Singapore 🇸🇬 or Hong Kong 🇭🇰 ?
Singapore 🇸🇬 ❤ of course 😁
As a Hong Konger, definitely Singapore.
Cut aside all the yellow/blue nationalism political stuff, the biggest problem with HK is the EXTREMELY incompetent government for the past 2 decades, something Hong Kongers regardless of political stance would 100% agree upon.
A city cannot grow when the administration care more about scoring cookie points with Beijing over actual good governance. From unfinished link bridges that were 10-40x overbudget, MTR replacement parts that got quote 10x market price yet still suspiciously approved, to the new Single-Use Plastic Ban that did absolutely nothing but create more garbage. You almost never see that in Singapore because the government officials in Singapore are actually competent scholars who didn't buy their way to a degree in some 3rd rate college unlike majority of the current HK lawmakers.
There's a reason whenever Singapore government initiatives, innovations, projects, etc are mentioned, it's almost always about how great it is and the leap of progress achieved. While whatever HKSAR government introduced on the other hand, will always be about HKers working around the smooth brain laws or initiatives of the low IQ government.
Singapore is not perfect of course, but it's surely in top 1% of countries that are near it. Hong Kong is only surviving thanks to its free port status and tons of tax exemptions that make doing business great, even then they are still losing business quarterly and y-o-y because no one is buying HKSAR government's ping ponging lies and bs.

Well said 👍👍👍
Hong Kong has too many problems; housing and education are below par when compared with Singapore. What Hong Kong really needs now is more public housing for the people. I agree Hk govt is totally inept and useless and it would be better if Hong Kong is directly under the CCP. With the central government taking control of Hong Kong, I am sure the first thing they would do is simply to build more homes for the people ..
HK hands down. Just the boring hot climate in Singapore and no mountains and real beaches would drive me nuts. Singapore is also too small and crowded and owning a car is very prohibitive. Singapore Press and media is also heavily censored
Hong Kong is full of country parks,mountains, free camping sites,beaches etc
It's great for escaping the crowded city
Singapore is not lucky. Singapore is build-ed through the sacrifices and resilience of our pioneer generations of Singaporeans.
hear hear!
*built
😂 remove LKY and the country goes to hell like many neighbouring countries. Yes Singapore is lucky. Don't pretend like you work harder than people from Bangladesh labouring to build your BTO.
Sorry to break it to you but Singapore is indeed lucky to have LKY, the true leader that BUILD-ed Singapore.
@@bminton3291 OP said sacrifices and hard work of the pioneer generations of sg. that includes LKY and his generation. they did hard labour too to build sg into what we are today. and it is our duty to continue the success of our forefathers in the appropriate manner too. we can still easily run sg to hell like many countries around us if we don’t do things properly. a country can easily go bad in 1 generation. LKY has passed on but sg is still doing fine. so please don’t disregard the efforts of the current govt and ppl as a whole. it takes 2 hands to clap. we are very blessed to have good governance and had a bunch of leaders who saw the need and stepped up and ppl who respect the govt enuf to work tgt harmoniously. i won’t call it lucky. it is not easy too.
How do i define home. Home is where I was born, the place I live, the place I work, the place i raise my family. Home for me will forever be Singapore. I am a patriot and I love my country Singapore. There is no place on Earth like Singapore. I am forever grateful that I was born in Singapore. And I witnessed the rise of Singapore from slum to First World.
Totally agree 1000%. My grandparents and parents and their children (including me) live through the slum times to being a First World country. I know how Singapore was during this transition period. Back then life was simple and people were contented and happy. Singapore is my home forever!
As a fellow Gen X, I find myself agreeing to Peter's views. Having lived in so many different places, I find him very open, astute and honest. His mindset is very different from that of what I have of a man from China, even if he's highly educated, has a good job, travelled the world and lived in many different countries in different parts of the world.
