      Principal who made the comment about tax payers money wanted not wrong. If you think that the school fees that you pay can cover the cost of your education, you are really wrong too and have really taken things for granted. Even as a foreigner or PR, the school fees that you pay are but a fraction of what our government has invested in you! If you as a foreigner do not treasure that place that our public school system has set aside for you, another foreigner might need or appreciate it much better. We only heard her side of the delivery, we did not hear how the message was spoken by the principal. No principal will pull you into his or her office if you are a first time offender. She might have been late many times and was finally caught. Art of selective editing....

    Can really relate. My parents came from China to Singapore for work purposes and took on PR. I was born here and stayed a PR until primary 3 I took on Singapore citizenship. At age 21 I revoked my Chinese citizenship. I faced the most discrimination in my neighbourhood primary school where girls loudly whispered about how I sound different and my form teacher shamed me in front of the class for nothing. I hated parent teacher meetings because other kids will trail behind my dad, pointing fingers and giggling about how different he is. They punned on my name and said I'm sb that is not wanted. I used to feel extremely inferior of being China Chinese and felt angry towards my parents - why weren't they the normal regular Singaporean Chinese parents like the other kids' parents? I went as far as being overly defensive and denying my ties with China for many many years.
    This fear of being discriminated continues into my higher education, but soon I realize that it seems to only occur in a particular social circle where people are more ignorant. I grew to be more comfortable with my other "nationality", and eventually proud of it (like how the guy at the end puts it, if you can't change it why not be proud of it).

I did joined Myanmar students activities while I was a student but I felt uncomfortable and out of place during the activities. I felt more comfortable to join local CCA activities and felt like I belonged more in them just like my local friends.
    And also I love NS, it’s part of affirmation that I truly belonged to SG.

Now I'm back at Spain, the country I consider as "home", but sadly being an immigrant doesn't give you the right to say it openly. In a few years I can ask for the Spanish nationality and then I will have both. The sad part comes when someone asks me where I am from because I can just answer where I was born. People in Chile were also very angry when they knew I didn't feel at home there...

I always told my friends that I was Malaysian. I visited Malaysia twice a year annually. And I have so many stories of Malaysian relatives in my mind. Yet, now that I'm nearly thirty, I can't help but love Singapore for what it is and has become to be, under the leadership of it's seen. I would say that at the end of the day, I'm same same but different. But then, aren't we all? The diversity in Sg is what makes us so amazing.

    Coming from a similar background as most of them, my family moved here to Singapore only just after a few months after I was born in the same SEA country as two of the lovely people in the video (they're all lovely!) , raised in Singapore context, going through the education system, national service, naturalizing as a citizen etc. But it often feels as if we are still not really accepted, having once being told ''Singapore only has Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian, your people can't be true Singaporean'' when we claim to identify as a Singaporean. Despite going through the efforts of trying harder to assimilate, even took Chinese as a mother tongue since primary school and speaking it with peers and colleagues on a near daily basis , the general feeling most of us get is that we're outsiders to both Singapore and the country of birth. We relate more to the average Singaporean than to the 'newcomers' despite being of the same race, who unfortunately calls us out for betrayal.

    I relate lol. That feeling of not belonging anywhere is real. My parents suddenly decided to move from China here and I have really no preparation for what Singapore is like. Growing up I always felt the need to "fake it till you make it" cuz I didn't really understand why I felt different and couldn't relate. I was always putting up a front and pretending to know what people were talking about and trying to be like them until years later when I realised I've kinda lost my original identity. After trying so hard to assimilate I suppose I'm no longer Chinese enough to really blend in in China but at the same time not really Singaporean Singaporean. And because I'm south Chinese, I don't speak Chinese with a stereotypical "China accent" and I get the "you're not really China" comment a lot lol. Even within China I don't really fit anywhere because my parents are from different parts of China so I didn't really have a "hometown" and didn't have the opportunity to be really exposed to any of their cultures.

    The thing with presumptions about people from China consuming exotic or wild game is because there are still practices, maybe not amongst the younger generation, but with people age 40+ there's still traces left. Like in North Eastern China (东北), selling dog meat and wild game is still common. I was looking up my friend's address and found several dog meat shops nearby so I asked her and she said her dad and older relatives still occassionally consume dog meat and it's not uncommon per se over there.

    Dont align yourself with a country. Align yourself in principles and values. Majority of people around the world are more similar than they think. Also I feel that immigrants dont have to choose sides. Just integrate best of both into yourself.

    It’s funny cos I moved out from Singapore, raised elsewhere. Having moved back here for my job, Singapore feels really foreign to me

    I’m same kind as them and I agree their opinion towards the situation of being people came from other countries to SG and take the SG citizenships. Thanks to this video as it supports my idea of loving both born country and SG has nothing wrong.

      Take sg citizenship without a backup aka not able to become citizens of birth country once drop, is ok. I welcome you. But if you become citizen, being able to go back whenever you want, is just gaming the system. For Malaysian, the husband remain Malaysian, while wife become singaporean, to get Singapore benefits while able to buy cheap car and house back in Malaysia.

    I think it has improved. I came Singapore since sec 1 in 2016 and I am in JC now. Generally, students actually find it rather interesting that I come from Vietnam rather than making fun of me and stuffs. When I went for part time job, people didn’t have any bad attitude towards me, they are only surprised that I can’t speak Chinese. I think that should be the way to go because people are being so much better compared to what they told in this video.
