I am Taiwanese American living in Taiwan now. I worked in Singapore for three years and half. Love the amazing country of Singapore! I hope to be able to work in SG again!
Taiwan is nice for vacation, very green, lots of beautiful sites outside the city. But when you are actually living there, you’ll soon find out that the lifestyle is more suitable for senior citizens or orderly individuals. Everything is involved with eatery, night market, etc. If you actually like to party, drinking, social, dancing, meetup, hookup, SG is far better and more liberal
singaporeans are rude
So low paid in Taiwan. And the cities in Taiwan looks so poor compared to singapore
@@exjock4foodie every country have its pros and cons. Why the need to nitpick?
@@exjock4foodie it looks poor but they are actually not poor at all. Most buildings are old due to early development and zoning laws. Developers have no desired to tear down and rebuild them with laws that are less profitable or favorably to the business. And the low pay is due to over supply of universities and college grads.
Very interesting interview, love this video very much. Thanks for sharing.
It really depends on what you want. If u want the chaos, hustle and buzz. Hong Kong is for you. If u want calm, chill vibes, pleasant streets and surroundings, people giving you way on the streets, then Singapore is for you.
Also, according to the Democracy Index, Singapore is a flawed democracy while Hong Kong is a hybrid regime. For me, I’d choose Singapore too.
“According to the Democracy Index” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Jesus fucking Chris 😂😂😂😂😂 this fucking guy 😂😂😂😂😂 I can’t 😂😂😂😂😂😂
it's beyond evident you know so little that you're not even at the point of realising why and what you don't know about what you don't know when it comes to the intersection of politics and life values in the developed asian economies.
crazy that youve been pigeon-holed so deeply you have the confidence to construe your opinion as informed
SIngapore is not a flawed democracy Hong Kong is not a hybrid regime either Singapore is a democratic country and is one of the most democratic countries the government or the people's action party has to make sure it gives it's best for the people otherwise it could be ruled out I think Singapores democracy is better than the US's and west the western press is biased they have their own thoughts and even if they're not true they will publish things if somebody publishes something about Singapore and it's not true Singapore will go back to them and say you correct this you correct it we don't want false information Singapore doesn't allow lies to be sent around the community politicians can't lie in Singapore they can lie in other countries and they do, but not Singapore and politicians in Singapore have a better standard I think the US and the west can learn things from Singapore by respecting all religions and races no racism perfect harmony, no tolerance for corruption big punishments for corruption America is one of the least corrupt countries and Singapore is one of the least corrupt countries and is less corrupt than the US I think there should be heavier punishments for corruption. A good government a government that thinks long term doesn't think about it being re elected and its own personal agenda for the politician, looking after the interests of the people and fining people for littering, spitting on the road another thing In the US there is gun violence the US has the most gun violence, I think there should be strict gun control, and strict background checks the problem is the NRA and republicans don't want to do anything about it Singapore is very safe and is one of the safest countries and more peaceful than the US, and another thing is that there is corruption of lobbying in the US, and west in Singapore lobbying isn't allowed and illegal there is also a better quality of life in Singapore than the US, and yes a higher life expectancy in Singapore than the US there is also no natural disaster in Singapore and Singapore has one of the highest savings rate in the world and higher GDP per Capita than the US and income tax rates in Singapore are quite low between 2 percent to 24 percent or 22 percent Singapore is also an easier place of doing business than the US people are more friendly in Singapore I think Singapore is really nice Singapores healthcare system is better than the healthcare system in the US and the best Singapore isn't perfect though no country is, but in my opinion SG is better than the US I think the government of Singapore is better than the government of the US Singapore airlines is the best airline Singapore's passport is stronger than the US's Singapores story is phenomenal in such a short 30 40 or 50 years it became a developed country and rich country Singapores infrastructure is also better than the US's. The US's foreign policy is problematic bad I think Singapore is the best country this is my point of view though in Singapore they're also trying to solve the problems I don't think democracy is the answer I think it depends on the quality of the leader, things being based on merit. No corruption or low corruption and a good