He's so sharp, grounded, realistic and humble 👍
I think his willingness and openness to immerse himself into our society doesn't make him feel being stereotyped. Actually I think he speaks English like a local, just minus the Singlish. I feel that a lot of Chinese from China, when they migrate here, they refuse to learn to speak English, even just simple words. I've neighbours who are like that, even after 10 years.
We're a multiracial society so we're also not speaking in perfect English all the time, hence partly why Singlish exists😅
I especially like what he said at the end about the meaning of life - achievement and supporting others and in return, giving and rewarding back to the society, the basic principle of human life.👍
He didn't say Singapore is very lucky. He said others said Singapore is very lucky. Because he knows and appreciates our super efficient government. And I agree with him. Though it's so very hot and humid here, I cannot complain because we are very lucky we don't have natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis etc, here. Yes, we're indeed lucky🙏
But the safety, stability, equality, freedom and prosperity that we enjoy is not through luck. Our forefathers, pioneers and our government led especially by our dear Mr Lee Kuan Yew laid the foundation for our country, our government and our people. I'm always very thankful and grateful to our government especially during and after the COVID pandemic. 🙏
As like most Singaporeans, we already know how hard our government works but especially during the pandemic, it really showed how difficult it was, and still is, for us, a small country without any natural resources, to survive and why our government made and will still make, certain, though very painful but absolutely necessary, decisions for our survival.
And when our current PM Mr Lawrence Wong, then the Minister for National Development who fronted key announcements as co-chair of the multi-ministry task force during the COVID pandemic, broke down in Parliament while paying tribute to everybody especially the 'unsung heroes' like the invisible ordinary Singaporeans, I cried too because it was really a very difficult time for everybody, what more for a government who had a weight of 5.7 million lives dependent on them. I couldn't and still can't imagine that immense pressure. It made me even more appreciative of our people and our government. And especially after I watched news of how other countries coped with the pandemic. So I'm forever thankful and grateful 🙏
Majulah Singapura!
Singapore is best not only for Chinese but also indians like me. ❤❤❤❤ Friendly people, humble humans.
Also for the Malays.
All races welcome !
Not for Indians with the caste mentality.
Welcome🌹
Thank you!
The success and prosperity of Singapore has nothing to do with luck. It’s all the sheer hard work of an effective and capable government that has made Singapore to what it is today. But we’re lucky to have LKY and PAP
SINGAPORE NOT ONLY LUCKY, SINGAPORE TAKE ACTION PLUS TEAM WORK TOGETHER WITH SOCIETY. 💪💪👊👊👍👍🇸🇬
I dislike it when other people say Singapore is very lucky. It's not luck. It's strategic planning given what you have. Sure we have a great geographical position in terms of trade and natural disasters, but if you do nothing with this advantage, it is also wasted. In fact, so many other countries have so much more natural resources that those are the ones I will say it's lucky. If you use "luck" to describes Singapore's rise, it really really discounts the hard work and toil that our previous generations went through, and the all the young people who are working hard now to make their lives even better.
I do think that his ill choice of the word “lucky” is down to his lack of the English vocabulary…but it does provide a trigger for feedback from viewers, myself included. 😅
Unsure why every time I listen to these rich foreigners' praises on Singapore make me think they are hypocrites.Their mindset of "so lucky" is ignoring/discounting the hard work and scarifies of previous generations who build Singapore. It is no different from anyone call someone is so lucky for winning a sport competition but they ignore that someone has trained and work hard for it as well.
I agree with you. Hard work, unity and strategic planning took us where we are. Many foreigners only think SG is "lucky" because we are located in a strategic maritime route. And we will be DOOM if the Thais build "Kra land bridge", or "one belt one road" cutting us off. For those who wants to know. Maritime shipping is only contributing 7% to our GDP. Maritime is just passive income for SG. We had long moved up the value chain since the 80's.
