Wherever you go, racism will always be there. Of course you're seeing at the view of an expat, not in Singaporeans' shoe. It is partly due to government policies that results in the influx of foreigners coming into Singapore to work. You can do some diggings in forums why Singaporeans absolutely detest certain groups of people, especially those who brought their own culture that doesn't fit into our social norms or referring people from their hometown to 'steal' works from locals via their own interest group or getting companies that can help find ways to get a permit easily. These are just some of the factors that partially contributes into it.
I love my country. I dont earn above 4k, i dont own a car, i live in HDB n i get to travel n the food is cheap. I just cant stand the weather. Not too bad but 20-28c max better...
To understand racism among Indians from India, you must understand their caste system. The "upper" caste will never respect the "lower" caste and they bring along this mentality to any country they visit. It's worse when they reside in that country. They even look down on the resident Indians.
Hi Swizzyinsg, I do fully agree that Singapore may not have some of the things, but boring place no no is depend on what you want. I got friends from Norway after working here for few years he decided to have kids. And he told us that his wife and him decided to make Singapore their second home.
1. Well of course Singapore cannot give subsidies to foreigners for house purchase. Singapore is so damn small. If people start owning house so easily than where are Singaporean going to live.. sigapore is not a place to for a lot of ppl to begin with but our gov is pushing their luck. 2. I would say if anyone needs a car, they are families..otherwise the train is easy to use in Singapore. 3..Most older.generation are so racist mo matter their race.
Thise of us earning more also dont get subsidies. They r for helping poorer ppl. I also suffered racism during covid while walking around d neighbourhood. Indian expat men n even wonen looked down on me as being female n low caste! We chinese dont have caste, it depends on ur profession, whether it helps or harms others.
What do you expect from a v small country like Spore. Please be aware of the smallness, weather etc. Racism is everywhere. Whilst i was working in UK. They blatantly looked you n pass nasty remarks. Sidney same too. As a Chinese, even the sales person looked at you in a very unfriendly gesture. Certainly as a westerner life wud be better in yr big countries with beautiful landscapes. Though S'pore is v small but it has safety, good governance, food n transportation. I won't blame them for leaving as they hv good reasons for wanting to find a partner etc. All the best!
Language is an issue for most foreigners. People in Singapore speak a local dialect--Hakka, Hokkien, Teochew, etc. There is A LOT of small talk at the wet market, on the bus, at shopping malls, etc., just less in English. Why judge local norms and languages through English? Malaysians, the biggest immigrant group in Singapore, have no issue with small talk using dialects. Racism is less pervasive in Singapore than other countries due to excellent political leadership, but it does exist sadly, particularly towards blue collar workers.
hi, its been a while since you posted your comment, but if you see this i wanted to ask that if i take the initiative to learn mandarin will that help me interact better with the locals and understand and adapt better to singapore's culture and way of life? also which chinese dialect is most commonly used
Living in Europe ..Winter is not for me. Spring is season of allergies. Summer is dry n hot n Autumn is miserable. Racism in very subtle ways towards me. My skin is so thick now that I fight back. But Buddha says I must have love n patience w all races. Glad you are happy in Singapore.. lots of positive energy 😊
Unfortunately, racism happens in all societies and this is true for Singapore and racism do exist among locals. The racism most people experienced in Singapore are usually non-violent where it is more common in the Western world. Also sometimes it is not necessary racism, but xenophobia, which is probably more likely the case especially if it has do with foreigners, for example even local indians might dislike India's indians or even local chinese might not like China's Chinese due to cultural differences. However we have strict laws against racism and xenophobia which you don't see that being uphold in many countries around the world. It is impossible to get rid of racism and xenophobia because these are social issues that will persist due to different individual perceptions and values, however it can be minimized through education and civil laws.
hmm, my experience was different. US was the worst experience. Europe was not so bad and I even made several friends from there. It depends on the countries too.
some of the comments are valid and are known before they came. Some are quite weird like does foreigners expect subsidies when they are not exactly not low earning,are they? Racism is everywhere...Singapore is probably not severe but just my opinion
Growing up in Singapore in the 90s, we have moral education as a mandatory subject in primary school, kindness campaign on the TV screen and ads everywhere. For generations, people growing up in Singapore are encouraged to be considerate to others. Rather than racism, foreigners from other backgrounds, or people who were not influenced by the spirit of kindness, are more likely to experience discrimination, or feeling out of place when they are excercising their perceived human rights, and believes social harmony should be inclusive of their behavior with no awareness that they are being intrusive. When in doubt, just ask nicely. If we ask sincerely, I'm sure there will be people who are willing to explain whether its racism or perhaps a habit that is affecting the people around.
