  1. ikr. what's the point of having so many stuff when you don't have fun with them? Those things are meant to be shared, to be enjoyed, to be used, to bring happiness and smiles to faces of people. They are not meant to be 'baby-ed' and 'overprotected'.

  2. WHO director shuts down an interview with a journalist because he refused to answer any question on Taiwan. Shameful puppet.

  3. Wrong. Japanese don't say anything repulsive about their gay children because the idea of homosexuality, in the traditional Confucian, Buddhist and Shinto sense, is at most an oddity and considered "strange" or "weird". Japanese do not believe in Jesus or Islam and therefore the idea of homosexuality as "repulsive" does not exist in Japanese consciousness.

  4. Everyone here saying Japan is for Japanese only is only saying it because these workers are from poor Asian countries. If it was a documentary about Westerners resettling in Japan, everyone would be like "oooh so cool, he's so handsome and tall" "I want my babies with blue eyes too" and other cringey stuff. You know it. Double-standards.

  5. N Korea was very childish when handling the assassination of fatty's brother. Malaysia doesn't need North Korea to meddle and create trouble on its soil.

  6. I like that he put in effort to learn Singlish. I'm normally skeptical about how SG govt hands out citizenship but if he's been here for over 3 decades I'd say he has earned it.
    142
  7. I don't think you are being fair to HKers here. Anti-mainland Chinese sentiment is not limited to HK. Singaporeans absolutely loathe mainlanders too, the only difference is they are a sovereign state independent from China so the gloves come off and claws come out, no holds barred. Also, mainland Chinese have a bad rep all across Southeast Asia from Manila to Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur to Bali. Recently, a Singaporean woman was racially and viciously attacked by a Japanese man in Hakone because she was mistaken for a mainland Chinese. If you want mainland Chinese to be respected in Hong Kong or in other Asian countries like Korea/Japan then the communist party has to go and they need to revamp their behavior and mindset from the ground up.

  8. A lot of focus placed on Japanese language ability but frankly even if you have N1 level proficiency, if you think living and working in Japan as an Asian foreigner is going to be a bed of roses you will be sorely mistaken. Singaporeans shun Japan for a reason, unless they are there purely for holiday and shopping/eating.

  9.  @bluepurplepink  Spot on. I'm from a wealthy family but because I'm foreign and single they don't allow me to apply for PR.
    111
  10.  @TheBooban  like heavily restricting immigration for more than half a century and counting?
    110
  11. Look at all the names of the accounts spewing hateful remarks (hint: none of them are Japanese and all from a certain very hot and dry region of the world)
    107
  12. BLACKAAROW 50% of Singapore are foreigners. The native Singaporeans are heading towards extinction rapidly. If you go to Singapore, you see more Indians, Chinese, white people and Filipinos than actual Singaporean people. The country is kept afloat by ultra-liberal immigration policy that Japan will NEVER implement over their dead bodies.
    92
  13. Both the Japanese government and even the China Communist government say it is normal. So both countries are brainwashed? Typical dumb Westerner.
    91
  14. MrWalker1000 Western people and Japanese people think very differently. That is why many Westerners come to Japan and are like "Why do they do this?" "Why don't they do that?" Some Japanese, especially men, may be unable to relate to homosexuality and feel it is a little puzzling and strange but otherwise accept it and get on with their lives. This is unlike Westerners where many anti-gay Republican politicians, Catholic pedophile priests and Christian pastors who spew anti-gay hate everyday turn out to be closeted gays themselves. Japanese are not fixated on lynch mobs and witch hunts because they don't believe in Westerner religion. It is hardly the same. That's why Westerners cannot integrate and immigrate to Japan.
    88
  15. Always asking Japan to face history squarely but dare not to face history when it comes to Tiananmen. Hahahaha.

  16. Hey it's kind of like how all their nationals can willy nilly go to Europe and US for vacations but nooope no foreign tourists allowed to enter Japan for 2 years and counting!
    69
  17.  @asianprince8718  There are a few Singaporean military bases situated in Taiwan. China is extremely displeased about that for decades. It is an open secret between the governments.
    62
  18.  @jeffbolton2986  LOL you try living in the Japan countryside first then talk. You think so easy? Most Singaporeans cannot even survive anywhere outside the small little red dot.
    56
  19. they say they want to but no one does anything about it. Compare the number of Chinese and Koreans on the West coast versus the Japanese population. Almost every Asian you meet in the US is Chinese or some kind of Korean-American. How often do you see large numbers of Japanese in the US? Maybe some in Hawaii and that's about it.
    54
  20. way2girly Japanese do not believe in your Western religion. Please don't drag them into it. That is your own belief and point of view. Japanese are fine with their Buddhist and Shinto traditions. Thanks. Japan's social problems stem from aspects of their culture and society, not because your 'God' is missing in them.

  25. Expats earn $66,000 in a single month. $3k is maybe what a white expat spends in 2 days.
    42
  26. Jasmin D I have to agree with grumblekin. Germans and Americans are too arrogant and love to preach progress to Asian countries when it suits their interests. Japan has its good and bad, and both the good and bad result from its insistence to remain traditional and unique. Because of the strict hierarchy and conservatism, white foreigners have been unable to gain a foothold in Japan power structure unlike in Thailand, Singapore and other Asian states where they lord over the locals. Japanese have strong ethnic, racial and national pride because of the homogeneity and the cultural and economic power Japan projects as a unified Asian powerhouse. You have to take the bad with the good. At least Japanese will never be bullied and beaten by foreigners from the Western hemisphere on their own islands.
    41
  27.  @Kash-is-King  I asked my Taiwanese friend about his views of this video - he said most of it is very accurate. The youths are struggling a lot. TSMC is only one company and focused on one industry, it cannot uplift the youths of the entire nation. The country/territory is just oversaturated with graduates and besides National Taiwan University (whose ranking isn't that good either anyway), all other unis there are unknown and the education quality is dubious at best.
    40
  28.  @lannyjr1042  Japan and S Korea better examples for Asia? You got to be kidding me!

  29.  @noseboop4354  7-eleven was completely bought out and it operates as a Japanese entity now with all the systems, product offerings and style completely Japanified though.
    38
  30.  @lannyjr1042  japan is doing the same except it cannot offer the wages and strong currency that Singapore does. Also their obligatory and unpaid overtime is crazy. Japan is doing better in terms of TFR only because the country is vast, has nuclear power and natural resources, abundance of water and land, etc. Skorea has the worst TFR in the world at 0.6 Both Skorea and Japan GDP per capita is about only one third of Singapore.

  31.  @youngz13o  Mr Ng you can be the first Singaporean to renounce your SG passport in favor of a PRC one. Go to the mainland then and polish your Mandarin skills.

  32.  @irritatedanglosaxon1705  the Singapore bases in Taiwan are strongly opposed by China. But Singapore has so far refused all offers from China to relocate the bases in Taiwan to Hainan province

  33. It was a earnest and hardworking young Vietnamese man. Even if his accent was a little off, he is clearly trying his best. Her remark was quite unwarranted. Not like her English accent is any better.
    37
  34. A bunch of Yes Mans and Paper Generals parachuting in. Make no mistake, after another 70% mandate this election, be sure to see more and more CECAs and FTs snatching the ricebowls from your poor sons who had to suffer through NS to see this group of traitors sell their country away. Look at how arrogant and high-handed they behave. Pushing for 10million pop target with more imports of FTs while suing opposition and silencing all dissent. All for million dollar paychecks while locals suffer!
    37
  35. Speak for yourself. We Singaporeans don't need endless apologies. They paid compensation and the case was closed 60 years ago. Time to move on.
    36
  36.  @mostlyguesses8385  if you compare to the third world or WW2 era of course Japan looks good. But if you compare Japan with G7 or G20 or Singapore, it's obvious that the salary for ordinary people is quite pathetic especially with the yen this weak now. Don't get me wrong, it's still a nice, safe, beautiful and homogenous place to live in esp. if you are Asian and Japanese-passing, but along with the earthquakes, racism, xenophobia, low salary, high taxes, stagnant economy, etc, it has significant drawbacks as well.
    36
  37.  @luisiana1121  Unless he looks like some famous and handsome actor like Takeshi Kaneshiro (who is half-Taiwanese) or can whack a tennis ball really good like Naomi Osaka. Otherwise no he just looks like someone who came from Afghanistan with the dark skin and beard. It's not endearing to the locals here.
    36
  38. A Oh there are a lot of different Chinese dialects like Shanghainese, Hokkien, Cantonese. This can affect their Mandarin accent. Like most of the time I cant really understand Hong Kongers' Mandarin accent. Other types of 'Chinese' like Singaporeans, most of their young cant speak Mandarin at all. Taiwanese accent is also quite fast and hard to understand at times.
    35
  39. If you are native Singaporean like her, you would know that there are MANY fake charities in Singapore that have siphoned hundreds of millions of dollars away from the beneficiaries and used them for shady purposes. If she doesn't donate to charity I wouldn't blame her, too many fakes and scam charities in Singapore that exploit the goodwill of the rich.

