Dubai or Singapore?
good question, we should visit both if we can, and compare
Do you know why SG built so many airport terminals ? It is mainly for the region and Indonesia up-coming middle class. The whole lot coming for 2-3 days shopping, business and spendings... wow !!!
Singapore
Dubai.
dubai! 1000000% DUBAI
Had to paus the video to comment because I resonated so much about young people complaining about Singapore. I was one of them before I started travelling. I complained about how boring SG is, how strict, how expensive, how we had to pay CPF etc. After I started travelling, though I haven't lived anywhere else, I could see how Singapore was a much better country to live in than any of the other places I visited. I mean, sure, they were lovely to visit as a tourist but I couldn't imagine myself living there long-term. There are so many little things that we took for granted which I learned to appreciate after I travel. For example, we are building MRT around my estate and I appreciate how they design their construction works to ensure that people still have a proper sidewalk with clear instructions to get to their destinations. I have many times walked to a dead end in other countries where the sidewalk disappears for no apparent reason and you just have to walk on the grass or on the road.
I agree with that, they think those come by naturally.
You don’t know what you have until you lose it
Good..not late to realize...
The younger generation today has an 'entitled' mindset and attitude.
The United States as we know it is no more. All signs point to 2024 being a year of significant economic hardship for the entire nation. Put your cash to use straight away to increase its value. I was aware that I needed to invest. I had no idea how quickly a few thousand dollars a month would go up. Though it is. Since 2020, I've made about $600,000.
It’s precisely at times like these that investors need to be on guard against the next certainty. You don’t have to act on every forecast, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.
I wholeheartedly concur; I'm 60 years old, just retired, and have about $1,250,000 in non-retirement assets. Compared to the whole value of my portfolio during the last three years, I have no debt and a very little amount of money in retirement accounts. To be completely honest, the information provided by invt-advisors can only be ignored but not neglected. Simply undertake research to choose a trustworthy one.
Impressive can you share more info?
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’AILEEN GERTRUDE TIPPY” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran a Google search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.
I worked in Singapore, and I would say the same. The younger generation of Singapore is too lucky, I'm not really sure why they are still complaining about life in Singapore. Everything is at hands if they wanted, short travel distances (mind you, 50 minutes travel is considered normal in Malaysia), public transport everywhere immediately. And a fully functional library, and government funds help in education and living supports.
I would hope Malaysia. could do the same too.
You're not Singaporean. The dafuq you know about Singapore on the surface?
@@elijahnoahjust a friendly reminder that the conveniences and support you enjoy aren't exactly handed out by Mother Nature. Take a moment to look beyond your borders and see if other Asian countries have similar offerings for their folks. Is it that near, fast, on time?
Having worked in Singapore from Malaysia, I can't help but notice the convenience and accessibility of things there. The accommodations are easy, shop under walking's distance, and getting access to knowledge is a breeze. I must say, the government's support for learning and career changes is quite impressive.
On a lighter note, there's this amusing perception in Singapore that things in Malaysia are still cheap. Well, they might be when you're converting currencies, but in terms of salary to product ratios, Singapore is actually more budget-friendly - except maybe when it comes to buying a house. Rent in the city areas of Malaysia is pretty much on par. Just thought it's worth updating your knowledge about the current situation in Malaysia. Cheers!

You probably had gotten used to all the utilities and support government gave you, the best is for you to experience life working in other country (travelling in other countries count as none at all) and experience discrimination by locals, which you might never wanted to, since Singapore is the most comfortable place to work in.
Singaporeans have been too sheltered to understand the world out there and believe what the norms in Singapore are norms everywhere.
The fact that you talked like this really shown how safe Singapore are, words without consequences. I would look forward you to talk to somebody in Malaysia and see if you can even survive a night. Talking like a karen, as if no one will punch you in Singapore since you're protected in your own bubble.

