As parent , my wish for my daughter wanting her happiness, healthy and blessings with love. No matter what is her decision to stay, or work and settle down, we would continue to respect and support. Just want her happy. Thank Irene for sharing. Lovely parents of yours………Wish them healthy and happy always. ❤️🔥
It is really sweet of you to bring your parents to singapore to see how you live. I hope they are reassured that you are safe and ok. Good daughter! Thank you.
Thank you and your parents for sharing these vids about their first visit to Sg. You’re a wonderful daughter showing and planning the itineraries to show case our clean and beautiful country 😁
In the seventies and eighties, we as reservists, used the vehicles in the duck tours for amphibious assault excercises. Yes, Irene's father was right, they were military vehicles before.
This is just for reference purpose only. 1987 - I worked in Japanese company (2 years work permit), applied for Singapore PR, rejected. 1988 joined Seagate and got 3 years work permit. Applied for PR again, approved and got the brown card can stay in Singapore as long as my permit is valid. 1991 - joined Cisco auxiliary police. My officer told me to go to Singapore ICA. I got my blue ic. Changed to pink Ic in 1995. I think if you joined MNC that is based in Singapore, your chances will increase.
Show them the rental HDB flats in Tampines. It will blow their mind how our low income citizens have access to such flats without having to wait too long. Our government here really looks after the poor here.
Thank you Irene for being such a wonderful host to your parents and a great ambassador for Singapore :) it's great that your parents have enjoyed their stay here!
In the past, for numerous years, residents do not have a part in the paint color of the hdb flats. You can check with the older folks, eg 40 years and above, in S'pore. The option to select only began to start in recent years.
As a Singaporean who has lived in HK for decades, the major difference between Singapore & HK MRT / MTR is the quietness of passengers in the train (MRT) in Singapore compared to HK. Usually when you take the MTR in HK, there's people talking loudly on the phones or to his/ her friend (s) or people listening to radio/ music / voice messages on their phones, or playing games loudly on their phones. And, the children can be found playing in the MTR, doing monkey bars or climbing up on the seats, etc ... Such scenes or behaviours, you can hardly find in the MRT of Singapore. Similarly comparison for bus in Singapore & HK.
Well chinese are loud speaking people and most of them have kind heart and the saying goes dont judge a book by it cover ....I guess every country have their pros and cons ...
Well, spore mrt is getting noisier day by day. You can hear many foreign people talking loudly in the train and old "uncles" (usually) playing loud music from their cell phones. 😂
u have been so lucky that u are able to live in singapore. i have been to singapore many times and how i wish i can stay there for long. i love how singapore so neat and clean. i love the singaporen food. how i wish i can spend a long long vacation in singapore and try out all the singaporean food. tell singapore i love her
@@nntflow7058 as someone who had lived in both, Hong Kongers have to be careful what they wished for. Modern China modelled after LKY's Singapore, why do Hong Kongers think the Singapore model of governance suits them?
@@shonest8489 As someone who sit in the Centre-Left spectrum of the political compass, I could confidently say that they failed if we look at the current situation in China. Housing is horrible in China, most apartments are privatized and people can't afford it no more, especially younger people these days. How come a capitalist countries like Norway, Singapore or Denmark have better social housing compared to a Communist country? Youth unemployment before and after Covid-19 is sitting at a very high level. Health care and pension funds are drying up due to corruptions and incompetence. Hence why the CCP try to Liberalized the Pension fund by creating private pension scheme last year. One of China's biggest problem is the fact that it refuses to adopt meritocracy and the fact that they are socially conservatives.
@@nntflow7058 housing numbers looks great in Singapore but one essentially lease from the government in their lifetime, impressive unemployment numbers because no aids will be coming from the government and homeless ppl get send to jail, proud in bilingualism and dialects are wiped off … devil are in the details, I don’t mean to put down Singapore, but I’m saying this is exactly what Hong Kongers are complaining about the current government, and they’re not even half as tough as current Singapore, matter of compatibility. The point is, if Hong Kong go the Singapore way, or if miraculously Hong Kong turns into Singapore overnight, it’ll be quite sad, coz Singapore is nice, but Hong Kong is fantastic.
@@shonest8489 How did you think housing work in China? You think they allow Chinese people to own property? No, they leased them like they did in Singapore. Both Hong Kong and Singapore are more compatible with each other. The believe in Democracy, Meritocracy and Rule of law. Hong Kong is horrible right now. The economy is crumbling, housing are being bought off by people from Mainland China and many locals are being wiped out by the people from the mainland.
Singapore HDB flat changes throughout the history of Singapore. I think in the early 60s to 70s, the most famous is 10 storey HDB flat. Shop houses come with 1 unit of living area at storey 2, there are unit in storey 3 to 4, mostly 3 bedroom. I think in the 80s, we have 20-22 storey HDB flat. Currently, from what I know there are few 40 storey HDB flats. Changes due to increase of population and limited land space.
Some of the HDBs are shorter (1) older or (2) near an airport where planes take off so they can't build it too high! The taller HDBs that are further away are at places like Clementi and Toa Payoh. The rooftop that your parents were asking about at Duxton @ Pinnacle is a sky garden! Can see fireworks on New Year's day but limited to residents only. On normal days, I think u can pay a small sum to enter! The newer HDBs are quite pretty too, look similar to condo design haha. Residents get to vote for the colour of the flats every 5 years :)
some HDB flats are short (10 to 12 storey) because of height restriction for aeroplanes. Hougang, yishun, tampines. most tall like 20-40 stories can be found in west and central areas..
your parents are thinking that if you got married in SG they may want to help you buy flat here, that's why they are always interested in the public housing. you should bring them past those new estates in Tampines where you stay, they look similar to the condos beside them.
You can even take a bus ride to Johor Bahru in neighboring Malaysia all you need is a valid passport or a ferry ride from Tanah Merah Terminal to Batam and Bintan Islands in Indonesia's Riau Archipelago.
Irene, Guess you have yet to visit Dawson Rd/Dawson Place at Queenstown (near Queenstown Station). There is few HDB DBSS flats at Dawson Rd/Dawson Place as impressive as Tanjong Pagar HDB DBSS Pinnacle. The flats were built next to the canal with canal connector leading to Clarke Quay. Some flat also has sky garden on high floor level and has a good view of Singapore too. No admission fee needed to go to the sky garden as long as we do not to create nuisance, no one will chase us away😂. Besides Dawson Place, nearby also have some impressive 2-yr old 40+ level HDB flats which were built to accommodate residents from 60-yr old enbloc flats at Tanglin Halt. Do find time to explore the west
1:23 auntie and uncle are really lucky, the dbl deck public bus with headrest seats that they boarded was a demonstrator (aka sample/prototype of a new variant or model) given by MAN to LTA.. 平时公共巴士的座位是普通的平面肩行少‘肉’的bucket seat，有headrest的可说是千里挑一
Thanks for sharing, you are a good daughter and organised a well plan trip for your parents. Hope they will visit you soon and you can bring them to explore Malaysia! Incidentally we are planning a short trip to Singapore/Malaysia, I will check out kkday packages. Question of communication if you don't mind. Is free wifi avail most of the places there ior we need to get local data/SIM card? Cheers.
Hi I want to visit Hong Kong but don’t know how to get around and where to find nice food. Hope you will do a video on hk like what you did about singapore. Thanks. Good video.
Sorry about the last part when some lady said Singapore is more fun than Hong Kong. We shouldn't compare as our lifestyle and culture have so much differences yet some similairity. "Fun" is base on each of each own. It a shame that there are many grown up still dunno how to talk. Great that your parent enjoyed their stay in Sg.
You mentioned the color of the outside is chosen by the residents like every 10/20 years. I supposed you are referring to the re-painting of the blocks. They are actually re-painted every 7 years.
Actually HDB in Singapore should compare with HK's 居屋。compare with 公屋 is not a fair comparison, as these HDB are sell to the owner, not renting like公屋 in HK.
Glad your parents enjoyed their stay here, hope they’ll travel more into Southeast Asia, as Singapore is very similar to the developed areas in Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and the Philippines. Same weather, climate and even people. ❤
The design was conceptualised in Germany before they were manufactured and assembled in China, and their parts were sourced from various countries including United Kingdom, France and Germany.... from Singapore LTA official statement. Thus, my point is this is a globalization economy effect. It is NOT a China train.