Racism is common in Singapore, but not openly due to racial discrimination act under Article 12 the Constitution Republic of Singapore. In all over the World they openly condemn or discriminate towards ethnic or religion. Such in Singapore ones they recorded and file in police report. That’s it 😂fine or jail term. Allot of Singaporean may or may not like other ethnic groups. The racism is very low compared to other countries which openly say whatever they want. Singapore is tolerance country. Don’t worry be happy 😃
The problem is on tt Indian because we have india from Malaysia,Vietnam, Thailand , etc… we don’t have problem . I think this india is problematic india . That y he felt racism here. I think everywhere he go , he will carry along racism.
I don't find it is racism but certainly, some races take more care of their own compared to others especially if that person has a certain power in their position.
Hi Swizzyinsg, Why do I see many western people do not wash their hand before eating foods like bread or pizza. Using water it more clean, It cleans the area thoroughly and you can (and should) use soap to clean your hand after that. Why it not become habit to western people? because i believe they know about this
Many expat want to live here, but they have to move back to their country because of the new compass policy. Getting new job with minimum salary is becoming tough for many😢
That's absolutely nonsense with regards to the MRT. In London, Hong Kong, Japan, Paris etc subways no one talks to one another @ all. Everyone is minding their own business!
@@SwizzyinsgYou're giving wrong information in your videos on and off all these while. In the Paris metro, tensions are high inside the train. There're pick pockets to look out for n these pick pocketers worked together in groups, you've to look out for terrorist attacks or a crazy guy who will suddenly start stabbing people. Commuters in the train won't be casually chatting FYI...
Another reason is the cost of education for foreigners' children. It cost $20,00 to $50,000 a year per child. For adventure, we can always take a short trip out of the country.
I can understand why there’s no subsidised on housing because some foreigners will take advantages . Locals will face issue. There are a lot of properties already owned by wealthy foreigners here. As for owning a car , I personally view - is not necessary. Public transport save u a lot of money than owning a car. Car Maintenance is a big issue, why 10 year validity because certain model cannot get spare parts. Do a bit of math n you will understand. As for racism, why only India voice up and not others race ??????.
You can get subsidies in health care and buy house in Singapore if you married a Singaporean man, 2nd don't be so chosey with finding partner in Singapore surely can find one.
Yes i do agree about the unfair amount of racism against Indians. Even Singaporean's ethnic Indians are racist against Native Indians. But to be fair, i have met many remarkable Indians in Singapore till date. and i would say that while some locals are racist in their closed door remarks, they are generally not hateful against indians
There are a lot of deleted comments in reddit sg where Singaporeans complain of racism by Indian nationals against locals in the MNCs. Especially in FINANCE and IT
Quite interesting that people feel that time flies by due to the lack of seasons... personally I feel that instead of the weather, the different holidays and festivals mark the seasons... eg Christmas, New years, Deepavali, Labour Day, Mid-autumn Festival
How long have you lived in SG so far? Did you apply for PR? Did you get it? They made it quite difficult to get PR in recent years, so this is one of the main reasons people leave because without it life is hard and expensive in SG.
Regarding finding partners in Singapore, i would say that its quite a dividing experience amongst the expats community. My expats friends have foundd partners in the local community, while those who dont find local partners find it hard to get a partner here. So making compromises to integrate into the local community might be required here. (And a smart policy for integration imo)
Its a Hokkien-dominated society; those arent in this category obviously face various challenges. If you're from Fujian or consider yourself as Hokkein Hockchew then obviously no racism or trouble finding partners in Singapore. They most likely wont have trouble finding partners in taiwan, Malaysia, Japan, and SK. This is like caucasian British/Scottish most likely wont find no racism in USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Having a car is quite troublesome in SG if u are not always traveling to places not covered by public transport. U need to find a parking lot and backtrack to pick up your car. You can't just go to nearby mrt to continue your journey. Of course one can't live without a car in USA, as there is little or not public transport in some places. When u r here, u need to adapt. U gain some lose some. Those reasons are all valid depending on your priorities. Swizzy becomes ambassadoress of SG. Try to explain things that westerners esp Europeans don't understand about SG. People here do engage in conversation with strangers just for your info. Some races are more sensitive in SG. SG is not for everyone.