@@Bivanqwafter going through ns and working with msians who became PRs, its definitely given me a lot of perspective as to how good we have it. I know a sgt who would spend 3h travelling to camp on a bookin from malaysia to one end of singapore, on top of managing his men. We really have it easy here
@@thetigerii9506 thanks for that
We are indeed blessed to be born in Singapore.
This is so true! i have been talking to many younger chaps that criticized Singapore and they are so pampered. They want freedom of speech and freedom of action with regardless of safety and security, i was born in the 70s and i think i have seen the changes in Singapore, and i am fortunate enough to see the transformation between SG and the rest of the countries. Sure, Singapore is not perfect, but I appreciate what the government is doing and how the country has been transformed
Our G is encouraging the youngsters to work regionally or overseas. The overseas exposure opportunities will open their eyes
I've always imagined living in Singapore to be like dividing a cake you buy from the bakery. The global and local elite, by virtue of their wealth, intelligence and network, get the biggest slices, while the average Singaporean gets the crumbs. But the government tries to make you feel better by giving you some sprinkles and chocolate sauce to go with your crumbs, to make it more palatable. I guess unequal and inequitable distribution of wealth, opportunity and resources happens in every society, but in Singapore, the sugar coating is more obvious to keep the masses happy.
Excellent interview!
Thanks Max..😍
🤩 Woww this guy is so inspiring and if ppl take away some of his wisdom it would help them chart their lives in a more focused manner 👍👍🙌🌺
the opinions of a senior guy who has achieved a lot, carries a lot of weight. because he has the experience. another good video!
A good interview, there are still many Singaporeans that will not appreciate what they have. They need to have more exposure.
I must thank you both, Max for finding this human treasure trove of life and business wisdom, and John, for so liberally sharing said wisdom. Goodonya mate and deep, warm thanks to you.
So true👏🏻 to be able to wake up and do what you need to do to get things going safely on a daily basis is a blessing which some keyboard warriors and Singaporeans take them for granted and blame the government for every slightest imperfections they can dig out, these shameless people need a life.
Many young Singaporean don't appreciate what they have now. True, singapore is not perfect (Goverment) but to me, that's as close to heaven as you can get as compared with the rest of the world now.
They really don't understand how we come this far......
Thank you Max for this episode. I’ve watched a lot of your videos but this one really resonates. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is probably the best video I have seen on so many levels - managing and creating wealth, dealing with people, dealing with family, managing you life, aging, values, global perspective of governments and future directions - a truly inspiring Aussie with an amazing world view.
Very good and informative interview. Really enjoy it.❤
amazing interview. thanks for the great content.
refreshing discssion, thanks for the video!
excellent guest
and good interview
Great interview🎉
As a Singaporean who grew up middle class , studied in a local school in sg , stayed in HDBs my whole life , , currently living in Australia (for my education) and have lived in india and canada before , people don’t understand how privileged we are to be in Singapore . Once you travel outside of sg and actually live in another country (not as a tourist but as a resident ) , you’ll realise how easy and sorted it is for us in sg . The transportation system and healthcare system we have is probably the best I’ve ever seen , the prices of food at cafes / normal food stores and hawker centre ( considering that sg is a first world country) is remarkably cheap. People complaining about how chicken rice now cost $7 bucks (its fair to be frustrated with that considering how it used to cost $2.50 back then ) but bro .. go out to other first world countries and see how a decent meal at a place that’s considered ‘cheap ‘ can cost $20 🥲
Let me add , yes I was a frustrated teenager here in sg . I felt trapped and I needed the exposure of being in a different country. After living in 4 different countries, I’m alittle more grateful about my country. Yes there are downsides to being in sg , the rules are hella strict and quite often , life becomes dry and boring (mainly because there’s no scope for the arts in this country) but I’ve no doubts on how amazing the country is when is comes to making sure that their people have access to safety , good and affordable healthcare, good education ( yes I agree it’s stressful, I failed my O level exams BUT I still believe that our system does the job of educating the kids well) , god bless the EASILY accessible public transportation and how amazingly easy it is to figure the transportation system out if you’re new to the country as it’s a walkable city. You really don’t need a car.
yes , Sonu
fully agree with you ,
if any1 flang , the exam , retest .... go & learn up the most easy 1 , automatically u will understand the tough 1 , nothing is that diffucult , test till u pass , you can do it so do others😊 cheers
Brilliant sharing...thank you gentlemen.
*Dubai was helped by SG Gov when they started. Example, look at their roads....if you drove in Dubai, you'd think you are in SG.*
Thank you. A great interview with an experienced, intelligent, and neutral person. Should become required “reading” for all. Well done 👍!
He is absolutely right about Australia and Canada, as for Dubai, public transport is shit
thanks for this interview. For sure it seems too positive, but I guess John is a success story himself, so it's no surprise. I like the part where he said the older you wait to get started on learning new tech, the better is the tech LOL. Very insightful perspective. Pretty sure every one complains when they are struggling to find a footing, and then when they do land, they may then start appreciating what's around them. It's a fine balance and it should be and it should evolve as maturity and life experiences are gained. No doubt about it, Singapore has done very well for its residents.
That was a really good one! Well done.
Extremely agreed with his perspective of Singapore.
The guys running Dubai and the people living in Dubai have a very different world view from the guys running Singapore and living in Singapore.
Dubai is medieval in comparison to Singapore, especially in terms of ethical and social values.
Oh dear. Medieval does not sound appealing. Appreciate your sharing
Dubai is where you go to enjoy life singapore is where you go to raise a family
@@Unepic_SmurfmanI suppose expats are not subjected to same rules and regulations as locals in Dubai.
Under the glitz and glamour Dubai is a 17th century tribal desert dictatorship that’s caste and often race driven.

