Do you want more Indians?
No thanks. We don't welcome those PMETs who come here via CECA trade agreement. We don't trust them.
They came here took away all the goodies away from local breed Singaporean left those cheap stock n shit for local to clear but they back home build big houses. If he is smart should stay in India n make their own country man n lift up their standard of living n not run away make big bucks n enjoy himself with family, that's not successful if wealth are not share
Jauh sebelum Orang-orang Immigrant *China Tiongkok dan India* datang,, di masa sejarah awal Sebelum Singapura terbentuk Ras Singapura hanya dihuni oleh Suku asli *Jawa Melayu Bugis Aceh Minangkabau*
Tanyalah kepada mereka Maks Chernov *(Sudut Pandang jawaban Mereka)* sebagai warga orang Pribumi Singapura ,, saya ingin mendengar jawaban jawaban mereka dari Orang Orang itu mengenai mereka sebagai warganegara orang Asli sejati Singapura.
*Kalau hanya berfokus kontennya sudut pandangan interview kepada China India dan foreigners di Singapura ini tidak adil* !!!
Hahah. Your question is such a trigger, I can see the racist comments. I would welcome perspectives from all nationalities, not just Indians. But if you are featuring future Indians, I do know that India is a country of huge diversity so it would be good if you can feature that diversity in your selection of guests.
@@puaykimteo2997Hi, you are probably not aware of the unfair hiring practices by the CECA (the unfair trade agreement between Singapore and india). So the issue is not about racism, but unfair hiring practices of this particular category of from a certain country.
And no one talks about how he’s wearing a suit outdoors without breaking a sweat. That’s a fantastic achievement already. 😂
Used to it because India is even hotter sometimes
Lee Kuan yew is a legend. My father told me the story about him
When I was a kid. He is great example of a leader who built a country from scratch into one of the most successful countries in the world 🌎.
I agree with you totally, LKY was a visionary and took the difficult decisions needed to create a great country. He is an inspiration indeed.
👍Love him wearing a business suit in a tropical weather. The warmest person here😊
I could listen to Mr. Vikas talk for hours. Thank you for interviewing him, as I'm meeting some amazing Singapore residents via this channel!
Thank you sincerely 🙏🏼
I am amazed how Mr.vikas explains the leadership & success trail (as in the ways of LKY leadership syle) and am proud to be a Singaporean. Today, we see so many leadership in many countries, but whether have they actually been a good leader or not..time will tell. A good leader will left something behind which history will judge, when against all odds.
Thank you David 🙏🏼

Another guy trying to get citizenship by talking about how wonderful LKY was. LKY was a dictator who lived during the time of rising manufacturing era in East Asia. All these shipping went through South East Asia. This Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia all benifeted. Singapore benifeted because they loved their ex colonial masters and Indonesia not much benefit because they hated their ex colonial masters. Malaysia was somewhere in between. LKY was a visionary because he loved his ex colonial masters while most leaders who fought and got independence from the British, Dutch, French etc hated them. Such behavior can be called visionary.

Max, amazing networking you have here! Appreciate all who came to contribute to Singapore and build their home here, win-win! Would also appreciate the edited version to allow more constructive suggestion or criticism (other than the weather) to help improve Singapore/Singaporeans to do better. Perhaps less sugar coated may not appeared so staged.
I'd like to have such a person around me. I left Germany because I did not see anything improving there, everything bureaucracy is just knocking on the entrepreneurs and trying to keep them as small as possible - but just let them survive. Best would be if the person would get some credit and locked into the country so they will work for the government and deliver constant taxes.
I'm not that kind of person, I want to run my business, build up my business - with my own money without debt (I pay with my time).
I also went to Asia, what a difference.... I'd never look back to Germany anymore.

It’s not only about to obey, it is about finding a good leader
Yes, one needs a good and honest leader to be able to follow with dedication.
Leadership and Followership go hand in hand to create success. (Notice that I never use the word ‘Obey’ in my sharing 😊)
Great insights about leadership, thanks!
Very good interview. Mr Vijay indeed have good advice about traits of a leader, leadership and that success is certain when you do what you truly love, have a good network of helpful people and a keen eye for opportunity and cease it when it comes.