administration and if a country has a good democracy or benevolent good dictatorship, benevolent dictator than I think that is good otherwise than that is bad there can even be problems in a democracy like what if a lot of people are uneducated illiterate that is bad and many are unemployed there is a lot of corruption a bad administration things aren't based on merit that is bad what if there is casteism and communalism that is bad and if the quality of the leader isn't good that is bad what is there is also gender discrimination and regionalism even that is bad. Lee Kuan Yew is my favorite politician. My current favorite politician is Narendra Modi Modi ji. You can use the public transportation like the Buses and metro and it's one of the best, one of the cheapest, and one of the safest in Singapore. In the US you have to drive or go on a vehicle you mostly rely on vehicles. Singapores Changi airport is the best airport. I am not into democracy, I think and believe there are alternatives and I think democracy slows down the progress I don't think democracy is the best form of government today we also agree that diversity of thought and diversity of governance is important, but for some reason, when it comes to democracy the west, thinks that it's one size fits all, this is why we need a better form of democracy for more people around the world. Senegal has democracy Kenya has democracy, the Southside of Chicago in America has democracy in fact it is the most democratic government in the world yet there is no safety in the Southside of Chicago there is no safety at Compton there is no safety in the slums of Kenya so the idea that democracy provides you with safety and opportunity and only democracy does that is wrong. The idea of democracy that one vote = 1 say is flawed because even if everybody deserves a voice not every voice is equal in value. I don't think a uneducated person on the street should have a say of the Nuclear policy of the United States or the UK. let's make that the whole government let's make the smartest 2,000 people in a country choose the direction of the country democracy only works when the population is sufficiently educated and that is not the case in 90% of the world. In a functioning government where there's smart people that are able to make decisions they would say no to Adolf Hitler they would say no to Donald J Trump because the average person could tell there's something wrong with this leader we should not allow them to manipulate the rest of the population this is why democracy is dangerous every leader comes and promises you a business seat in their plane, but they don't know how to fly a plane. There is a better form of governance that we can explore together and it's not dictatorship we don't like dictatorship I also don't like dictatorship, but not the whole world wants to live by the ideals of one country. Nas daily uploaded a video a year ago titled is Democracy good or bad and debated with Alex I agree with Nuseir I don't think Democracy is the answer. Yes Singapore is not an American style democracy thankfully which is obsessed with labels/form/ ideology rather than substance. Hence this endless agonising over whether a country is democratic or socialist/ communist. Unlike America, Singapores leaders from the outset were pragmatic and focused on economic development in order to improve the living standards of their people. And they have been spectacularly successful in delivering the fruits of good governance of their people. Singapore has a parliamentary system based on the Westminster model, have one man one vote free elections every 5 years. Singapore elections are legitimately free and fair because even key ministers have been unseated at the ballot box in the past. Typically 2/3 of the population vote for the ruling PAP People's Action party because of their excellent track record of good governance, not because they don't have a free choice. Almost any Singaporean can run for parliament with an election deposit of about SGD13,000. In the US, you cannot run for political office unless you have lots of money. In 2020, USD 8 billion was spent on congressional races. American democracy has degenerated to a plutocracy where it's rule by the elite 1% for the elite 1%. Ordinary Americans have seen declining living standards in the past 30 years, and it must be cold comfort to the more than 653,000 homeless Americans that they live in the world's most powerful democracy. Big business interests are allowed. to lobby and donate money to politicians, making office holders beholden to them In Singapore, this is corruption and illegal. So it's not surprising that they often serve the interests of their rich donors rather than their constituents. Abraham Lincoln said democracy is a rule of the people , for the people and by the people. On that test, it would seem that Singapore is more democratic than the U.S. Singapore is way more democratic than many countries including the U.S. with the 2 party system and lobbying framework. Singapore is a successful democracy.
@@aravchandra3572 I agree with 99% of what you stated here about Singapore. Just 2 issues:
1. please use fullstops. Your kb has no fullstop ?
