Fact check! Locals did not self-proclaim Singapore as a "Little Red Dot" on our own merely because of its size. In 1998, the then Indonesian President Habibie first described Singapore as being no more than "a little red dot" out of spite! Singaporeans have since come to embrace that nickname.
I visited Spore on budget, don't be tricked by this video. You can easily have a nice representable hotel in Chinatown and the Hawker centres, scatttered all over Spore offer very nice Malaysian, Singaporean dishes . Enjoy !!!!
Few weeks ago, on CNA, a Singapore TV show, there was a documentary about old folks dying alone at home 😢 a man said he doesn't close his front door, only the secondary metal frames door, just in case he die, people can discover his body sooner 😢
I find expensive hotel staff pleasantries to be phony. You arrive as a guest, you leave as a friend and you return as a family- meh. You're paying them to be nice to you, thats all.
I traveled to Singapore on the Ultra wealthy budget of the United States Government. Met and hung out with a lot of oil workers and locals, a very beautiful place. You gotta check out the port where all the boats come in and out…like something out of a movie.
@@Thefewfunds I am from Singapore. Go to the neighbourhoods or what we call heartlands over here to experience the Singaporean life/vibe though you might not like it as it's not the luxurious experience you had. Heck, buzz me the next time you're here. I can show you around, just not in a Rolls Royce and with Butlers.
Most Singaporeans go to the Marina Bay Sands once a year when their employer throws a company dinner. We arrive early to walk around for free and that’s just about it.
Raffles Singapore was one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever experienced. Excellent service and hospitality. The Singapore Sling at Long Bar was a little overrated. The Gin Sling, tasted much better….suggest by our host when I was there 😎
As a Malaysian that moved to the United States for a while now, I will be flying back to Singapore and Malaysia soon and I can't wait to explore Singapore. Planning to make a bunch of videos there as well, it's such a beautiful country! AND of course the food! Malaysian/Singaporean food are the best! (I am biased :D)
for the hotel man who said you come back as 'family' if it is like 'family' I am not coming back for another 10 or 20 years. Family brings too much drama. I don't want to spent 10,000 dollars a night to have someone cuss me out.
Visited Bucharest few months ago on a business trip...well...small Paris is closer to a dream than to reality. 😂 Buildings lacking maintenance, no cycling infra, huge traffic jams, awful public transportation (especially the trams are SOMETHING 😅). There is a potential but you are far far away at this moment.
I visited Bucharest last October and fell in love. It truly is the safest city in Europe. And so much English! Many fast food places had English titles with Romania subtitles. Most people under thirty speak some English, which came as a shock. I spent the most civilized night of my life at the fountains in Bucharest. I will return.
As someone who used to live and workm in SG, you cant be tricked into this crap. Whch is why a lot of people go broke, except for Singaporeans. The only expensive thing in Singapore is accomodation. Evrything else like bus fare, train, groceries and food and affordable. A Singaporean said to us bfore, in Singapore, you dont need to spend more tha n 10 SGD in 1 day. I think as of today, its 15SGD. THat already includes your bus/train fare, lunch and shop around for a nice iced cold drink
Living standard in Singapore is really high even for the lower class but for people wanting to emigrate there, Singapore only accepts the rich or experts
I visited Spore in budget... With lots of Hawkers, you can experience a lot of Malaysian/ Singapore food for cheaper than cheap. Everything from chicken to fish
lol 😂 no way I’m eating an undercooked pigeon. Singapore 🇸🇬 is well worth the visit. But I can also imagine a lot of tourists that visit there are stretching their budgets.
This is the first time I'm hearing of the show "Crazy Rich Asians" and suddenly I'm reminded why I haven't watched television for the better part of ten years.
The only thing remotely interesting in that itinerary was the boat in the end. The rest of this hilariously boring and not far different from travelling elsewhere except for more air-conditioning. It says a lot, for example, that the only person interviewed who actually dresses for the weather here is the captain on that ship.
Singaporean here. Whatever is at Sands is bad taste. Look at the shops from a little distance for a better perspective, they all are tacky. Real Luxury is one that isn't store-bought but made bespoke.
Southeast Asia looks meh? How come way more people prefer to go there instead of the US? Who in their right mind would want to go to Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco etc over Singapore, Bangkok, Hanoi etc plus all of the paradise islands, beaches, jungles, mountains of Southeast Asia?
@@kayflip2233 I'm not talking about SE Asia. Rather, I'm talking about these luxury places in the video. They, like other luxury places around the world, look meh, overhyped, and overpriced. This video is more like a commercial to these places than an objective informative video.
As Singaporean I can tell you we only go to Marina Bay Sands mall just for the air-con
as a Singaporean I go to Marina Bay Sands for the air-con & once a week TWG visit.
And the restaurants
Indoenshians : What does Marina Bay Sands even mean ❓
As Filipino tourist, we do the same.
What's wrong with your regional library?