Another reasons. People with dependent Pass cannot work anymore, lots of Family came to Singapore with one salary hoping that the other partner will find a job and they find out that it is becoming almost impossible. Many expat wives are having a hard time dealing with this and at the end they end up leaving.
Well 😅 everyone do have their own choices pick what they like and want where they want to stay, looking a partner is not easy, now have so many types of app fb, ig can date online, i had saw someone who date online and got married 🎉. Well it’s May had some scan inside, you also have to be careful on that not because you need to find a partner to get into blind date 😂😅. If they like buying a apt😅🤔 they need to be a PR or Became singaporean.
If you are only willing to date Westerners or within your race...complaining the dating scene here sucks...is not quite valid. What do you expect? Singapore is an Asian country in Asia, of course the dating pool will be predominantly Asians. It is like an Asian moving to Europe and complaining about the dating scene there because they only want to date Asians in Europe...
Did you hear comments that Singapore has become excessively expensive? I think the recent spike in rent has resulted in many expats questioning their purpose of working in Singapore.
Our govt is only trying to attract certain ppl into Sg, so obviously it’s not a place for many others… especially those who are not so rich, not fluent in English, without the needed qualifications, who love nature and adventure….as a Singaporean, I’m happy living in Sg, the hot weather and the good food and if I want to experience other places I can travel…
imho the true reason is still cost. rent increase 50% n healthcare too. guess as foreigner has to find way to manage e.g. company subsidies healthcare. with regard to indian racism, it cuts both ways. i dealt with indian IT professionals for 25yrs. they were ok , humble n willing to learn but the last 5 or more yrs, quality is bad n quite a lot of super arrogant type. also opposition has drum up sentiments against them.
Foreigners coming to work in Sg needs to buy a good healthcare insurance. After working here for some yrs try to apply for or status. That will b helpful to your pocket.
Thank you to all the expats that had left for contributing to SG economy while you were here. You have made a difference. Wish all the very best in your future endeavours.
@@Swizzyinsg No I really meant it. Whether as an expat staying in an expensive condo or the manual workers toiling under the sun, each had contributed something.
If I am a foreigner, I will love SG. Cheap public transport and hawker centre food is affordable. Very safe and clean As a citizen, I am not happy because high costs of cars and property.
The 4 Singapore myths : 1 Competitive economy - sorry, no. It's a state run enterprise with government regulator operating as for-profit competitors. You're not allowed to compete against or overshadow the government run businesses. They own the market and they own you too. 2 Multi-cultural - sorry, no. Run by Chinese who put Chinese first. Walk into any board meeting or public board and you will notice this. Multi-ethic, OK sure. 3 it's innovative. This is what they say. But SG hasn't produced an innovative business or product in about 3-4 decades. The biggest companies are just knock-offs of other countries ideas. 4 Rule of law. Not really true when the judiciary is elected through the state, independence of the judiciary is highly questionable, the courts are just another wing of the government.
@@___Danny___ creative was alright, but I think the government ended up oersecuting the guy who did it. Thumb drive is a joke. The guy was falsifying the accounts which is really what SG does. Fina cial fraud and money laundering. Trek ended up another Chinese scammer.
It is a situation everyone facing no matter where they are. Different people have different preference and expectation. It is perfectly for them to leave Singapore if they feel it is not the country for them. Anyway there is no perfect country. One thing which is a bit disturbing is "expats feel that they do not enjoy the same benefits as locals". Well if they want the same benefits, just apply to be a Singaporean. Those who feel that way merely wants the best of both world for themselves. They are not genuine in wanting to be a Singaporean. So good they leave.
As a malaysian and having a singaporean sister-in-law and born in johor, i hv some inputs about singapore. Some good some not so good. 1. The size will be a restriction to expand. Reclaiming the sea is not going to help long term. So singapore needs johor land as well as land reclaimation. 2. The people generally are not too friendly. 3. Cars are extremely expensive there. This can be a positive or negative point because public transport becomes efficient. 4. Food is so so
Malaysian like to criticize about Singapore food,however they seem to forget most of those food are cooked by Malaysian, as Singapore F&B 89-90 % workers are from Malaysia.😂😂
@@shadowj3311 did you take the mediocre or good ones? Come on, they cook white bah kut teh for you while black is the original from klang. Btw, I live in klang Town. The origin of bah kut teh.
@@keangwooichoo6138 have go again with this stupid argument, none is original from Malaysia, all you guys can do is steal the credit from others.. history record proof that dish already exists in Singapore since 1920's and Malaysia started at the 30's.