2. I don't like Modi. He is a divisive figure and supports the extremists in BJP factions. His gang came to attack my parents home town in Surat during the Gujarat riots. They even threatened to "rape the women and girls". Modi approved the attack. But luckily our male relatives were armed and stood their ground to save the town from th extremist marauders from BJP. In fact my cousins personally knew the background of some of the marauders. Local guys were BJP supporters and hate Christians, Muslims and other religions. So nope, Modi is not a good man to a lot of people in India and Indians of other religions overseas too.
Wow, your channel is really growing superfast. Congratulations bro! Keep up the great work.
Thanks a ton!
I am a sg citizen but still cannot decide to leave hk and go back sg. Hk is a paradise for outdoor lovers. Many mountains and country parks.
Please don't come back, Singapore doesn't miss nor need you🙏
That is provided you are fit and strong.😊
Just stay where your heart says that you're comfortable with. ❤
how has HK been since the chinese take over? ive heard its gone downhill a lot?
You can get arrested anytime in China. Not fr me, I love my freedom 100% just don't like living in fear. Good luck !
No Hiking in Singapore? Nah, lots of good options. I was there in March and between the rail trails , the southern ridges, and the Botanical Gardens had a hoot of a time. Sure, all of these were best tackled early in the morning, but that only means the National Gallery is even more fun in the afternoon. Oh, and a Singapore hack. Get yourself an Insider Membership for the Gallery. Saves a small fortune and gets the nod from all the Gallery staff.
Singaporean and PR do not need to pay entrance fee to visit Museums
Hiking in Hong Kong cannot be compared to Singapore. The level of difficulty and the rewarding magnificent views puts Singapore's trails to shame. Our trails are too man-made
Hikes mean the trail needs to have elevation. Not flat land which is Sg.
I went to Singapore for business over ten times in different months. Even in the early morning, I couldn't go outside. It was too hot for me. I have no desire to visit for fun.
@jasonlucas2328 it's not so much a country to go hiking as much as its a sightseeing city to go eat chilli crab and durian, enjoy nice shopping malls, walk around with your family safely at night to enjoy a movie or just check out chinatown or little India.
If ur idea of having fun is hiking then probably go somewhere not in south east asia.
Fantastic interview once again!! Great guests (and host). One of the only channels I watch immediately when a new video is dropped. Thank you!!
Same here..❤❤😊 even I watch it immediately 😊
I lived in hk for quite sometime, but still find sg more interesting , with better infrastructure, bigger home n more parks n greenery.
Singapore is just a small island with buildings. Boring.
More parks and greenery? What do you call the hiking trails, outlying Islands and mountains in HK - fake nature?
@nikkicherry6559 ya...boring. go US it's huge.
Bro, HK got more greenery, but most of their flats are cramp and no views….singapore got higher percentage of flats with nature view, thats what they mean
@@norman6499 Check out the New Territories. My view is all mountains and hills. Check out Discovery Bay, Repulse Bay, Lamma Island, Sai Kung, Stanley, etc. You don't know much about HK. You're so ignorant it's not even funny
Singapore is in a very unique position where despite being a democracy, one party has been dominant since her founding. Hence Singapore has the political stability of an authoritarian state, while retaining the safety net of democracy.
This empowers the Singapore government to think in terms of generations when they plan for the future, as opposed to election cycles. However, Singapore remains a democracy, so the government still needs to answer to the people.
You don't call your parents authoritarian when they stop you from taking drugs. You can't call your government you voted in authoritarian when they perform to your expectation. Likewise you don't change your spouse if she/he is good, just because of democracy.
@@acpanda6372 Agree, democracy these days especially in the west is just a word of convenient excuse for people to stir nonsense or to cater to their agender/interest .
Even though Singapore does not have real mountains to hike, but I think our Park Connector system is awesome and allows people to enjoy it, be it a short hike or a round island coast-to-coast hike.
Very insightful. "Succulent" & descriptive opinions from Donald👍
Max , you know where to interview people on Vblog . good mindset
Been commuting frequently between HK and SG. Love both places, each have areas which they excel in and honestly don't see the point in constantly comparing the two.
