Hi my name kibin and I'm planning to move to Singapore would you help me abt it ,my WhatsApp [phone] from Cape town

[@backtothePI]

When I visited Singapore 20 years ago I met 2 people online when the internet was in its infancy, who went out of their way to be a host and take me around all over the place. One was a Malay woman the other was Chinese, both took time out of their day to hang with a foreigner, a black American. Nobody blinked an eye at me. Some children did stare, btw even small children take public transportation alone. There were Indian people I saw darker than any black person I’ve ever met so I don’t think skin color is the big deal people might imagine it to be in Singapore

[@TheBlackExJp]

Thanks for sharing your experience Tashi!

As always great work, however there is a noise in the video’s background that got a lot my attention between the 10:00 and the final minutes. .Did you notice? Maybe I am too sensitive...

[@monstafloppa871]

I actually visited Singapore several times while I served in the U.S. Navy. As the young lady in the video stated, it is one of the cleanest places in the world. Little known fact, the Republic of Singapore is an island city-state in Southeast Asia. The food is delicious and diverse with dishes from India, Malaysia, China, etc. Laws can be very strict here and littering is definitely frowned upon. That said, I never noticed a lot of crime. Overall, it's a beautiful country and I would love to visit again in the future.

[@monstafloppa871]

I am Singaporean & when I was in University in Australia, my best friends were Africans ...one from Zambia, one from Zimbabwe & one from Uganda. They were my sisters from another mother. So if any one from another race comes here, you will always be welcome. Singapore still has some people who are racists but that is why more races should come here to teach them that beyond the skin, we are all similar!

[@star12341998]

I was surprised when she said people living in Singapore seem genuinely happy to be there. I know many people who are not absolutely happy but that also stems from so many just living in the bubble that Singapore provides. From my experience growing up in Singapore, there are pros and cons for sure. I used to not be as happy or appreciative of Singapore but now that I’m studying overseas, I do miss many aspects of Singapore.

[@star12341998]

NobleStar Lion Exactly, once I left Singapore, I realised I took so many things for granted 🤷🏻‍♀️ I never had to wait 20 minutes for a train before, and never had to put up with transport being delayed by more than 10 minutes (and this is happens almost weekly). Also, the fact that we don’t have to deal with natural disasters, riots of shootings. And how safe and clean Singapore is... also the cheaper hawker centre food. I often have to pay more than twice the price for a similar-sized meal. It’s sad that Singaporeans are unappreciative of Singapore 😔 and these people don’t deserve what our country is able to give us.

Just like the peoples who everyday complain and rant on the government, then end of day they voted for them instead. As a singaporean, you should be familiar with this trait .

Hi there, stumbled onto this video by accident. Realised it was taken in June 2019, a few months before the world went into a Covid tailspin. It's two years on now, not sure if you're still here in SG, Roxie. But from us to you, here's wishing you well and thank you for walking part of your journey in life with us.

These interviews are AWESOME!! Thank you. Roxie is AMAZING, her compasion, integrity and intuitiveness is a GIFT. The wisdom her husband shares with her is RIGHT ON and she shares it with us. Her proudest achievement starts around 12:39 and she states "It was more their achievement", yet using her GIFT helped them to achieve (against many odds). She is balanced - to understand that systematic oppression is universal, you can't change people but you can be HAPPY, walk in YOUR GIFT, and enjoy life. Beautiful story, keep living it well and THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

@John Buffalo I am 97Correction. Anglos colonised, enslaved nations, they did not gave freedom. The nations fought for their independence. And Anglos did not taught culture, the various ethnic groups retained their own culture. Anglos only taught their language and laws which helped those countries in laying the foundation for their development, and access to the Western world

[@ManPursueExcellence]

Don Riller The difference, to me, is that White Westerners don’t want to be called immigrants as it sounds like something ascribed to poor migrants or migrants of color who migrate to western countries. It’s a status thing. They like to change the meaning of words in order to affect perception and dissociate themselves from things they don’t want to unite with or be responsible for. That’s my take.