“The hdb blocks are not very tall BUT the colours are beautiful”, your mum must have lived in too densely populated area to be senile enough to think that taller block are better…taller also got its own pro and cons, so does shorter block. If According to your mum logic of taller is better, then nobody wan to live in landed already
You forgot to ask them about how the Hong Kong mtr shut down during the protests or how gangsters beat riders. I’m sure they would see Singapore is better.

No Irene, Queensway new hdb also very beautifully built . Punggol also not bad with riverside living.
新加坡组屋HDB Flats , 每五年外墙都会粉刷新的漆。其他公用设备也会时常保养及维修。住在组屋非常舒畅不比私人公寓差。
So lucky to have cooling weather. Not so easy tired.

恭喜你们 😉

love the conclusion u made by end of the video. guess your parents must love such a sweet holiday with their beloved daughter.

Sad to see them going back to Hong Kong but hope they will be back soon.
Glad you enjoy your trip. ❤
IRENE you are a very filial daughter .....many LOVES from Singapore !!!
Pinnacle is very high HDB and have nice garden. Too bad you missed it. Night safari is also super cool.

有个孝順女好福气
被Irene 的孝順感動。
HK and Singapore just a few hours away from each other, no worries. Home is where ur heart is, easy decision.
Yingying, you should be sponsored by Singapore Tourist Promotion Board. Good Job!
Irene ，你講錯咗，新加坡的組屋不是香港的公屋，而是相當於香港的“居屋”。
新加坡確實有類似“公屋”的住房，單入金已經好少了。絕少有人仲住刻鐘住所，必須是好貧窮的人先至有機會住。
Hope yr parents enjoy their holidays here 👍

Main difference between MTR and MRT is the power distribution, MTR is hanging up and MRT is lying down.
Singapore's MRT trains uses an electrified third rail same type used in Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta.
..... Little Irene....Good Morning..

Sg MRT Lines map has no Chinese words because English is the official working & common language for multi racial Singapore.
HK everything in Cantonese.

By glimpsing the HDB outlook is hard to tell how big is the unit, you should have brought them to the HDB hub showroom.
Oh yes! Mynicehome is free to access for everyone! Has 2, 3, 4 and 5 room designs for buyers to reference from! Great idea!

Vastly different.

Good question
Hongkongers usually collapse and cry with envy when they experience singapore public housing. Has been like this even in the 90s.
They are shock to see the size of HDB's kitchens.
Good girl

Lols your dad is quite sharp... i wont be surprise too if the mrt comes from the same factory with the ones in hk.... all made in china
