Jit.. you are never a traitor or betrayer. Changing citizenship is a personal right. It's an individual choice that should be respected. But listening to you I can feel in your heart, in your mind, in your attitude towards life and in your chill and relax way of experiencing life, you imbued Malaysianness rather than Singaporeanness. Even you are now a Singapore citizen but we Malaysian still welcome you with an open heart. Di mana bumi dipijak di situ langit dijunjung. Di mana hati bertapak di situlah cinta berlangsung!

Tom, our background is similar but our opinion is different. I am from Penang and I live in Singapore and USA since I was 20 years old. Penang is good for visiting friends and family and the food but living cost in Malaysia is not cheap if you earn RM being an employee. When your salary is low, bigger house and car also dont come naturally and easy. Safety is an issue, you need to make sure you lock your house and cars properly and don't park at area where it's too dark etc. These are totally not an issue here in SG. Income tax in Malaysia is higher than SG. RM currency becoming weaker and weaker since 1997...Yes medical is cheap in Malaysia but do you fall sick everyday that you need to prioritize that as the decision to stay in Malaysia? Same with Jit, it's bittersweet moment when I become a Singapore citizen. Sweet cus I know Singapore more than Malaysia and finally I can call this my country and have my voting rights. Bitter because it's such a pity Malaysia with natural resources and talents become worse and worse due to corruption and all the bumiputera privileges inequality. Pls tell me which country in the world other than Malaysia where benefits and special care is give to the majority race instead of minority (look at Aus, NZ, USA, Taiwan etc).... Penang will always be my hometown but I call Singapore home 😘

So for short term, which is better Singapore or Mslaysia. It is a tough call.

I recently spent time in both, and loved both as well, but if I had to choose just one, I'd say Singapore. To me, it is like an Asian Utopia where streets are clean, there is practically no crime, and it is modern and futuristic. KL reminds me of a developing city in China, where there are glistening, shiny skyscrapers meant to showcase their presence to the world, yet on the surface level, streets are still cracked and unkempt. There are still many "third world" elements. The people are equally nice in both though.

I'm an Indian Malaysian American and I love Malaysia and Singapore. I also love the USA I think too much criticism has come about the USA yet people want to live here I know that the Malaysians tend to keep the PR when they live in the US more than Singaporeans. Singaporeans however tend to convert to US citizenship. I also know that many Malaysians with PR in Singapore don't want to give up their Malaysian citizenship because they value certain other freedoms, family and lower cost of living and the extended families in Malaysia. Perspectives can be distorted by talking to just a few people. This is why you no need to look at the statistical aggregates and then probe deeper into examples within a category by interviews. The fact is I think many Malaysians will hang on to their PR even in Singapore even in Australia and even in the United States. Whereas Singaporeans will try to get a citizenship in a Western country. Paradox is if it's so good why do they want to emigrate out of Singapore? The National University of Singapore did of survey around the same time this gentleman is talking in the video.in the earlier 2000s. Shocking there were about 50% of the population wanted to emigrate with their CPF The Singapore government tracks the skills and economic food chain; they know that whoever needs a job and they usually come from the less well of parts of Southeast Asia. The more professional you are and not just wealthy outliers who bring capital flight with them; then with those professional skills that you possess you may go off to Australia, NZ or the United States leaving Singapore. The government knows the skill value chain that's why they give PR so quickly to those who are desperate to come there. The higher end professionals tend not to want to stay for long and value quality of life, relatively more natural freedom and diversity. Spontaneity is lacking and wanting in Singapore. Surprisingly they now report that KL and Malaysia have this vibe more than Singapore even with music, jazz , rock concerts and across the media It's less controlled there

I felt exactly the way he did giving up Malaysian citizenship...aww the bittersweet! The difficult decision to convert, the weirdness of accepting that I'm now using International lane at checkpoint, buying foreigner tickets at entertainment outlets. While waiting for the outcome, I was a little nervous, I asked some Malaysian-turned-Singaporean friends if it was an emotional process for them (they said no). I was born and have lived in Malaysia for half of my life, but educated in Singapore from primary school through JC and eventually work here. I've been in both countries long enough to recognise they have their own strengths and weaknesses, with very few overlaps, but I'm taking a risk here saying this - Malaysian food taste better. No contest. Sorry! 😛

But I also know Singaporean who decided to lives in Penang and like the less stress environment and enjoy the scenery and of course food. It's a matter of choice. For this brother, all younger his days he lives in west Malaysia, he should visit east Malaysia, to see the contrast of life and food. Cheers mate.

I am an Australian who has been retired in Chiang Mai for 15 years. I love Malaysia, but I don't enjoy visiting Singapore. Some of my Singaporean friends get a little upset when I tell them that being in Singapore is not substantially different then being in Sydney. I might have liked today's Singapore when I was a young man (bearing in mind I knew Singapore before it had any highrise buildings). In addition, I enjoyed growing up in Sydney and had some success there. Now I don't care for it whatsoever. I am fond of KL and Chiang Mai. I liked Bangkok as it was 30 years ago, but never wanted to live there, and I still don't.

Under the façade, this guy is still very much a typical Malaysian who think that everything in Singapore originate from Malaysia. Just to share a few facts that foreigners and even Malaysians may not be familiar with. 1. Malaysia that we know of today does not even exist until 1963 and Singapore was part of it for last than 2 years. 2. When the British arrived in 1819, Singapore was part of Johor Sultanate but was pretty much a undeveloped island with 1000+ residents. 3. It was after the British arrival and Singapore become a British colony that, there is an influx of immigrants from China and India. Of course some came from other Sultanates. A lot of Malaysians today have this delusion that all immigrants go to those Sultanates first before coming to Singapore, so all culture and food in Singapore today originate from so called Malaysia which I repeat, does not exist yet. 4. The fact is no one can be sure exactly which way is it. Was some food invented by immigrants from those Sultanates who went to Singapore or immigrants from China and India who went to Singapore and then at later time goes to Malaysia? 5. So its truly laughable to hear Malaysians keep talking about food originate from them with no historical evidence but just the narrative that "Singapore was part of Malaysia". 6. Lastly, it's funny that Malaysians keep talking about how their food is "better" when food is a very subjective matter. Why not talk about something else that you are better than Singapore, and can be supported with hard evidence? Or you can't find any?

No future as a teen in JB. So applied for grown men's job in Singapore's Keppel shipyards or at a rubber hot water bottle factory somewhere. I cried. Physically impossible for me to take the job. Finally ended at fast food joint as a cook at Orchard Rd. Even as far back in 1982 it was unimaginable for Malaysian to acquire PR. I don't know how this dude "just applied" and got it in 2001! Well you're a lucky man. Bless ya. Appreciate and be grateful with it Singapore is where its at. She changed my life. If it wasnt for her, I doubt I had found courage and inspiration to be bold. I wouldn't be a motion picture sound engineer in America today. I watch this channel closely. To see what has happened since. Some interviews are on the money. Great questions.
