It's entire story and Lee Kuan Yew fascinates me.

I've always wanted to visit. Probably the only Asian country aside from maybe Hong Kong with a degree of English competency.
Glad you were able to go.

I wouldn't visit if I were youbg and single, there isn't much to do here. 3 day holiday max.

Stupid post really.

Kitchens in Singapore are nowhere near as big as in the west as Singaporeans just eat cheap from the local hawker. No need to have ovens/stove for Asian style cooking either. Finally the dude that lives in the above kitchen is clearly a slob. I've been in loads of HDBs, kitchens are never that small/dirty.

You're talking about the average HDB when I specifically said "poor HDB" dummy.

Example at 8:40 mark.


Throughout this whole series filmed at poor HDBs every kitchen is tiny and some just as dirty, cluttered as the pic.

Singapore's government flats (HDBs) are perfectly fine inside.

Even if there aren't slumlords, do they have tenants as bad we as we do? Cats spray paintin on the walls, punching and kicking holes in walls, stealing/selling appliances, letting animals shyt and piss on the floor?

I've seen the slumlord apartments where plumbing is fukked up and buildings aren't up to code etc, but I've also seen the nice ones where the tenants should get beat or jailed for the dumb shyt.

I've heard it's a boring city that doesn't have a soul. It's like a movie set,

Streets need that Singapore AMA

By the metrics this seems like the G.O.A.T. country in the world right now

It is also the biggest nanny country in the world. The people themselves are overworked and underpaid. There's really nothing to do within the country due to Covid measures being more extreme than most countries.

All around GOAT measures to combat riffraff but WOAT ways of living.

Read about their leader recently, ran into it while grinding Leetcode:
Leetcode - Singapore prime minister Lee Hsien Loong’s Sudoku Solver code runs in 1ms



Dude has been the PM going back to 2004 and a lot of love by the people. Apparently his dad was the country's PM at one point.

But how he really is truly or not from papers, news & on TV & what he really can do, will do that’s another things altogether. I...
