why everybody is leaving everywhere, in Egypt the situations are economically catastrophic in the Gulf countries they started to get satisfied and no longer needing foreigners in the UK racism and high crime rates in Germany the same in USA high taxes in Canada high unemployment rates and taxes so where do you suggest living
The right choice of an investment has always been a big problem for me I know picking a wrong investment will leave a big scar in the future
Sounds like the UK! Except in the UK no social housing, a plenty of unbuilt privately owned land, failing infrastructure, declining foreign and domestic investment, low wages, lack of accessible public services like health care. Well, seems like increasing poverty and inequality are similar, and focus on financial services. So much for our Singapore-on-Thames.
We are currently in a severe global economic downturn and every country is trying to survive.
GDP per capita isn't everything, this is why.
As Lee Kuan Yew said himself, Singapore's success is primarily due to the invention of air-conditioning
We won't die of hunger in Singapore. Can drive Grab, be a security guard or a cleaner
Finally it's great to expose the real image of Singapore
Hard truth: India is just seen a cheap labour destination and market for goods by developed countries. Not a superpower.
7:09 "Sngapore's Polulation" tells you everything you need to know about this video's production quality.
If you retired get out of Singapore go overseas. Go somewhere where your money can take you a long way
English is NOT the national language of Singapore. It is Bahasa Melayu or Malay. English, Mandarin, Tamil in addition to Malay are accorded official status. The national anthem and military commands are still in the national language, Malay.
90 per cent stayed in owned HDB flats. Rental only an issue for new residents and migrant workers.
I disagree, Singapore is cheaper than La, California. I teach globally, Seoul, Taipei, homg Kong, Singapore. I lived just fine. Living a high end, fashion, materialistic life and driving a car are expensive. Normal life with metro, normal, cheap lifestyle. Saved lots money. Built beachfront house in Vietnam.
Singapore is not perfect, and its problems are not unique. Unfortunately, being kiasu is the price for being a prosperous and highly productive nation with no natural resources. Singapore is not a place to retire, but it is great for the young and ambitious!
The younger generation of professionals in Singapore better think of migrating overseas. The cost of living has gone crazy like housing, food prices, etc. Singapore is flooded with foreign talents and rich foreigners. To make matters worse, giving grants to encourage couples to produce more babies ended up with the wrong type of couples producing more not high-quality babies 😂
National language of Singapore isn’t English….. it is Bahasa Melayu 5:18 …….. English is the administrative language of Singapore
I'm a Canadian who has been to Singapore twice in my life . First in 1966 and then in 2018 and boy , what a difference . But then I was born and still live in Toronto and boy " what a difference ". The one thing that would bother me the most about living in Singapore , as someone who loves to take long road trips and camp all over North America , would be a feeling of claustrophobia .
The government of Singapore is rather vindictive towards Singaporeans who leave. Dual citizenship is not permitted and good luck trying to work in Singapore if you ever renounce your citizenship. Sometimes, they call out Singaporeans for leaving Singapore during hard times. The irony is Singapore is comprised primarily of Chinese who historically left China due to economic challenges in their ancestral homeland in different waves. Life is also borderline pointless for the vast majority, homes are basically identical Lego blocks and having children is beyond the majority of many minds, yet for those who want to have children through surrogacy cannot do so, and one can only access they’re frozen eggs if they are heterosexually married, with gay couples not being allowed to adopt either, yet subsidised homes are given to heterosexually engaged couples who don’t need to have children, but are justified as having priority since they’re “likely” to have children. The policy failure is frustrating because it’s purely vindictive and ideological, but I suppose when you have an ex minister of social and family development having to leave due to adultery but during his time as MSF deciding to refuse to expand familial benefits to single mothers (with the justification that such a lifestyle is not to be encouraged), the nonsensical changes to the National exams which really are just complicated rebranding, and the extreme control the government has everywhere, even in the apparently autonomous NUS, it thus becomes no surprise why educated and qualified Singaporeans wish to leave. It’s either you work in Singapore for a while then migrate or you just immediately leave for a growing number of us, me included. People used to say migrating makes you a second-class citizen, but it’s becoming increasingly the case that being a first class citizen in Singapore is worse than being a second class citizen in other first world nations.
The kiasu culture came mainly from the chinese race which forms the majority in Singapore. the indians,malays and other races are not so kiasu as them.
Live fast, die young. Things will only stagnate from now on, like in Japan and Italy. Why not take a long-term approach. Instead of peaking within 60 years and then declining, why not commit to a 200-year strategy with a healthier, less stressful environment and more comfortable growth?
Good video. And this doesn't even take into account the immense social and environmental costs that have been inflicted on Singaporeans in this pursuit for economic success. Singapore is like a miserable billionaire - someone who divorced his spouse, abandoned his kids and ceased all his hobbies and threw himself into work to build a billion dollar company, after which he then sits alone realising there is neither warmth, honesty nor enjoyment in his billion dollar life.
I saw many very old people there working cleaning jobs etc. to make ends meet. There's a lot of rich but a lot of hidden poor and not much social security. It's a nice city but for me, it's the weather makes it unlivable. No seasons, just extreme heat and sun year round.
great video, but you really need to have smoother animations/more frames. It looks like the video is going 15 fps or stuttering. At 1:21 for example.
the more expensive my kopi becomes, the less i want to work
Why be so fixated with national boundaries?? I can work and stay in the city (Singapore) during weekday and go stay in Malaysia on weekends (train ready in 2026). I bought a cheap apartment in Johor. The only problem for Singapore parents is their own Kiasu mentality. Weekends are busy sending kids for tuition or piano classes.
