Before visiting Singapore, I heard SO many crazy things—that it’s part of China, that it’s a police state, that you’ll get jailed for chewing gum, and even that…

Do they speak English? Do they have language bearer??
As a tourist, I found the overall cost of Singapore quite high, especially for food, accommodation, museums, and other attractions. To put it into perspective, I spent around $1,500 USD on a 15-day trip to Bangkok, while I spent roughly the same amount in just 4 days in Singapore.<br><br>P.S. To be honest, I really enjoyed my time in Thailand. Singapore, on the other hand, was a completely different experience - it made me seriously question whether I even want to return.
Singaporean overall are rude to me from my last 2 visits. People that works in Singapore that are not rude to me are not Singaporean. Not trying to spread hate, it was just from my personal experience.
this is why i use hi chews
Singapore is disneyland with executions.
Thank you， Kojo, ready to move and work in Singapore❤. The explanation about “part of China” is really LMAO😅😅
Thanks for the vid, also lived here 2 decades and have had these discussions more times than I wish to when travelling.
Uhh I’m lwk late.. but yea thanks for debunking the myths about Singapore :D (I’m also Singaporean)
Singapore is excellent in all aspects except:<br>1. Hot Weather and Humid<br>2. Small and squeezy crowded with people in most places.<br>3. Expensive
Pls can someone get work with double Journey visa in Singapore pls I need help
I am from singapore
Thank you Kojo for all the positive thing you show to the world.
You are well informed - 👍👏👏
I m going to visit Singapore in December 2026
I’m a Singaporean and it’s like home like NDP songs say
Very well presented video. Lots of good information. However many developed countries are moving towards being "surveillance states". It's a nudge process. "It's for your safety" they say. Before you know it all your rights will be stripped from you. Singapore had one of the harshest lock downs during covid. Freedom of movement, freedom of speech, and freedom to choose or decline a medical procedure was denied. Governments can not be trusted with our freedoms. Singaporeans will pay heavily for that government "safety" in years to come.
trying to curry favour lol 😮
The MRT might be clean but it's not as clean as London .
Enough with the clickbait titles
Singapore uses robust public infrastructure and security cameras to maintain an exceptionally low crime rate, residents and visitors experience high personal freedom, safety, and ease of movement.
what kind of business can we do in this country?
Very good video. When you are a world traveler, you go no matter what "they" say because most of them have never been out of their town. Hostels are Definitely the way to go for hotel accommodations. Thanks you. Blessings 🙏
I wonder if they are racist towards black/African people. This is just his experience but I wonder
I can't forget the last time I stepped on chewed gum was at a rest stop somewhere on the highway from Singapore to KL. Damn to the person 😡
I went to Singapore in 2019 and I am going back this year. If it is one place I would live in the world it is Singapore. Love ittttttt
I live in Singapore and fell in love with it at first glance 😊 You got it absolutely right. Great video
Great vibes keep the videos coming
chewing gum is against the law
I just got back from Cambodia 🇰🇭 and Singapore 🇸🇬 after a month and to me Singapore is clean and all...but its to Artificial on my end...now Cambodia... all I can say is I left my heart there...😢 I enjoyed Real history Real good food and the people so nice...ill go back to Cambodia 🇰🇭 for sure...
Thank you, come visit us again! Thanks for understanding our culture and way of life.
Just came from Singapore and I ate at that exact spot where you ate: At Maxwell. They are very cheap and have varieties of food to pick from. I Love That City.
Don't forget the 4 floors of women on orchard road for your entertainment!
Little India is not so clean compared to the rest of singapore!
Thank you everything you said is true. We should have gone to Sintosa island
I have never been to Singapore but it has always been my dream destination.. can't wait for the day I set foot to this beautiful land ❤
I can't even walk my dog at 10 pm in New York.
