And rebel against the English rule. 14:20 Singapore is located in Southeast Asia Not Continent America or Europe . Based on Southeast Asian standards Singapore is a "FINE $" country 24:48 lie Singapore has the highest GDP per capital in Southeast Asia. And not currently in a state of war and internal conflict Moreover, the Malacca Strait brings in millions of dollars like the Suez Canal.

[@botbot8523]

They refused my PR based on my race, using their racist CMIO framework, I swore to myself that I'd trash them, which is well-deserved anyway. Also, recently a young crypto CEO, who hired 25 locals with 85 million in assets and married a local, had his PR rejected (white, of course). I spent all my money on studies here and ended up with first-class honors and perfect grades everywhere. I'm married to a local, etc. Yet, some other students (Chinese, of course) received invitations to apply for PR during their studies, even though they were cheaters and had grades nowhere near mine. A famous dermatologist in Orchard told me that she had to justify to the MOM and ICA, via a phone call, why she chose to hire a Filipino instead of a Chinese. I’m not sure what kind of CCP deal is behind that, to be honest... When it comes to jobs, the only whites you’ll see are those hired in the West and then transferred internally within MNCs. There’s zero chance to be hired here unless for dirty jobs like nursing or if you have 20+ years of ultra-niche AI experience. Moreover, the landlord milked me with their crazy rents, lying about what others were paying, and the neighbors I had were mannerless. I just went on LinkedIn and checked the average profiles here-some are managers with just a C-tier university and pass grades. I have Chinese friends in this case who can jump from job to job in one week, etc. Basically, Singapore ruined my life, so I want to share the love! This has nothing to do with you or your channel, actually. I think you’re doing a great job. The success of such a channel isn’t specific to Singapore-you might also want to try other destinations for your own good. Honestly, Japan has Akira houses for 10x cheaper than here (even near big cities) and the culture is 1000x better. Same for some villages in Italy or France. You may like Singapore, but quite frankly, most of them don’t like you-they just won’t tell you. If you don't believe jist go in any Singaporean news on tiktok and check the comment sections: ang moh, FT FT CECA CECA. They only thing they spam 24 7 is blaming foreigners as those Chinese who stole Sg from malay after british built it claim it as their with their so called LKY god, although HK ended up exactly like Sg in all metrics without him lol... I’m not sure how long you’ve been living here, but eventually, the “love” will turn into hate. If they ever refuse your PR and you want to expose the money laundering scheme happening here, you can message me. This won’t happen soon, and you’ll need to be outside of Singapore first... There are channels like China Show that specialize in exposing those. By then, I’ll still spam all relevant channels to expose them.

She’s so well versed not just about Singapore history, culture and society, but also about the challenges we face. Excellent interview and probably the best one so far. Someone should show this video to Lawrence Wong; she has great insight and a refreshing perspective, and she clearly loves Singapore too and is very sensitive to its needs and characteristics.

[@senghtan]

Truth about Singapore: increasing dissatisfaction among people living and working in Singapore concerning the political system --- it's not a true democracy --- the PAP government has been and is still persecuting civil society, including the opposition --- the PAP government strategizing in fining and taxing more, so that it could use the surplus tax for its own political benefit. the current PAP government has not landed with Singaporeans the 10% GST increase. This lady must have the courage in proclaiming the above ; if not, i don't see any of so-called de-bunking as refreshing.

[@RealitikDaily]

Hard to feel home here tbh... Singapore has a Racist framework where 85% of visas are reserved to Chinese race. They prefer Chinese money launderer parking money in empty properties to pay construction workers 700 sgd/month to build more condo and HDB to attract even more money laundering. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX6ckoqqo8mmsKcsi=sZ-im3PL5pmCi0ls

[@RyoChong-e4k]

@@senghtan perhaps you want the American political system then, which is a true democracy? How about knowing that your neighbor and every other person possess a firearm capable of killing you and your family in an instant? How about one day, we install the Asian equivalent of Donald trump into the government? How about one day all subsidized housing schemes are gone and everyone is supposed to own a house on your own credit? Perhaps you want to see a government with equal number of oppositions to the main party, and all bickering amongst themselves every day in forwarding their own political agendas than to actually pass policies for country building? You think our tax system is bad here? how much do you know about the tax systems of other countries? Think carefully before you speak and seriously, if you are unhappy about the government and Singapore, then get out and give your place to this lady who probably deserves it and appreciates it much more than you.