Love this! Great to see Vikas here! Love his books as well 😊👍 Great to have him on my podcast before 🎙🎧
Totally agreed with his definition of "Leader".
Mr. Vikas Malkani is such a brilliant guy, highly intelligent, love listening to him talking about LKY 😂
Usually ICA will not tell them the reason because people might use or found any Loopholes to get through the system.Its always a secret and nobody knows the reason.And if they get invited to be a citizen meaning they are very lucky.
as an Indian citizen living as a Singapore pr, you can definitely apply for pr but citizenship you will never know.
Even now PR is not guaranteed
You are definitely get EP

The most impressive thing about this interview is the guy wearing a suit in Singapore and still being pleasant 😂😂
He is a wise man. Follow him for he gives good advice.
5:29 Exactly, this was what I was made aware since young. The worst idea with 100% support and following might yield results than the best idea with 1% following. One might say, if it's a good idea, people will subscribe to it. Not so. Particularly if that good idea involves sacrifice and things that do not gel (preferences) with the individual. I believe this is partly what they mean when, in speeches, the government representatives say: "Thank you for your trust."
True, singaporeans are lacking in entrepreneurial mindset, but we are very skilled workers, i hope the next generation would change

I totally agree with Mr. Vikas' definition of leadership. A person definitely performs best in the area of their strength.
So many "leaders" put their followers/subordinates in uncomfortable or awkward positions for "exposure", "showcasing" or "pushing you out of the comfort zone".
And we wonder why most people are prioritising making lesser mistakes, doing as little as possible and not sticking out their necks.

hi max, thank you for the great video! 👍 by the way where is this place?
River valley
You had us at 1:30 🤣
@11:03 - LKY worn the same shorts for years ?
If one cannot be a good leader, be a good follower then.
Interesting video and sharing. Regarding citizenship, while we do not know when he applied it and the circumstances, it has been quite clear in the last 10 years that citizenship and PR is much difficult to get especially for certain countries like India. Part of the reason could be due to the need to keep the CIMO ratio and concerns of an already large population of Indian professionals working here.
In order to strengthen one application, the key element that differentiate one from others beside financial and education level, is willingness to integrate. Things like putting their children in local schools, joining grassroots, staying is more communal places rather than expat areas does help in the application. 😊
Thanks Alvin, that’s a very good perspective ✅

good, good interview, my heart is warm
Singapore has a quota racial system, so if anyone got rejected, it likely means the quota is filled.
Yes, and this "reason" cannot be made known. It can't be fixed by an individual and the system is dynamic.
get educated
USA is a great country , it changed recently
Who is a better leader than Lee Kwan Yew? I'm wondering.
There are west Malaysian that apply 2 times to become a PR in singapore.only get approved the second time,so for citizenship most people I heard stay more than 5 years as PR then has higher chance of getting citizenship,it probably will speed up if your son or daughter is born in Singapore. Leaders are born especially visionary ones .you can go to university or have a PhD and still failed horribly as a leader ,you can to try people as much as you want but if they don't have the X factor they won't go far to become a leader. You know why he can't get citizenship because he is a coach,if he is the a cricket club owner it will be different.some PR after many years only get citizenship when their son is born in Singapore and served NS duties.
good if you could interview joseph prince lol :)
INTERVIEW MICROSOFT CEO OR GOOGLE CEO THEY ARE INDIANS
is he the one u said staying in HDB ??
As a Libertarian from the USA, Singapore is the ultimate destination...I came over to "toughen up" the team that will be working for me (which doesnt come easy based on culture) but the absolute skills and curiosity has shocked me (in a good way)...also i think cause Western Culture is different where there is a lot less top down and encouragement from the team members to speak their mind it has taken me a little time being called "boss" which is ok with my Italian-American heritage (you know why) but strange hearing at work...
Having said that im frustrated i cant wear my suits anymore or melt after being outside for 5 minutes but like i have said in previous comments Singapore is the calm in the massive storm coming to the world and its an absolute joy to just be able to live with good people....
Any chance we can create a A/C bubble?
Haha I’m waiting for it!
If you can come up with a wearable A/C. I will be forever grateful to you.🤑
As a libertarian, Hong Kong is a better destination. The Singapore government has more interference in people's lives and rules than Hong Kong does.
@@harisadu8998 see Taiwan....that is going to be the problem with HK going forward cause its not a matter of if but when China scoops up HK...its also why Singapore over took HK in the world financial district ratings (#1 NYC, #2 London #3 Singapore #4 Hong Kong......and they will fall further as Dubai will overtake them as well probably in next 2-3 years....
@@qwertyz212 HK's laws from a libertarian's perspective (especially one who can accept Singapore) haven't really changed. What has changed is HK's geopolitical status which has now been jeopardised by the Mainland.
Vikas is a new style guru for celeberities. He comes from a affluent brahmin family in India. His story that his parents build the business from nothing need to be fact check. He is just another smooth talker. Like he said his only skills are building a team. He probably will never critic even a tiny bit of LKY in his bid to become a Singapore citizen.
Exactly,these people who rose from nepotism at least had the "humility" to shut up.imagine thinking people followed lee kuan yew or whoever because they were obedient
@@titanicisshit1647 sorry. I accidentally criticise LKY. Please don't barr me from Singapore. I just spoke aloud by mistake