Enjoyed this, but hated the background music!!! Really distracting. ❤
Thanks for helping to clear many misconceptions about Singapore. Glad to see you had a good time here.
as a singaporean myself, in other countries, they say "good morning teacher" but in singapore and malaysia, they say "ggggooooodddddd mmmmoooorrrnniiinngggg ttttteeeeaaaacccchhhheeerrrrrrr (boring and sleepy voice)"
#1 is so true... Here Ang Mo Kio people spit on streets, smoke in prohibited areas and trash the surrounding... but then there are other golden towns ❤
but if you are a foreigner , I guess you should come with family
i am from Singapore Yes we are a little bit like "quiet" people
I’m Singaporean too
Is this look and stay for few days and you’d leave off from Singapura or you willing to live here till you are gone?? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Great job exploring, buddy! Unlike many ignoramus westerners that just hearsay and light ears. Best way is to seek the truth and witness yourself. Great effort and happy for you that you enjoyed Singapore! Cheers!
Love your vlog,❤<br>Thank you, people usualy just think somthing about a country an d made it sound true, please come to Haitii
Glad that all those lies make people avoid coming here. Otherwise it will be too crowded.
Thanks hope you enjoy👍🙏❤️
? what are you reading ....? Singapore is one of the most successful societies in the world.
You did a fantastic job capturing Singapore in such a clear, engaging, and visually appealing way. It truly shows dedication, and I’m grateful for how you turned the idea into something so meaningful.
I’m a Singaporean and I can confirm that this video is true. And I mean, you have to be an idiot to believe that Singapore is a bad country all because of a few race riots in the past ( yes, they were race riots in the past) but not everybody is perfect, right?
All can be found in Malaysia at 1/4 the cost example Genting even though it is costly.
we have travel next month and i plan to take a taxi but after viewing this i think i will take MRT or bus for saving money too. Thank you.
Kindly help me fill the v39 form
There's a lot of filipino as well😊
As a singaporean, it’s so sad to know that some people think we’re part of china, like NOO im a singaporean Malay too🥲
❤❤❤❤❤
How expensive is renting a house?
Can we talk privately? I need some clarification, please.
The negatives n lies you were told of Singapore by supposedly "Singaporeans"are very highly possibly <br>Singapore's green eyed SEA neighbors, esp Malaysia.<br>THIS IS NO SECRET.<br>WE ARE SURROUNDED BY JEALOUS NEIGHBORS WHO WOULD STOOP TO AS LOW AS THE 💩💩💩
Born French, I live here since 1992 and became Singaporean and all you said is absolutely true... however being 67 years old, I will say it's extremely difficult to retire here and it's sad to see the large number of elderlies, including myself, work until they die.<br>But this is the most amazing safe charming multicultural and multireligious country in the world. More than 30 years here and I never heard of someone hurt or worse killing someone because they dont have the same religion... the world has so much to learn from this beautiful country!<br>Oh and btw, 34 years living here and not one fine, one arrestation for whatever reason, I know the Police is watching but I also know it's to protect us... we never had violent situation like in Europe or the US between Police and citizens and it's very precious...
Can i convert my student visa to work visa
wow such a good and helpful video
Interesting content
Food like sweet 😋🥀
clark quay and Geylang, lots of night activities if u r a night owl. lots of good food there too
Informative
As your Singaporean viewer, you have shown us sometimes we forget and becoming entitled. 😂 Please do not praise us too much, otherwise our heads<br>will get too big.<br>Tell us which African leader you admire the most? We need to be educated about African countries from your perspective 😊.