[@ubud5924]

[@cbcluckyii4042]

@@blessedcheflim8579 I may be out of my lane to speak on this issue but it's the internet and I'm doing so genuinely and I am not claiming to be right. The sprints are dominated by black people from Jamaica USA and to a lesser extent UK, Canada and other Carribean nations. Back in the colonial days, the strongest built were taken from their homes to be enslaved in the west. Those genes were of course passed down to generations to follow. Genetics alone does not make a champion automatically. Dedication and hardwork is required. Due to bias hiring practices, people of colour will have to work much harder for the same opportunities (IMO up to 90s before we saw improvement). Likewise to get into the best colleges, you need $$$. Since the black community did not have the same disposable income the ones who did have these genetic gifts used it to their advantage to get in and secure higher education. Not that they don't have the intellect to get in on their own merit, it was/is the crappy situation that the worse of humanity helped create. As for the long distances, Kenyans and Ethopians dominate I'm guessing have to due with climate and cuisine - this one I'm not as confident in my theory. Sorry to anyone who may be offended by this, it's not my intent and would like to be corrected if I'm way off.

Insightful video, however the part about where she talks about our political situation is not so. We don't discuss our political opinions so much with foreigners unless we get to know them better. Especially when our way of governance (although derived from colonial roots) is markedly different from that of the West. Again it is stereotypical to label our government as "oppressive" without living here for a long time. We do have more restrictions than the UK, but at least things work in our country and we are comfortable.

Visited Singapore (and Malaysia) once with my ex who was a native Singaporean. She was mixed race (Malay/Indian) and identified as Malay but had a phenotype that would fit in many places. As I am West Indian most times she was mistaken for a Trinidadian dougla (Black/East Indian mix), Brazilian, Guyanese, etc. Anyhow She warned me that some Chinese people wouldn't know how to take me but Malays would be cool. We initially stayed at her uncle's flat in the Hougang area. I ate like a pig from the street hawkers: Roti prata every morning. After an extended trip to Johor Bahru, a small town named Kota Tinggi and then an even teenier town named Mersing, we ended up checking into the Grand Hyatt on Orchard Road. I was treated wonderfully there and the staff kissed my ass as if I were someone important, perhaps they thought I was a footballer or a cricketer. They apologized profusely on the lack of grand suites available (I never asked for one) and actually advised me which of the hotel restaurants to avoid so that I would not have to associate with the common riff raff. The g/f actually felt out of place there and said "that is not how we are treated". I told her , "It's because you're with Sooopa Doopa honey!" I didn't really get what she was saying until we were queuing up for a taxi out front. A Chinese taximan pulled up, took one look at me and then drove over to the other queue where a white couple was waiting. It was so blatant and so much like the US I was in shock. I heard a couple of gasps from the people behind me as well. The hotel staff member who was managing the taxis was a Malay guy turned and looked at me with a look of shock on his face, shook his head and said, "I'm so sorry sir. I'm so sorry. We cannot control these taxi drivers. I'm, so sorry". The look he gave me was the identical look that I might get from a black person who had just witnessed a racial incident. He then then physically directed another car to me. That is about the worst part of the trip. Other than that, great people, great nightlife, great food. I even did the obligatory Hainanese from the Mandarin Oriental but was steered away Geyland as well as the Orchard Towers and its 4 Floors of Whores. lol I could definitely live in Singapore. I sure as hell got used to Singaporean English and their excessive use of "la". It was endearing

I want to visit Singapore. Had no idea. So pretty, modern, clean streets seen from the drone videos on You Tube... beautiful. Chewing gum is out law there. Learned from a walking tour video of Singapore.

Question along with the interviewer's comments on the country they are living in, do you think you will ever be able to show examples of the housing and markets in the area's? Really enjoy interviews when you are walking around the area.
