    What a remarkable, talented man. Despite everything, he is still standing and dancing, and sharing his passion with others. And he's happy. There's a lesson in persistence to be taken from Antonio's story. Impressive and amazing ❤

    This interview on Antonio is one of the best and most interesting episode of all of Max's videos. Keep it up Max you are doing great
    in this field of interviews. Antonio's interview shows of a man who is positive and wise in his dealings in whatever he does. On his advance
    in age and daily physical activities which takes a toll on him I suggest he takes (on a daily basis) a pick-me-up health supplement also its
    for longevity. I am 77 and have been taking this particular brand of health supplement for over three years now and plan to live in my 90s and healthy.
    He was wise not to take statins as it is a drug which slowly but surely kills you. The big pharmas are earning huge profits on this drug at the expense
    of us humans.

    I have been following your channel for some time but i have to say this one is the best ever! I met Antonio when i was working as a Security Officer over at Pelangi Village some years back. Don't think he remembers me but we hold small chats with my shitty Italian/Spanish and i must say he's a very very humble man with a big heart. His life story completely blew me away! A perfect example we should all aspire to be!

    Thankful for showing different lifestyles and helping me to open up my mind. Not just the 9-5 routine or OT. life is more than work. He has done it in the early years and enjoyed his life. Many just coup up the same routine day after day. I would love to experience life from seeing these. When living in sg, sometimes it's so easy to sink into all about work all the time. Work hard and play hard is still not an easy thought. Came from the work hard and work harder environment. Life is too short to spend 80% of the time to just work and not explore the world.

    Some Westerners think of Singaporean culture as culturally inferior to Western culture. This is nothing more than the brown-stained racial bucket directly beneath one's brown hole. Money, power, opportunity--three words that conjure up images of Singaporean / Chinese culture for many Westerners and expats in Singapore...as if that is all there is to it. But what do the facts say? Singapore is safe, clean, stable, and people are gentle and treat one another with respect. And that's not culture? Is "culture" considered culture only when it is of Western origin? What many of these snobs miss out is that Chinese and Singaporean culture is very deep. It is deep and profound because it is immensely rich and adopts best cultural practices from Western, Indian, Malay, and Chinese culture. Through a process of trial and error, Singaporeans have learnt to work fairly with one another, always keeping in mind never to foist their religion, language, and ideas of the good life on others. Singaporeans are not ideological and have no use for fluff, puff, or chest-beating intimidation unlike some countries that put nationalism ahead of humanity. So give Singaporeans a break already! They have done enough for the world despite their lack of geographic and historical good fortune. Max is doing a great job bringing Singaporeans and the world together, and that's HIGH CULTURE! It's not just talk, but real action that eases tension and promotes understanding and compassion for all in Singapore regardless of nationality, language, religion, or socio-economic background. I see kindness every day in Singapore where ordinary people go out of their way to help someone, and they do this despite living very busy, difficult lives. That's culture--and a very good one . I want my children to learn from Singapore. ❤