Most sensible comment
Totally agree… I’m Singaporean and have never been to HK. Am always irritated when people try to compare countries. Just like how an individual - whether among the same race, or between different ethnic groups - differs one from another, it’s what makes the human race unique and interesting. One needs to have an open mindset and learn to embrace diversity, and respect our differences. That’ll bring peace and harmony instead of strife. Maybe I’m just being naive… but hopeful.
you can easily go to all the neighbouring countries for hiking over the weekend or long weekend - malaysia/thailand/indonesia and even HK
My family is from Hong Kong and I absolutely love Singapore. For me life in Singapore is so much better than Hong Kong!
Yes hk buildings are very dirty n old. People live in cages.
@@amyg1073 Totally agree. Although my family are Cantonese speakers, I find it very difficult to communicate with the locals in English as my use of Cantonese is very marginal. Communicating in English to Friends and Family in Singapore makes it much easier for me.
@@amyg1073Yes, we're all poor in HK and live in tiny cages.
@@robocop581lol she's interacting with the wrong crowd...
That's because you've lost the honger in you. If you understood the hk mentality and history and laguage....you'll be able to compare apples to apples
I hope the next trend is that ppl realize hyper growth is toxic and instead of waning things fast and cheap, they want sustainability and want LESS THINGS.
We need more people like him to set up a company and contribute to the Singapore economy.Sharp intelligence sophisticated with great personality 😊
Singapore 29°C pretty much all year.
In HK the temperature can range from 1°C to 25°C with a nice and cool average of 16°C from Dec to March.
Take your pick
Dude, i swim in the naturally heated pool from the sun and kids play waterplayground in the noon everyday.
By the way, Hot sun dont come out everyday in singapore.
Singapore is a rich playground. Not really for commoner to busk under hot sun.
@@norman6499 I'm not in the pool all day and can also swim in naturally heated pools in HK pools in the warmer months. Even if the sun doesn't come out the temp is still near 29°C. You've never experienced 16°C cool weather in Singapore so I of course you're gonna say it's okay where you are. As for basking under hot sun, do you really think rich people in HK behave any differently?
@@robocop581 your that so call heated pool is still cold water la uncle, stop bluffing yourself la…HK is just on the news today for negative stuff, china worse….lets stop all your delusional dreams abt Hk…its dead at least for the next 10 years
Thanks
Extremely informative! If yall are ever in San Francisco please let me know, would love to buy a coffee for you and chat.
In India we never say " buy a coffee for you". Instead we say let's meet for a Coffee. If you say you will buy coffee for the other person, then it's like trying to demean and belittle the other person
Friendly, helpful people, Singapore's top asset. They anticipate your asking for help, show you how to buy tickets and walk you to the LRT stations. Asia's gentlemen and women.
Hey Max: Can you do video interviewing ex-Singaporeans with their SG citizenship re-instated? This will be exciting.

You were talking about accents, and he was asked where he was from. Based on his current speech pattern, it's an amalgam of where he has spent time (Singapore and HK) where they have a different cadence and delivery. All the words are clear, but it doesn't sound like what people are used to.
He said white shirt and blue shorts as a student. You can make a guess..ACS boy in primary school?
17:18 hmm package it into bonds n sell to insurance companies.....reminds me of 2008.....
Taxpayers bailed them out, they'll repeat it, because they'll be bailed out again anyways.
Great video, but I wish you would have asked about Malaysia since it is just across the causeway. I would have loved to hear what he thought would happen when the RTS is completed for example.
This is a feedback to you regarding the above video ;
1. The title said he should compare SG Vs HK and why he chose Sg......so slipshod
2. More than 50% of the time he is introducing his service - title and content don't gel
3. Max, u went on to ask more questions about his service instead of what the title should be, I cant help but thinking, he paid you
4. Went round and round sharing high net worth asset etc etc , buy this mortgage this etc, totally irrelevant w the title
I watch your video because i want true perspective about what foreigners think about my country (SG)
If you start to become commercialize, then have deviated from your original intention.