Many of my nieces and nephews are working at home after office hours. Some work till late night. This is very unhealthy. Many also complain about not being able to get a BTO flat and marriage has to be delayed!! HDB should have build flats ahead of demand. Then the situation will not be so serious today (caused by delay due to Covid). COE prices are very high. Many people need a car for a living. Government should have built more roads many years ago. And they keep increasing the workers levy. Even for construction industry where Singaporeans are not keen to work
Utter BS...Singapore's population increasing about 50,000 on average every year
Beware. When its at its peak the only way forward is down.
Singapore suffers from extreme UHI effect. The night time heat is getting worse.
So happy with this video. More people leaving Singapore, more space for me
Sounds like most high income countries
SP is following HK and S. Korea. HK is lucky to united to China so people have alternative to mainland to get out of the corporate controls society.
My friends' children are based overseas. Reasons : higher salaries and lower costs of living. Better work life balance.
SLAVERY SYSTEM
Man you make great videos I love this ❤ keep on going it’s great makes my day
Too poor to live in Singapore and yet able to uproot themselves to emigrate?
“Limited land resources” - looking at how much land is wasted on roads and parking no wonder they have not enough land for housing.
Housing problem clearly can be solve..build higher..what SG have now is not much high..SG dont have land but have space upwards..utilise it to max..as you can see the housing is lowered and not much can supply the demand
You can't have both sides of the bread buttered. With economic success and appreciating assets, reversal isn't possible without the house of cards tumbling down. A lot don't get why the S'pore passport has been heralded as the most valuable in the world, and it 's not because of your holidays abroad. Your choice to view these things as opportunities, or obstacles.
the National Language of Singapore is never English. it is Bahasa Melayu. there are otherwise, 4 recognised official language of Singapore, Mandarin Chinese, English, Tamil, Bahasa Melayu
That’s why Rent should never bee investment. Price should stay the same for 10-20years after it build
Goood but really it's the part with foreign investment that's causing it
Property Tax makes them to Live but when outgrown they go to the Neighbouring Countries. Singapore Investments in ASEAN Region offers a Better Hope for Singaporean Citizens. Singapore Trade with ASEAN Region with Financial Capital as the Base do Offer the Best of Singapore's Productivity for Better Livelihoods.
PAP, why not solve the high cost of living first. Housing and car are so ridiculously expensive. Living cost in Singapore is too high and quality of life is lower than other countries where big house and car are so achievable. Furthermore, in these countries, you own the house unlike 99 years leasehold in Singapore where one don't own the house but like renting one. But majority of people don't realize that as they don't venture out of Singapore and continue with the rat race.
The party has got that all that figured out years ago. Low fertility is not a problem if work visas are relaxed even further. How else did the country double its population from 2000 to 2020 with a fertility rate of 1.2?
Those citizens who can leave Singapore are definitely not from the bottom quintile.
My uncle was granted a LL.D. from NSU.
Singaporeans get CDC vouchers.
Housing is a big problem in Oz too. Even US has big homelessness.
7:12 chart title full of mispellings is funny
I am not anti PAP. I just want to contribute and hope PAP can offer a solution or explanation
starting on August 2026, resident of singapor are require to pay tax for pet dog and cat......
Interesting video, was hoping you could provide the sources used in the creation of it?
It's becuase their military seems to be declining in relative power in the region compared to Malaysia and Indonesia, meaning that it has all been for nothing. It's a police state. China would probably claim the territory if they still spoke Chinese.
most overestimated country no freedom
At 12:44 all of the kids are Singaporeans. Why did you put Taiwan, Myanmar and India flags over some of the kids' heads? 💀
My mother could have bought there in the 50's buy choose to keep renting.
Streaming in Singapore education is a damaging scheme and failure.
Same problem in a lot of western cities
Very good coz we're full - local
😂😂😂 You are so anti.Singapore in disguise 😅😅 Public Housing are always make available🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉…fyi
need the lee kuan yew reincarnation
What a horrible place to live
Why no raise wage
Because of their autocraticleader.
Don't spread bullshit about it's reasons for independence bro.
This video is going to get pofma
Buy land from your neighbor.
Seems like They really need a lebensraum of their own
A country were silver generation can't afford to retire but clean tables at hawker centres.
Rubbish. Please show verifiable data how many Singaporeans actually left and where did they go?
What else is new? The party has to end at some point. (unless you have another party to go to)
English is the National Language of SIngapore? Please do your research. English is ONE of FOUR OFFICAL LANGUAGES. The National Language however is still Malay. This is not a matter of opinion. It is a matter of the constitution. As for the issue of Streaming in education, the introduction of Normal Technical was not and has never been in the 1980s. It was in the mid 90s that it was introduced, by which time LKY had already stepped down as PM. The N(T) stream was introduced under the fool of a Minister of Education called Teo Chee Hean. Further as of 2220 the streaming system has been replaced with subject banding, the culmination of 15 years of trying to find a solution for something that should have never been in the first place. There are other aspects of your video which mash up facts and timelines to create a somewhat misleading image, whilst what is mentioned here is true bear in mind "correlation is not causation".
Sounds like a worldwide problem lol
Forget Singapore...... Bahrain is the place to be!
What utter nonsense
Singapore is livable. The entry price is $50M minimum.
By the way, 1:55. Singapore is not an island. You cant drive a car off an island. But can take a car, bus taxi from Singapore to Malaysia. So its a pynselvania.
哪里会幸苦？ 新加坡的屋子其实也是很便宜。 两个人15年的CPF就可以买3/4房的祖屋了。
