Actually like I wrote in my earlier message, it is not a race or skin
colour thing, because Singaporean Chinese also dislike Chinese from
China. However if you are a white caucasian you will be given the best
treatment, because people here still think that all white people are
very rich and advanced. Is it like this in the west ?

By the way, there is someone who is always posting nasty remarks about
Singaporeans, it is not known what his motive is, but it is best to
just ignore him. He goes by different names, and the latest seem to be

There's
discrimination everywhere, but it doesn't give one person the right

generalise that way about an entire society. It seemed very
dismissive
and naive, not to mention in need for anger management.

Yes i know what r u trying to say... but racist ppl are everywhere in
the world. In every country... in the east or in the west...

Bear in mind that you can be fined for spitting, fined for not flushing a
public toilet, fined for having a potted plant on your balcony (it could fall
off & hurt somebody), fined for sneezing sideways & a thousand other things.
Everything works in Singapore & everything's neat & clean...at a price.

so you are doing that at home? Yep, there are fines for those things
but they don't bother me as I won't do it anyway.

In article , Miguel Cruz says...

For holidays to Malaysia, it's much cheaper to hire one than to own one.

If you live in Singapore (and have PR or citizenship) you are not
allowed to drive a car in Singapore that has not a Singapore license
plate (i.e. a Malaysian one).

They aren't stupid....

I don't know and I don't care about defending Singaporeans but their
news and shows show integration. Techies working side by side and
people of varying shades of tan having frappacinos. Is that not a
reflection of real life there?