  44. Oh please, if you think this debt is huge you haven't looked at Japan's. Almost triple of GDP. And Japan's GDP is third largest in the entire world. Imagine the size of THAT debt.

  47. Singapore GDP per capita - 84k USD. Japan/Taiwan/S Korea - 33k USD.
    29
  48.  @mostlyguesses8385  GDP in total size is 3rd in the world but GDP per capita is low in Japan. Even HK and Singapore has much higher GDP per capita, and soon S Korea and Taiwan is going to surpass Japan's figures. Worker pay is also low and stagnant.

  50. I think Japanese conservatism and American conservatism are different. Japan is a rather gay-friendly place while American conservatives are Bible thumpers. Japan is conservative in the anti-immigrant sense not so much anti-LGBT. Trump is also not that conservative seeing as he has made public statements in support of the LGBT community. Trump is also not religious. Trump is more conservative in the nationalistic/patriotic sense i.e. America First.
    27
  51. Wheeler because it means not discriminating people based on how they are born

  52. Nonsense. If you actually live here you will realize their grip on immigration controls has not loosened one bit. Wishful thinking.

  54. ARBAZ QURESHI This is Singapore’s achievement, not Chinese. Well but yes if you want to see China’s achievement, you can look at Hong Kong and Shanghai.
    24
  55.  @MrAtomUniverse  umm there are hardly any Singaporeans in Japan except tourists (I live there) Most average Singaporeans can’t even speak Chinese properly let alone Japanese
    23
  56. KKK G do not ever associate Singapore with China please. Singapore is an independent sovereign state in Southeast Asia. We dont need to be jealous of anyone.

  57. birthrate also following Japan's
    22
  58.  @Oceansta  if you try living here, the endless stacks of forms and paperwork in native level Kanji will kill you. Also, the banking system stuck in 1999. Forms are tailored exclusively for native Japanese and you cannot write any Western names anywhere. What is middle name? Sorry your application is rejected. No credit card or loan for foreign nationals too! Things that take 1 day in Singapore will take 3 months in Japan to process. Good luck if you need a business or professional visa. Also, try renting a good apartment as a foreigner. HAHA!
    22
  59. Real estate is a major problem in most major Asian cities now. Not just China, but also Hong Kong, Singapore, Seoul. Only places with affordable real estate are Taipei and Tokyo now (because low immigration and rapidly shrinking population). The handsome Chinese guy who managed to buy his own place with parents' assistance is really lucky. Nowadays, most people can't do it without the help of rich parents.
    22
  60. people in Japan, especially women, get married when "it is time to do so" not because they actually wanna hang out with the dude. When the dude retires when he's 65, the wife can't stand him being in the house at all. Yea, the men are only expected to come home when they are in their 20s and 30s.
    22
  61. sounds like Singapore tbh - a veritable sinking ship

  62. Gert Tobing hey it's cute and i like that Japanese dont take themselves too seriously unlike in other Asian countries

  65. Because to Japanese, "imin" and "nanmin" are both dirty words, duh. They dislike both.

  66. thekeytomyheart_ Japan issues same-sex partnership certificates in many cities and prefectures which are like de facto Civil unions. Many Japanese MNCs also offer spousal benefits to employees with same-sex partner. It’s not perfect but its leagues ahead of anywhere else in Asia except maybe Taiwan. Oh and everywhere is rainbow-colored during Tokyo Pride. I dont agree with what Trump did to kick transgender out of the military but its a sensitive issue. Gays, bis and les can serve openly though, cant they? Gays can also serve in Japan self defence force openly. You cant do that anywhere else in Asia. In Singapore and especially South Korea, being openly gay in the army is akin to a death sentence. Japan is close-minded about foreigners and immigrants, but homosexuality has existed in Japan and wider East Asia like China and Korea for eons. It was common in the ruling elite/samurai and court officials. It wasnt until all the Bible thumping started that Asians started to jump on the gay hate bandwagon too.

  67. viperzero8501 Stop with the revisionist history. Korea didn't asked to be annexed and Taiwan didn't asked to be passed around. Japan was on a path of military conquest and that's the simple truth. However, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Taiwan benefitted greatly from being developed rapidly as a Japanese colony. Many Taiwanese then and now speak Japanese fluently and were proud to be Imperial soldiers. Today, past victims of Japanese conquest/occupation like Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore are very good friends with Japan. We face the real history head-on and we move on together. There is no need to twist facts and cover-up. ASEAN and Taiwan will be good friends with Japan despite WW2 history. Just face the real history, it doesn't have to be sugar-coated. We in ASEAN are mature enough to handle the real truth. Only China and South Korea are unable to grow up and keep giving Japan shit for WW2.

  69. I'm Southeast Asian but I look fair and look like a East Asian/Chinese to most people. On days where I look Japanese, people greet me cheerfully near my home, service staff are polite, with smiles, people sit next to me on the train. On days where I'm a bit more sloppy and lazy in my dressing, and look like a foreigner/Chinese, I have had people glare at me outright, service staff roll their eyes, and someone said "NIHAO!" at me, and at least 5 times on the train the Japanese standing beside me stared at me with disgust and then exited the train just to board from the other door again.

  74. And yet only China and S Korea can’t stop crying about it. Grow up and stop living in the past. The rest of Asia has moved on. See: Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore/Malaysia
    18
  75.  @slee2695  well to be fair every single Japan topic they interview in Tokyo and not just Tokyo, but downtown Tokyo, in particular, Omotesando and Harajuku. That's like interviewing people at Upper East Side for every single video. Is downtown core of Tokyo representative of all of Japan? Think about it.
    18
  76. Japan says "no thank you" bows politely
    18
  77. It was huge news in Asia but I guess Americans think America is the center of the world
    18
  78.  @intercalz  the world has progressed but India hasn't. The interviewee was probably talking about making more back in California, which is very believable because US has the highest salaries in dollar terms.
    17
  79.  @lannyjr1042  you can compare the exchange rates to Korean Won and JPY. Those are numerical facts. The minimum wage applies to locals there, not foreign trainees who are paid less than the natives. Also there is xenophobia and racism in SK and JP which is a few order of magnitudes worse than Singapore because the former 2 are homogenous societies. No one is “rushing” to go to those countries. (I live in central Tokyo) and anyway J Gov is heavily restricting immigration flows and denying the existence of any immigration policy. Acceptance of refugee is less than 1%.
    17
  80.  @pawala7  of course that’s not the only reason. I graduated from one of the top universities in the world (top 20), work at one of the top corporations in Japan, am a skilled professional with JLPT N1, but immigration will not give me anything more than 1 yr work visas and because of my age it will get harder and harder to find seishain positions in the future. So I cannot qualify for PR unless I marry and impregnate a local. Which is how most Westerners get PR or Long-term resident visas. My family back in my home country is among the top 5% wealth bracket. Of course it is not my own merit but it would be nice to have relaxed PR requirements like through investment or property ownership but Japan doesn’t want golden investor immigrants just white and blue collar work force that can be dispensed with after a few years. Or people who can make hafu children to stem the population decline.
    17
  81. few took up Singapore permanent residency, probably almost none converted to citizenship. almost all left for greener pastures in the west. Singapore was nothing but a back-up plan and stepping stone, as you said, to the HK leavers. Afterall, which Hong Konger wants to give birth to a son in Singapore so that his/her son has to risk his life and limb to serve 2 full years in the Singapore military/armed forces when he could be enjoying life studying in Vancouver or London or Sydney?

  95. I am moving there in a few months. Probably wont stay more than a few years though. Ultimately, Japan is not a country for foreigners or immigrants and thats cool. I respect that. Every sovereign nation has the right to decide on its own policies and type of demographic/culture and workforce that they want.

  96. It's not a "lifestyle", it's a sexual orientation. Malay is not a lifestyle, it's a race. Gay is not a lifestyle, it's part of human sexuality.

  97.  @C1K450  they can open up to other East Asian immigrants. But the thing is - Japanese don't like Chinese or Koreans. They are friendly with Taiwanese on the surface but they can't really distinguish between all the Asian races anyway so that point becomes moot too.
    14
  98. Rena W WW2 is in Japanese textbooks. You can google/web search any WW2 incident in Japan on any search engine. Why can’t Tiananmen be searched on any search engine? Why certain phrases banned? 占点 look like tanks?