Another standard comment that i buay tahan is when foreigners commented. SG so small, one bomb all die. Lol. For goodness sake, u think we dont know that you know? For those who needs to know SG have many military bases in other countries. Dont disturb the hornet nest. Dont say no tell. Lol. For fun. Nice weekend everyone! 😅
This is a Chinese national I would warmly welcome in Singapore, his world view is more international, he speaks English, he appreciates Singapore for what it is…. In short, he doesn’t fit the stereotype of a PRC. He seems happy and willing to integrate, rather than harp on China and Singapore being “compatriots”, which frankly puts Singaporeans off. Singaporeans are not racist, but we dislike PRCs who seem to think we are affiliated to them in some way and should show some allegiance. This guy, on the other hand, is not like that. He thinks more like a Singaporean. Good interview choice, Max.
Totally Agreed
"Singapreans are not racist." If you are an ethnic Chinese Singaporean, how can you be racist to another ethnic Chinese from the mainland China? By the way, have you seen the way the Singaporean CEO of TikTok was treated during the US congressional hearing?
A ‘PRC’ will only be noticed if they meets the stereotype of ‘PRC’. This stereotype exists because it’s not normal but not because most of the PRC act this way. Those people would be ‘outstanding’ even if they were in China. Assuming that 1 of 1000 in China’s 1.4b population has some problems, there would be 1.4m people.
I’m a ‘PRC’ but would not stand out from a crowd of Singaporeans because I act like an average person.
@@tuppenceworth5485 Sinophobic would be more like it
@@tuppenceworth5485 , Yeah! You are right. 打到美帝国主义!
I do not think " lucky" is the correct word to use. Singapore as a nation has built a reputation of being fair and safe through our competent government & transparent system. We do not benefit from others' misfortune, but rather the people who chose to come here have made their own calculations and judgments.
Singapore is lucky to have Singapore founding father and his team. They laid a strong foundation for Singapore to strive.
Very cleverlah. Without Malaysian waters Singapore will drink urine every day😊
Exactly…no way was and is Singapore “lucky”. Singapore - much thanks to the leadership of the late visionary Mr Lee Kuan Yew - went from a fishing village-type island to this bustling thriving economy without any natural resources (except human) to fall back on. This is not luck…it’s hard graft and people the world over can see that. And kudos to the government, there is no resting on their laurels. The financial and social (and more) stability is what draws people to the island state.
Over the years, the multi-cultural characteristic of Singaporeans have evolved into this national identifiable trait of warm friendliness (from the taxi driver to the vendor in the wet market to your neighbour) that is hard to beat. Yes, there’s still work to be done…and the government is working on it, from my experience of witnessing the positive changes that continue to be wrought.
When I growing up in Singapore, I experienced using an outhouse, a hole in ground to a truck with 24 doors and finally a throne. Singapore is "Lucky" because of one man.
@@christine8203 Singapore was not a fishing village island when LKY took over. It was a middle-income country (by UN/World Bank definitions) and the world's fifth-biggest port by the mid-fifties....
HK and Singapore are 2 very different cities and you cannot compare them directly. Singapore is just lucky to have PM LKY and his pioneer team. There are problems that Singapore face everyday that HK will never have. HK think about making money everyday. Singapore think about survival everyday. Very nice interview from a very positive gentleman.
SG is “lucky” in a sense that we had an “Asian parent like” leader in LKY. If we had the freedom mindset to everything we would be a typical South East Asian country + crime and drugs. Humans need laws and religions to know their boundaries.
I think lucky is not the right word. It was intentional strategizing. I remember back in those days where Singapore's economy was fragile. Anw I am happy for this guy here.
We always welcome guys like him who can evolve in Singapore and find harmony. Be it with Chinese or any other nation, if you share the same with us, this is a place for you.