I would love to visit Singapore one day
I am Malaysian and my cousins moved permanently to Singapore fr Aust and London due to better job opportunities and low tax. Plus, it's closer to their home too.
Perhaps they haven’t spent long enough in London? What’s the reason for moving away from London?
@@mkleng they spent 7 yrs in London
Hardly long enuff in London but still realise it’s a shit country so kudos to them! But they should keep Malaysia in mind too if they want to live in pure convenience and cheaper space and land.
@@mkleng to each their own.
@@christopherk7920 Well, having lived in SG and LON for 10 years each, it's much much deeper than that 😊
I read somewhere that dubai or one of these wealthier Arab countries were inspired by Singapore
Singapore's problem is that it is a victim of its own success. Yes, the younger generations have been too sheltered to understand the world out there and believe what the norms in Singapore are norms everywhere.
Lived in both countries singapore is hands down better any day.
Ok now I shall watch the video.
hospitality is indeed better in Dubai.
Yup, SG is the future 😉👍😁🇸🇬💞🎉
I lived in the Philippines and in Singapore but never been in Dubai. But it's so true that Singapore is really safe and clean. I would definitely choose Singapore to live long term rather than in the Philippines where traffic is horrible, no high-speed modern train from and to the airport, filthy airports are bug infested (far from Changi lol), airport security are swallowing money from foreign passengers, people getting killed by muggers almost every day (so not safe walking alone at night), famous rivers are filled with sacks of garbage despite the cleaning projects of the local govt, stray bullets are a norm during new years eve celebrations, obsessed with using firecrackers before, during, & after fiestas, same with new years celebration, all that pollution. It's 2024 and the Philippines is still so far from where Singapore is right now. This is why I'm not surprised that Philippine passport-holders are still required to have a visa to visit the US, Japan, & Australia (their so-called allies) 😂😂😂
Inspirational
Aiyah, we Singaopreans always like to complain, when we're told to look outside to see how well we've got it .... we look down at our feet and tell you to shut up.
Yup sometimes Sg feels like the future. I had westerner asking if Sg had chocolate drink, i said whats that we have milo.
In principle, for rich people, it doesnt matter where they live, they usually choose places with lower taxes. For ordinary people like most of us, I would pick Dubai over Singapore in terms of money, but Singapore in terms of lifestyle. They are equally good. But my absolute favorite is Hong Kong, since i lived there :-).
I've lived in Hong Kong 28 years. Moving to Dubai this month. Very sad to leave Hong Kong.
@@harisadu8998 what happened?
@@Mar-ec7et Many personal and business reasons but the reasons differ for everyone and hard to get into everything on the youtube comments but nevertheless, looking forward on in the medium to long term but sad to leave in the short term.
@@harisadu8998wise choice.HK is on the decline and overly dependent on a problematic china.
@@peterlee6148 nothing problematic, different values.
In Dubai government works for RICH community not community as it is. For middle and lower classes life is quite uncomfortable.
Really good chat. Though, I can hear Singaporeans I know say “of course rich Ang mohs say this about SG”. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Singapore, but I’ve learned to tempter my glowing references as I know it does have quite a few issues yet to resolve particularly for those less well off. Look at the hunched over Aunty struggling to work in KFC, or the old uncle cleaning the food court. No doubt it has so much of an advantage over others though.
He’s so right about Australia. It’s virtually impossible to simply get a start with a home. SG’s HDB is great provided people get married - though that hasn’t kept the birth rate up either.
SG is ahead, but it’s still a work in progress. Majulah Singapura!
Our parent is our main responsibilty.They ( children )are the main providers.If a parent can take care of 10 children why can't we? We can't expect the government solely to care every singaporean from cradle to grave.The government has given and provided many incentives and subsidies to seniors.They will receive assistance and handouts from the government and charitable organizations.They should come forward to seek help; otherwise no one will know about their difficulties and struggles.
@@kamariahabdrahim6963 Put the onus on the individual? That’s not very Confucian. This is one area where Australia is streets ahead of most countries. With the cost of living and people living longer, it’s not right to squeeze people by having to struggle with working while both raising a family and being solely responsible for their parents. Is it any wonder birth rates are so low? In Australia, in addition to normal aged care homes, many higher quality options exist where people fund it through selling their home - specialist seniors housing is in high demand. There was also a suggestion from Paul Keating (PM who introduced Superannuation) to add a golden years tax that all would pay to fund specialist aged care for those who need it over 80. People who say it’s a cultural thing in Asia, well it was too in Australia once but it need not be. I think this is an issue SG sweeps under the carpet so as to not lose face - both the country and the families themselves. A reasonable retirement with professional care if needed is an important indicator of a fair and successful society. My point is that Singapore is a work in progress, with success and great policy in many areas, and hopefully will get this right soon too.
Really Dave? Those aunty struggling in Singapore is so much better than the hordes of homeless, rampant drug abuse and crime invested place like downtown LA
Hahaha u need to also do a series on what foreigners dun understand about singapore
That’s much more for sure
This man gets it.
Singapore ❤
Typical rich guy mindset - every 3rd sentence is how he doesn’t wanna pay taxes.
Great conversation, Singaporean like to compaint should watch.
He's from Australia. He probably also wants to live closer to home whereas Dubai is quite a lot further from Australia.
It would be more respectable to address our former prime minister as Lee Kuan Yew than "old man lee"