Despite the old Hk, I would still prefer to stay in Sg.
For better Air n more spacious in lanndscape 😊
Hard work pays off, it doesn’t guarantee you win but it pays off
Some people prefer want work life balance. But the worse lot is those who want high pay and also work life balance.
Think Donald Klip a smart man who speak sensibly in clear manner.
Thanks for the sharing.

Hi Max, thought I heard you pronounced Changi as Chanki ? :)
Bukit Timah is a very nice mountain trail for all ages. Singapore is far better than Hongkong in many aspects.
superficial and no substance. I live in HK and for the past three weeks, I went to Singapore three times. What you have touched upon is a bit too high level without detailed comparison with data to support your claim. therefore, I found this is rather a personal opinionated piece without much content
If you have money (esp old money) HK is definitely a better place to live..the beautiful seaside and peak mansions, picturesque windy roads, the huge yachting and sailing scenes, the extremely exclusive and expensive private clubs, the choice of amazing restaurants, the large supercar circles, numerous idyllic islands and beaches, proximity to Macau and mainland China, the bustling New York style city life and party scenes, all the fashion parities (esp when HK has 4 seasons) hk has it all and there are lots that Singapore can’t compare with
The climate alone is better in HK.
HK has a cool season with an avg temp of 16°C from Dec to March.
Singapore climate is a stale 29°C all year which would drive me nuts.
of course!!! Singapore is the best country in the world!!!
Love Singapore, but do not know how welcoming they are to living here....
Singapore is super small….
There are at least 21 countries who are smaller in Singapore. It is not really a super small country, considering it's big floor areas, wall areas, tunnel areas, park connector areas, maritime areas, etc. Singapore port is the 2nd busiest seaport in the whole world. Singapore is an archipelago of at least 64 islands. Their number of parks and trees are more than the other bigger countries.
Singapore is also growing continously in size. It has ongoing land reclamations and future land reclamations. Time will come, it will overtake in size some of those countries bigger than her right now.
Rentals are not that much different anymore I have to say, and property in HK is at an all-time low this decade and maybe century, and the stamp duty for foreigners to buy freehold property in SG is too high. I agree with this, in general Singapore is better due to its economic and political stability, however HK is still a great place to be (at least if you are single) or there for a number of years.
HK is way more interesting and vibrant
"How do I meet high-level people" = "Rich people". Don't do this Max. I liked your channel when it was about culture and you kept it real. Now I see only rich banker types (or non-bank moneylenders!) who are clearly off in terms of facts...who don't seem to know that property prices in Singapore have seen 40% to 60%increase - the highest ever......but hey, why let facts get in the way of a good story right? I found all the cultural conversations in your early episodes really interesting, but you are losing me with your preference for 'high-level' people now.....
Agreed. It's very skewed towards whites, westerners, high earners.Not a single non white non westerner average earner.
Not a single Asian or middle eastern person.
There is a shared common thing between Singapore and Hong Kong. They both are very expensive to live in and doesn't welcome average people locals or international. It is not very informational to interview wealthy people and hear their personal experiences and opinions.
Msx's channel is all geared towards high earners, westerners, whites, not a single average earner, non white. Very lopsided and unbalanced views.
His other videos cover expats from other social economic situations.
Because Singapore is much hotter and more humid year-round than Hong Kong, so that he can spend more time near an air-conditioned.
Singapore has the best hawkers and their price is affordable unlike HK where food is expensive
If you have money anywhere is good
That’s pretty much true actually
Probably he love the hot and humid climate 🌞🥵 in Singapore and also the local Singapore food. 😁 😆 🤣
I can't believe anyone is still having this conversation. I guess it's different for someone with that much money, but there is no shortage of Chinese from both HK and the mainland trying to get their money out of China. Australia is just one market for Chinese investors, even as our government finally looks like clamping down on unoccupied dwellings. Whatever ebbs and flows might happen here, money talks in Canada, the UK etc - Chinese buyers will simply move on.
th-cam.com/video/YLfqH1WsS5U/w-d-xo.html
I haven't been back to Thailand for several years, but I recall Chinese buyers being welcomed with open arms by the real estate industry there. Sure, Singapore is safer but I never had personal safety problems in Bangkok or anywhere else in country. I can't speak for billionaires, but anyone living in Singapore can fly to Thailand in 2 hours if all they are missing is 'excitement' - the world is literally your oyster from Changi. It's a no-brainer for mine.
