Which is better?
Hong Kong was better until it lost its freedom so I'd say Singapore now
We, are lucky no human Rights Law ,here.Messy ppl always create stress, problems to handle.
Love to explore China in recent years as Hong Kong loss its traditions charm lifehood
I am happy to born in SG.as my father n grandma were migrants from WW 2..Our gov .make sure all citizens have a place called HOME.
@@audreyang902 yes
I have visited both and I live in Canada. I definitely liked Singapore more.
I love them both, Singapore 🇸🇬 and Hong Kong 🇭🇰, but I would chose to live in Singapore for the cleanliness, less overcrowdedness compared to Hong Kong and its strict public regulations.
I love and support them both straight from Brazil. 🇧🇷💖🇸🇬🇭🇰
Much love to Brazil from Singapore!
@@bluexecutor6635 thanks
I live in HK now and in Macau before; I'd like to visit your country in the future when my Portuguese becomes better!
@@troy5094 What a crowd, so come and visit, especially Recife, where I live.
@@rosivaldoburgos559 Recife is not a name I hear often in East Asia! Will definitely add that to my bucket list
مشاء الله عليك هدشي زوين الله اعطيك صحة بتوفيق
Singapore have a half million strong military...
不要提军事力量了，香港可有中国驻军。往大了说，是整个中国军队。
And Singapore has no nuclear weapons
@@ianlo6145
Yes indeed, but have Military defence Agreements such as 5 power defence Agreements with United Kingdom 🇬🇧 British, Australia 🇦🇺, New Zealand 🇳🇿, United States 🇺🇸 and Malaysia 🇲🇾 to help defend Singapore 🇸🇬 since Independence on August 9th 1965.
Other Countries such as India 🇮🇳 ,Japan and Germany 🇩🇪 All sell Weapons and allowed Military Training Grounds for Singapore Military SAF to train Together to boost defence bilateral Ties with Tanks, Fighter jets etc.
Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR have No defence Capability on itself and have to depend on Mainland China for defence.
@@user-kt7sm4qj2o ya cuz Hk is China
As a mainland Chinese living in HK it's hilarious when you put footage of the Shanghai metro while saying "I've been to Singapore Changi Airport"
Very objective video nonetheless and I would definitely like to visit Singapore one day
I noticed that too!! I was wondering "Hmm... this looks neither like Singapore nor Hong Kong" 💀💀💀
@@javacat_ 其實上海地鐵個service都幾好，只不過磁懸浮（相當於浦東機場快線）太蝕錢
Singapore 🇸🇬 and Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR are Both Former British Colonies and Singapore 🇸🇬 became Independent on August 9th 1965 while Hong Kong was still British Crown colony till return back to China 🇨🇳 on July 1st 1997.
Singapore is well organized but I like to travel more on HK since you can do a lot of things in HK compared to SG and the winter and hiking in HK make it more interesting which u cant do it in SG but if you want a safer place SG is the best place..
You can hike in sg
@@WithYourArms prolly for kids.. not even high to get sweat
@@meow7331 not in a high mountain hike, mild hike with a family in bukit timah hill
You'll definitely sweat! There is definitely more nature that'd surprise you.@@meow7331
Singapore 🇸🇬 has Recovery from Covid 2019 pandemic was Very Remarkable and Now with Restrictions lifted and hosting of Major Events such as Recent Formula 1 Grand prix Night Race 🏁 etc.
If you have the money to live in Hong Kong then go for it it’s worth it it’s safe , convenient (but if your rich then you probably won’t go on the MTR) it’s also good for shopping food is alright
If you don’t have the money Singapore is also a good choice it cheap and affordable
(I live in Hong Kong)
I thought singapore more expensive than Hong kong- based on my experience in both country
Also got casinos hk got nothing only race course sha tin.we in sg got bit of everything.
@@peterlee6148 you could just go to Macau Hong Kong’s neighbor
Two well respected nations! Would love to visit/live in both of them!
Love from Hong Kong
Nation?i don't think hk got independence
@@masimuseebatvlogs just a small fish town of China
I would just like to add that the main reason for all this unhappiness, and abundance of millionaire/billionaires in Hong Kong compared with Singapore is because the HKD is pegged 1 : 1 to the USD, US prints a shit load of money with plenty of demand overseas as it is the world reserve currency, while in HK, all that excess cash goes to bid up housing prices, stock markets, and high inflation which makes people super unhappy.
