    One of the reasons westerners (mostly Americans) think we are a very strict country is because of in 1994, we sentenced an American teenager Michael Fay to six strokes of the cane for vandalism. Americans might think we are barbaric to cane someone for vandalism, but as a Singaporean i'm proud we stuck to our guns. Some things like vandalism, drugs, gangsterism, etc are strict no-no... else we can't be that clean and safe place that everyone wants/enjoys.

      Indonesians could actually be managed this way, but only in certain cities/places where the majority of the people are Chinese descendants. Bangka, Belitung, Pontianak. (PBB people call them). Malaysia could be prosperous as well in certain areas such as Penang, and Malacca, close to the borders with west Kalimantan (West Borneo) due to their Chinese descendants. But politics make it impossible for them to prosper as fast as in Singapore. Many Hakkas, Fuchienese, and Teochews left for Perth, Sydney, even NYC, LA, New Jersey, Germany, The Netherlands, and Singapore because they didn't want their descendants to work so hard for the countries, only to be blackmailed, victimized, killed by those who thought their poverty is caused by the local Chinese. Sad, but it's the reality that needs to be told to the indigenous people. Better let the Chinese prosper and enjoy partially of the prosperity or killed, chase the Chinese away, and suffer eternal poverty because of a lack of trading and businesses. Indonesia. According to one study, needs 1600 + small and middle businesses, Well who are the business owners? The locals just want to be civil servants and earn a lot more than their salaries, it's called corruption !!!

This is from Indonesia alone, not to mention from The Philippines, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and even the UK and USA. Singapore is heading to an intelligent society.

He only got caught because he littered in plain sight of a police officer hahahaha, I’ve never heard of anyone else in my social circle getting caught for it. You probably already know this, but such laws were introduced to tackle the growing pains of transitioning from a piss poor village to first world metropolis. Singaporeans had to learn to live like city dwellers in 1 generation. My dad grew up a village boy without running water, but now we’re comfortably living in high rise apartments and first world amenities. That doesn’t mean civilised habits just naturally spawned, there was a huge government undertaking to educate the people and regulation was liberally used to shape socials norms.

    I guess people do not give way to vehicles coming from minor roads because the highway code states that cars from monor roads are to give way instead. By trying to give way when you are on major roads, you might actually be holding back main traffic flows. Probably it's a culture that we might have to review.

    All the ding dongs who complain life in Singapore is difficult and expensive really need a trial in other major cities around the world. You will see how much worse it is there. As someone who grew up in other countries (including a few third world countries), I can tell you, Singapore really is haven compared to those places.

    what can happen to Singaporeans if world war 3 may occur and the major problem is where to get the fresh water resources especially those who stay in high rise buildings due to everything collapse but it's definitely different if you stay in a bigger area such as Malaysia Thailand or Indonesia .

    Actually if I were in charge of approving citizenship for SG, I would be very cautious to approve a popular influencer.
    It is very easy for someone to switch camps.
    You may be an asset to Singapore now but if you turn to the dark side in the future, you can be a very heavy liability. It is almost impossible to revoke your citizenship once handed to you.
    This is just my opinion. Your videos are great by the way.

      The waiting list is too long. Even Americans and English people are on the list. Singapore is small and they are expecting young fresh graduates with honors from overseas universities Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, MIT, Monash, New South Wales, Melbourne University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and from foreign students in Singapore from Nanyang, NUS universities as well from neighboring Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philipines even Greece.

    I've never been to Russia but my friend told me a story about her husband who was robbed by some Chechens in Moscow on his first day there. He had just gone to the convenience store to buy some stuff and when he walked out the store he was pulled into the alley and had a knife placed next to his throat. He of course gave all his cash to them. It was only when he went to his hotel to ask for help that the staff told him this was a common modus operandi by the Chechen gangs there. This was about 10 years or so ago and it gave me the impression that Moscow might not be that safe. What are your views about this?

    As a Singaporean, looking at the war from outside, and watching on youtube independent intrepid travellers to Ukraine - yes, it's still open to intl travels - showing us how people and children there are affected by the drone bombings, I can't help but feel Putin feels his own people's lives (sending untrained Russian men to war) as well as those of Ukranians are worthless to him. He's no different from the Nazis. This is a pointless war and hope it will come to an end soon, with participation of whichever countries that could act as mediators for peace.

I do that when i'm walking at a zebra crossing, if there's no people behind me and i just quickly let all the cars go ahead first, it's quite poor thing waiting for slow pedestrians who take their own sweet time 😅