  101.  Zoomer Waffen  homosexuality was accepted during the Japanese empire. It was the Western invaders that defeated Japan and forced it to accept homophobia and Christianity.
    13
  102.  @varsoo1  pretty sure Japan’s GDP per capita is lowest in the G7. Anyway, Singapore’s foreign population is 50%, and its GDP per capita is 3.5 times of Japan’s. Of course, the locals are very upset about the state of affairs but the ruling regime’s top priority is massive GDP growth year on year, at all costs so there’s that. The people don’t get a say on immigration. In Japan, they do and they are fine with stagnant wages for 40 yrs. Their country their rules and its their prerogative. Japan is a democracy. It’s not an autocratic regime like China, Singapore and now, Hong Kong too since the handover.
    13
  103. you cannot force people to be proud. It is their right to renounce their allegiance to their territory or country. They have to live with the consequences be it good or bad. China has 1.4 billion people. Even if the whole HK SAR move to England tomorrow, China will not be affected at all. Maybe GDP drop by 2% at most. Just let them go.
    13
  104. lunayen A lot of treated very well in Singapore. They have offdays, shop with friends, have boyfriends, have picnics and drink alcohol together, dress up and go downtown. Heck they even have the audacity to get pregnant while being employed. All my friends have had cases where maids stole thousands of dollars from them including jewelry. I would say they are lucky.
    13
  105.  @maskedbadass6802  Maybe try classifying foreigners into different risk categories? Maybe someone from Africa, India, or impoverished parts of China might do such things but what about professionals from Hong Kong, Singapore, S Korea, Taiwan? It's not good to create a climate when all foreigners are painted with a broad stroke.
    13
  106. I chuckled when he declared loudly "we must stop immigration now!" I'm like What immigration? There's hardly any immigration and immigrants make up about 1% of the entire population.

  107. I think the Korean lady meant that Japanese guys don't like Korean girls, or maybe Japanese guys don't like her. And not the other way round. It's hard to grasp the meaning when she doesn't say the subject and object clearly.
    13
  108.  @lannyjr1042  It is true Singapore is a dictatorship and lacks worker rights. If you said the West or Australia is better for foreign labor I would’ve agreed. But trust me you don’t want to be in SK or JP as a blue-collar worker from a developing country or from China. There is no one more stigmatized than those in Korean or Japanese society. Not to mention the dificulty of the native tongues that even educated Westerners or East Asians struggle with for decades on end and never truly become fluent. As an uneducated migrant, SK and JP society will stifle and extinguish your soul. You don’t need a draconian government like Singapore, or media control to do that, JP society will crush you all on its own with its blatant discrimination and passive aggression. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down (old Japanese saying)
    13
  109. 2 years is barely cutting it. Even East Asians with 5 to 10 years of Japanese language learning and Kanji skills are barely tolerated in Japan, let alone accepted. This is why Japan only has 1% foreign population (most of which are Chinese or Koreans anyway) compared to places like Singapore or Dubai where the foreign population is 50% and above. Salaries in Japan are also abysmally low and stagnant while taxes are very high.

    12
  112. I’m sorry, nothing against Israel (great ally of Singapore), but this Israeli Muslim does not understand Singapore in depth at all. Nothing wrong with that, since 95% of the expats and foreign workers here dont understand the problems and culture of the locals either. They just see the surface, the glitz and glamour, and all of it is engineered to be perceived like that. Just don’t claim you are an expert when you are literally here for a couple of weeks. It’s like him suddenly claiming he is a Korea or Japan guru and understand all the intricacies of East Asian civilization and complex social issues.

  119. except there is no one to pay the collapsing pension fund and the LDP is increasing taxes on pensioners again. Tax keeps increasing across the board and salaries for young people are the same or decreasing after tax/pension/health insurance deductions. Prices are increasing slowly because of inflation. Labor shortage is very severe in almost all industries. See 2024 problem. immigration is a non-starter because the locals are extremely against it even with it at only 2% currently. They won't allow it to rise beyond 3%.

  125. I can see why you made that inference. But in Japan, "bullying by teacher" is really just simple bullying. It doesn't necessarily mean an older male teacher doing sexual things to a teenage male student. In other countries, that is more prevalent. But Japanese have this passive-aggressive way of picking on people or ostracizing them. It takes a mental toll. Happens in the office too.
    11
  126. And then they get married, and the Japanese ladies realize the men dont really have much money, they quarrel and fight in front of their haafu children, get a divorce. Next on the news, you see an Aussie guy arrested for trying to see his estranged kids. And 2 Europeans try to sue the Japanese govt for "child abductions". Where is the Hollywood dream now? Ah yes, so listen to your momma, dont marry a gaijin.

  127.  @FallenSky925  I'm referring to the general sentiments of the populace. There was a loud outcry when Singapore government announced visa free entry for PRC nationals which was accompanied by a massive spike in crime rate in the following months. Also speaking of representation, the PRC actions of vandalizing sacred shrines, infringing on sovereignty Japanese territory and attacks on Japanese school children in China also does not represent or reflect the attitude and beliefs of Singaporean Chinese. People should be held accountable for their own actions and Singaporeans should not have to bear the fallout for the bad reputation of others.

  131. The reason Japan economy sucks is because they refused immigration and foreign professionals to work in their country for 40 years plus. Now their economy is weak, foreign tourists come in (not residents because it's hard to be a resident in their country), they complain again. If they harnessed foreign talents like Hong Kong and Singapore or Dubai they could have immense wealth like other Asian countries. But they decide to close themselves off, and now they are considering closing off to tourism as well, like during Covid. It's a downward spiral because of old stubbornness, xenophobia and backwards thinking. That's why the economy is tanking and the birth rate too. But yes just blame Korea and China, and America, for all your problems!

  137.  @MrAtomUniverse  Tokyo area. Entire population of Singaporeans across Japan nation-wide is extreme low 4 figures. As incompetent as PAP's rule of Singapore is, it still doesn't make Japan a viable place for Singaporeans to escape to. Most go to places like Australia, NZ, Canada, US/UK, etc. Less well-off ones maybe can run to Msia, Thailand, Vietnam, etc. Hardly any ever consider Japan due to a wide range of deep-rooted issues and high barriers. Same reason why there are hardly any Westerners or Indians in Japan that aren't stuck in crappy jobs like "English teacher".

  139. Japan immigration is becoming stricter by the year and tightening. Work visas take a long time to get, and even if granted, is on short-term basis, after you submit like 50 pages of documents or more. Refugee applications are rejected en mass. PR and naturalization take up to 2 years to get approved, and more than 10 years of clean record is needed for PR unless you marry a native. Government introduced new law to revoke foreigners PR, making PR even more worthless. It is clear Japan does not want any immigrants to stay, just temporary workers. They are introducing new worker visa categories but they are all limited to short term and only for Southeast Asians like Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, etc. Usually by the fifth year, they want you go to home.

  165.  @DemonFox369  Westerners don't know about his dodgy background. The tabloids in Japan are even labelling him a criminal. His mother is a black widow, targeting rich old Japanese guys for huge sums of cash like her ex-fiance. It is rumored his mother psychologically tormented his father to suicide when he was in elementary school. His studies in New York over 3 years were covered under scholarship at the urging of the imperial family, aka tax payers monies. His studies in Japan are at the cost of 40k USD debt. Despite that, he failed to graduate in New York law school due to lack of credits. To add on to his troubles, he failed the New York bar. His apartment costs in Shibuya and in Manhattan are all borne by tax payers. His private security and transport all provided by the Imperial Household Agency. He's the biggest male gold digger in Japanese imperial history. It's a stain on Japan's Imperial legacy. Shameful.

  167. Congrats to all the ones who managed to get it. They have made PR super super hard to get, takes a super long time to apply for and then another eternity to process, tons of endless paperwork, convoluted process, local guarantor etc. The points system helps but not everyone makes enough or is young enough like that Canadian guy. 70 pts or 80pts is not something everyone can get and not everyone has 12 years to wait if they can't get the points. Personally I'm out of here soon although I own multiple houses in Tokyo and have N1 and a white-collar job (I'm rich but they don't need obscenely rich people moving in and staying, they need young people and people who earn a lot at their jobs so they can tax them 45% of their incomes, plus inheritance) If you're a looker maybe you can snag a local wife or something but again it's not an option for many people too.