Hence, HK is full of the super rich because of the 5 times market cap it has compared with SG stock markets, and also it has BVI, a tax heaven for the rich from China to park their tax free cash
@@Backup_of_Hajins_videos which country you're gonna leave?
Which country should I chose If i want to save more money?
I will choose Singapore because I live there
Singapore. It is a democracy unlike HK which has slipped into hybrid regime status.
Sg is more well planned, less haphazard, more cosmopolitan / multi racial, safer & more rational, cost of living not necessary higher than HK. Citizens have affordable spacious housing / subsidized flats. Govt cared for the people but HK legislation favors the rich.
@H L and Singapore govt favours the rich (corporations) too!
Singapore ❤️
Hong Kong is a city not a country
Dare to walk down the street of Hong Kong see if the Hong Kongers think Hong Kong is a country or a city? In my eyes Hong Kong is a country yet the inconvenient truth is it is a sub colony of communist China.
It is a special administrative region of china
I always thought there's something between Singapore and Hongkong
where to collect video clips?
I have many clips because I am from Hong Kong 😍😎
I like singapore a Bit more
Hong Kong is no longer a top sea port - Singapore is second behind Shanghai while Hong Kong is 6th and is handling far less containers than she did in the 1990s.
Hk is also lagging behind sg in other indicators lol!
Singapore 🇸🇬 has the World Best International Airport and its logistics services hubs too besides Oil chemicals hub too with Big oil Conglomerates such as Shell, Texaco etc and middle Eastern clients investors to Singapore 🇸🇬 boosted up Singapore as an Oil storage facilities, Refineries as bases.
@H L HK port is not in the top 4. It is handling what it used to handle in early 1990s. China doesn’t need HK’s investment in their ports. HK serves no purpose other than to service China.
@H L Singapore is 2nd and beat Shanghai last year - Singapore, all by itself, has grown by >50% since the 1990s. Shanghai and all the other ports serve the whole PRC. You want to compare Singapore with those Chinese ports combined? “HK no longer have to be in the too 4”? Can HK be in the top 4 if it wants to be? Anyway you are just arguing for the seek of arguing. Am done with you nincompoopery.
@H L The Singapore port is the world’s busiest container transhipment facility, offering maritime trade connectivity with 600 seaports in over 100 countries. Also, Singapore port is one of the largest bunkering facilities in the world.
It comprises 84 berths spread across 6 major port terminals. Presently, the port receives 130,000 vessel calls annually.
A fully mechanised terminal is also being constructed at Tuas, expected to be completed by 2040, with a handling capacity of 65 million TEUs.Upon completion, it would be the largest fully-mechanised terminal facility in the world.
The port’s terminals are equipped to handle diverse bulk, breakbulk, liquid and containerised cargo. They efficiently handle oil, petroleum products, natural gas, cement, automobiles, machinery etc. An important terminal is located at Jurong which mainly deals with steel, cement, and copper slag. The Pasir Panjang Terminal can handle the biggest container ships with more than 12,000 TEUs.
The port offers an array of services to its national and international customers, including ship repairs and maintenance, cold storage facilities, container washing, and container tracking.
I live in Hong Kong
Singapore is well protected from typhoons, earthquake...
Because it’s near to the equator
Not really... We are also very near to the ring of fire.
It’s because of Indonesia and Philippines blocking everything
@@johnj1602 No we are not!
Singapore 🇸🇬 is a Sovereign Independent Country with its own Defence, Laws and Territories waters 💧 and like Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR, Are Surrounded by bigger Countries.
I like the Hong Kong 30 years ago. Now Hong Kong is not like before. Night market many shops closed. Also I don’t like to share table with strangers during dining.
What exactly is the comparison here between a country and a city? One is a city well-protected while one is a country who has always been on it's own, from protecting it's home to striving hard to becoming a strong country. Being relatively similar, I think the biggest disadvantage here is Singapore's weather. One is a country with trees for shades and one is a city with buildings for shade.