Very chill and likeable guy. As for the debate in the comments about whether SG is LUCKY or not, well let's see put it this way ... We are indeed LUCKY that fate decreed that Koh Teong Koo save LKY from the Sook Ching Massacre. Otherwise, without the absolute brilliance of LKY, the real Ironman, AND his stalwarts, we would likely have succumbed to the fact that we had NOTHING but the people for resources. In fact to quote LKY's own words from his memoirs, "Well I was lucky. I was lucky. Those who went on that lorry were taken to the beach and shot. Would have been me." LKY felt he was so lucky he said it TWICE. 😂
My late grandfather had the same luck, he was directed to go on the other lorry (by the Japanese officer) while his friend was shoved on the opposite one and later machine gunned down at Changi beach. My mother wouldn't have been born later in 1951, and so I might be living another life now :) I share Peter's sentiment about giving back to society, a theme that was echoed by most of Max's guests, because none of us made it through life without "luck", be it the luck of others' goodwill, kindness, or plain serendipity. Those who think meritocracy truly reflects their success through only personal ability should reexamine their beliefs about themselves.
Singapore is not just lucky it is a good country and a rare one too .
We are lucky enough to have Mr Lee K Y❤❤❤
On the contrary, these people should consider themselves lucky to be able to move to Singapore when there were facing unrest in their own country.
There is no unrest in China, go see China for yourself....I live on and off in China so I know.
@@JenHope113I believe you 😂
i worked for a hong kong company before ...they highly encouraged me to pack my lunch back and eat in front of my computer and work as i eat .
didnt like that
Singapore is not only better than Hong Kong for Chinese, she’s better than whole world for everyone!
After reading all the comments, I think a lot of people are misunderstanding the words lucky the guests mean, he didn't say Singapore success was due to lucky, he said Singapore was lucky to nearby places people to be a safe heaven to hide from when they are in trouble such as HK riots Indonesia anti Chinese riots to come to. That's was the "lucky" he really means.
Nice interview, quite refreshing 💪👍
Refreshing video 👍❤
Hey dude i wanna work for you as editor, how can i reach out to you
i visited hk before 97 , my hk friend brought me to visit the human cage bed in those very old buildings. i believe they are still around right ?
nope they have been banned for years; but there are subdivided flats, so to speak.
@@nemesispang oh ok
Question? Now SG is peaceful, what if SG one day become chaos and threaten by foreign power will you all expats, especially Hongkonger, will you be still here or just disappear to somewhere else? All expats do not have the same WILL like Singaporean for self-determined. All "Expats" leaving locally will always has the DNA to move to greener and safer place as this is your reason you are here in SG now. You are lucky and not Singaporean as we and our children has to stay back in time of trouble to defense this little red dot.
Singapore. I have lived in HK for 3 years, it was a terrible place for health and work culture. I am alot happier back in Singapore, I am a Singaporean anyway.
Hello from Bucharest, Romania- a huge underrated city in Europe:)
"Lucky" should not be a word to describe our City. We labour to where we are and do not have to listen to any dogs.
Money is to serve the purpose of your life” Great words.
I fell in love with Singapore long time ago,Singapore is greater country i ever known.❤❤❤
I think what he means is that Singaporean are lucky as our government did a good job from day one from our pioneer........
These 30 years overall society are stable .....
In that sense, we are lucky 😊
Thank you to our government and community for cointuine to improved and maintain the stability of our society 👏 👍 🙏
Singapore is successful is bcoz of foresight & a proper planning in all aspects of life. Sheer hardwork is wasteful without great vision & gd foresight.
Good man.
Singapore success was achieved by hard work of the people mostly, but there is little luck part which is Lee Kuan Yew as Singapore leader. Without the combination of hard working humble people and leader like LKY, I dont think Singapore would be as great as now.
PS: how much I wish my country had leader as wise and brave like LKY, and people like Singapore.
I like Singapore when I was there last year but HK weather is great, there is always something for everyone anywhere in the world. Great interview and a wise gentleman that u interviewed, may he know his creator and when he seek Him with all his heart , he will find Him.
Since we own our own houses I think typhoons r scary!
@@maocat6606 , We have tornadoes in Ok but God had always kept us safe.
