[@sarahtan826]

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!

Hi,Leo...you shouldn't be affected by words easily. Be strong only ur parents words can hurt you. Show others how strong you are by not being affected by this few negative.

As a filipino who lives here for 14 years, Singapore is such a great country. Everything so efficient and safe. I always tell to our patients how blessed Singapore is. No natural disasters too.

[@ganhaithong2097]

No matter where we go, how good u are, there are always comments. No one are perfect. Annoy those give bad comments, open your heart Forgive n forget. Be happy n stay healthy. 🙏Blessing

[@liteo57]

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

[@thomasgoh2896]

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.

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.

[@Ian-wj7el]

Pls call yourself Singaporean. We made a trace in our class in JC. We realize all, all of us have ancestors from another country. China, India, Sri Lanka, Borneo, Sulawesi. There’re probably not many natives left. Hey, but we work together. 🙂

[@blipblop9094]

after visiting singapore for 3 times now, it's one of the country that i want to settle if given the opportunity. japan and Scandinavian countries is up there too.

[@SingaporeOne]

What do you like about Singapore? We'd love to know! 😀

[@blipblop9094]

@@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.

Well said. The world certainly get smaller these days. You choose this country and we welcome you.

Thank you for your warm response! 😄

Welcome!

[@Chew81]

You're a nice bloke. I will speak for myself. As a Singaporean of Chinese ancestry, I am annoyed more by Chinese-born naturalised Singaporeans and permanent residents than anyone else. It is not so much the particular nationality but the way the Chinese rub me the wrong way. Filipinos are fellow Southeast Asians. Filipinos tend to be able to speak English passably if not well, as you do. The reason that I'm averse to the Chinese is this very complacent attitude that because we are 76 per cent Chinese, they don't need to learn our common language, which is English. Some of them even have this idea that just because we have Chinese ancestry we ought to be able speak Mandarin comfortably and that we ought to at least like or love our 'motherland'. That's rubbish. It is like insisting that a third generation American whose ancestors were from a European country ought to treasure and value their roots and therefore, blah blah blah. Come on. I'm a Peranakan Chinese. My family has been in Southeast Asia for many generations. We are also a native English speaking family for as many generations as from the time English was introduced in this region because of colonialism. I've been mocked at by Chinese servers for not being able to know certain Mandarin words. What? Ask any Peranakan-Chinese person about our struggle with Mandarin. My parents cannot speak Mandarin. I can, but only barely. I failed my Mandarin GCSE, and for the oral segment, had the honour of getting an UNGRADED mark. Come on. As long as migrants and new citizens are able to integrate well in Singapore, and accept the fact that in 2024 and onwards, we are more or less a Westernised but multicultural and multiracial city state. Don't bring your atheism here or your religious fundamentalism. Don't bring your language supremacy here. Don't bring your 'China is Great' bollocks here.

New citizen

[@bensgoodeats1493]

I always see him in TikTok

[@johnsabilla5897]

aren't all friends start as strangers first? lol

[@blipblop9094]

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.

[@SingaporeOne]

We all have to start somewhere! 🤣

[@paparoti4006]

U still eat Pag Pag in singapore ?

[@JeffreyStein-v9m]

I am a Filipino and never saw pag pag not even once

[@cynthiabianzon5408]

I can smell your contempt paparoti. Those who are homeless and desperately cannot make ends meet eat pagpag - they deserve compassion, not contempt. We Filipinos do not look down on those who are famished.

[@skaka8800]

🙋🇸🇬

[@raymondwan-k4w]

I prefer philippines over sg... those who r educated filippo looked down their fellow poorer citizens...get rid the senators n middle/rich filippo...

[@VOLightPortal]

That would make things worse. The Philippines needs more humility alongside education. And it needs a leader with iron discipline similar to Lee Kuan Yew to set the standard across all sectors of the society. Root out corruption in both public and private sector - just as Singapore set out to do from the beginning, and it worked. Only then can Philippines truly flourish. Some say it's impossible to get rid of corruption, but Singapore is a case study that proves otherwise. I believe in a society where everyone can be well off and rich without sacrificing morals and integrity. Filipinos can learn a lot from the Singapore model. Train the next generation to be aware of how Singapore creates good leaders. It will require a complete overhaul to how things are done in the Philippines.

[@VOLightPortal]

As for looking down at the poor... never look down at other people. Only look down at bad behaviours and set the appropriate penalties and programs for course correction. As an example, Singaporeans used to pee in elevators, which was finally stopped around the country by installing CCTV and setting strict fines.

[@raymondwan-k4w]

@@VOLightPortal wtf r u mumbling???

[@VOLightPortal]

@@raymondwan-k4w let me translate, ceguro hindi mo alam ang inglis... Iyon ay magpapalala ng mga bagay. Ang Pilipinas ay nangangailangan ng higit na pagpapakumbaba kasabay ng edukasyon. At kailangan nito ng pinunong may disiplinang bakal na katulad ni Lee Kuan Yew upang itakda ang pamantayan sa lahat ng sektor ng lipunan. Tanggalin ang katiwalian sa parehong pampubliko at pribadong sektor - tulad ng itinakda ng Singapore na gawin sa simula, at ito ay gumana. Doon lamang tunay na umunlad ang Pilipinas. May nagsasabing imposibleng maalis ang katiwalian, ngunit ang Singapore ay isang case study na nagpapatunay kung hindi. Naniniwala ako sa isang lipunan kung saan lahat ay maaaring maging mayaman at mayaman nang hindi isinasakripisyo ang moral at integridad. Maraming matututunan ang mga Pilipino sa modelo ng Singapore. Sanayin ang susunod na henerasyon na magkaroon ng kamalayan sa kung paano lumilikha ang Singapore ng mabubuting pinuno. Mangangailangan ito ng kumpletong pag-aayos sa kung paano ginagawa ang mga bagay sa Pilipinas. Kung mababa ang tingin sa mga mahihirap... wag na wag mong tignan ang ibang tao. Tingnan lamang ang masasamang gawi at itakda ang naaangkop na mga parusa at programa para sa pagwawasto ng kurso. Bilang halimbawa, umiihi ang mga Singaporean sa mga elevator, na sa wakas ay nahinto sa buong bansa sa pamamagitan ng pag-install ng CCTV at pagtatakda ng mahigpit na multa.
