust certain race more@@MRT-co1sd
You meant to say that there are no Malay or Muslim Indonesians who have degrees, masters or even PhDs but still cannot get jobs in Singapore and still think is base on skills? you can bullshit your own friends and family, but the people know the truth.@@MRT-co1sd
I used to know a nice Indonesian girl with thick eyebrows some years ago. She was sent here after the slaughter of Chinese incident over there. I didn't take extra steps to know her better as I think she came from a very rich family
That's true. My dad and mom survived that year in Indonesia. Dictatorship and discrimination was very strong at that time. You should search Susi Susanti, she is the Chinese born in Indonesia. She was like world champion badminton in 90s, she brings a lot of medals and trophies represented to Indonesia, but she's not even identified as Indonesia resident at that time! How crazy it was...

@@kamariahabdrahim6963 because Singapore was part of the Malaysian Federation in the 1960s and then Singapore separated itself. It is logical that Malaysians in Singapore could have the largest foreign population. 44% is what amount?

People shitting in the street in front of you, queuing to get into a restaurant with a junkie sitting next to the door putting a neee into his arm, junkies chasing after me. After a day I honestly just wanted to come home.
So far I enjoy living here in Jakarta, sorry for your experience but so far massive development in Jakarta is absolutely fantastic! I love Jakarta and enjoy all the things about this largest SE city! I am optimistic that Indonesia will grow well in the future as currently we jumped to upper middle income, in addition Indonesia infrastruktur, economy boom, and stability are the key for the magic Indonesia economy to be like today! Jakarta is also enjoyable
Singapore is these -Strike while the iron is hot with straight to the point, collet your hard earned(with hardship comes ease) and live well in your country with bounties from GOD ,from the fruit of your labour all done in advance. Pretty much GOD's advice. Our first leader must have an adviser that read our Holy Book. PEACE

But why >100,000 people from Big Country wants to live in Tiny Country? You have plenty of wide open spaces, beautiful natural sceneries, beaches, mountains, country sides. Why want to "suffocate" in this Tiny Country?
@@limchyehock6722why ?? Just for chasing money.... Singapore dollars has high value than Rupiah. Then go back to Indonesia after retire for comfort life and spend old age

Some Indonesian Chinese are humble , some are arrogant and show off their wealth. Depends on who you talking to.
@@jameslim3850True. The ones from Java island are mostly humble while the ones who came from certain places like Medan tend to be more arrogant.

Indonesian hokkien is different from sg or malaysian hokkien or even taiwanese version.

Good for you!
Individual preference. Depending on your priorities.
Singaporean has more options on travelling. They can just drive across the causeway and mainland Asia is all there for a much more exciting roadtrip.
I love Bali, where all the people there are so hospitable just like Thailand.
Bali just overrated.. comes to Manado, North Sulawesi.. so underrated...
ur a selfish person. You go somewhere and only care about your own experience
Wow, a video that ends nicely 😊 I like your channel but really dislike the abrupt end usually.
I'm pretty sure she renounced her Indonesian citizenship knowing she has been living in SG for more than 5 years because Indonesia only allows cor 1 citizenship
The distance from Batam to Labuan Bajo is like from Moscow to Berlin
It's more
Is like Moscow to Barcelona
Indonesians have a good network anywhere
In Singapore she need not worry about dying in an outbreak of anti-Chinese pogrom.
What year is this video?

There was a guy from Batam, went Singapore schooling and Poly, further himself to Harvard University. 😁
wow nice
I think you should have a title for example “Living in Lion City” follow by the description of the content.
The only problem is that most Indonesian Chinese get good professional jobs in Singapore while most of the Pribumi (natives) of Indonesia tend to get low paying jobs like maids, cleaners , low income worker etc. This is the only issue that people complain about.
"People" complain about.Who's that people,Singaporean or Indonesian?
Singapore is all based on skills not race, that’s not a problem, it’s a requirement.

Singapore is tiny and ofc easy to manage
I used to know a nice Indonesian girl with thick eyebrows some years ago. She was sent here after the slaughter of Chinese incident over there. I didn't take extra steps to know her better as I think she came from a very rich family
1998? That’s when it was the last big one as I understand
@@MaxChernov Yes I know her during that era. She came here to do medicine at the university. I didn't pursue though she gave me opportunities