@@keangwooichoo6138 here go again with this stupid argument, none from Malaysia are original, this dish has history record proof that it's existing in Singapore since 1920's and Malaysia only started at the 30's , what Malaysian good at is argued without fact. And don't forget most of people who work in service sector are Malaysian too, when you said those people in Singapore are not too friendly it's has a high possibility are Malaysian.
In SG, I feel nowadays we only care about our day to day issues rather than racism. FT has almost become a part of our life. Of course if FT stay here they have to mingle with the rest of us if not it will be the same everywhere.
Wherever you go, racism will always be there. Of course you're seeing at the view of an expat, not in Singaporeans' shoe. It is partly due to government policies that results in the influx of foreigners coming into Singapore to work.
You can do some diggings in forums why Singaporeans absolutely detest certain groups of people, especially those who brought their own culture that doesn't fit into our social norms or referring people from their hometown to 'steal' works from locals via their own interest group or getting companies that can help find ways to get a permit easily.

You can't just go to nearby mrt to continue your journey. Of course one can't live without a car in USA, as there is little or not public transport in some places. When u r here, u need to adapt. U gain some lose some. Those reasons are all valid depending on your priorities. Swizzy becomes ambassadoress of SG. Try to explain things that westerners esp Europeans don't understand about SG. People here do engage in conversation with strangers just for your info. Some races are more sensitive in SG. SG is not for everyone.
Yes that is true. Thanks for sharing!
They can't afford standard of living here!
Hmm I dont think thats the reason…
You are not the only one that think this way. I been to Europe before. Singapore is still safe n cheaper
Hate when these people call themselves expats yet call certain people foreign workers or immigrants!!!
Hmm whats the diff for you?
Another reasons. People with dependent Pass cannot work anymore, lots of Family came to Singapore with one salary hoping that the other partner will find a job and they find out that it is becoming almost impossible.
Many expat wives are having a hard time dealing with this and at the end they end up leaving.

Well 😅 everyone do have their own choices pick what they like and want where they want to stay, looking a partner is not easy, now have so many types of app fb, ig can date online, i had saw someone who date online and got married 🎉. Well it’s May had some scan inside, you also have to be careful on that not because you need to find a partner to get into blind date 😂😅.
If they like buying a apt😅🤔 they need to be a PR or Became singaporean.
Yes thats true..
welcome to malaysia for a Vlog for free meats n accommodation NEXT WEEK.
😄
If you are only willing to date Westerners or within your race...complaining the dating scene here sucks...is not quite valid. What do you expect? Singapore is an Asian country in Asia, of course the dating pool will be predominantly Asians. It is like an Asian moving to Europe and complaining about the dating scene there because they only want to date Asians in Europe...
Thank you for sharing!
Did you hear comments that Singapore has become excessively expensive? I think the recent spike in rent has resulted in many expats questioning their purpose of working in Singapore.
I dont think thats the reason.. inflation is
Our govt is only trying to attract certain ppl into Sg, so obviously it’s not a place for many others… especially those who are not so rich, not fluent in English, without the needed qualifications, who love nature and adventure….as a Singaporean, I’m happy living in Sg, the hot weather and the good food and if I want to experience other places I can travel…
Thanks for sharing!
May all your wishes come true in your heart feeling soul
Thank you!
@@Swizzyinsg I saw you today at Singapore I want to say hi but shy

Why certain people are targeted ? Their behavior makes other dislike them
@@steventay5834 just sharing my experiences
Lived in spore from 2009-2012, was great initially but got boring and monotonous very soon.
Hmm disagree🤓
Different countries with different behavior or culture.Don't expect everybody to be the same attitude.
I dont expect that
Then why they choose to stay in Singapore in a first place.They should do research before coming here.
Im just sharing my experiences!?
imho the true reason is still cost. rent increase 50% n healthcare too. guess as foreigner has to find way to manage e.g. company subsidies healthcare. with regard to indian racism, it cuts both ways. i dealt with indian IT professionals for 25yrs. they were ok , humble n willing to learn but the last 5 or more yrs, quality is bad n quite a lot of super arrogant type. also opposition has drum up sentiments against them.
Thank you for sharing!
You really don’t want to interact with the people in NyC who want to interact with you on the subways
Why??
Foreigners coming to work in Sg needs to buy a good healthcare insurance. After working here for some yrs try to apply for or status. That will b helpful to your pocket.