  170. Same. I get mistaken for a Chinese all the time. I have to speak Mandarin with my Taiwanese friends though because they don't speak English. Nowadays I stopped caring what the Japanese think about me. The locals can be quite cold and rude though. Whatever. They never asked me if I was Singaporean or not anyway. Only one time in Hokkaido the staff was quite rude and asked me where I was born I said Singapore and she was finally stumped. Everyone just makes the worst assumptions. Anyway I stopped giving a F. Nothing will rob me of my Singaporean blood. That is a fact. Singaporean now and forever.

There are things that the Singapore government has done well, but to overexaggerate and glorify needlessly, saying its “almost perfect” comes across as uninformed, insincere, patronising and opportunistic. Insulting critics and calling them crybabies is also not a humble attitude. It reeks of pettiness, overly defensive and toxic. I have nothing against Israel. They have suffered through a lot. But please dont come to Asia and act like suddenly you are an expert on Asian matters. Do you think Singapore became like this overnight? How many of our local people are suffering? We dont have rockets falling on our heads, but do kids in USA and Israel jump off 30 floors because they failed a Maths test? Do USA/Israel people face retrenchment and replaced by foreigners at their workplaces? Do they overwork like 60-80 hours a week? Yup, keep silent on these issues Nas. Just say what your masters want to hear.

I'm Singaporean and I fully support Taiwanese independence and all my Taiwanese friends. Independence is always better. You can still remain friends even if Taiwan is formally independent. In fact, your relationship will improve. Malaysia and Singapore had a strained unhappy union. Tensions relaxed and things improved after they officially separated. If not, we might have had a civil war by now.

  230. Singaporeans’ tolerance and magnanimity is being tested to its limits with a 50% foreign population presence and increasing annually.

  250.  @jiaweike3518  Japan is not overcrowded at all. Take the Shinkansen and see how vast the landmass of Japan is. Overcrowded is like Hong Kong or Singapore with people everywhere packed to the brim 24/7 with no space to move or breath, traffic clogging up every single road and accidents happening all the time. People fighting and screaming because of high stress and excessive competition and cost of living with inflation triple or 5 times higher than Japan.

Even for S Korea. White guys in their mid to late 20s look like they have 3 kids and married already. Maybe because Westerners have towering physiques, full beards and hairy bodies? They also gain muscle and fat a lot faster and deep-set facial structures causes wrinkles and lines to deepen. Asian men have smoother and more baby-face.

Not by law but by the shared Japanese culture which will ostracize any who do not conform. Therefore, Japan has no need to implement draconian laws like Singapore. The Japanese sense of shame and honor will do the work itself.

They take advantage of the kindness of their employers and steal a ton of jewelry and cash. These are stories I witness and heard as a local/native! Of course the foreigners keep defending their own kind. Refusing to do any critical thinking. I am not saying maid abuse is ok. I am saying it is exaggerated by the media while the media censors all the numerous and common cases of maid thefts. By the way, there are many cases of maids beating the kids and the elderly of the employers. Sometimes the victims die and the maid is charged with murder. What say you to these cases? Always two sides to a story. Stop being biased. Moron.

However, that said, those mainlanders from that obscure corner of China have the most unintelligible and obscure Mandarin accents ever, especially that granny on the train. Taiwanese Mandarin accent is still the clearest and most standard.

If you can't do it here you can't do it in any other Asian country. Every other Asian country is at least twice or thrice more expensive than Japan. (I'm referring to developed Asian economies not Southeast Asian developing countries) Problem is while Japan is cheap, so are their wages.

  284. Matthews Gaming Zone i dont think majority of Chinese guys are feminine. They may appear like that to non-Asians because Asians generally age a lot slower and are pale, so they retain a very boyish youthful look, even into their 30s. They also tend to be slimmer and of slight build. China has been very aggressive militarily, compared to Japan where the army is all but disbanded. It is worrying when the guys retreat into anime and fashion i.e. nerdy dorky things or girly interests. Thats where u get all the skinny af guys with very long colored hair and with make-up on. Some k-pop idols look girly but the Korean soldiers and bodybuilders look very masculine though.

  285.  @fungo6631  ok my bad. If that’s the case, that’s even worse. Chinese get treated the worst in Japan. And you don’t even have to be Chinese for that to happen.

  325. Pinoy Adobo usually i hear many cases the police are called but the agency try to downplay the incident and quietly send the maids back to their countries or change employer. Many times the thousands of dollars in cash and jewelry cannot be found. No one reports such cases in the news but it is very very common. All my friends lost so much cash to maid thiefs. But the media only like to focus on maid abuse case and make employers look evil and bad.
    4
  326. Pinoy Adobo dont you see how hypocritical you are with your double-standards? You wish justice to prevail but you are happy that the thieving maids escape scot-free to their home countries. The only reason maid thiefs escape justice is because the employer have no time for a long court case over a few hundred stolen dollars when they earn 100k Singapore dollars in a month easily. 500 US dollars or less is like a maid's monthly salary only compared to wealthy Singaporean families of 60k to 100k per month. For big figure like few thousand dollars stolen or branded bag like Hermes or LV, or diamond rings missing, the maid goes to jail for years. By the way, maid thieves far outnumber maid abusers. Theft happens everyday or every week but maid abuse only a few cases per year. Of course you Filipinos like to cover your crimes of your fellow maids but only exaggerate the abuse cases! Yes I hope justice to prevail too. All thieves should be thrown into prison. Be thankful because in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE Dubai they cut off the maids hands!

  331. Amuro Ray why would racist whites escape to Japan when the whole of Japan is non-white? As an Asian non-Japanese I can never understand this logic. I mean if you were Chinese or Taiwanese or Korean escaping to Japan to escape from other races I could somewhat understand it because Asians can camouflage to a certain degree but whites stand out like a sore thumb. Whites will never form part of the Japanese Asian majority in the social power structure of Japan. So what is the point? They should go to Germany instead.

They will demand halal food, prayer time, or for westerners, alcohol drinking time during office working hours. Japanese will become sidelined. Soon, they will fire Japanese workers in their own country. Essentially, this is what has happened in Singapore and to an extent, Western Europe. Globalization is the bane of modern civilization.

  393. I’m sorry but all the salaries stated in this video are laughably pathetic considering how many hours and abuse these foreigners put up with. Foreign workers earn so much more in Hong Kong and Singapore and you don’t even need to learn a highly complex language like Japanese to JLPT N2 and N1 levels and 1500 Kanji characters. This is especially challenging for non-Chinese/Taiwanese foreigners who don’t know Kanji.

  394. Singaporeans rejoice! Finally our 2 worst enemies are offing each other. Say no to 10 million population! NO MORE CECA and OBOR initiatives!

  395. @Velle non discitur China and North Korea are also homogenous but you don’t hear a single Western rightwinger singing praises about how “strong” or “mighty” they are. Westerners have an agenda when it comes to Japan. Singapore is very unhomogenous and yet it is the richest country in the whole of Asia. How strong or wealthy a country is has nothing to do with homogeneity or lackof. Its the quality of people you take in. Japan had its chance of assimilating high quality Asians but their ego got the better of them and now that boat has sailed.

  398. Jorge I am not Taiwanese but I appreciate the sentiment. Yes, Taiwan is a wonderful lovely COUNTRY (yes, I did this to trigger the communists hehe), filled with beautiful lovely friendly people. The true civilized heirs of ancient Chinese culture and civilization, all but lost thanks to corrupted and greedy backstabbing UN and WHO. Singapore has money but not much else when compared to the likes of Japan and Taiwan, sad to say. Just a playground for the rich and the foreign expatriates looking for a good time and good money.

  400. grey momo There are tons of Europeans in Asia. I lived in Tokyo, Taipei, Singapore. The Westerners legit looked 10-15 years older than their actual age. We had lots of exchange students in university. They looked like working adults compared to the Asian students. The high school kids looked like college kids. The college kids looked like working adults. The working adults looked like married with 3 kids! This is how my fellow Asians viewed Westerners. But despite Westerners looking old, many local Asian girls still flock to them. They are very popular. Maybe because people think Europeans are very rich in Asia compared to Japanese men. Of course you can disagree, but most Asians think Westerners age way too fast compared to us East Asians.