Honestly glad they banned gum, I sat on gum once and had to throw my favourite pair of jeans because it wouldnt come off no matter what I did
Singaporean here. I gotta be honest, other than the budget food, and some amazing places and scenery that you don't have to blow your bucks on. Accommodation as a tourist would likely be where you spend your money on mostly, even a budget hotel would cost you about USD80 a night, and I'm talking about bare bones a room with a bathroom with absolutely nothing else. Rooms at Marina Bay Sands? 10 years ago it was SGD500+ a night, today? I can't even imagine...<br>However, you can be well assured we are an extremely extremely safe country, you can expect nobody to steal or pick your pockets or rob you, but of course, stay vigilant, like our police constantly reminds us: "Low Crime doesn't mean No Crime!".<br>Otherwise, enjoy your stay as much as possible!<br>Don't be shy to reach out to a local to ask for directions to the best foods or the more less-touristy places!<br>It's certainly not a boring place, unless you just go about the tourist attractions, I've been living here for nearly four decades, there are still some foods right here that I have never tried!<br>Please however, be respectful to us though, as much as we appreciate and respect your presence in our home country, the least we would expect is for you to respect our ways of a peaceful life. 😊<br>Cheers!<br>Thank you Kojo for showing off my home country! ❤
Thanks yes you said those all are ready true. 👍🙏👍
Thank you Kojo for your honest reviews on Singapore. I share your views , that’s the reason why I always miss home when I am away. I am a senior living in Singapore.❤
I have live in singapore for two years is one of the best country on earth
There are plenty of four and five stars hotels cheaper than most European capitals ones. It’s my entrance hub for Asia, like Hong Kong and I feel like at home. Safer even.
Singaporean are rude beucause people there are stressful , each person strugel for living, they can raise money more but living cost is expensive, the fact they can not buy house is so sad , they just can rent a house until 100 years , then goverment took it back
Welcome in kenya 😂
Singapore is a city-state but has something for everyone.Who doesn't appreciate cleanliness, reliable, modern and affordable public transport. It has a wide variety of options for every pocket and in real terms not that expensive considering the country's wealth. Switzerland it is not. It even has reserved areas of the island for gardens and nature trails, which considering it's size, is highly commendable.
You are so right that Singaporeans just mind our own business, so much so that we can't be bothered to explain ourselves. We are busy living our own lives. Hence thank you for taking the time to explain it to the world.
I have been in Singapore 2 weeks on a training trip and accomodation was free and i had my cash in hand and those are my best memories of my life. I wish i could afford it again.
Security cameras are a good thing!!!.
Clever guy.
I'll be in Singapore this October and can't wait to experience it 😅😅😅
Very informative and well done video! It clears up any misconceptions about Singapore and I hope to come visit someday!
I am a married man who has young kids, ages 9 and 14, what would life be like for them
Walking alone in 2 am mornings like you are an avengers
Read betwern the lines in Englidh carefully brothet. You are not alone.
Singaporeans don't randomly talk to strangers. We need time to warm up. Yes if you're lost, we will help you to find your ways. But if you're there to sell things or preach your religion then we will not stop to listen to you.
Fake by Anarchist.
Lie ? What did they tell you ?
Look at self in the mirror, pl
The West is full of shitty LIES and PROPAGANDA! Why they didn't tell you that Singapore is so safe to walk alone at the middle of the night? Can normal Americans do this shit in America?<br><br> In Singapore, you don't see beggars and homeless folks on the street and the street were clean and why the Western media never talks about this except their fake democracy and human rights?
Great for being honest 😮😮😮
You have internet right?
Those who live and work in Singapore find it expensive but you that comes from Africa found it cheap and affordable🙄
Don't bring gum in even for personal consumption. It's a contraband. You'll be fined. By law. Lol
Singapura. Its just modern city .better explore real place like indonesia,thailand or vietnam
Good job!!! Thanks for setting the record straight!! Happy and blessed 2026.
One of the safest places to walk late at night. Their metro trains work flawlessly. Affordable meals at little India and body wear at Mostafa.
Youre never welcome... dont come
Thank you for visiting my lovely country Singapore. I totally and deeply appreciate how you have stated those lies and corrected them with the all right facts; especially the one that had confused many including China Chinese, that Singapore belongs to China. That is truly 100% wrong!! <br><br>💪Singapore is Singapore. The Chinese here are Singapore Chinese. 🙏🙏🙏😊 <br>Thank you and you are always welcome to visit Singapore 🇸🇬 again and again 😊
