    Great video, for boys / man it is the national service that defines them as Singaporean. Duty honor country, maybe it is propaganda but when you go through it, parts of you get ingrained into you

      Yes, many of my Singaporean male friends would agree with you there!

    Nice video! I noticed everyone u interviewed on the street are wearing face masks. Is that still a Coivd related health requirement these days in Singapore? Or it has to do with the forest fire smog from Indonesia?

      Hi! Thanks for watching! This was filmed in 2021 - when covid regs still required mask usage 😊

      I think there was intent as well as maybe some good fortune, not to disregard the pure hard work of a whole generation.

    Singaporean needs to be more polite in talking / behaving like you

      Thank you - I do my best to be polite.. do you feel Singaporeans are not polite?