Only 25% of Hong Kong is developed but over 75% of Singapore is developed. “Trees for shade” should be more appropriate for hk
@@stalexeve Do you want that title for HK too? Give it to you too then. I only know I kept walking under a lots of buildings and people everywhere. I don't see trees because I don't go to the mountain area for trees.
Singapore is like the model student who does well in every aspect. Hong Kong is more like that one rogue genius who studies 40 hours a day
As a Singaporean
Im very sorry but i have to choose hk because of weather but if anything ill choose china
You didn't bother to compare military size. Singapore if activate the entire reserve army. There's 1mil+ troops that are trained for years.
I love both of they but I think china is my fav so is be hk
Both Singapore 🇸🇬 and Hong Kong 🇭🇰 are Surrounded by Bigger Nations.
Hong Kong is my city so I go with Hong Kong. But love Singapore.
Singapore
Singapore an orphan being kicked out and Hong Kong a legitimate child return to her parent. one is a country the other is a city. Both has its good and beauty.
Sorry, could you state what planet you are living upon? Have you considered having a nice sanity test done? Could your medical people see if you have had a serious brain injury?
I'm.. 50 a.n.d m.y. husband 54 we are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no dept's. Currently living smart and frugal with our money.serving and investing life style in the stock market made it possible for us this early even till now we earn weekly. Thanks to fire movement.
Great job with your husband! I bet you are living your best life right now.
@Altcoin Daily Fire means Financial Independence Retire Early.
It's been a movement teaching people financial independence and how to retire debt free through solid investment and frugal lifestyle.
@@Amanda-rs6pd Your story is inspiring I'm 38 trying to achieve this goal you achieved.share some tips please so others can actually learn.
You haven't still share any idea on how you earn weekly.
@@mylesginvestment5033 I can share some that helped me.
1:plan towards it.
2:be frugal and minimal on spending.
3:spend your money on investment.
4:chose your trade analys wisely.
5:invest with a professional trader like Mr Dennis my trade analyst
Speaking of investment how can I start a profitable one?
Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR have threats of Strong Tropical Storms and Typhoons attacks.
Doesn't Singapore have an authoritarian government that doesn't really allow freedom of speech? Not trying to argue, just curious. Also Hong Kong isn't really that much better now with the National Security Bill, but still. Both cities look amazing, personally I'm not sure which one to pick, tho I am a bit biased towards Hong Kong, it looks more vibrant and it has the best scenery I've seen with the lush green mountains, the sea, all the little bays and islands and the tall skyscrapers
it's more fun in HK, i live in Singapore, and visit HK for leisure. There's little to do here.
Singaporeans don't fight with their police
@H L no it's because the Singapore police are also ordinary SG people...We have national service..Besides HKers are frustrated because they're not even a proper country just a part of China
@H L precisely, Hongkongers cannot vote out those idiots who created this problem because it is not a proper country
Both cities are great, both have freedom and liberty,
One city have freedom,
Freedom to storm and vandalise the Parliament;
Freedom to beat up whoever not agree with you;
Freedom to take away other people's freedom;
Freedom stone and burn, hurt and kill innocent people;
Freedom to disregard law and order.
Another city have liberty,
Liberty of being able to walk the streets freely, particularly if you’re a woman or a child, at any time of the night;
Liberty of living in a city that is not defined by its most disorderly elements;
Liberty of having the opportunity for an education and a job, regardless of your race or social background;
Liberty of practising your religion without fear of bigotry or discrimination.
Which city you will chose ?
I'm gonna be completely honest, I was surprised to hear that HK is safer than SG
Singapore is an orphaned country, kicked OUT of Malayan Federation in 1965 to be independent unwillingly, have to work very hard to sustain the current prosperity. HK is not a country but has a strong parent - China, they should treasure the relation.
China not as strong as you think.so many problems that were swept under the carpet
are starting to pop.worst is yet to come.
I belive Hong kong will better then Singapore in the future.
Hong Kong - would love to live in
Singapore- would love to visit
Its the opposite dude! Hk so crammed and flats so small.
You got it the other way round though.
you must be joking
I live in Hong Kong and to be honest, flats in Hong Kong are expensive as hell, a house which is around 500 square feet will be around 12-15k hkd.
Singapore 🇸🇬 has more Open Space field and has land to build bigger Bus 🚌 Interchange Stations and Terminals islandwide.
