lol yes, underneath that, the elbow, the silent competition, the hidden side eyes, the backstab, who knows? Also about the Chindo discussion, its either pure naivete or just a good PR pep talk. From what I know talking to a lot of my friends who in the end move from Spore to Europe, its either silently struggling or silently dying. But with that experience, they live much more easier in Europe, where the discipline is lax, but they already delivering more and so getting better in excellence and merit.

I worked in construction on Batam in the 90's. At that time I saw so many Singaporean worked in Batam so I thought why couldn't Indonesian work in Singapore, in Construction. After hundreds applications sent by fax (no email that time), I got some calls for interviews and eventually got a job. From that time to 2005, I worked in and out of Singapore. During my time there, so many people baffled how come Indonesia (Batam) is so near but no Construction people from Indonesia in Singapore. For them, I was the first Indonesian Site Engineer they noticed

As an indonesian who has been spending the 2/3 of my life in Krasnodar, Russia.I can tell you that this lady is telling amazing stories that somehow resonate well with me as well. The reason why indonesians didn't travel much before it was because our country is super huge and many indonesians at that time thought that if you have Money better see the outside world rather than seeing what we have. However, now due to Instagram era many young indonesians are started to explore our own backyard.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but most people who change their nationality from Indonesian to Singaporean are of Chinese descent, They came from China and then moved to Indonesia, where they settled and had children. As their economic situation improved, some of them moved to Singapore, Australia, or other countries, but many chose to remain in Indonesia. Those who change their citizenship are usually people who are accustomed to traveling abroad because they have the financial means to do so. There are rumors that some also moved to Singapore from Indonesia to escape corruption cases they were involved in back home. Unlike the indigenous people of Indonesia, very few of them are willing to change their citizenship. This is partly because most of them belong to the middle class and rarely travel abroad, but also because they deeply love their homeland, where they were born and raised.

Many of them come to SG because ethnic clash at 1998 where the political and economic is not stable. Its not because they are richer, its just safer at that time and few years after. The trauma esp in jakarta area is not easy to erase. Many of the chinese decendant is not like second generation, so they actually have roots, culture, life in indonesia. Their big family is in indonesia. Therefore, while they go to sg, it isnt easy. Like many other indonesian.

7:18 she looks uncomfortable here, but her sentiments are shared with the rest of the country. Of course racism is a thing in Indonesia just like everywhere else, but it’s not embedded in the institutions like in Malaysia and Singapore where the “races” are herded but their governments to live their lives separate from each other. Racism in Indonesia naturally occurs, while in our neighboring countries they used the old British strategy to segregate the communities to avoid tensions. Which one is better, which one is worse? It’s really up to you. But just like what she said, we would identify first as Indonesian above all. Singaporeans and Malaysian would always identify themselves as Chinese Malaysians, Malay Singaporeans, etc when introducing themselves to foreigners but Indonesians would just say that they’re Indonesians, even those who’ve changed their nationality like the lady in this video.

@wenderis 5 ай бұрын

There's some truth to this but saying things like 'naturally occurs', 'not embedded', or recycling (or not) the colonial master strategies, missing a whole lot of history and nuances. There are many instances where the military (ex: Ambon) or the regime (Mesuji) or fractions of both (kerusuhan 98) ignited this so-called 'naturally occurs' racism to deadly gruesome violence. Worse, they let it sink to our subconscious without ever dealing with it. Not embedded? By law, Tionghoa could never owns a land in DIY.

Though, while I also love Singapore like it's my second home, I can never imagine giving up Indonesian nationality to be a Singaporean.

I am Indonesian who were living in Singapore for 7 years. I decided to move out from SG to Europe because the living cost is too expensive for us. Also, I already have three members of family. As a scientist, to live in sG, is very tough. Although I have quite descent number of publications, the politics is too strong and I kept in the same level for many years. My friend is a converted SG citizen from Indonesian can not have a fixed position in research institute that is strongly related with defense. Now, he is working and living in Japan and he got permanent job there :). For another reason, I have a house and family heritage in Indonesia. There is a rule that once you become another citizen, you can not own your land in Indonesia. For the education, the start of academic year is different than other countries, making difficulties to your children whe he/she will enter the college abroad. Not to mention, the national service will delay your child's educational age. Sure, they are pro and kontra but living in SG is not perfectly nice as people told. Now, in Europe, costs for kids were 100% subsidized although you are foreigner.

Tinggal di negara lain tidak sama dengan menjadi WN lain.

I have Chindo friends (Chinese Indonesians) in medan and jakarta. Was in medan also known as the "Gotham City" for a wedding and the pace there was slow moving but the traffic there was scary especially during peak hours. At the zebra crossing the cars and motorbikes will not stop for you to cross unless you raised your hands like a stop sign to indicate that you are crossing only a few will stop automatic for you to cross. Indonesians are friendly, helpful and smiling people and Indonesian food is super delicious too. I love this drink called "bedak" which is equivalent to our Sarsi here. If they are rich they are super rich if they are poor they are super poor you can easily spot them begging along the road dividers ranging from adults to children. The cousin of my friend insured our safety that he had to locked the car doors. I seen this when i was in medan. The tour guide also shared with us that families of children who stay in the outskirts usually will wake up early to start their journey on foot to walk to school miles and miles to and fro. So one should travel overseas to appreciate our home country better.

Systematic racism in Singapore, indeed exist. The basis of a racialised mode of ethnic governance is the Chinese-Malay-Indian-Other (CMIO) model, which is based on the notion that separate management of racial groups ensures optimal functioning of society. The effects of these racialisation policies have permeated almost every aspect of life in the city state, creating key social divisions among Singaporeans. That's why She got better offer job, payment, accomodation, allowance,etc as Chinese descent compared to the other races. She knew, that she always be welcome and accepted in Indonesia.

Because she is Chindo, rich, has job & career at Spore, married with bule, has kids there, of course will say like that. But for middle or poor people, they will say that stay at Spore is impossible, too stress, high tax, life not normal etc. So still best is in Indo.

In Indonesia there is not much racism anymore actually since long ago, the main racism was from the government and long ago instigated by the Dutch for divide and rule. If you go to chinese temples in smaller towns specially in East Java, you will often see Muslims (many with tudung) following the chinese puppetry and they know the story even better than us Chinese. Many Muslims also work at temples explaining the chinese how to pray and the customs.....best example of Tolerance! Indonesians are very tolerant! There are exceptions of course, but try to look at the majority, a lot of violence in the near past was instigated by certain groups in society, not by the common people themselves

Max, out of all your interviews of foreigners who settled in Singapore, this lady is the most technical one. She settled here for her convenience, and not for the love of the place. My takeaway is purely based on the video, of course, since i don't know her. "Singapore is nice, in a way, to live in." Such enthusiasm after 20 years and building a home and family here. "Once the plane lands, it's like, I'm very familiar with this, this is home." I wouldn't be surprised if her family packs up and leaves before her boys needs to serve NS. As a Singaporean, i feel "used". Let's hope her economic output contributes to Singapore more than her emotional attitude.

Singapore is not a country, but a corporation. It produce superfluous capital and superfluous men. Most Singaporean went abroad to superfluous Capital like in the U.S. and western countries. Expansion then was not only escape for the superfluous capital itself, but still more for its owners from the menacing prospect of remaining entirely superfluous and parasitical. As they learned from their former master, the British imperialism.