[@joyLoveC]

This was the BEST interview this channel has done IMHO. I’m blown away by Jane’s knowledge of our history, past to present, about how our country runs and understands why it has to be this way. I love that she truly appreciates and enjoys being here. Having lived in various countries, she has a good understanding about the different cultures and mindsets. She is very grounded and has great principles. I hope she will remain here as she said she would, and continue showing visitors the real Singapore, debunking the misconceptions. Most of all, I hope she gets her citizenship.

[@limwk007]

Agree. I watched many of Max’s interviews and I agree this is by far the best. Authenticity cannot be faked and she clearly loves our country. I can only hope that she attains citizenship soon. Even if she had failed twice, don’t give up!

She’s absolutely right about the need for transparency and concerns regarding people who come to Singapore solely to park their money without even bothering to integrate into our society or show any genuine interest in our country! Good point! She’s an admirable woman with profound knowledge , a strong sense of justice and great kindness! With or without ICA approval, you’ve already gained many approvals and thumbs up from many fellow Singaporeans! Love ya Jane! ❤️👍

[@becks56]

As a local, I really enjoyed watching this interview. It was interesting to see the level of insight and depth from this incredibly well spoken lady with extensive knowledge on this country, as well as comparison with other major cities. I wish her all the best in her life in Singapore.

[@TheSingingCicada]

I must say this is one of the best interviews here. This lady is knowledgeable and has great awareness of the situations, be it or not part of her job or identity. Have to agree on most of her points and it's difficult not to like her. It's not easy to accept opinions from tourists who were here for a few days especially if they were bad ones. The people they came across were probably service providers, drivers hawkers etc. To me she's as good as our locals here, with her Indian form of dress and the chinese character pendant to begin with...

[@ymhktravel]

She has definitely lived through the times and know Singapore history personally, more so than most Singaporeans, esp the younger ones. And she's promoting Singapore. She'd have done well if knowing Singapore was a criterion to become a Singaporean. She has the right thinking about foreigners becoming PR / Singaporeans. Unfortunately, I think it's much easier to become a Singaporean if you have tons of money to dump down or some people like Gong Li & Jet Li who are Singaporeans who know nothing abt S'pore and hardly ever stay in Singapore!

I definitely agree on the transparency part for PR and Citizenship. My colleague is a PR in sg for 35+ years. Already going to be a grandfather. But his citizenship application kept getting rejected. He contributed 2 boys and 2 girls to the population. Paid tax. Paid CPF. But cannot enjoy most of the gst payouts, and other incentives, including hospitalization subsidies. Very heartbreaking.

[@kenzone]

Best quote of the interview: “To me, Asia is like a warm bath as compared to the cold shower of Europe and the US. It’s comfortable and easy and you can relax into it much more.” I never thought of it that way before, but she’s right in many ways. 😅

[@florenceso9777]

Excellent interview. Jane knows more of Singapore than the average Singaporeans and deserves to be granted the Singapore citizenship for her genuine fondness and care of our country. I hope the government watch this episode and give some in-depth thoughts on her comments re : relaxation of freedom, transparency on citizenship criteria, etc.

This lady knows more about Singapore than me as a Singaporean. I hope she will not stop trying for citizenship and wish her all the best in becoming a Singaporean.

I'm an S.E. Asian. This is the first time I heard that Singapore is called a Police State. I thought it was the U.S. who has so many police, I've seen the facts in movies.

It is a good place to live for people who like to have civilized people around them. Like me.

[@blilasg8956]

A police state describes a state whose government institutions exercise an extreme level of control over civil society and liberties, not necessarily lots of polices everywhere.

Singapore was "kicked out" of Malaysia on August 9, 1965. This is when Singapore separated from Malaysia and became an independent state.

Many thought that Singapore couldn't survive by itself, and yet today, Singapore is a modern city, and doing very well economically. For years, Singapore is known for it's cleanliness.

Not sure if she had tried for citizenship during her 23 years pr ship. Also not sure if she has any sons , so all these can be reasons she did not get her citizenship. But I do agree that the process can be more transparent.

She has a son as per the video