This multi-millionaire can afford the INSANE Housing cost, the INSANE transportation cost and the INSANE medical cost . If you are an INSANE MILLIONAIRE this is the right place !!
Australians are actually living in the future... not Singaporeans.
Yes only when you are rich
I do agree, younger generation Singaporeans do not seem to appreciate what Singapore is today.
Joke. Just because afew appreciate sg.. doesn't mean all sgporeans do.. grow up..
The unhappy ones are the one who are more vocal. There are many Singaporeans who appreciate Singapore who keep quiet online. We also have to account for foreign influence on social media pretending to be unsatisfied Singaporeans to try to manipulate the politics.
When one live a life where it's technically planned out from baby till adulthood, and haven't experienced any major life challenges or experienced what it's live to actually live and work elsewhere other than Singapore, they will not be able to understand or appreciate what we have in Singapore.
.
Kids here are guaranteed to go to school, we don't hear dropouts very often. Majority of the kids go to tertiary education. And young able bodied adults could get jobs, any jobs easily as well as any decent paying jobs based on their qualifications that could afford them a home and decent living. And the cycle starts again with their kids.
.
And since they have never felt a sharp contrast of how bad life can be, they will always ask for more, more things that will satisfy their feelings to make them feel good.

Been to both Shanghai and Shenzhen. Between Shanghai and Beijing, personally, I prefer the charming BJ. I like Shenzhen too. However hopefully the future city will not have great firewall that censorship and block difference views...
World most expensive country to buy a car but ride hailing & taxi ride fare are way very low comparing to other countries like Japan, Australia, London, Swiss & the list continues.
Have anyone ever thought about these; driver daily overhead such as rental/lease/instalment, petrol, parking, car depreciation, maintenance, road-tax, car insurance, personal insurance, auto accident excess, CPF/Medisave & many more....
Everything are getting expensive but fare most of the time are still pathetic.
For driver, more daily trips plus longer working hours.
Younger Singaporeans have not seen blood in the streets, slums, street gangs collecting protection monies from small businesses, they take the safety, peace, and prosperity they enjoy today for granted.
For the youngsters just like myself (I'm 28) - I've been all around the West (Australia, USA, UK) to meet and hang with my friends and family - Sure, they're cooler countries for young people with lots more to do, but there is LITERALLY no difference in every day life. You pretty much do the same shit in Singapore that you'd do in NYC except it's cheaper to buy a car. Have fun being in a failed city lol.
As long as you can find open-minded people like yourself in SG, you're good. That I feel poses a challenge here, as I feel the West seems to have more open-minded and interesting individuals, but maybe that's just me.
Normally i speak very softly and weak voice because i got no money. Those who speak very loud should be very wealthy. Fyi

Where? 😁
Miami is part of the United States which still makes it subject to all of the US law, whether it is regulation or taxation. Latin Americans don't care because their countries are high tax and they simply find it a safe place with a good lifestyle where they can still be connected to their culture.
No state income tax for Florida
Max, you switching camera so many times for no reason its hard to concentrate at the main thing - the man and his opinion.😢
Another tax avoider
I'd argue Switzerland is a larger scale/example, especially POLITICS/DEMOCRACY where Singapore is still behind. Definitely If I could be born or move anywhere, Switzerland is top choice ahead of Singapore.
Where are you based now?
Singapore is a city state and I don’t believe that model can scale to a geographically immense place like the US.
Singapore is like Venice or Florence when they peaked as centers of commerce.

