    This is one of the BEST video of Singapore I've seen. The places you've gone to take a walk at Raffles Place, walk along the marina bay and Singapore River, visit the Apple Store, eating Ya Kun Kaya toast and Indian food are among the BEST things to do. Although I prefer to walk there or cycle during the mornings or evenings. 😂
    Just a comment to your question, the chinese, malay, indians and other races, regardless of religions, we all treat one another with respect when we work or interact. Our best friends may be chinese, indian or malay or any race. My teenage daughter went for her school trip in Sarawak Malaysia and she could share room and bed with her 2 best friends, both girls from another race and they looked out for one another.

      Thank you so much 😍 We wanted to show more Singapore from its best perspective but not only going to most touristy places but also show how different cultures intertwine and luckily enough we could have had some conversations with the locals ❤️
      It’s truly impressive that there’s no signs of racism or discrimination of any sorts - these days it’s pretty rare to find people of different backgrounds being so tolerant 🙏 The younger generation (like your daughter) is the biggest proof of the undergoing process of sharing acceptance!

    One thing abt SG that you will find very fascinating in overall from your experience here is the discipline and not so much the word that people tends to use "Controlling".
    In the past, those laws "No littering", "No Smoking here", are very prevalent and strictly enforced to the point, yr neighbour will rat you out for attempting to litter so you lose money.
    Nowadays, this rules are not strictly enforced, if you travel out past the city area and wander around the HBD void decks, you be surprise to see some people still litter even under a "No Littering" sign. Those are but a one-in-a thousand encounters, because those rules are taught to us from our parents who were disciplined by those rules. And the newer generations(majority) learned these good habits.
    These good habits are also constantly reinforced by our teachers, by our social studies, constantly to remind us, the city we lived today is shaped by our hands. The government can make the rules, but its really up to the people to enforce it.

    • @JayeshChhaya
      @JayeshChhaya  2 місяці тому +1

      It seems like the culture imprinted on people this behaviour so much not to litter that for everyone it’s just a natural thing to follow 🙏 It’s the biggest sign how aware is the society about the environment as well!

      Hi karolina & Jayesh, Kaya toast is great, but can be a little sweet, so it’s great to wash it down with some unsweetened Tea or coffee . But probably he best breakfast I’ve had in Singapore was Pandan pancakes at Chye Seng Huat Hardware, at Lavender . If it’s not the best for you, then definitely the most exotic pancakes you can have when in Singapore. Just ask for the Gula Melaka syrup to placed on the side, and not on the pancakes themselves, so you can sweeten the pancakes accordingly to your taste !

    Hi I don't think the Yakun auntie was rude. Singapore is having a shortage of workers and many people do not want to work in the F&B sector because of the long hours and stress. I saw from your video 2 aunties manning the shop and there was a long queue out there. The aunties have no time for small talks (haha). YaKun service is generally very good and I have a very good opinion about this company. I heard from one of the YaKun aunties that the bosses in YaKun are very nice people and I personally have spoken to the big boss while he was in one of his outlets. Very humble and nice guy. The founder of the company was a man named Ya Kun and i have ordered from his hawker stall before (that was before his children took over and YaKun became big in Singapore and around the region). You just have to yell your order while he was busy preparing the toast and coffee and he would just glance at you quickly. Without fail, the order would come out CORRECTLY. He had a photographic memory. BTW I am Singaporean.

    Hi guys, welcome back to our Little Red Dot. Interesting you mentioned about multiculturism at the beginning and then ended the video with Rojak. Indeed, our SG society is like an Indian Rojak where every individual ingredient retains its flavour and uniqueness and yet when combined together creates a unique well blended flavour. I believe our multi cultural, multi lingua, multi racial, multi religious society is the most important factor that underpins Singapore's success and we all value it very much. It is and will always be a Work In Progress.

    I am glad you two get to share a table with locals at Maxwell, a good mix of characters too. That's the usual local ambience and wonderful that you get to experience that.
    Singapore is not spotless clean. There are litters still and we can definitely do better. Our recycling culture is present but not enforced so a lot of room to improve there and learn from other countries like Taiwan and Japan.

    Welcome back to SG :) Don't put extra emphasis on the "T" in the teh C or "K" to the Kopi and more like "beng" not pink. It isn't an English word anyways, we are just trying to spell out in English of dialects translated to words. Try listening to her tone when she said "teh c"😁 C means evaporated milk. If you didnt ask for unsweetened, it will be with sugar.
    There are many other great chicken rice options with shorter queue and cheaper than Tian Tian. Rojak isn't exactly vegetarian as the sauce has fermented prawn paste.

    The CCTVs have more of a deterrent purpose, are more for people who committed a crime and police need to look into footages for clarity and for evidence. On an everyday basis when nothing happens, the authorities are not so free as to be constantly monitoring the public. How I know? Ghehehe, because I've done some really naughty things in front of those at night when few people are around and I've not been called up for questioning. 🤭🤣
    Going to 7-11 for bottled drinks and other stuff is the last place I'd go. Of all the supermarts and convenience stores in Singapore, it's the most expensive. Our go-to place more likely to be NTUC Fairprice, Cheers, Giant etc.

      I feel sorry for you. I have been here 56 of my 66 years, and I have never been bored. Have you taken a canoe out to Pulau Ubin to hike through the nature trails and explore the abandoned quarries? Or camp on the beach? Or taken a midnight canoe trip all around the outer island, watching the waters glow a fluorescent blue when your oars/paddles disturb the bioluminescent planktons? Quite a magical experience. We used to canoe out to Pulau Ubin regularly, exploring the mangrove swamps.
      If you are into birdwatching, you can spot many endangered species that can be found in Singapore - like the critically endangered straw headed bulbuls, which is already extinct in Thailand and Java and Borneo (Singapore has a third of the surviving population).
      If you are into marine biology, you can get excited that two live baby Neptune's cup sponges were discovered in Singapore waters (there are only 5 known live specimens recorded) and they have been thought to be extinct.
      Maybe you should have cultivated broader interests.

    Singapore works very hard to keep the racial harmony. We have quite a number of policies to ensure that the different races are constantly bonding with each other. For example, we need to keep the ratio of the occupants in every single block of our flats relative to our race population ratio. For example, each floor of a HDB block will need to include 1 Indian family, 2 Malay families and maybe 4 Chinese families