@@judymckee5992 glad u r safe but our houses cost a lot so just the thought of the roof blowing away is super scary!
I'd personally love to learn more about the perspective of people who have moved to HK. So far, the channel has only aired the Singapore =good, Hong Kong = bad perspective. I'm sure people on YT would also be interested to learn about people who have moved to HK and really enjoy it.
Hong Kong has a great countryside with acres of mountains and forests as far as the eye can see. There are secluded beaches as well. Plenty of nice villages.
I guess only people from places like n.korea and communist china moving to live in Hong Kong will find themselves "happier" than living in their original country. Else, it would be suicide for people from other developed countries to migrate to Hong Kong at this present moment.
Got 2 poly friends who shifted to SG as 2nd gen, served their NS and have decent careers in SG. However when 2 honkies meet up each other, the Cantonese vulgarities just come out their mouths like a typical HK taxi driver 😅
My nephew is working in HK now and he is very happy 😊
@@busybee5156 - - There are lots of people who do not give a damn what's going on around them, what's happening to ordinary people around them so long as those unpleasant things did not befall on themselves. That's why we can see there are still so many people chose to visist communist china despite the barbaric and tyranny behavior of the govt. So long as these tourists have not come across any unpleasant things while in there, they would not give a damn how bad the place is, they just want to enjoy the scenery. Till such time when they encounter some unpleasant experiences with the authorities there, then they would start to kpkb when they return. So, your nephew is lucky so far, till one day when he's unreasonably harassed by the law enforcers while on the streets, his perspective will be different. As the chinese says go "... when the needle hasn't prick on your flesh, you won't feel the pain..
'
Very very sorry, Hong Kong is not a country but part of China. Singapore is a independent country as international known.
Just a matter of time CCP will take over Singapore like Hong Kong from the way things progress...😅 To CCP, everything in this planet, the sun and moon belong to them.
@@keesiangleo940you can keep dreaming for something that never happened.
@@shadowj3311it's already happening dear, every time I come to Singapore, the number of China people I see is staggering 😮. In a generation or two, all will be from china!😂 The locals will be replaced by china people😅
Not true. I live and worked in HK for 2 decades and people ordered afternoon tea 下午茶 to the office in HK too. And there’s team lunch too.
And the food is awesome in HK❤

1:45 why does bro look like he didnt slept for months
Watched vid for 16 mins - this dude is v clever and a reasonable man too. I like how he speaks English, I like how non-insular he is. Happy to have him call Singapore home.
Peter seems like a great person with a positive outlook in life, he is also very international and I would say he is quite different from a typical Chinese person from China.
SG is better than HK for (Mainland) Chinese because in SG, the dominant tongue for Singaporean Chinese is Mandarin (outside of English), vs. Cantonese in in HK.
Interview a HKer who has moved from HK to Sg!
I like his humbleness!!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
Now is NEW HK, Fully Mainlandized 💯
With China new security law in hk. It is safer to travel there but not now, I have issues communicating with the Hong-Kongers. I hope China makes it compulsory for the new or younger generation Hong-Kongers to learn and communicate in Mandarin and English for business.
Thatsnot reall true,though. HK is still very different from the mainland in many ways.
@@choonhockong8215Most educated people in HK can communicate in Mandarin,there's no need to make it "compulsory "

Singapore Rice Noodle with the Chinese sausage is my favorite Chinese food. The type of rice noodles you use for this Singapore Noodles recipe is very important! ... Chinese Sausage/traditional sweet Lop Cheung)
There's no such thing as Singapore noodles in Singapore..
I have never heard of that dish
@@Aurica34 it’s in fast food Chinese restaurants in the USA. Many of the Chinese Americans that work there are Cantonese. The only thing I don’t like about Singapore Rice Noodle is it’s very oily. American Chinese fast food is not exactly healthy. There are new inventions added to the menu like cream cheese wontons. If it’s near a black area they sell a lot of deep fried chicken wings.