As "Ghanain" 1%er, I would still only window-shop when given the opportunity.

As a Singaporean, we don't even eat pigeon 😂.
That's a relief. They're considered flying rats in my part of the world.
@@i.m.7777 Singapore mostly have Hokkien ancestry, but pigeon is Cantonese cuisine, anyway, very delicious indeed.
Honestly, why would anyone go to Singapore for French cuisine? Give me char kway teow instead

A proper title for this video would have been, "Where the ultra wealthy stay & visit when they travel to Singapore."

This is becoming a worldwide problem. People without children, or whose children move great distances, are becoming common in the developed world.

You just went to the wealthy part, that's not the essence of the country.
@@dd-dd2co yeah, I didn’t get to explore like I wanted but it was still a great experience. Have you been? And what areas would you suggest?

Try the local chicken rice, don't cost 30,000 USD, can be 3 USD only.
Looks like an ad to MBS and Raffles
Especially raffles. Wth does a drink have to do with luxury?
Exactly what I was thinking
After all, they were the ones contacting CNBC to make that video. Nothing weird or novel about it
1st visit, how much discount can you give me since we're best friends?
2nd visit, how many years can I stay there since we're family?
If you need to ask the price, you can't afford the place. Haha. It is soooooooooo expensive

The Cost of Living IS Pricier In Spore Than In Malasyia 🤔
@@KamBar2020 Very much so. Food and accommodations in SG is very expensive
@@VincentXGoh Food is not expensive but affordable. The same goes with its public transportation.
@@Zayn-jc4zt That's true
14:51 Are you ready to go first class by sailing the seas, shop till you drop, visit the best hotels and restaurants that Singapore has to offer? lol

All okay but never gonna eat that pigeon dish 😂
I love that they showed a photo of a dictator and a dictator wannabe who stayed at the Cappella hotel. 😅

I love my place.. cities are like 🤑🤑 cruising even better
Can't wait to go visit!
@@FV1KAWASAKIH2 I know Singa is expnsive.. I don't mind especially when you see how everything is run of there! I don't mind the premium at all!!
Be sure to take Singapore Airlines, the greatest airline in the world.
@@northernbohemianrealist that would be cherry on the cake...

Imagine being a millionaire, a billionaire even and eating pigeon!?!? 😱 this is crazy.
That's why it's called CRAZY Rich 🤯
Are you kidding me? The Uber rich are the ones most likely to do insane things.
Better than the junk that you eat
@@JohnSkyLey it really isn’t but ok. Let’s agree to disagree.
What's the point if you can't show the prices??
They say if you have to ask about the price you are broke my friend & this isn't for you😅

It's a Hollywood film, not a TV show.

A beautiful country to visit if you likes all the intelligent man made human creativity out of a box.
man, I am Singaporean and very jealous.

It seems that the ultra-wealthy are quite similar everywhere, doesn’t it? They're all rich.

Question: who are this video aimed for?
Because as Singaporeans, our daily lives are not that opulent.
Singapore is call a Shining Red Dot now. It also don't need to shine unnecessary.
I hate how this is how SG is portrayed
Can't be even further than the truth if you're just a regular joe
Yes

Dry shake??? So, just normal shaking, then?
Did I hear Shopping luxury cars??
Singapore do not have a minimum wage.

I thought the Fullerton hotel is much better
a city for rich people
this while the 100s of millions of people in the world go without food, disgusting.

Unfortunately, Singapore is a very souless and boring island to live because there is nothing much to do in daily life in Singapore.
Maybe that's just because you don't know many people there? People make life exciting not locations.