  403. Jon Singham moving here doesnt mean much. Jim Rogers moved here, so did the Facebook Co-founder. But they live in their fancy expat bubbles and high up in their gilded ivory towers. Already a property leasing company has offered to sponsor 2 months of his rental capped at a max amount of 5k sgd/mth. How many locals can afford a fancy condo in Districts 9/10/11 at that price points? Already from this video he seemed intimidated but the rigorous education system we put our kids through. How integrated will he be when hes living here? I do not discount the suffering and hardship of Israelis. They are a touch bunch. But likewise he should not discount the suffering of local Singaporeans. We may not have rockets dropping on our heads, but Singapore was not built overnight. The locals paid a high price and even now they and their offsprings are suffering immensely. I do not think American or Israeli kids committing suicide over failing Primary/Secondary tests is a norm like it is here. Or their parents facing retrenchment and replaced by “Foreign talents”. Or homosexuals being labelled as criminals. The list is endless. If he wants to keep to being a traveller/tourist, thats fine, but he is crossing the political/geopolitical lines here and wading into domestic affairs. As a foreigner putting his nose where it doesnt belong, and inserting his biased opinions, belittling locals, that is not welcome in out domestic sphere.
    3
  404. Jon Singham no problem, you too. I was initially quite positive/neutral towards Nas but as the controversies evolved I began to see more and more of the “arrogant expat” hallmarks emerging in him. But since you gave a balanced and objective assessment of him, I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he’s not coming from a place of ill intent or malice. I suppose our country can play the part of a gracious host during his stay here, and give him a chance to contribute meaningfully through his work. Thanks.

  405. Jacquelin Sainte I have seen Japanese women in their 40s that look more youthful than Western women in their late 20s. Maybe because Japanese/Asian women are petite and very slim and short too? And yes, rice, fish and lots of veggies! And sunblock and conditioner and cream. Lots of it!

  406. since when our dear leaders ever practiced what they preached?

  407. Val K I made that comment with reference to the particular situation of Singapore for the last 2-3 decades. When the country is run like a company, the top leaders are only concerned with profits, GDP growth and their bonuses/salaries etc., like how company CEOs are. But a country is more than that. What about the national culture, language, the welfare and livelihood of the natives/locals? In Singapore’s case, in order to artificially inflate GDP numbers and boost the economy, the government resorted to ultra-liberal immigration and employment policies, causing the population to double in less than 20-30 years. Locals are disadvantaged in the job market, replaced by cheaper foreigners or foreigners who are hired by managers of their same nationality. Tax incentives, permanent residency and even citizenships are handed out freely to foreigners, literally giving them the red carpet. Look at Japan for the direct opposite of Singapore. Japan is a country that protects the locals and not sell out to foreigners. The Prime minister is not supposed to behave like a CEO where they hire and fire, replacing the indigenous population with foreign parasites.

  410. HK despises Singapore and looks down on it, because it is their rival financial hub, equally rich but not under the shackles of the CCP. Even without the CCP though, Singapore is ruled under an iron first, and Hong Kongers will not relinquish their freedom of speech for anything to live in a foreign land and having to obey a foreign dictatorship. So nope, Singapore off the list.
    3
  411. Even Asian immigrants to Japan are not marrying or settling down. Chinese, Koreans, Taiwanese, facing daily racial discrimination, same working condition and low pay as native Japanese. Same hobbies like anime and gaming, alcohol and vices. They got used to the Japan life and stay single like Japanese too. Most Japanese also hate other Asians so they don't intermarry much (not saying it doesn't happen). So they either save up and go back to their homeland or just work forever and die in Japan like the locals do. Southeast Asians are too poor to start a family and Japan immigration hunts them down like a hawk to deport them after 5 years of using them for cheap labor. Therefore Japan remains 99% Japanese/East Asian races with a bunch of Westerner English teachers and a tiny portion of skilled expats in the multinationals, finance industry and diplomatic corps.
    3
  412. Pokeman Paul 1% LOL rubbish. Official statistics put it at 44% including PRs. The actual figure on the ground is closer to 50% though. When I say Chinese I mean mainland Chinese. They are different from Straits born Chinese ie Malaysian and Singaporean. Just like how Taiwanese is different from Chinese.

Japanese just do not want to deal with foreigners, aka Gaijin. There are some sex businesses that accept foreigners, but you need to have to do some research and homework to find them. Im not sure if they distinguish by nationality. I think some turn a blind eye if you appear Japanese enough like if you're Taiwanese or Asian and dont look too shabby or sloppy. If you're a huge white or black guy maybe some shops get intimidated or wary.

  455. No one asked you Westerners to take in muslim extremists and islamists. You did it to yourselves. Japan could absorb all the wealthy and educated Asians from South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore (who do not believe in Islam). Helps that most of them can already read the Kanji script that Japanese people use and look similar enough (from a distance). If you hold onto a religious belief with fanatical zeal, you cannot adopt the customs and culture of the host country easily. You would sooner strap yourself to a bomb or riot at the slightest provocation.

  458. Honestly, it's better to interview Singaporeans on mundane day-to-day issues like cost of living, wages, COE, ERP, HDB, BTO than to challenge them on difficult political current affairs and global issues. US-China relationship, Taiwan independence, etc, leave this to the Foreign Ministry officials to answer...Singaporeans are not taught to question authority and political matters in school, hence the lack of depth and eloquence in the replies. They tried their best though.

  459. @ that’s not true. Singapore Indians and India Indians do not get along because of the famous caste system mentality. In fact, they don’t even speak the same language because of North and South India regional differences. You are saying this because you just want HK and SG to agree with you mainlanders. The shallow people in the West you referenced also say things like nihao etc to Japanese and Korean people. But we Asians are smarter than that.

I think Thailand should avoid that future or it won’t be a Land of Smiles any longer. More like Land of Frowns like Singapore.

  472. Agreed. Its better to find a local sweetheart in your own country before going to Japan. Japan is great for work stints, further studies, tourism and shopping. Or even just for nightlife and naughty fun. But it's not really an ideal place to build a legit family and nest. It might have been appealing many 20 years ago, it's losing its appeal now.

There is also the controversy of him not being able to graduate from the New York Juris doc program despite claims that he did so. The university did not publish his name among their graduates.

  518. Coca Koala Please, Singapore police is useless. Their guns are for show and they run away from foreign mobs. They cannot act without writing a mountain of paperwork and reports first. By then the foreign mob and rioters have already done 3 hours of looting and destruction of property. They are crazy fast in arresting political dissenters or opposition of the regime though. If you need a model, check out Japanese police and how they catch illegal immigrants in Japan and deal with drunk rowdy gaijin. Cops that actually do their damn jobs. Respect. That’s why Tokyo is so neat and safe and without dangerous foreigners prowling the streets.

  523. Tianyao Zhang Madison and NYC are right. They are not saying every single mainland Chinese in the absolute sense but a overwhelming majority such that it forms a solid stereotype that is hard to dispel in all countries of the world such that even the CCP acknowledged it and took official action like a travel handbook and tourist blacklist. Mainland chinese destroy the toilets in Thai temples, sit on Japan cherry blossom tree branch and break them, pee/shit/spit on the streets and carpets of hong kong and singapore, cut queues in hong kong and shanghai disneyland, and countless other horrific acts. Sure, the privileged elite with both class, education and wealth who are fluent in English, well-travelled do not behave like uncivilized animals from some rural Chinese village but these are few and a small minority. And these are the people who might return to China someday and be at the top levels of power. Instead of defending your people's unacceptable actions and getting so sensitive and butthurt, please reflect on why all Asian countries hate China people and think of concrete measures to tackle the negative stereotypes. The more you deflect, downplay and attack non-mainland Chinese for voicing their side of the story the more of a disfavor you do to mainland Chinese because we just feel that you guys are unrepentant, arrogant, insensitive and unreasonable. Use your privilege, education, and access to real internet to do some change and introspection instead of being like a paid CCP troll. Actually even CCP official is better because they officially recognize Chinese bad behavior and published a handbook on proper civilized tourist behavior.
    2
  524. Madison Sweeney Don't worry, even the great almighty CCP government officially states it is true and published a tourist handbook on proper behavior. If the great CCP says it is true, means all mainland Chinese like Tianyao must acknowledge it is true or be branded an anti-revolutionist traitor and get her organs harvested like the Fa Lun Gong practitioners.
    2
  525. Tianyao Zhang Being intolerant of intolerance is not intolerance, just as calling out and criticizing uncivilized behavior does not make one uncivilized. Abt your point on only older mainlanders behaving badly is not totally true because there was reports on a young Chinese guy who vandalized a pyramid in Egypt and refused to apologise. There were also young Chinese domestic tourists who posed disrespectfully with statues of Communist revolutionary heroes. The bad habits and "i do whatever i want" mindset of the Chinese passed from one generation to another. However, I do concede that the younger generation are slightly better behaved and things are improving very slowly. There is still a long way to go and the attitude must change. Instead of a victim mindset and " the evil West and their colonial dogs HK, TW and Singapore against the Great Motherland" , try to improve standards and join the international community. Japan and Korea can behave, why can't China? Or some CCP puppets going to say Japan and Korea are Western vassal states as well?
    2
  526. Tianyao Zhang so you are saying organ harvesting doesnt happen in China? And I'm referring to your comment about mainlanders being in US universities. Having a high IQ which translates to good grades on paper does not necessarily mean a high EQ. Hence, the inability to function and behave properly in foreign countries. Secondly, I didn't resort to name-calling or insults. I am merely calling a spade a spade. Hence, uncivilized people will be called uncivilized, period. Clearly, you are unable to put aside your nationalistic pride to see reality for what it truly is. So much for a Western education, eh? Might as well just study at Bei Da or Tsinghua.