@@stephenwatson672 again. There's no such dish in Singapore
Your Singapore Rice Noodle or 新洲炒米粉 is not a Singapore dish. It is a dish made from a Hong Kong chef and you can never find this noodle in Singapore. At home, we will cook a similar dish with rice noodle and similar ingredients except we will not put curry powder or curry paste to it. Only Hong Kong people love to put curry powder & curry paste to their rice noodles
I think he meant we are lucky to be born Singaporeans. Yes the previous generations of Singaporeans work hard to get us to where we are today, with efficient governance. From the third party perspective, they will think 'how lucky you guys are to be born in SG'. The younger generations are lucky that we are born with such stability, efficiency and prosperity around us. It is now our perogative that we never let down our guards. This country is small, it can collapse easily.
Lovely❤
Like as people came from China has immigrated to Canada the most is in Vancouver.
I consider Singapore is ‘lucky’ because we had a great team of founding ministers led by our greatest leader Mr Lee Kuan Yew. After that I don’t consider lucky no more. Under their leadership and pure hardwork and sacrifice of our forefathers the pioneer generation help build our country Singapore and lay the foundation for generation to follow.
singapore is heaven country for people who like to listen and no question or argue with government and absoutely obessed of being clean and obeying laws and of course live a safe and healthy life😁😁😁😁
For China ‘s Chinese ? For Chinese National ? For Ethnic chinese ? For ethnic han chinese ?
My family from USA and Europe (UK, Germany). I am looking forward to going to all these Asian countries. I heard China, India, USA, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Brasil, Germany, UK are predicted to be the world's most richest countries (in order by wealth) by 2050. Many other countries are also expected to be good Egyot, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Nigeria.
I am member of USA democratic party. So I never go to Russia or North Korea or any communist co6ntry. Democracy, American style capitalism all around the world.
It’s not that SGreans think any particular place is unsafe, just that it’s another internal “radar”that needs to switch on when going abroad in terms of safety, which can kill the buzz. It doesn’t help when it’s constantly reported on the news and from friends. 😅
Even talking about luck snd lucky. YOU STILL NEED TO PUSH AND WORK HARD TO WHERE YOU WANT.AND THAT IS WHAT OUR PIONEERS OUR GOV AND PEOPLES BEEN DOING. WE ARE NOT BIG BUT SMALL COUNTRY. NOT EVEN A BIG COUNTRY WHERE HER OR HIS GOV WORK THIS HARD LIKE SINGAPORE GOV N PEOPLE. THAT'S LUCK N LUCKY. THINK TWICE AGAIN
All thanks for to our forefathers who built Singapore.
Lucky ?? Countries with oils are deemed lucky. We have come to this state through resilience & hardship..
Hong Kong has nice mountains and scenery
It is our b cos we have good solid people in gov that in sincere of built up country and her people. And her people and pioneers works hard ...and not base on luck. We are small. We work hard we honor our total loyalty to our nation
It’s more stressful but still more fun in HK 😅
Try wearing a Winnie the poo costume in HK. That will be really fun.😅😅😅
Hong-Kong more stressful then singapore. Hk Many Houses small, very old n building are also very close to one another. 😅
Not unless you live in a village,such as in Sai Kung,the New Territories,or the Outlying Islands. There's a choice between rural and urban in Hong Kong.

We don't believe in luck. We earned it. Our guide is the "National Pledge". Do you know and understand?
Luck has never plays 1 part in our nation and people. This person know too little of us. I dun know if he is even ours.
Not luck involved government

At least, you won't get assaulted for speaking Mandarin in Singapore, but rather asked to speak English for those who can't understand Mandarin(ie: ethnic Malays and ethnic Indian or English educated ethnic Chinese).
HI. I must tell you this. We singapore singaporean is not lucky. Please lnow our history and dig more. THEN you know. SINGAPORE singaporean where we are what we are how we come about. Not about luck lucky. It is our pioneers our peoples that built it up where we are.

