>>2849948You were warned, faggot/trv/ has been shitting on singapore for years, and for good reason
>>2849948Why Singapore?
can i bring my own weed there to smoke?
>>2849951Death penalty.
>>2849948Singaporeans are going through their own economic bubble, just like Japan did in the 1980s. They think their value is equal to Switzerland's and their GDP per capita is the same, but there's no foundation to it. Switzerland has actual value and makes things of value. It can survive independently. Singapore is growing exponentially but there's no reason for that growth. It's entirely dependent on Malaysia in all ways for its continued existence. It's in for a brutal mogging by its neighbors when that bubble pops in the next few years. Its only value is in being the only somewhat developed city in a 100 mile radius, just like Hong Kong was in the 90s. At least Hong Kong has the backing of a mainland with 1.4 billion people. Singapore only has a somewhat OK airport and a brand of (imported) potato chips.

People have predicted it's collapse since the 70s but it seems more and more likely over time.
>>2849957I wonder when we will most past such primitive ways of being.

>>2849949I'm out of the loop, why do people hate Singapore so much? Is there a tier list?
>>2849965as far as i can tell its a weird mix of thingsbasically you have a high income city-state, surrounded by another country and as far as I can figure out it sort of functions as a vassal state for china like a luxembourg that somehow does things that wouldn't be allowed in mainland china or there's some sort of incentive to do it in singapore insteadso you get this dense metropolis of people, and it was a british colony so they are kinda stuck up but they are still dumb insect people so you get all the disadvantages of that and I guess it's not muslim but it's surrounded by people who are and they similarly have an ultra strict behavioral and legal codei guess its sort of the combination of having so much money and being so smug about it yet being kinda primitive and backwards that makes people rage
>>2849965Would you travel across the world to visit Des Moines, Iowa? What about Des Moines where it's ridiculously hot and humid all year? What about Des Moines but it's confined to a 20 mile wide space and there's absolutely nothing beyond that area? What about Des Moines with even less to do? Add in the fact that everyone there has the attitude of a Wall Street finance worker obsessed with money and a Los Angeles influencer who feels the need to flaunt their every basic ass daily routine. Their only activities involve getting money and talking about getting more money. And with that money, they do absolutely nothing interesting. Also, they think their country is the most important place in the world. Any modest claim that there isn't much to do compared to neighboring countries always, without exception, results in Singaporeans flooding in and saying>YEAH WELL YOU'RE JUST RACIST AND HATE TO SEE ASIANS WITH MONEY. YOU ONLY GO TO ASIA TO SEE POOR PEOPLEThey simply cannot resist talking about having money. The entire country is built on the idea that it's an Asian country with money, and because they have money, everyone should go and visit so they can see the money that Singaporeans have. It's a pyramid scheme of a country.
>>2849968Don't forget them having rain during the middle of the day. No snow, no happiness, work all day, no apartments, no housing, it's a marketing scheme of a country.
yea idk about Singapore, like it's pretty cool they were able to raise themselves from poverty but annihilating all culture left it pretty sterile methinks
>>2849948oh god here we go again>>Experiences>The fuck do you even experience over here? i live in malaysia. singapore is where i go to see comedy, bands, theatre etc since most of them don't come to malaysia because of the fucking muslims>Most people don't want to speak to you in the first placedon't speak to you, maybe>>Buildings>There aren't any, the one good building is a war memorial, there are no battlefield sites, this country has no historyeh?>>Stores>Food, tech, and a few bars, that's it, no libraries, nothing, it's fucking emptya library is not a store. but if you mean bookstores, singapore has loads. not their fault you didn't find them>>Culture>They use a dialect of English that sounds retardedso do americans>>Chinese>They don't speak Chinese over thereeh?>>Nature>It's a concrete jungleit's a tiny island. but there is a massive nature reserve right in the middle of it. >>Currency>Expensive for zero reason, even the hostels were expensivehostels? ah you're poor. suddenly the problem comes into focus>>Friends>Just head over to Malaysia or Indonesia, people in Singapore are weirdly hostileyes they tend not to like poor parasites>If anybody can tell me about somewhere I could go to over here I'll go therewhat would be the point? you would just say it sucks. >but holy fuck, this country sucksit's not a prison island anon. just go somewhere else
>>2849972this reply proves >>2849968 right, they really have no good defense
>>2849968>They simply cannot resist talking about having money.the same applies to americans, even though most of them actually have nothing. singaporeans are just more direct about it.
