BECOMING A SINGAPORE CITIZEN | I AM SINGAPOREAN
What does it mean to be 'Singaporean?'
Born in the Philippines, Leo Caballes has lived in Singapore as a foreigner, a permanent resident, and now is in two minds when proclaiming himself a citizen.
Throughout his 16 years on our sunny shores, he has learned the hard ropes of migrant integration. A big part of that is adjusting to the xenophobic attitudes of many locals.
As he continues to fight negative stereotypes and a stream of xenophobic comments, he hopes locals will accept Singapore citizens whether native, or migrant.

Leo! I just watched this ❤ I'm sorry some Singaporeans are really not nice. They have nothing nice to say. I'm embarrassed they can be so mean. And I hope you can focus on the good🥰 you are a fantastic person I know and your family are nice people too. Hope we can meet up one day again!

Whether we like it or not, all Singaporeans have foreign roots. Everyone can trace their ancestry to somewhere else in the world.

@@SingaporeOne the first time i went there is for vacation i went to sentosa and some museums back when i was in highschool. now an artist the next 2 times i was there is when we had an exhibition i think it was singapores art week and it was the first time i've seen a country celebrate art, it was an amazing experience everywhere you go you'll see art installations and exhibits. that's the main reason i fell inlove with singapore. I also love the food and accessibility of things is just one metro away. the people also the different culture in harmony with each other is quite uniquely singapore.

Leo, it's not an easy decision just to give up your home land passport for another country passport. Welcome to Singapore. I am sure you have many Singaporean friends.

It doesn't matter whether you are new citizen or native Singaporean , you are already a Singaporean when you receive your pink IC . Just ignore those people who express unwelcome remarks . Yes , they have nothing batter to do . This are the people who are not happy / contented with their life in Singapore.

aren't all friends start as strangers first? lol

@blipblop9094 Жыл бұрын

he said he met a lot of strangers that turned into friends, meaning not all strangers turn into friends. that is different from all friends start as a stranger.

We all have to start somewhere! 🤣