But he failed and if he fails again he might be given the sack or see his salary drop to 60k per annum as a paralegal or law clerk. At that pay grade he couldn't possibly support their lavish royal lifestyle. Either Kako sends her sister money discreetly out of her own finances and paycheck or the IHA is secretly funding their spending in Shibuya till they leave for NY. There is also the question of private security in NY (honestly it isn't the safest place for Asian-looking people during this Covid times who get beaten or even killed due to hatecrime). Who is paying for that? Not the NY police dept for sure.

It's the same in Asia, especially for nationalist and right-wing countries like Japan. "We need more immigrants!" said literally no Asian person ever but governments be like "moar immigrants!!!!111 muh GDP growth~!" It's a political circus. More and more countries are turning inwards but governments remain tone deaf and just want to line their pockets.

Japan has the luxury of resisting immigration but it's becoming increasingly untenable now that the economy and currency is collapsing along with their demographics (too many old people everywhere you turn).

  618. Edward I do agree with the spirit of his message, but he has logical flaws I think needs pointing out. Whether Yamato Japanese is 127million like today or 80million as he forecasted, they still form the super-majority of 99% of the population. Contrast that with 45% foreigners in Singapore which has already stressed the country's infrastructure and fractured society. What Japan needs to do is not to eliminate all the hafus and the 1% of immigrants as suggested by Sakai-san, but to incorporate hafus as Yamato to boost overall Yamato hegemony, not alienate hafus. Second, they should boost Japanese fertility rate, aka have more babies. Lastly, Japan should only source immigrants from its former colonies, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Korea to ensure racial purity. What is are witnessing now is more Africans and Caucasians than Asian migrants in Japan. Sakai san's approach is very misguided.

  635. Eric Xu it is not a violation of human rights because human rights does not specify that a citizen of a certain country have full rights to travel to any sovereign state on Earth as they wish. That is to say, if you dont want to give info on your social media account, you dont have to. No one is kidnapping you and pointing gun at your head and saying “tell me your facebook or weibo account now!” You just dont get a US visa. Will you starve? Will u go to jail? NO! That’s why its not human rights violation. Human rights violation is like harvesting organs from Fa Lun Gong practitioners or jailing political dissidents of the CCP.
    2
  636. Eric Xu what is your point? The Constitution does not state anyone can travel to the USA freely. All sovereign states have full right to refuse entry to any foreigner. All sovereign nations have an Immigration department that has full authority to exercise border control.

  658.  @hermitpurple3  Japan is the only G7 country to not have something as simple as separate surnames for married couples and also the only G7 country without same-sex unions. The latter is controversial but surely the former shouldn't be taking 20 to 30 years+ to discuss?! And Japan is also the only G7 country to have not revised the constitution since WWII. In comparison, Singapore has had more than 30 constitutional amendments since its independence. I don't think this is a healthy development. The Japan of the past was a rising dynamic power from feudalism to the Meiji Restoration, rivaling Western powers, and then the economic miracle after WWII. Today, it can't even effect the most administrative of changes, bound by decades-old redtape, inertia and resistance to any change. It is paralyzed, dominated by old folks and stubborn and still seeing itself as the preeminent Asian power. Yes, China is unpopular among Southeast Asian nations but we can't feel confident about Japan's future either. Thank you for sharing your native perspective though!

  659. @ how is NOT having separate surnames “moral”? What is so moral about? How does allowing women to keep their surnames after marriage threatening safety and security and public order? Yes I know Japan maintains harmony through conformity and social pressure/norms rather than strict laws. But laws are still important in any society and laws need to be updated from time to time. The fact is Japan is becoming ossified and fossilized if they refuse to implement any changes not just in law, but other government policy and business, etc. The demographics and economy, productivity and innovation etc. will only continue to tank. Already GDP per capita is less than S Korea, Taiwan, and about only one third of Singapore. Total GDP drop below Germany and California and next year, India.

  660. @ sorry I misunderstood. No I only visited America once as a tourist. Not really a fan. I prefer Asian societies (except China). Japan and Singapore are more similar in that sense but where there are differences, the differences tend to be 180 degrees. After working in Tokyo for many years, I will probably retire in Thailand or somewhere in Southeast Asia. I wish Japan all the best in the years ahead.

  669. Yes it's all very quaint and cute and novel as a tourist. Not so fun once you try living here as a foreigner and get stonewalled everywhere you turn because "we are Japanese and you are a gaijin. This is Japan and this is traditional Japanese way". Also not fun if you are trying to hustle and earn a living instead of fawning and marvelling at all these "tradition" as if you are strolling inside a country-sized museum.

Yes, not all Japanese hate Westerners and the commercial was probably not meant as offensive towards Westerners.

There was no outcry on the mainland when Taiwan went ahead to legalize gay marriage. In fact, I saw the state media congratulating Taiwan "region" for the milestone. If it were Singapore instead, there would be very angry criticisms and outcry, attacking the Taiwan govt for days and weeks. Homosexuality is strictly illegal in Singapore. (Homosexuality itself and not gay marriage btw)

There are many media in the world, like in Southeast Asia (except Thailand), and Korean TV and media which censor all gay people or any lgbt topic. So how does the media influence people to become gay? Whose are the gays’ parents? They are all straight. So being gay is definitely passed biologically/hereditary from heterosexual parents! It is not learned from media!

Ulquiorra Cifer it is a carry over from ancient times, during the Chinese dynasties, eg Tang dynasty, because under Confucius teachings, teachers, or sages and wise men, hold high status in society because under their tutelage, you can pass the imperial scholar examinations and become a court official. Once you get into the palace, you and your parents are set for life. Therefore, teachers and doctors held high esteem in ancient Japan. The Kanji words stayed the same till modern times. Japanese rarely change their tradition.

  812. Arminius Just because Singapore is friendly with Japan doesnt mean we forgot our roots. We remember how Mao killed millions of Chinese and how they destroyed Chinese culture through the Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward. Singapore is a sovereign state. We are free to choose our allies and our enemies. China seized Singapore military assets that were enroute from Taiwan to Singapore. China plant spies in Singapore. Do you think we will forget? How many Chinese murdered Singapore people since year 2000. All on the news. Why Singapore and Taiwan look up to Japanese? They are polite, civilized and cooperative. They do not pee and shit on the streets and yell at us, unlike Communist Chinese. If China wants to win respect, it must learn to behave and change its vulgar image.

  813. Arminius So you are mainland Chinese, of course you side with CCP propaganda. Mainland Chinese come to Singapore and commit brutal crimes like robbery and murder against Singaporean Chinese. Clear enough for you? Singapore does not forget Japan’s wrongdoings to us. But Japan changed and apologised and paid compensation to Singapore. We cooperate economically and after a few decades, we bury the past unhappiness. Can Singapore forgive China? That is up to China from now on, whether they improve themselves and improve the bilateral relationship.

  814. Arminius If you are Singaporean then you should be siding with our country and not the mainlanders. You havent been reading the news then. They are responsible for many violent crimes against Singaporeans. China is improving but still a long way to go. And yet they keep stirring trouble. Such behaviour will not earn any respect.

  815. Arminius By the way, you are obviously a Chinaman. Only a Chinaman calls China “motherland”. Who cares if Singapore is small? We have pride and yes we are unique and dont like to be associated with your 1.4 billion whatever. And yes, people do view Singaporeans differently from mainland Chinese. Even Hong Kongers and Taiwanese are viewed differently. Your attitude is exactly why people hate mainland Chinese.

Japan is by and large a xenophobic society on the whole. He is merely reflecting that reality. I'm Asian and I spent years and years learning their language. Still, sometimes I stand out and I cannot integrate seamlessly like a native. Imagine being black or white and standing at least 30cm taller than all other Japanese / Chinese people and looking radically different and not having a high command of their native language. Sure, I saw many white guys paired with Japanese girls especially in the core downtown areas. But will these relationship all end up in marriage and last long term? And I have never seen a Japanese man with a white woman, EVER. Many WMAF but not the other way round.

A highly paid female taiwanese was in the news for scratching, screaming and kicking an indian condo security guard. She worked in finance. Another female taiwanese work 2 yrs in tokyo, cannot withstand the racism from the japs, and moved to singapore. Her condo unit rental itself is 6k sgd in river valley. But these are exceptions.

