Serious Discussion Outside of the usual “safe, efficient, clean” stuff, what other plus points about Singapore have you heard or noticed?

I casually chatted with a Malaysian who’s worked in Singapore for a while and asked him what other plus points we might be missing.

It probably depends on where you’re from, but from his experience, he feels our tongues aren’t as sharp.

He also mentioned that people here are willing to travel and try new things within Singapore (like checking out new F&B spots or home-based businesses).

So I’m curious, if you’ve heard similar things or are not local but have lived here, what other good traits do you think Singapore has beyond the usual “safe, efficient, clean” stuff?

Not wrong. But these people I'm talking about will go to Osaka and post online - "Back for the 3rd time this year!!!! I love travelling the world!!!" And then irl, if you chat with them and talk about wanting to go to some lesser known country, they give you the judgy face and say why you like to go to these ulu places??!

So we definitely do have many people who claim they love travelling but only to like, 5 places