@@amyg1073 Yawn. Have you seen the statistics? Half of BNOs in the UK are jobless and 25% are in jobs that are below their skills. Most of the ones that moved are low income because the high income people in HK already own properties abroad and can move anytime, no need for BNO. Lastly, those people that left have been replaced by the High Skilled people recruited via the Gov't program. These people need to earn high income and credentials to get into HK.

not sure if it's 'accepted' or more like enforced... accepted means there's a choice
What you know about Singapore?
Lucky is not the word to describe Singapore!
How much hardwork and sacrifices our pioneer generation made for what we are today!
So wake up your ideas 😮
Calm down lah
Very subjective question if you ask random people. But in terms of future Hong Kong can become great if the HK Govn can crackdown real estate. If you have traveled and lived in China for a while and regularly you will see the insane speed of development. Just look at Shenzhen next door from Hong Kong how impressive China is with development, it's the most smart and high tech metropole in the world right now. From Hong Kong you can now take Bullet Trains to Beijing, Shanghai etc. The greater bay area has become a better connected area for businesses to only benefit from this. Hong Kong can become a revitalised global financial centre (again) in the space of digitalised asset future to support BRICS, Crypto, Blockchain, Metaverse, Web3, NFTs etc. Hong Kong and the Hong Kong citizens should unbrain-wash themselves and fully embrace China.
U are crazy to be brain washed by communist.
@@amyg1073And you're ignorant for being easily brainwashed by the West
In agreement with you. China’s development, in my opinion, has been truly amazing this last decade or two. They will go from strength to strength…
HongKong is for rich people
DO NOT FORGET IN THE PAST. NO BODY GIVE A DAMN AND LOOK US UP. THAT IS STILL LUCK N LUCKY TILL 2024. BRO THINK 4 TIME AGAIN. AFTER 4 TIME OF THINKING. GO SLEEP. AWAKE SEE AND THINK DEEPLY AGAIN N AGAIN
Funny how the fellow refrain himself saying that hk is not "safe" anymore😅.. 100k people moved out from HK for what reason beside they don't to eat anymore dimsum?😂.. still holding chinese passport, he is better be careful if he don't want to be arrested transiting in HK under the security law or going back to china😂
The Christian Bible is very clear that it is God Himself alone that creates wealth. Failure to venerate this truth is a grievous sin on the part of anyone who claims success and wealth on his or her own abilities and strength without the Christian God and His Christ.
Shout out to MC D for letting you film there.
We didn’t ask 😁
Just buy a drink from them and you can sit there as long as you like😃
@@MaxChernov Is the McD located in east coast?
China so great.... Pls go back . Donr come & get a share of shades that our forefathers planted!!!

Singapore can be considered to be "lucky" when it got "decoupled" from Malaysia!
The resilient pioneer generations of leaders and citizens of Singapore ( of all races, the stayers, not the quitters) then put in the sacrifices and hard work required to create the prosperous Singapore of today.
Many older generation pioneers had sacrificed their best years doing National Service to keep Singapore secure and safe for it's economic development.
Singapore's success also attracted many "fair weather foreigners" coming into Singapore now, calling it their "home" though hardly contributing anything to build it or taking roots to becomes citizens.
They will likely flutter away as soon as things sours up.
They do not have any special skills or knowledge that Singaporeans do not possessed.
Free flow of information in heavily censored Singapore? Singapore has the same strict NSL rules as HK yet HK is considered more oppressive. Go Figure
Of course not. Singapore is more suitable for Chinese with western upbringing. Hong Kong is morr suitable for Chinese with Chinese upbringing.
Two parallel universes
"There are still 600,000,000 Chinese living with a monthly income below $140".
Coincidentally, 140 is now his social credit score.
Peter, since you believe that God exists, I hope you start searching the truth. Perhaps you can start reading the New Testament in the bible and know that Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth and the life and through him, you can have the gift of eternal life.
Christianity is a religion of Paul who use Jesus as figurehead for his new religion.