Singapore 🇸🇬 has Host many Major Events such as Formula 1 Grand prix Night Races 🏁 and had recently hosted the Formula 1 Grand prix Night Race on September 28th 2022.
If you think Singaporeans are efficient & fast workers, Hongkongers work much faster & are always in a hurry.
But speed and quality are different matters altogether.
Singaporeans are slower in walking only, but we are more productive than HongKongers. Just look at the GDP (PPP) for productivity! Singapore has always been more efficient than HongKongers. Sorry to break the bubble!
HK is efficient but may not be effective.
Even though I’m from Hong Kong, I had to give it to Singapore, I appreciate that place a lot. This video was posted 1 year ago, Hong Kong would’ve won if we didn’t have political issues with China. For example, Hong Kong’s happiness massively decreased because of China’s takeover, our gdp also massively decreased because of many citizens immigrated into other countries because of political issues. Same with pollution and quality of life.
Singapore is better than HK. Clean, anti-corruption government which sincerely cares for the people. LKY brought Singapore from 3rd world to 1st world in one generation, building affordable housing for the people and educating the workforce. You may say our streets are clean because of littering fine but cleanliness has already been ingrained in us from young. It is not our habit to litter even when we are in foreign countries without littering fines. We also do well without chewing gum sticking on lift buttons or train seats. Singapore is the clear winner.
As a Hong Konger, I feel like Hong Kong is better, since China sit right next to us and you can take one of those high speed trains to reach Shanghai or Beijing in a few hours. Singapore is too small and always under the threat of Malaysia or Indonesia.
Hong Kong has clearly lost after the introduction of the nsl into HK,there is no freedom left there
Singapore 🇸🇬 Military SAF is also one of the World most Advanced Sosphisicated Military forces and trained with Foreign Military forces in England 🇬🇧, Australia 🇦🇺, India 🇮🇳 and United States 🇺🇸 as shown on the National Day parades and Army Open House.
One of the higher per capita users of the death penalty in world. I would never live in Singapore as it feels so repressive over there.
Singapore has been described as "Disneyland with a death penalty". I live in Hong Kong and even now China has clamped down on freedoms here, it still feels much less repressive than Singapore. I would not want to live there even though it is more properous.
@@DennisLam-tr5de What do you mean that you get hang without possessing it? I am a Singaporean and our laws were and are always talking about evidences. So can I hear your explanation and that I may be enlighten. 🤔
The death penalties and repressions in Singapore allow your daughter, wife, sister or mother to walk home alone at 3am without you having to worry.
I love hong kong.
Hong Kong > Singapore
Singapore incredible, it’s much younger than Hong Kong in terms of development
hongkong is more developed
Live in Singapore. Visit Hong Kong (unless you can afford rich people housing). End of.
The simplest fact is that Singapore is a standalone tiny island so when there is war with neighbour, this country is dead worth no doubt; hk meanwhile is part of China and will get support from the mainland China government when there is any financial or military threaten. Now Singapore is doing much better but in the long run, I doubt it will do well forever
Singapore is a country with diplomatic relationship all over the world, which HK does not have. Singapore decides her own fate whereas China decides HK's fate. That's the difference.
@@markloy2913 not true, Singapore dares not mess up with either China nor US. Plus 80% of Singapore is Chinese. Without the rich Chinese flowing the capital to SG, SG will soon become an dead island.
@@AY-dl1wc I am talking about political situation which Singapore has played a well balanced game with the US and China and India and EU. We don’t put all our eggs in one basket unlike HK who depends solely on property and financial speculation, and of course on China direction. One is a country and the other, a province of China. No comparison needed actually.
@@markloy2913 only SG believes the way it fools around all parties work “in a balance”. It will catch fire one day. At some point SG needs to make decision but I think it already did. One day we will see, maybe it will decline way faster than Hk, as now Hk is not even in the top 5 GdP cities in China.
HK proving air quality has a zero bearing on life expectancy, smoke up people 😂
Singapore mandarin Chinese while Hongkong Cantonese chinese
pre-2023 HONG KONG is much better than sg....great food ... fook lam moon....free n independent media n newspapers , independent courts , freedom of speech n movement, every opportony 2 make money...no restrictions, minimum govt intervention...wan chai, 007 bar etc...beautiful harbour.....