This man sounds completely asian,as an english guy there is no american accent

I am Hongkonger and I am not interested moving to Singapore. I like the weather in Hong Kong, and the law in Hong Kong is not as strict as Singapore.
SG is much better designed towards future. HK is short-sighted and also HK people are so mean. SG people are so warm.

The British having lost Singapore in the sixties had an axe to grind and HK was the tool. [With Singapore's Independence in August 1965, Singapore was practically thrown into the wilderness. Nobody ever asked the very obvious question, "Why did the Brits not offered any kind of military or other assistance for the new country?". To add insult to injury, they took back all the military aircraft, equipment, ammunition, log stock and barrel. Don't forget, Singapore was British HQ Far East Air, Sea and Land Forces. All that remained were immovable buildings. This is precisely what is happening to HK today.]
Most of British trade was centred in Singapore, hence all logistics, finance, shipping goes through Singapore. The Brits built HK to rival Singapore and everything shifted to HK. For more than 30 years, the British leadership (including HK governing class) has little or no contact with Singapore. They made sure Singapore is always below HK in global rankings with input from majority British/European Institutions having a biased attitude. This gives the HK people a sense of superiority they did not really earn themselves. (Now they are starting to insert NZ into the mix). It was the fiat USD that powers HK, hence the fall of USD will bring down HK. What the British cannot do is, bring up the value of the HKD. The most important fact is CPC will never allow HK to surpass Beijing or Shanghai or let the people used HK as a template to change the political landscape of the 2 cities.
Too much chip on shoulder. Britain has relegated itself to the dustbin and has no wherewithal to change others opinion of Britain leave along HK or SG. SG came up by its hard work
So absolutely true….what they can’t take with them back to Britain were those immovable and were eventually “sold” to Singapore, like the Alexandra hospital. The hospital was built mainly for the British military and their own kind. No locals were ever entertained there. When the Japanese army came, the Japanese used the hospital for themselves and when they left, everything in there was ruined. When the British finally left Singapore in 1970, they sold it to the Singapore govt for $1.
In the early 20s to 50s, the British would ship Indian prisoners from India to Singapore mainly for construction works, so most British buildings and churches here were built by Indian prisoners and Chinese coolies….if anyone were to say Singapore was well off and prosperous in those days were mainly the Brits and wealthy foreigners living off the sweat and tears off the backs of the poor locals doing all the hard laborious works for them. Singapore was a trading port back then, yes, but all its earnings were shipped back to Britain to feed the British empire. What Singapore is today is all the hard work of our own government, namely the PAP and may God bless LKY and his legacy forever.
That’s all because sg as a nation itself is still a member of commonwealth. But hk is a city which belongs to the Chinese govt.

Most Americans don't consider HK as fun or hippie since CCP took over security
Really ?
@@Paul-H-Wolfram6608 yeah the extradition and silencing of opposition is not a good look.
I'm sure the day to day hasn't changed all that much yet but it will continue to lose autonomy.
Yes it has changed. But "Hippy" was never a term people would have associated with HK.
There were hundreds of CIA in Hong Kong before having the national security law.
not to mention HK is now under chinese rule sadly :(
HK itself is in steep decline after the implementation of the National Security Law. No way will it be a direct competitor to Singapore anymore just a few years down the road.
Singapore is actually more strict than HK. You have caning and death penalty in Singapore for crying out loud
FTX make many money by taking client money
As a Singaporean, i didnt know an eraser was called a rubber
Of course, he's a millionaire. Wealthy people would love SG, not average poor people
Thank you for this wonderful video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,l just don't know what I do wrong
Well...l will advise you should stop
trading on your own if you keep losing
and start trading with an expert
because trading with an expert is the
best strategy for newbie...