Singapore has arrived
Can you address this. Residents of Singapore, which ranks fifth in the world in terms of GDP per capita, were the least likely to report positive emotions. I do not want to move to an unhappy country.
bro i would definitely dubai because more landed property and more money and more business and more malls and a lot more. rent is less to pay. not that expensive. Singapore is just too small and you cant put anything on rent because i am foreigner. i got pr but ever since lee hsien loong changed the immigration laws of landed property and we couldnt put it on rent anymore.The house was well paying. So I am sorry but singapore is not a good option.

I think this channel has been focusing too much on the 1% and foreigners that never wish to criticize SG.
You definitely need to set up a channel to talk about "normal and poor" people in SG.
Easy for him to say given hes retired and is self funded. Younger Singaporeans have challenges which he doesnt and probably doesnt care about.
You should come back and review your comment 10 or 20 years later. 😂😂😂
Don’t be fooled, he is only representing the millionaires and billionaires in Singapore. Yeah when you have lots of money, Singapore is a fantastic place to rock in: low tax, great safety, great infrastructure, comfortable to live, you get almost everything you want, zero capital gain tax, zero inheritance tax, low corporate tax, and zero dividends tax and yes, it’s quite cheap to live in Singapore…. If you have lots of money.
mjm
you are absolutely right
.
We are literally made of rubber.Money changed everything. Many words come out because u got a lot of money .Singapore homeless is a real suffering. Fyi
Time you create a channel dedicated to "normal and poor and homeless" Singaporeans.
A lot of rich people love SG bcoz they can dump their dirty money there without questions!
Remember what LKY said,"Rest on laurels? I wish I could do that. No, you rest when you’re dead”.
The current Singapore must do better or be replaced.
When you are rich enough to retire comfortably, of you you talk all the nonsense you want.
But remember, there are still even more Singaporeans who had given more than 2 years of their lives to Singapore.
Anyone who has not, has no right to fart from their mouths.

80% of Singaporeans do not actually own their own homes, since 90% of the land in Singapore is owned by the Singaporean government. 80% of Singaporeans purchase a 99-year lease from the Singapore Housing Development Board at subsidized prices.
90% of land in Singapore is publicly owned, and made available through lease to private enterprise. Over 80% of the population live in public housing flats, yet at the same time own a lease on these flats.
5:00 the guest is talking about how safe Singapore is, how good to travel as Singaporean, food is good blah blah. However, these concepts are not the everyday lifestyle of common people where they have to worry paying their bills every month, afraid to getting sick as medical care are costly, and the threat of losing job. Come on, you are talking from a different angle and can never understand how Singaporean lives. So don’t pretend to know the locals and admits you are living in your own world only.

You've no rights to comment on our domestic affairs where Singaporean had to put in 2yrs NS + 10yrs reservists in NS. You've no experience when comes to non stop threatening calls/letters.
Good Lord, I pray that Singapore is not the future. A city inhabited by citizens with a dedication to work above all else.
Another make believe max
Superfluous content. Did he grow up here in a rental flat? Served NS? Went for ICT? There is no job guarantee for Singaporeans. We need to face stiff competition from foreigners be it a university spot or a job vacancy. We do NOT own our homes. HDBs are on a 99-year lease! Are you even aware of the homelessness situation in Singapore? Obviously your content is geared towards a positive side of Singapore, without revealing the true reality.
well said
Endless opportunities. If you're an expat. "Old guys get it, the young dont"? Please. I'm very well travelled, I lived abroad for a short bit & work in giant MNCs in Singapore. Don't you & Max dare say that SG youths don't understand or should be grateful. Yea we should be grateful to always be lorded over our white Lords. The audacity of these people to come here and tell us what to do or how to feel. Makes me sick.
The beauty of Singapore is you can always become an opposition member yourself and take part in politics if you think you have the capability. Do you? From how you express your point, I think it is best you continue to be 'lorded over'

@@noproblematallmate Same old reasoning from typical sheep like you. Please do have the capability to come out with something new.
Max is a white men with an orientalist pov, should we really be surprised by him and his people?
Awesome city discussion.