Without the British and Americans, Hongkong is nothing. The Yanks in cahoots with the Brits gave HK special consideration in trade, sports and other aspects as most of their riches were parked in laundromat accounts and shares in HK companies. Most of CCP dirty money goes thru HK too. In most cases in every survey by western nations HK (as the illegitimate offspring) gets fave reviews every time without fail. Shanghai who performs better almost always do not get star billing. The HKD is even weaker than the RMB. My opinion only.
Hong Kong wouldn’t be a developed place, not would be nothing. If it is true then without Europeans, America would be nothing, without Africa the world (Africa excluded) would be nothing.
Without the aggression, colonization, termination & enslavement of Africa, America and Asia, , US, UK & Europe are nothing
Then the US is nothing if the British didn’t discover them. What a dumb comment
@simroysten7963 You were spot on. When Hong Kong was under the British, they were always given the best review. The Americans must support Hong Kong, so the British will also support American. When Hong Kong prosper, the wealth goes to the British. That is how the British benefits. That is also how Singapore was thriving until, when the British dump Singapore, we have to start from scratch. The People of Hong Kong is still clinging to the fact that they did well on their own.
I don't understand why Hong Kong wants to be free from China. They are so similar esp. their attitude and behaviour. Singapore is so much different of course in term of the weather. If you talk about places of interest, I rather go somewhere else rather than Hong Kong even if there's nothing much in Singapore.

Singapore 🇸🇬 is one of the World largest ownership of Cars and Motorcycles.
Every win that Singapore adores wil be eliminated when you know Hong Kong has the lowest tax rate in the world.That eventually means you can save a lot more than Singapore living in a better weather.
That is not true! I lived and worked in HK for 15 years. I paid far more taxes in HK than in Singapore. Singapore income taxes are prorated with a wider income range compared to HK. In Singapore, if your annual income is equivalent to HKD200, 000 ( approximately S$35,000), you pay only 2% of your first taxable income of S$20,000 and 3.5% of your next taxable income of S$30, 000. Compared to 17% in HK. If your annual income is S$120,000 (HKD700,000), you pay only 15% prorated in total compared to HK, which is 17% of 720,000 less the allowed individual deductions. Only recently, Singapore income tax has gone up to the highest 22% for indovidual from 17%, which only affects the high income group (annual income of S$160,000 and above). So, in this example, your take-home pay is higher in Singapore. There's another difference working in Singapore compared to HK. In Singapore, there is AWS, meaning a 13 month annual wage supplement, which is absent in HK. This is different from annual bonuses, which is a practice in Singapore and HK.
@@johnchua9387 yes my apologizes! I had not enough information back then. I mean 7 months ago! I was just a desperate searcher for a university where I can get a scholarship. So I found in google that hk has less tax rate. But now I know you're absolutely true. Anyway, I'm gonna start my undergraduate in Hong Kong Polytechnic University in Accounting & Finance. I understand you are way senior than me. But if there any chances that I can be connected with you in other social media like whatsapp of Instagram maybe?
@nayemMmm It's OK. Don't worry about it. Wish you the best of luck in your studies.
wow! china owns 2 different amazing cities.
if you are referring to Hong Kong and Macau then yes. Singapore is in Southeast Asia, it is nowhere near China, has never been subject to a claim of sovereignty by China and is more aligned with the US than with China. The National Langauge of Singapore is Malay, while the working language is English (note that none of the above is Mandarin), the head of State is a Malay, the first President is a Malay and the US has had a naval presence at its port for over 4 decades due to a logistics contract.
Hope you have learnt something new today.
@@johnlzr Hardly, Singapore is the near perfect antithesis of PRC.
Singapore was never historically part of China FYI and never will be - China has no legal historical, sovereign or territorial claims to Singapore like it has on Hong Kong
Perhaps you want to go read histories about the 2 countries first before making yourself look silly :)
@@johnlzr About 76% of Singapore's population are ethnically Chinese. Since 2013, China has been Singapore's largest trading partner, and Singapore has been China's largest foreign investor. In particular, Singapore is highly dependent on external trade, and has close trade ties with China. In 2020, Singapore's imports and exports with China accounted for 14% of its total trade.
Hope you have learnt something new today
