Born and living in Singapore for 64 years now!!! I have travelled to most countries in Asia, and a few in Europe! But I am always glad to be home again! No where else could I see peacefully, but in my homeland!! Law and Order in Singapore is Top Notch!!! And a very caring government, zero corruption Cleanest city, and everyone is living in peace and harmony!! What more can one ask for! I always tell my children that you can go anywhere in the World, but always return to Singapore for this is our Motherland!! We are Blessed to be Singaporeans 🙏❤️
I visited Singapore several years ago and was struck by how well everything works. It’s just a well-run, highly organized, prosperous city. It’s clean (not a single candywrapper on the ground anywhere), safe (didn’t feel threatened even walking alone at night), has great public transportation, lovely pockets of green spaces everywhere, fabulous food scene, and conveniences for its citizens, among others. Singapore is just the place to ride out the next four bleak years in America.
Singapore may be "clean" only at areas where tourists usually go. If you go to some residential areas, rubbish is strewn all over the place and left unswept for days and even weeks.
You are welcome to come back again anytime at your convenience. To keep Singapore clean needs everybody’s help and effort, cannot just rely on the cleaners. Must also educate new citizens.
Singapore is not expensive...we have one of the highest wage in the world. If you eat in restaurant every day and drive a car, yes, you will feel the strain. I have witness a family of 4 each has a car...i asked myself why? There is no winter in Singapore, best public TPT system, everything you need are within 3.5 Km distant in average. Our government flats are well built, safe and beautifully layout.....i travelled to more than 30 cities for work..i will say, Singapore is NOT the most expensive country to live in the world.
I lived in Singapore with my parents way back in the late 60's. I return this year (2nd June2024) for a visit with my son. I was amazed at the change. It is a beautiful country, very modern but expensive nowadays. Some of the sights are astounding. Sad that it all changed from the 60's memories but wow. Singapore should be so proud of what it has become
Just sad for him only as he only recall from his memories of 60s and that already not in Singapore anymore. Singapore has already transformed with a new identity and I understand quite a lot of Singaporean left In the 60s and 70s to US, UK, Australia and Canada with high hope in these countries.
@@rosidahariff2365Have you ever in your life as a Singaporean,climbed the overhead pedestrian crossing, you will have noticed this feature. Unless you don’t use pedestrian crossings, I have nothing to say ! 😂😂
8:38 - Those are zig-zag lines. They're not there to increase driver attentiveness. They indicate that there is a pedestrian crossing ahead and no overtaking, parking, or waiting is allowed on that section of the road. 9:32 - It was a police station a long time ago (prior to 1980), after that it was designated a heritage site and turned into a shopping arcade. Between 1999 & 2012, it was called MITA & MICA building and eventually renamed back into "Old Hill Street Police Station" even though it no longer operates as one. Very cool looking building in the drab of the city.
actually he's not wrong. those zig-zag lines had being designed that way cos it plays a trick on the brains of the driver (misconception of road narrowing).
0:40 this is the bukit panjang lrt line, not mrt. because of space constrain, the tracks are built very close to the housing and thus the window will "mist" to protect residence privacy. this is a feature that is only for the bukit panjang lrt line, not any other mrt or lrt lines in singapore the feature however, is faulty, especially for many of the older trains so they are permanently "mist" instead of only misting when required
Yes. Bt panjang LRT sucks, not because of poor maintenance or neglect but because of its mere existence. It gives LTA a good excuse of providing poor bus service in Bt Panjang. If we can all see the tapping of ez card, we will probably see most users of this LRT are centered around CCK and Teck Whye and get off at Bt Panjang Interchange, not many users are in the actual Bt Panjang region.
Please do not feed or catch stray/wild animals that wander freely around Singapore, also do not pluck any fruits you saw on the tree in public 😊 Thou Singapore have many laws and fine but if you look at most of it, those laws are meant for uncivilised and anti-society behaviour only.
Thumb up. Very happy. But quite a number, I did not get to see. LAZy to leave the house. You forgotten the Rojah Languages. That is One Singapore. Horah!!!!!!!😊
Hi Moderator... just to let you know that the picture of performance at Singapore General Hospital is incorrect. That performance area is actually Tan Tock Seng Hospital.. i see it all the time 😊
On a serious note, I do sometimes go to hospital open spaces to relax and while away the time. Somehow I do find it very relaxing! Friendly ghosts around to soothe me? Perhaps!! 😂😂
4:52 umm actually they're all saying the same thing just in different languages. 😅 Though it is compulsory in Singapore to learn 2 languages, (english and your mother tongue of choice:chinese, tamil or malay) we are not required to learn all four official languages.
@@Black_Sun_Dark_Star because we have some of them way earlier than most… and standards were high when a lot of countries lack of these. Eg. MRT started in SG in the late 1980s. Other than Japan, Taiwan and HK, most countries do not have them. In fact, SG MRT even the old ones look pretty good. HK ones other than newly renovated shops, the public areas looked way dilapidated. So perhaps it’s not just about having them first to give your citizens comfort much earlier, but constantly upgrading them to advance with time.
I was in Singapore last year and i took the subway from place to place and i can't understand why most Singaporean can't wait for the commuters to get off the train's cabin first before they enter into the train. I noticed during stopover at each station, the people just rush in before the other people could get out.
@@Paul-H-Wolfram6608 usually foreigners. They don’t know the meaning of the lines by the side of the doors on the floor. Out of 6m population, close to 1/3 are foreigners working in SG from the region.
Actually, commuters do usually let people get out of the train first. I put out my hand in front of me to deter them from rushing forward as I exit the train.
This article was first published on March 27, 2017, and updated on May 9, 2017. SINGAPORE - People engrossed with their mobile phones at two pedestrian crossings in Singapore may no longer have to look up to know when to cross - thanks to new LED strips embedded in the pavements. The LED strips are at the junction of Buyong Road and Orchard Road, near the Istana; and the Victoria Street crossing outside Bugis Junction.
What they forgot to tell you is that our trains ALWAYS Breakdown especially when we need to go to work... new lines that open can breakdown on just the 2nd day etc... More crime is happening here and then the innocents suffer.. ppl are overly stressed etc... so yea.. want to live in sg? think again.
It’s part of their culture to be considerate and think of others and societal good. It’s ingrained. Originated with Confucian philosophy. It’s an irony that it’s the Chinese race that’s guilty of straying from our own ancient philosophy.
@@jonyap1724 unlike Japan, Singapore’s residential population consists of 1/3 foreigners, usually from the neighbouring countries working here. It’s quite impossible for SG govt to impose compulsory cultural education prior to them getting jobs in SG.
The only thing is peace and artificial cleanliness with heavy fines. Not a really cultured country but superficial festivities. Besides the natural disaster free blessing, the island could do better with her rich revenues with more efficiency in the broadband and rail systems. The costs of living sulks.
Official languages? Sorry but the National Language of Singapore is Malay or Bahasa Malayu..English is only the official language of business..oh and people lining up in an orderly fashion for the subway? Yeah nah...generally people push and shove and even block people from exiting because they want to get a seat and all those flags we see on National Day? Most of them are put up for govt..while many people do also put up you will find as years go by..less and less people have been putting them up because you can not put up a faded or torn flag and you get charged for a new one and they only last about a year or so..some of this stuff is very amusing..patrol robots? Never seen one in the 24 years I lived here..must be some very specific area..
It is a sovereign country. Singapore has its own flag 🇸🇬. It is the world’s only island city state that belongs to no one but herself, Singapore. Hawai is an island state but it belongs to the United States of America.
Singapore has added many initiatives to make life easier & inclusive. You will surely appreciate them when you need them one day. Many facilitiea in other countries in the region are not elderly or disability friendly.
Is it amazing?!Do u want to travel to Singapore?😻
A simple like on the video would mean a lot to me🫶🏻