Jesus didn't eat pork but Paul abolished the dietary restriction because he had a dream. He never met Jesus in real life either.
Bart Ehrman, who is a renown New Testament Scholar, also has the same view.
Singapore has done well serving its hinterland of Indonesia and Malaysia. However it has been foolishly arrogant towards its neighbours which has been developing huge ports themselves. Hong Kong has the advantage of the huge China hinterland but it has to compete with Shanghai and similar Chinese cities. The longer term fundamentals for Singapore and its USA links are negative.
Ya just be totally controlled by ccp
How is SG arrogant? I am just confused, why our neighbours love corruption. All our neighbours can achieve so so much. If not better than us. Confused is not arrogant.
@@RKFP Maybe not so among the 60s and 70s but definitely among the 20s to 50s. In 2000 my Beijing tourist guide, a linguistic graduate asked me why do Singaporean tourists disparage China with rude statements that they do things differently (and better) in Singapore. Look at Singapore behaviour towards Malaysia over the water and railway issues. Singapore would rather spend S$ billions on grand, dubious water projects rather than pay a S$ hundred million or so to Malaysia and getting goodwill. Quoting a long defunct water agreement and raw water prices made in 1950s and threatening war is absurd. If you are rich and powerful, petty behaviour will eventually beggar you.
@@Trueye-sl2mr hi. This is another example of mixing confusion with arrogance. Do you know how many times Malaysia uses the "water AGREEMENT" to threaten SG? Investing in our own water desalination project is a matter of national security. From your comment i assume you dont know this. Which is ok.
In terms of working, both countries are highly stress n driven.
In terms of retirement, its a no brainer that HK is miles better than singapore.
Ya and our Government welcome all you foreigners and give u pr or citizenship as long as u give money to our government
Well, it's HK for me. It is always a little rougher around the edges, giving it that acute uniqueness and seldom discussed incredible countryside with beaches to match. Excellent finance laws, healthcare and freedoms-- yes freedoms, more accepting of foreigners... That said, binary opposition springs to mind.
Thanks to CCP 😂
I don't know how anyone can enjoy to live in a city like.
You can't even drive your own car whenever you want.
Driving my car through nature after a long stressful day of work is essential for me. It's my distress time. It's therapeutic to me.
You can only drive on certain days of the week according to your license plate.
Cars are 2x the price.
Jay walk efty fine, chewing gum efty fine, drop something on the ground efty fine.
Like are they trying to compete with North Korea on who has less personal freedom?
Enjoy your prison camp my friends, that place is not for me.
Money is not everything in life, personal freedom is very important to me.
I don't want to walk around all the time in a city being scared I am going to break some rule or some law that I am not aware of that is going to get me into trouble.
That is why I prefer the country side.
I don't even like big cities.
Sounds like you have never been here.
pretty sure hongkong is far more better than singapore cause you don't get choke of being spy of fine on whatever you do and of course hongkong cost of living is way much lower compare to singapore like you can own a car a far much cheaper rate in hongkong than sngapore and you got more freedom to voice out your voice compare to singapore and you don't get executed for drug offences🤣🤣🤣🤣
This guy lives on Mars
Are you sure that Hong Kong could voice out about anything? Are you taking out of the context on the riots that took place in 2019 and because of these actions, HK is more democratic than Singapore? The result of those riots made Hong Kong what it is now. Are you sure that those who riots were not arrested? Did you read the news? Yes, I agree with HK has a soft stand for drugs offenders but soon it will soon change once it goes to China. Is this good news for you?
And I would like to ask, since when HK has more demoncracies before 1997. Was HK able to vote for the government they want those?
I believed you are British and you would like to think so. But you can give your worthy thoughts here.
I heard that a parking lot in HK costs a few hundred thousand HK dollars, sometimes higher than the cost of an average car.
You do drugs?
Then why are hongkees leaving HK in droves if it’s better. Why So many hongkees migrated to sg.