>>2849973eh? defence? what the fuck are you talking about? this is 4chan not a fucking courtroom
>>2849974Americans atleast have culture, malaysia anon, singapore has nothing, and a lot of Americans are more interesting than singaporeans.
>>2849977>and a lot of Americans are more interesting than singaporeanspopulation of usa : about 340 millionpopulation of singapore : about 6 millionso yeah i would hope that there are at least a few americans who are more interesting than singaporeans. but based on threads like this i kind of doubt it
>>2849978Malaysia anon we have no idea what places to go to in Singapore
>>2849975OBJECTION. The court of 4chan has ruled, by unaminous jury vote, that OP is guilty of being a faggot to the first degree.
>>2849979well right now you could go to the pac man carnival and play life size pac man and play games at the fairground but yeah if you're a miserably hypercynical cunt with no friends that would kind of suck too
>>2849972It's funny how halfway through this just descends into>You're poor and I have more money than youThat's not interesting or appealing at all.
>>2849979>>2849983or actually given that this is 4chan you would probably enjoy the my little pony display more
>>2849983>>2849985Every country on earth with a GDP over $5000 per capita has these same corporate sponsored activities.
>>2849948I had literally almost the exact opposite of your experience in Singapore.I can imagine it being boring long-term but it's very pleasant and fun to visit for a while.The people were not hostile at all, you must be some retard who gives off hard autist vibes and gets hated on everywhere except third world shitholes where they see you as a walking ATM.
>>2849948>seething about Singapore>poorlike clockwork
>>2849948Made this comic because of how many times I see Singapore threads and how polarizing it is
>>2849994>>2849992>>2849980"the more things change, the more they remain the same"
>>2849983Thanks anon is it free?
>>2849992>anon asks about places to go in singapore>i mention two random things. i dunno i'm not the fucking singapore tourist board>BUT THIS EXISTS ELSEWHERE TOOfucks sake anon do you have to be quite so wilfully autistic
>Y...You don't like Singapore??? What, are you POOR???every fucking timeif it were worth the price, nobody would be complaining. singapore is dull as fuck, especially compared to the neighboring cities/countries.
>>2850002I'd appreciate if someone just made a list of places to go to in Singapore
>>2850003>places to go in shittyporeunironically the airport
>>2850006Sounds like something someone would say if they hadn't ever been there.What in particular is bad about Singapore, in your opinion?
Stayed in Singapore for a few days to top off a backpacking trip through Asia. It's of course very clean, organized, quiet, not too crowded, and fully developed which made it a god send for me after going through India. Food was good and you can eat for SEA prices if you stick to hawker centers. Botanical garden was nice and I liked the old colonial architecture. I stayed in a pretty good quality pod hostel though it was a bit overpriced imho. Overall I think it's an interesting place and it's worth checking out if you're already in the region but I agree with the other anon that it's definitely not worth flying to the other side of the world for.
>>2850009You could always go to the Chinatown food street in Singapore for some next-level food, too.Get this, bro. Singapore's national dish is chicken AND rice! Crazy, I know, but you HAVE to try it. Who would have thought to serve chicken AND rice together? A real culinary treat. You've really got to hand it to them for creating such a unique dish.Seriously though, in many ways, chicken and rice is the perfect national dish to represent singapore. It's bland, dull, and better variations of it can be found in nearly every other country.
>>2850011congratulations anon, you have discovered that peasant food is not necessarily exceptionalhowever, if you are going to be a dick, i will point out singapore had the first street food stalls to be awarded michelin stars, and before you inevitably bitch about michelin stars being expensive/corporate/overrated/whatever else poor people like to bitch about to make themselves feel better, consider that it is the cheapest michelin star food in the world.there are of course a bunch of very good restaurants in singapore for the rest of us. also, i think the best pizza i can ever remember having was in singapore.
>>2849948They have the hottest teens in the world but they are incredibly stuck up. Just wanted to point that out
>>2850014Proof?