  962.  @viviankate7240  Singlish is a unique language on its own. Msian Chinese can pick it up easier but its different from anything in Malaysia and non-Msian foreigners are almost never able to learn it. Dialects have effectively been eradicated by decades of PAP rule. Singaporeans are terrible at Mandarin, the younger they are, the worse they are at it. Malay is only spoken mostly by Singaporean Malays. Therefore that leaves only English and Singlish as the predominant languages of modern Singaporeans. This is what enables the large Singaporean diaspora in the Commonwealth nations and the US. On the flipside, Singaporeans do very poorly in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, HK, etc. The problem of governance in Msia is not due to size of the country. It's the corruption and the race-centric policies. Japan, Taiwan, Korea, etc are similarly-sized as Malaysia and they are not that badly run (arguably Japan is on the decline though), so it's not the size of the country, it's the quality of the people. The best talents of Malaysia already ran to Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, US, etc.

Cultural attractiveness, yes - but you will only get rich old white tourists and no young workers to do the work. Industries and regional economies will get shuttered one by one until all you have left are shrines and temples for all the "culture" you want. Even work visas are hard to get now and renewals are strictly scrutinized. Unless you marry a local woman/man, also say goodbye to any chances of PR unless you are prepared to slog for upwards of a decade and even then no guarantee of approval.

  970.  @anonanon7822  except "evacuee" implies a temporary measure. Japan doesn't accept refugees and they didn't want to change the refugee law just to accommodate Ukraine so they came up with a new category called "evacuee". Whether or not your thousands of compatriots can stay after the war remains to be seen. It all hinges on your visa status.

If you are poor, from a poor country or dont have high education, high japanese skills or high salary, or special research activities, it’s hard. Refugee route yes but Japan will look hypocritical if they deny 99% of refugee application but award 100% just to Ukraine. Work visa yes but you need over 10 years on that before you can even be considered for PR. So long story short: only good for HSP people which I can’t imagine will be too many of those.

I don’t find Japan a friendly place for foreigners after all and i don’t think it’s worth it to stay longterm or permanently. However I can see how it might be different for people from less stable circumstances.

But his family may not adjust to the culture shock, crowds, language barrier, throngs of foreigners everywhere, and of course the searing heat year round and lack of seasons. Traffic can also be quite deadly. Schooling for expats' kids will also be very very costly.

  987.  @tangt4860  Singapore is perfect for upper-class rich locals and foreign talents. Everywhere else is extremely mediocre, for example, Japan, Taiwan, China, or even South Korea (for the elite Singaporean upper class of society.) Very low salaries, high taxes, insular societies, inefficient and corrupt governments. BUT the problem comes when you are a nobody poor HDB-dwelling PAP-voting commoner Singaporean. In this case, many other places will start to look nicer. If you are suffering in Singapore with lousy pay why not suffer in Japan (equally lousy pay) with the 4 seasons, nice cooling weather, big national territory and cheaper cost of living for everything from cars to houses to groceries. That's why the average Joes try their best to leave while the rich elites stay put and pay 114k for COE for their 4th car in their bungalows. However, the average Singaporeans is terrible at foreign languages so they can only go to Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Malaysia or Australia, UK/US, Canada, NZ. Commoner class cannot survive in Korea/Japan, European nations because of language hurdle.

  988.  @mixtapemania6769  they are vastly different only because of communist ideology. Take that away and they aren’t that different compared to non-Asian peoples. Koreans, yes, and they should also assimilate more Taiwanese and Hong Kongers. I mean if they want to be picky about immigrants then there aren’t many to choose from especially after you exclude mainland China. Also, all these Asian countries, even China, are experiencing even lower birthrates than Japan. Soon, even they cannot supply anymore labor to Japan and need to keep all their own people within their borders instead of letting them relocate to Japan.

All the other legislation are for show to appease businesses. And if you live here you will encounter hostile attitudes and passive aggressive racial profiling and discrimination at every turn. No one is going to liberalize immigration here, if any politician values his career or his life.

  994. 100 years ago is not 2023. The rest of the world is in 2023 - you cannot compete with them with standards based on a whole century prior. If you don't compete, you lose to China, to Korea, to Taiwan, to Hong Kong and to Singapore. And these are not even G7 nations. If you factor in the EU and the US, things are much more grim. Look at the yen vs the Singapore dollar now. Barely 5 or 10 years ago, the yen was almost twice as strong, now it's weaker than SGD and it's 1 USD to 140 yen now. All the investment and money are flowing to other Asian hubs while Japan is content to turn in on itself and stick its head in the sand.

Entry into Singapore is not an automatic right. Just as Singapore has the right to refuse you entry, you as an individual have the right not to choose to come here. Your embassy cannot intervene as technically you were stopped at the borders and not allowed into the country’s territory yet. But ok continue being a bitter petulant child.

  1001.  @KnotsOfWonders  Singaporeans place emphasis on mathematics and hard sciences. The education, government, and higher education systems and all aspects of life are heavily centred on English (specifically the British style English). Add in the local dialect/version of English - Singlish, meaning vast majority of Singaporeans are only proficient in standard English with a British colonial slant or localized Singlish. Perception of China is very negative in Singapore so young people never put effort in learning Chinese which they deem irrelevant and not useful for their lives or careers. Chinese is also very difficult for most average Singaporean youths. Korean and Japanese are even harder and far more alien. The end result is Singaporeans cannot survive in any East Asian environment. Most migrate to Australia, US, UK, Canada or Malaysia.

  1003. @ money laundering, beggar syndicates, scam syndicates, the spate of house breaking, the list is endless. The incumbent claimed the arrest rate has remained stable but arrest rate is different from incidence rate so they are just playing with semantics and obscuring the stats. Also, I think Singaporeans have been extremely generous and welcoming already and said group is making up majority of new PRs and citizens. If you can read Japanese on twitter or threads, what they have said about that group makes my commentary extremely mild. Then you will know true xenophobia. Seeing as Singaporeans make up one of the largest groups of tourist visitors to Japan, I’m only concerned about the safety of our fellow citizens to not be targetted or blamed for the wrongful acts of a foreign hostile nation which we are in no way related or responsible for.

  1021. @ even if Japan does not enforce it actively or strictly, I heard that they are only lenient to hafus or people born with the dual nationality (like Naomi Osaka). For full gaijin like me, they will be strict. And let’s assume even if Japan is lenient about it, my home country is super strict and they will strip me of my citizenship the moment they discover I have naturalized into a Japanese citizen. They have zero tolerance for dual nationality. Therefore I’m stuck between not being able to get PR nor apply for naturalization. It’s very sad but I decided to go home because work visas are very unstable and will run out eventually.

  1022. @ exactly. In my country too, PR is waaaay easier to get than citizenship. Also, most Western countries allow dual citizenship (eg Australia, NZ, Canada, US, UK etc) but majority of Asian countries ban dual nationality. So yeah life sucks for me.

I bet you think Joe Biden was also "installed" huh. What a convenient bogeyman.

Mr. O'Blivian its debatable that whites get along well with any Asian race, just looking at the shenanigans they pull off in Southeast Asia esp Thailand and Singapore where they constantly abuse the locals both physically and verbally. Japanese, yes, they are often respected as equals to the Western Powers, other Asians? Not so much. Americans can debate which shade or color is worse or better (white, black, brown) but all Japanese know that only their former colonial subjects Taiwanese and maybe some Koreans and Chinese could ever hope to truly integrate into their society, especially if one parent has Japanese lineage. The rest are just deluding themselves and Japanese, the true masters of the land, know it.

  1100. o o FAN See? You can take a Chinese out of China and put them in Canada but you cannot take the China out of a Chinese. Canada has many Hong Konger who fled there to Vancouver before 1997 handover. The law is unfair and dangerous because it violates 1 country 2 systems principle. The courts in China are rigged and not transparent, and they can use it to kidnap or arrest any Hong Konger who is against the Communist Party like the Hk booksellers, and throw them into jail in China or execute them. This law will undermine HK’s credibility as an international financial centre. Westerners will turn to Singapore instead as an alternative investment destination. Even the Catholic Church has condemned this law in Hong Kong. Lawyers, business tycoons, property and real estate magnates - everyone is against this absurd law. NOT just STUDENTS! China has trained its people not to protest, that’s why even overseas mainlanders despise Hong Kong protest. Tiananmen ended very badly. The government censors it in China. But mainlanders need to understand that Hong Kong and Taiwan think differently. Insulting and belittling them all the time is going to drive the wedge between China and HK/TW even more. In Vancouver, the Hong Kongers and mainlanders dont talk to each other. One speak Cantonese and one speak Putonghua. They hate each other. Is this the future you want for China?

