Haha bro, I kena that one also before on a small scale! Just go Tekka area and try buying big items like furniture and stuff and get them to deliver it to your place. They'd want all the payment upfront but will delay the delivery up to 2 weeks. We talking about just one couch here. I can only...

Vietnam is on the right track if they are pushing for more investments from China. Back in the 60's till the 80's Japan used to occupy the position China is in now. Despite the difficult history we had with Japan just 2 decades prior, some of us still developed extensive trade and economic ties...

Say all you want and defend your countrymen for all you want mate, personally I don't give a hoot. Your countrymen, your lack of manners, ultimately it's your problem. When you are in our country, you follow what we do and you adapt, not the other way round. Most Singaporeans are awakening to...

ASEAN too. It has worked out pretty well for us that our leaders fostered better economic ties with the PRC, Japan and the USA.

What you don't understand is that Singaporeans as a whole do not really think or worry much about India due to our limited ties. Whatever impression we have of India, it is going to come from these expats and the minority few who have business dealing with India. And the impression we get on the...

If I tell you a few examples, you would be ROFL. We always do constant upgrading projects of our infrastructure. Be it the busstops, public telephone booths, roads, maintenance is done several times a year, inclusive of repair works. I had one chap from India who actually asked me "What the...

@PakShah and Omar Both you guys said it right! :tup: We are all located right next to or within proximity of the next economic superpower and alot of our money is going to come from increased trade and ties with them. We figured that out back in the 80's and since then we have actively...

LMAO I just did!!! :partay: Oh my god! Is that what u guys really think about your country?!! Totally hilarious! Wake up and smell the coffee pls, forget the West, first try earning the respect of fellow Asians. Why bother looking outside the continent when 1/2 the countries in Asia are still...

I deleted most of the article in the repost due to length and just bolded the part I wanted to draw attention to. I've seen that rising arrogance amongst the Indian expats and guest workers here myself. One actually went so far as to tell me "We are here because Singapore needs us. We are better...

Strict laws mate, strict laws! The law has to do its job, not the people take the law into their own hands. Compare the crime rate in New Delhi to the rates in Beijing, Singapore and Tokyo. All three have way lower crimes against women (and crime rates in general), as compared to Delhi. Yet tell...

LOL it's getting obvious to me that alot of the trolling is initiated by the Indian posters and some of them can get downright rude and nasty as well. No need to drag in Pakistan over this. I don't see why u have to blame the rising gun culture in India on a foreign nation. That's as good as...

LOL most of the comments on that article are downright racist. It doesn't give a good impression. This is Nigeria we are talking about here, and Africa is always known to expel successful Asians time and again. Indians had it alot worse in Uganda, I believe there were other Asian communities in...

Are the facts and statistics given in the article below all true? How is India still able to function with that many problems? Somewhere down the years, you guys are definitely going to need to reinvent yourselves and adopt a more functional model. These problems do not look like they are going...

There's still leprosy in India!?!?

I think we are beginning to see the repercussions here too. Quite a few of their students in universities over here, who pay their own fees are facing a massive pinch. Those who can are switching to part time programs just so they can take on a day job. At this rate, I would hardly be surprised...

Not really mate, if such an event were to occur, we would face setbacks in both ASEAN and China and the effects would most certainly be felt. There is a huge volume of trade going on with India right now. Though I do agree India isn't one of the main trading partners yet for both ASEAN and China...

Yes that was a shame. The Indian government should have intervened on behalf of the Tamils, knowing fully well that these people are related by language, religion and culture to another 70 million Tamils right across the border. I do believe this issue was raised up but Tamilnadu politicians but...

Nanbaa!!!:D Singapore-il yengay irukkaanga? Neenga ingey vantha sollunga, naama kandippa meet pannunom :) Yup SR Nathan was a Tamil too, also all the way bro from the time our Sri Mariamman Temple was built, we've always had a well-integrated Tamil community here. Ippo irukkira India-vei vida...

Ohhh get over it and stop acting like your world is so perfect! First thing that enters our mind over here when we think about travelling to the USA or even Australia is the prevalent gun culture over there. Even if that's a misconception, that idea is still there thanks to a few horror stories...

Thanks for the clarification and info mate :) And yup, I'm Tamil Singaporean. My ancestors came out of Tamil Nadu way back in the 1820's to Singapore. I have read about the Chola kings too :) Tamil is one of the 4 official languages here and its one of the three you can opt to study in school as...