Yes!
Secret is to get a PR. Then it will no longer be expensive.
@@warrenlim2461 yessss
Thank you to all the expats that had left for contributing to SG economy while you were here. You have made a difference. Wish all the very best in your future endeavours.
is that irony?
@@Swizzyinsg No I really meant it. Whether as an expat staying in an expensive condo or the manual workers toiling under the sun, each had contributed something.
You can hook me up with anyone that needs a life partner
😎😎
Yes, I am ready to marry anyone that is willing to marry me. I am damn serious.
Good video
Thank you☺️
Taiwan have much better weather.
Havent been :(
@@Swizzyinsg You can try coming to Taiwan. Its much better than Singapore.
If I am a foreigner, I will love SG. Cheap public transport and hawker centre food is affordable. Very safe and clean
As a citizen, I am not happy because high costs of cars and property.
@@steventay5834 yes agree!!
The 4 Singapore myths :
1 Competitive economy - sorry, no. It's a state run enterprise with government regulator operating as for-profit competitors. You're not allowed to compete against or overshadow the government run businesses. They own the market and they own you too.
2 Multi-cultural - sorry, no. Run by Chinese who put Chinese first. Walk into any board meeting or public board and you will notice this. Multi-ethic, OK sure.
3 it's innovative. This is what they say. But SG hasn't produced an innovative business or product in about 3-4 decades. The biggest companies are just knock-offs of other countries ideas.
4 Rule of law. Not really true when the judiciary is elected through the state, independence of the judiciary is highly questionable, the courts are just another wing of the government.
@@matthewpeloso2172 thank you for sharing!
sound card , thumbdrive . period.
@@___Danny___ creative was alright, but I think the government ended up oersecuting the guy who did it. Thumb drive is a joke. The guy was falsifying the accounts which is really what SG does. Fina cial fraud and money laundering. Trek ended up another Chinese scammer.
@@___Danny___ Singapore built by cheaters for cheaters. A hub for money laundering and tax evasion. What should you expect from Chinese people??
It is a situation everyone facing no matter where they are.
Different people have different preference and expectation. It is perfectly for them to leave Singapore if they feel it is not the country for them. Anyway there is no perfect country.
One thing which is a bit disturbing is "expats feel that they do not enjoy the same benefits as locals". Well if they want the same benefits, just apply to be a Singaporean. Those who feel that way merely wants the best of both world for themselves. They are not genuine in wanting to be a Singaporean. So good they leave.
Thank you for sharing☺️
And there's some thai people wishing they'd go to Singapore 😅
Yes it is a great place!😊
Not only Thai people, there are many love Singapore
I can feel you the uncomfortable reserved lifestyle here, well leaving girl !
Who said I am leaving???
@@Swizzyinsg oop I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding 😊
As a malaysian and having a singaporean sister-in-law and born in johor, i hv some inputs about singapore. Some good some not so good.
1. The size will be a restriction to expand. Reclaiming the sea is not going to help long term. So singapore needs johor land as well as land reclaimation.
2. The people generally are not too friendly.
3. Cars are extremely expensive there. This can be a positive or negative point because public transport becomes efficient.
4. Food is so so
Thank you for sharing☺️ but food is so gooood😂
Malaysian like to criticize about Singapore food,however they seem to forget most of those food are cooked by Malaysian, as Singapore F&B 89-90 % workers are from Malaysia.😂😂
@@shadowj3311 did you take the mediocre or good ones? Come on, they cook white bah kut teh for you while black is the original from klang. Btw, I live in klang Town. The origin of bah kut teh.
@@keangwooichoo6138 have go again with this stupid argument, none is original from Malaysia, all you guys can do is steal the credit from others.. history record proof that dish already exists in Singapore since 1920's and Malaysia started at the 30's.
@@keangwooichoo6138 here go again with this stupid argument, none from Malaysia are original, this dish has history record proof that it's existing in Singapore since 1920's and Malaysia only started at the 30's , what Malaysian good at is argued without fact. And don't forget most of people who work in service sector are Malaysian too, when you said those people in Singapore are not too friendly it's has a high possibility are Malaysian.
Great video! Good structure and short and concise :D Keep it up Ma'am!
Tysm!💛
In SG, I feel nowadays we only care about our day to day issues rather than racism. FT has almost become a part of our life. Of course if FT stay here they have to mingle with the rest of us if not it will be the same everywhere.
Yes.. thanks for sharing
