This interview is unique from the others. The choice of venues, a lot of movement in the background. It can be a bit distracting but at the same time, it shows the fluidity mind of the interviewee. The way he talks, he’s like a moving river. It's interesting to get into the minds of foreigners, what they think, how they see things, how they perceive things, their life lessons. What we can learn from them, what they can learn from us. It’s always an exchange.

It will take quite a while before culture can develop in Singapore. We're less than a century old. In country terms, we're babies. What we do celebrate is a bit of every culture out there that has been brought into Singapore like a mixing pot of mish mesh. As long as our people continue to be open to experiencing each other's culture with respect and understanding, Singapore will eventually develop culturally. We are already beginning to embrace our own mix of language, which is the first sign of a developing culture. Arts and expression will take some time but might be stiffiled because of our need to constantly be on lookout for existential threat/crisis.

The problem is the ideology focused around Americans about individual freedom thinking that it's for their own personal freedom comes at the expense of the wellbeing of citizens. And it becomes the "end-all" principle to the point that the government sees that it doesn't need to intervene and allocate resources to assist the downtrodden and the vulnerable in society. That's not freedom. That's cowardice.

@mang0esh0ho 2 ай бұрын
agreed. im a singaporean based in the NYC right now, and i think the only reason why it's deemed as such is because of the wage. like here i simply take home usd800/week (sgd4.2k/month) for an entry level job. minimum wage here is usd15/hr. like earning american bux is nicer than sgd BUT taking into account that tax eats up a whole lot and returns are only 1/3 of the tax paid? and there's no cpf unless you have a 401k which will also take years to build. rent is more or less the same as SG. but i think honestly worst here you have to make 40x annual to rent. let's say the space is $2k, you gotta make $80k/year. which is insane and rent keeps getting HIGHER. causing locals itself to not have a house. food - dont even mention. the amount of times you can't "just spend" and have to resort to cooking because it's so damn expensive. paid usd17 for a pad thai.....usd7 for a smashburger.... tough to find actual good deals without having to travel out to chinatown or sumn. and the whole tipping thing. as a chef myself i find it ridiculous how tipping is expected 🫠 transportation is usd2.90 / ride. they have unlimited pass tor usd127. paying that much for the subpar train / station standards. not to mention your safety on the line. being pushed on train tracks etc. returning back to SG soon 🙏 cause really as much as the wage is relatively smaller there. i can survive with what

The location that you guys took the video is probably in the East Coast, I’m not certain but if it is, one of my favourite places to live and the last place I stayed for 3 years in Tembeling. I sooo miss Singapore ❤. I had some regrets of leaving Singapore to explore other countries and it’s just totally different. Singapore and Singaporeans has influenced my being and how I’ve become 😂 in a good way but some people may not like it so I had to readjust things and behaviour depending on the person I’ll be dealing with.

Welcome to Singapore. I have an American couple friend living in California whom work as film producers for documentaries. They dont find it expensive nor cheap either. More like slightly above average to them. I see their views quite fair hence they travel quite extensively to film documentaries around the world. They mentioned most Americans are too adapt to use cars... so most of the American tourists may find Singapore is expensive if everytime they travel need a car or take grab instead of practise to use the public transport. And they eat mainly only at suburbs or at hawker centres to save more money. I agree with Blake that has the same views as my Californian couple friends it narrow down to cultures.

Many Americans are not rich enough to travel to the other side of the planet. I don't have access to the numbers but I suspect those that do travel internationally will likely go to Europe first or one of the many beautiful Caribbean islands south of us. A trip to Asia is not cheap at all. It takes a lot of planning and then you have to coordinate the time off with your employer. It takes 24 hours by plane to get to SG or Indonesia or Thailand, etc. basically you lose two whole days with the travel time. It's easier for the average American to go to Canada, Europe, Caribbean islands .

Singapore needs more talent, and is being encumbered by domestic politics and the locals' belief that they can fulfil certain leadership and corporate roles that SIngapore wishes to create. That's where their own method of education and training falls short. It is impossible to create an entire population of c-suite personnel. My advice is while foreigners work in Singapore, Singaporeans should work overseas to gain experience and see where the global market places them for their skills and knowledge.

I lived in Singapore for 7 years and it's almost impossible to make a fair comparison to any other country. As a tiny island with a population one third the size of NYC, it is able to make accelerated progress across many sectors of governance and ensure social regulatory enforcement etc - it is simply very manageable in size. For me personally, I could not see myself staying much longer owing to the manufactured fabric that kinda frames society in Singapore. But I highly respect its history and the legacy left by LKY and many others.