good advice but any comments from opposition will make it look bad so just bear with it.
Singapore is materially successful in a copycat way sans inventiveness, genius and discoveries but mainly is Singapore a happy country given its near complete focus of crass materialism and stressful habits to keep up its materialism.
Singapura would not be Singapura if not FOUNDED by the SANG NILA UTAMA was a prince from Palembang also he is the FOUNDER of the Singapura and not lee kuan yew

Max, why is your video in CZcams always so short between 10-15 minutes? I’m sure your conversation with guests could be an hour long lah !
We normally shoot 50-60 min of raw material, but the final product is normally 10-20 min long as it’s more consumable for a broad audience.

Ooo, understandable. Or you fear some of the guest’s opinion not palatable to Singaporean audience ? I think majority of your local viewers are mature to appreciate negative but sincere opinions of our country.

So based on his interpretation of Indians being entrepreneurs aka leaders, is that the reason why India has not been able to find success? Becos everyone wants to lead and few want to follow?
Too many assumptions
India is currently the fastest growing economy in the world.
And soon will be the 3rd largest economy too.
The success formula for a country is good visionary long term thinking at the leadership level, complemented by skilled and hardworking citizens.
That’s the winning formula.
@@wisdomwithvikas "The success formula for a country is good visionary long term thinking at the leadership level, complemented by skilled and hardworking citizens.