    1
  1140.  @alhkcblack9617  unfortunately this is a chicken and egg scenario. The reason why SG and HK women can work full careers with high pay is because these countries take in large numbers of immigrants that work as domestic helpers. Right now foreign population in Singapore is about 50% but only 2% in Japan. So Japanese women rather be full-time housewives and many are expected to resign when they get married or pregnant. Japan cannot accept foreigners living with them or in their country in large numbers so there are no domestic helpers to assist Japanese women. Japanese law also states that only high-level foreign executives of multinational corporations or high-ranking diplomats of foreign embassies and missions can employ up to 2 domestic helpers from abroad like the Philippines. So only the top elites can have domestic helpers in Japan.
    1
  1141.  @alhkcblack9617  Japanese grandparents are very old like 80s or 90s and they can’t help much to take care of grandkids. They also often live in the “inaka” or countryside which is very far from the cities where the jobs and schools are. Daycare is one solution but waiting lists are long and there are insufficient daycare teachers or workers because of low pay and long hours and huge responsibilities. Sometimes kids get left on the school bus for hours and die of heat stroke in summer, or female teachers abuse them and male teachers sexually assault the kids. Change is needed but Japan does not want change, whether socially or technologically or immigration. So things will slowly continue the way they are now, in a slow gradual decline.
    1
  1142.  @alhkcblack9617  yup, and as you can see “rocking boats” and “shaking things up” are not the Japanese’ forte. The boat has not rocked a millimetre for 40 years and counting. Even for dynamic places like HK and SG, the rapid and immense changes are causing destabilizing effects on mental health, social stability and political backlash due to mass immigration from China, India, Philippines etc, so it’s not all a bed of roses either. Asia is in precarious times truly.

Thats why the sg govt expelled the China spy. Social media can have a negative influence on youths.

  1211.  @hermitpurple3  I am pure blood Singaporean living in Tokyo and the worst insult you can call a Singaporean is to call him a “mainland Chinese”. Singapore has 50% foreigner population (which some locals feel is too much) but Japan only has 2% which is practically nothing for a country of 128 million. Everywhere I go there’s nothing but old people. I don’t agree with Japan taking in refugees like Kurds or evacuees like Ukrainians but at the very least make it more attractive for Asian talent or Western expats. Right now it’s a bureaucratic nightmare for gaijin. Low pay, high taxes, racism, xenophobia, red tape. Also, we Singaporeans are not communist.
    1
  1212. @ yup, exactly. Yes, the racism was especially bad during Covid. The average Japanese cannot differentiate because all Asian foreigners look like “Chinese” to the Japanese. Someone even said “nihao” at me in Daikanyama. We have a lot of Japanese expats and tourists in Singapore and we welcome them because they tend to behave well and not cause trouble. Same for Taiwanese. However, relations with mainland China is a lot more complicated and there are a lot of social issues due to immigrants etc as you have cited. But it is either this or the Singapore economy collapses overnight. Right now as things stand, the Singapore dollar is stronger than the yen. The government chose the lesser of two evils because they only think about money. But it is either this or a stagnant inflationary environment like in Japan for almost 40 years. 50% foreigners is too much but 2% is not enough. The J govt has to find an optimal balance and act fast. Right now they can’t even decide on separate surnames for married women. It’s already 2025! Too many old people and too many old men especially in the Diet. Move fast or become irrelevant. That’s why Singapore is always moving and progressing. I don’t have the right to tell the Japanese how to govern their country but as an observer the J govt is too slow to act on anything and the people also don’t want change. Debt is piling up and labor shortage is worsening. Less and less babies. It’s hard to be optimistic as a foreigner here.
    1
  1213.  @hermitpurple3  thanks for the frank exchange. I think the lack of drop in the QoL (for now) has also contributed to political apathy among the young, which led to lack of constitutional revision, separate surnames, same-sex marriage etc. I dont know how you can still call this "economic strength" and what technology? Only the train tech like maglev, shinkansen etc are advanced. And maybe gaming consoles like playstation 5 and switch 2. Government bureaucracy, digitalization, IT, banking and finance sectors I have to say is maybe 20 years behind Singapore if I'm being generous. Could be 30 or 40. And CCP doesn't even register on our radar. I have been to Japan about 7 times as a tourist and lived here for several years. I have only visited China once in my whole lifetime for a few days and that was more than 25 years ago. Hong Kong and Taiwan about 3 times each. The average Singaporean couldn't care less about China and the less we have to do with them the better.

Its about inflating the population as much as possible to squeeze as much money as possible. Crazy Rich Asians is a lie, an illusion to fool the West. The real locals are poor, saddled with debt, always chasing money while the foreigners live it up. Locals are full of envy and perpetually tired and grumpy and chasing after material comfort, always out of reach. South Korea and Japan are the same minus the foreigners. They hate all foreigners.

  1251. she's not the daughter of a billionaire, although there are those in Singapore as well. Jamie was the daughter of VERY POOR parents, from a POOR neighborhood in Singapore. She worked as a flight attendant to save money to buy her first bag. When was the last time you saw a billionaire's daughter WORKING?

  1256.  @madcityy269  Digital nomad visa is not a real visa. It is limited to 6 months, non-renewable, must be reapplied after 6 months after the previous one has expired, also requires a ton of paperwork, minimum 3 months of processing time, and 10 millon yen in annual income. It is a lame duck program. Also, you will not be registered as an official foreign resident of Japan, you will not receive a Foreign Resident (Zairyuu) card, you will not be able to get health insurance or open bank accounts or rent standard apartments on the open market with 2 year leases. You will have to live in hotels and airbnbs the entire time because no one will deal with a foreigner much less one without a zairyuu documentation and resident certificate (juminhyo) required for any administrative process in Japan. You will not be able to even sign up for a local phone plan and number.

  1258. A few countries have closed their borders to China already, either a total blanket ban or partial ban: Russia, Mongolia, North Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

  1259.  @MasterPandaBearChannel  it is similar to Switzerland in that it has multiple official and unofficial languages, in this order: English (official, main), Singlish (unofficial, main), Mandarin (official, second), Malay (official, second, minority), Tamil (official, second, minority), Other foreign languages like Hindi and Tagalog (unofficial, foreigner language, minority). If you have to choose the top 3 though it would be English, Singlish and Mandarin.

  1260.  @missplainjane3905  and? Singapore is an independent republic. If Japan values bilateral ties with Singapore then it should start differentiating Singapore as above the rest. As we rightly are.

  1263. dave choy learn to read. I said they can’t speak it properly. Watch some videos or interviews with Singaporeans trying to speak Mandarin. Pause and stutter every few words and insert random phrases in English/Singlish. Next, compare it with a video of native Taiwanese speaking Mandarin on their variety show/news broadcast. The difference is Heaven and Earth. Singaporeans are not real Chinese.

  1268.  @เด็กพเนจร-ฝ4ษ  if you think Japanese people can speak better English than Thai people, oh boy you are in for a big surprise. Japan is developed but only on the surface, the population is so aged, it lacks energy, the people hopelessly backwards and outdated and racist against foreigners, and the technology in Thailand or China is even better than Japan, especially in IT. The only areas Japan is truly advanced is robotics and high-speed rail transportation. Yen value has plummeted so much even Singapore dollar is stronger than Japanese yen.

  1272. It's mostly Westerners who don't bother to learn Japanese. They think they are better than Japanese. All Asian foreigners learn Japanese very quickly. Like Chinese, Korean,etc.

  1273.  @poisonapple6138  it’s already half-filled with foreigners. Country is bursting at its seams. Its like an overcrowded and overheated (35 degrees temp year round) Titanic that is overhyped and overpriced, and sinking rapidly with insufficient lifeboats. If you are a rich expat, it’s heaven. Esp if you are white. If not, well goodluck!

  1280. You do not have a visa and you cannot remain in Japan other than as a temporary visitor/tourist. Also, the language barrier and culture shock will prevent you from staying.

  1281. Decades upon decades of racial superiority complex and constant snubbing of their Asian rivals (Korea, China, Taiwan, HK) have finally come back to bite them. Karma is a b. Eat some humble pie and realize it's not the roaring 80s anymore Japan.

  1283. sudi gogo5 this was destined to happen ever since the Communists ruined 5000 years of culture and history of the real China.. Now the real and true China only exists in small pockets and remnants in the form of HK, Macau SAR and Taiwan ROC...the once cultured empire has long fallen and is in fragments..with a barbaric communist regime in charge..a pretender on a fake throne