And Singapore is racist. Just ask the non-Chinese. Racist as hell.
But Americans call this a dictatorship where almost everything the is controlled by the government. Not sure if it’s acceptable to you!
If only they can do something to the weather

Clean and safe for travellers with families, elderly, disabled and especially women.
loved it video so much

Amazing attention to details. Thank you for showcasing. V interesting facts.
As a Singaporean even I didn't know (eg. double railing).
@@rosidahariff2365Have you ever in your life as a Singaporean,climbed the overhead pedestrian crossing, you will have noticed this feature. Unless you don’t use pedestrian crossings, I have nothing to say ! 😂😂
@jamesng9811 yes, I have but not all overhead bridges have same features.
If all the intesting facts, I am aware of at least three quarters of them.

Well-presented of my country! The only mistake was the hospital pic. It's Tan Tock Seng Hospital, not Singapore General Hospital.
The hospital shown at 4:58 is Tan Tock Seng Hospital, not Singapore General Hospital.
Yeah, SGH has art therapy display.
6:35 That building is not located at Jalan Bukit Merah. It is located in between Selegie Road and Short Street.

Not going to lie, I had seen most of those things you highlighted in other places - But the Norwegian Salmon Vending machine......you got me there lol
There is one at Bukit batok east Ave !!
I’ve seen one in Tampines, and wonder who would buy salmon from this machine. True enough, it disappeared in less than a month.