if you are rich, singapore is the best place in the world to be in.
The city of HK is dead few years ago……
My typical Asian was worrying Why they are wearing shoe inside the house? I hope that is not a house 😂
It’s not :)
Singapore doesn't had ""God's father, sugar daddy. Honey mummy, now stepfather 🤣
To abandoned us to rush to build a 20B airport, before the handover 👋🏼
We are on our own, crawling out of the ""tunnel of darkness"" 😮

Yawn

In Singapore u can literally swim in naturally heated pool, waterplay ground in the afternoon everyday. In HK u cant.
In singapore , u can leisurely walk safely around without fear of people crowding you if u are famous.
In singapore, you can go to casinos easily everyday.
In singapore, most public members will look out for children, will not do or say “adults” stuff if they see kids around.
In singapore, most of the things, infrastructure, u see are curated towards child friendly in terms of education, development, greenery exposure.
In singapore, u can feel safe for a kid as young as 8 years old to go home by themselves.
There is a reason why most expats praise sg for being family friendly place.
In HK, the above mentioned are a fucking no no.
Load of crap. We have an outdoor pool in our condo in HK. It's naturally heated Dufus.
Singapore: Flat Terrain, no beautiful mountains or hills, fake beaches, 29°C all year, COE is SGD$105,000.
BTW, my kids took public transportation alone in HK at age 11. HK is also pretty much crime free despite not having caning and death penalty.
HK infrastructure is very good. In fact MTR is more efficient than Singapore's.
HK has a high speed train 142 km length at 350 kmh top speed and 55 km bridge to Macao. Any bullet trains in Singapore to Malaysia?
As for casinos, that's a positive?
@@robocop581 u think i never travel to HK before LOL…who u wan to bluff? Hongkong is only good for visiting as a tourist to see the old run down building, eat the old gd chinese food, other than that, thats it. Mountain? You are talking as if only HK got mountain…
@@norman6499 Yes, you've never been to HK. Do you know how many outlying Islands and beaches we have? Go ahead Einstein, I'm waiting
@@norman6499 So how many times have you climbed Mt. Singapore? I heard it's taller than Mt. Everest 😂
@@robocop581with people like you, is it any wonder hk is going downward?
Singapore is soo boring! Habibi come to Dubai, lol
Def Hong Kong. Singapore is too boring. We take a car to Macau to gamble. Commuting to outer cities in the mainland like shenzhen etc. China is the country!!!
In the old days half the populace of hk risk their lives to escape cn to seek freedom in hk. This trait is slowly fading in hk...as the older generations are fading...but is still very visible in their offspring This trait in the dna makes all the difference and the sg government can't engineer this form of hustle dna out of policy.
Hong Kong that the world once knew is over . Very sad . Not with the draconian laws that have been established by the CCP. One bad negative, and you could be thrown in jail charged with espionage. Screw that I’ll take Singapore any day.👍
It's fairly clear that you're brainwashed.
Ignorant comment.
Singapore laws are way more draconian than HK. Are you delusional?
The Law on Espionage in Singapore, google it.
oops. I left out the North Korean shell companies opening in Singapore too to trade.
Singapore is indeed a great place for the filthy rich. As great as Switzerland is for the Nazis during World War 2. 👍👍
No need any praises, they are already FULL of it and its coming thru their mouths but we all know how efficient these people are and also their integrity is mid-par with a reduced level of common sense.
Hong Kong have CCP INTERNAL SECURITY ISSUES ACT. Have you enyoy that. Wherever you reside, You can you sing praise as you move around. We don't need your lipservice. You can move on.
Noooo please stop promoting SG, we have enough people around already 😢
Typical of Japan… always resistant to change… 😂
only bad thing in sinkie is if u get knocked down by bicycle on pavement and becum veggie, you still might be sued for obstructing the bike,
??
Never. Pavement or even on the road, pedestrian is priority.
you are out of your mind.
Go take your medication.