Are u implying Modi is a "visonary leader"? He is by far the most populist PM India has had in decades, that has no qualms about stirring Caste and religion, inflaming hatred of domestic Muslims minorities to gather votes among the Hindu majorities, to stirring up the border dispute with China to distract from his domestic shortcomings.
As of 2022, less than 30% of women aged 15-59 in India participate in the labour force. There have been numerous articles about illiteracy and the poor employment quality in India, even among graduates in the nation. While India’s population has been rising and in particular the working age population, India’s workforce is not rising in contrast.
Is this the "skilled and hardworking citizens" u are talking about?
Stop the hubris please.
@@freelancer1499 i understand your point of view.
Personal opinions aside, if you are open enough to see the before and after comparison for the country, it becomes extremely clear what the facts are.
Numbers do not lie.
Results do not lie.
The country is growing and the results and numbers show it.
That’s also the reason why the world is coming to India to invest and grow with it.
@@wisdomwithvikas
"That’s also the reason why the world is coming to India to invest and grow with it."
When India's single biggest FDI since forever has been the tiny island of Singapore, I am not sure which part of "the world" you are referring to that have the results and numbers to show for it.
In fact companies have been running, from Wistron winding down operation in India, to Foxconn just recently exiting a US$20 billion Indian semiconductor joint venture with Vedanta.
Strange way to end the video. What happened? Malkani's battery went flat suddenly?
Another name for 8ndian is Ceca. The most hated foreigner group in Sg according to FB
Interesting that he failed his citizenship interview, and that no reason was given! Singapore's population is approximately 80% Han Chinese. Singapore only exists as it does, a city state, because the Chinese and ethnic Malays didnt get on well politically, and so Singapore split off from the federation of Malaya/Malaysia. Many people around the world see Singapore as a great ethnic melting pot and as a shining and great example of how different races and cultures can live with each other. But this point of view to some extent misses the point that Singapore only exists as a country so that it can have a Han Chinese majority. I have no doubt that in a thousand years time Singapore will still be a Han Chinese majority state. They will accept far more Han Chinese migrents than non Chinese mingents. They deliberately don't want too many other non Chinese residents or citizens. This is only natural human behaviour. Whether or not this constitutes racism is open to debate and opinion!
He is actually saying Singapore has everything except a soul.A country and government that refuses to speak the language of the region.That is why the only bestseller is written by Lee kuan Yew.Our Indian friend can borak until the chickens come home to roost.
He can attend a Halloween party and claims to cosplay Kingpin
Huge miss by this guy. Does not get the real story of Singapore.
I think, that: it would -be: "Just(ice)": for:
India, to: "(re)become "The World's rich-est_Nation/country"": as apparently; that is what they were and their "right-full??"!!-Place; (dare I say!?)?? [In_history] **"pre -colonization!?"??** "Their "Natural_Position!?"!!"??
You cannot know the reason cos then you can game the system... duh
Why not? Let’s say you find out that you need an MBA degree, X amount of investment and Y level of foreign language, then you can work out the gaps. It’s not called gaming the system.
Ignorant comment. You cannot know the reason because the criteria is inherently "racist". There are racial quotas that the government needs to fill, no sane government on Earth would admit publicly to choosing people based majorly on race.
His ego has bruised from rejection of Singapore citizenship. He is dreaming if Singapore will ask him to apply again 🤣. If you're really want something you try again and ask reasons of rejections and learn from it. He was probably nervous, didn't answer questions properly or came across arrogant with citizenship officer.
His English is so high grade people who think they know English well would think he's wrong but actually his is too good
in other words kiss butt lol

Bagi saya Singapura tidak mencirikan identitas Lokal banyaknya percampuran Budaya Asing sehingga nilai nilai Budi luhur lokal dihilangkan.
*Saya ingin bertaruh cobalah bertanya kepada mereka seberapa besar pengetahuan wawasan mereka mengenai tentang Sejarah Singapura jauh sebelum Lee Kuan Yew datang kelahiran dari China Tiongkok mendarat di Singapura dahulu bernama Tamasek Ujung Pandan*
Tanyalah kepada mereka siapa pendiri Singapura,, Siapa Nama Pencipta Lagu Negara Majulah Singapura,, dan Siapa nama pembuat Bendera Singapura. Tanyalah kepada mereka bang wahai Maks Chernov
Saya tau Orang Singapura selama ini didoktrin batas pengetahuan mereka ke sejarah Singapura hanya sebatas *Lee Kuan Yew kelahiran dari China Tiongkok mereka bilang dialah pendiri Singapura*
Bagi saya nilai nilai Budi luhur Singapura sudah dihilangkan, apa artinya lagu majulah Singapura adakah rakyat mereka paham bahasa Indonesia Lagu Singapura itu ?? Saya Juga berani bertaruh sebagian besar rakyat Singapura tidak bisa berbahasa Indonesia..
Thousands of Indonesian islands and without any remarkable leaders, these islands remain unknown and not overwhelmingly successful.
Sounds like a very sour grape.
You are not just a sour grapes also a racist, if Indonesia never anti Chinese economic can be more successful by now, and why Indonesia now has to ask for china help to develop and build your infrastructure?
Kamu org Indonesia pun nak cari gaduh,asyik copy paste komen Yang sama… sudahlah….
So bitter. Such negativity and jealousy.
