Isn't Singapore itself a big chinatown?

@@bigsolidboss781 the ethnic Chinese, while being the most populous demographic, is only one of three main ethnic groups in the country, of which also includes the Indians and the indigenous Malays. So no, it's not just one big Chinatown.

@@bigsolidboss781 yes it is 😂

Nope,more like annoying wannabe.

@Five gold star he’s got more talent and has achieved more than you ever will

You forgot the I in i live

Shut up I'm gonna find your house and paint on it

Dank GHØÜL but why? Like that’s my thing I think a lot of these murals are beautiful and should be put on display. I don’t think the artist should struggle to get supplies I think the government can subsidize to help build community art. Hostility makes no sense and you just perform it for no reason.

@@dankghul8328 lmk when you go ill pay for the paint this facist just doesnt understand

I think about this as an issue of art, craft and public space. If we are talking about a plain mass manufactured wall or something like that, I think it should be full of graffitis and tags and whatever. Use that public space to make art or give some pressing matter attention, that's what cities should be for. But I don't understand why someone needs to put that graffiti on a building, that has required work and time from architects, carpenters and builders. You wouldn't go and paint a smiley over someone's piece of art in a gallery either, I hope. Same goes with another person's home. I understand that sometimes the line is impossible to draw, but modern cities have enough space for both. I believe painting everything everywhere actually takes the attention away from the main thing, which should be art and activism.

True, what's there to stop people from turning street art to vandalism

@Matt if you tag a PRIVATE property it's not art it's illegal. You telling me that if i draw a stick figure or poop or a generic penis (with no details) you gonna call that art?

@@fenrirab620 Well, a ugly penis can hardly be compared to some of those beautiful drawings. Especially when they are in public areas :Edit congrats to your nice profile picture ;)

@Matt if its legal its street art if its illegal its graffiti. No matter the quality.

No, graffity is legal in Indonesia

@@TheRealXXDarknezz yea but art is subjective so others might consider it okay, if they only allow certain art then its censorship, V.

Of course the government of Singapore has always discriminated against males. A female will not be sentenced to be brutalized as the barbarity (Singapore is the only place in the world to beat men in it's armed services also) is only reserved for the male gender.

@@ginawilson3591 organize a protest like women do in USA

Unfortantly in Singapore, most protesting or holding "cause related events" is illegal and is not a protected right of the citizens the way it is in the U.S. The only way to legally hold any protest is through a licence issued by authorities. Even though it says in Article 14 of the Constitution of Singapore, specifically "Article 14(1), guarantees and protects Singaporeans the rights to freedom of speech and expression, peaceful assembly without arms, and association.", it's not like protest in America. Police are allowed to order a person to leave a specific area should they determine an intention of offence. Even if you are 100% peaceful in protest, the police have the right to stop any protest.

Unfortunately, it’s 8 lashes on top of a prison sentence.

But they’re such a pain in the butt.

Zero tolerance of Corruption, Drugs, and Vandalism.

what does it say? can you elaborate?

@@Prathik1989 gratitude vs expecting in majority artists

This! All these artists thinking its their right to paint on buildings which are owned by people who worked for it.

So true. Its appalling that the question of Race is asked everywhere, official or unofficial and the justification given is to ensure an even divide but yet Chinese continue to be the majority. Tells you what kind of spread they are achieving. Now everyone believes that knowing your race and deciding things based on your race is a good thing

but meanwhile it makes singapore singapore

same!

This is not the original title. I have seen this video earlier this year. This video if I'm not mistaken is originally a part of docuseries about singaporean urban lifestyle. Vice most probably changed the title to something that is more clickbaity. The original title goes somewhere along the line of 'legal street art..'. That is why the glasses guy is in the documentary as well. to provide perspective from both side: 1) those who need to succumb to the law and 2) those who from early on follow the law with arts that is less controversial. The clickbait title totally ruined the whole point of the video.

@@offsial8531 So, that's the case. I also thought the title and the content is bit confusing. Very informative from you, thanks.

Doctor Detroit do you remember when? I remember seeing it daily on channel 1 in school.

@@jaxturner7288 he also stole street signs. he was charged with 50 counts of vandalism

random channel good memory 👌

I don’t think they will.... lol sorry buddy

You’re actually really good at editing 👌🏼 @pharaohproduction

Lol some of those people on your channel are actually pretty good. You have over a million views in total. Wow

😂 not gonna happen bro

That would be awesome if they respond to you. 👍

I'm Singaporean. The cons is its a very very expensive place to live especially so if u have young children. The pros is its very safe...very low crime...and very efficient public transport, healthcare etc. My advice is to make sure you are earning a very high salary if u r planning to move here. Cheers!

Singaporean here. While it seems expensive on the outside, costs can be managed, assuming you're getting a decent salary here. (You don't need to have a very high salary) For one, you don't need a car here, the public transportation would be something you'd be easily accustomed to; it's very convenient and not all that expensive compared to many comparable nations. Food wise we have hawker centres where you can get food from SGD 3-6 on average. In relative terms for example in Bangkok, you can find food from SGD 1-3 (be it food stalls or more classy food courts), however the average salary is much lower there. Essentially food will be a larger % of your salary, if we're taking average amounts into account. You have the more expensive options for sure if you want to splurge so the keyword here is choice. (Some cheap eats can be extremely delicious) Your biggest cost would be accommodation, for that you can check property sites in Singapore. I think you can rent entire units for a few thousands (lower end) in a condo? If you're talking about just a room then it can be around SGD 600 and up to a few thousands as well Working here can be stressful compared to the West, but if you're in a more international company then the culture might be more "Western". But if you work hard and do well here, you will be more than fine and will be able to live comfortably. Traveling around the region will be easy for you too, since the salary you get will mean you don't have to wait too long to save for a nice weekend getaway in Thailand, or other places nearby.

You can also try to find Facebook groups created by expats living in Singapore, you might be able to find your fellow countrymen as well, wherever you're from, so you can get a better idea, since I'm speaking from a local POV.

They get sent to prison for painting on walls... Punishment dosent fit the crime if you ask me.

@@ChickenManiac Yeah I would say 16 hours of community service, along with paying for the damage is way more reasonable.

@@ChickenManiac this is Singapore. Our rules. If you don't like it, just don't visit our country.

@@ChickenManiac well maybe they will learn their lesson this way.

@@VanaeCavae the U.S. should lock people up for it.. we would have less graffiti

I dont think strict punishments are the way to make art better. If its strictly regulated people are going to want to do it more. They should offer more space to paint murals so there can be more art its a win win for everyone :)

@@ChickenManiac To be honest, what you see in most cities of Spain can't be called "art". If what people do here would slightly resemble what they show in the video, I wouldn't oppose it so hardly. You gotta see it for yourself. Yeah, sure, there are some nice paintings here and there, but most of it it's just a way of vandilism. Maybe we all want what we don't have...

Yup it is

yikes

Damn so edgy

Who pissed in your Cheerios haha

I too can self felate

Vandalism is tho

I dont think his art is empty by any means. Just because it is street art and it doesnt contain a sociopolitical message doesnt mean it is void of attitude and emotion. While I do appreciate art that challenges preconceived notions, I can also enjoy art for arts sake

The Chinatown painter guy is doing exactly the same regurgitate material that can be found in local social study subject or pri/sec school art book. Dope skills but its predictable.

Bootlicker

Please no, in the UK Banksy's stuff is worth a fortune, and no one knows when he may come draw on your house.

Jason ok I’m sorry for respecting their culture and customs and not requiring them to assimilate to western ideals. Have a blessed day.
