A content creator discusses a viral video by a Singaporean influencer who criticizes the lack of linguistic diversity in public spaces. The discussion centers on a shopping mall billboard in Orchard Road that only features English and Chinese, sparking a broader debate on whether Singapore is losing its multicultural identity and inclusivity to commercial interests and a dominant single-culture influence.
To what does capitalism's goal come?
through our identity?
The more I think about it, the more I feel
Only one language and one culture
Needs to look more than others.
And I am sure
Chinese people are not the only tourists here.
Perhaps that is why many tourists from abroad

A popular internet celebrity from Singapore
This article was originally in English, but since I know many of my audience members can't understand English, I've translated it into Chinese to share with you all.
The title is
Don't let Singapore look anything less than Singapore.
The internet celebrity criticized this.
A famous one on Orchard Road
Shopping mall billboard
He used only English and Chinese messages.
Everyone knows that Orchard Road in Singapore can be considered the pinnacle of prosperity among bustling areas.
the most most most most in Singapore
Business is just like New York's Fifth Avenue.
Same as Fifth Avenue
It's just
Very, very much so—basically, I believe most tourists visiting Singapore, except for someone like me who's rather unusual, would feel the same.
General tourists visiting Singapore will definitely want to take a look at Orchard Road.
Especially when Christmas comes around
When I went to Singapore last time, a friend also took me there.
The Orchard Road looks beautiful with its Christmas decorations.
Various atmospheres, and there will also be many things along Orchard Road.
This young man goes to record some of the videos and content created by those internet celebrities.
The reason I liked Orchard Road the most when I lived and worked in Singapore
It's shopping, because I like shopping.
I don't have the slightest interest in it, but
I really enjoy spending time with a few friends on Orchard Road.
I bought an ice cream back then, you know, that bread with ice cream—there used to be stalls selling it, I don't know if such little food carts still exist today.
Then, buy an ice cream, sit by the roadside, and just watch the street.
Let's just look at the pedestrians coming and going on the road.
That's really interesting, isn't it?
Tourists from all around the world can see their reflections on Orchard Road.
Whether it be race
skin color
religion
You can tell at a glance that people's attire and appearance vary greatly across the world.
Everyone can see it at Orchard Road.
So although I don't have a particular fondness for Orchard Road, because I don't like it
Shopping? But
This place, Orchard Road, is truly a magical place.
That's why
This internet celebrity recently spotted it at Orchard Road.
This is a well-known shopping mall on Orchard Road; I won't mention the name, as it probabilities
I'm not trying to
I'm not targeting this shopping mall at all.
This Orchard Road, its message is truly excellent. As you can see in the image, it's right there.
I love the orchard.
OK orchard
I love Orchard Road.
OK Love at Orchard
But the unfortunate thing is what?
I love Orchard Road, but only in English.
two languages, Chinese and English
Therefore
He just used this paragraph.
What happened to Singapore's inclusiveness?
For the video
This opening
This video has been viewed more than 300 times.
This
I just checked, it's nearly 400 views already then
The number of views has already
Innumerable and numerous indeed
8,000 likes already
So this internet celebrity, everyone can take a look as well.
And then? His this
This really does feel like this indeed.
Some things felt inappropriate to him, he thought.
The more he noticed, the more he focused on this one person.
Internet celebrity, actually
To be honest, judging by his appearance, I really can't tell where he's from.
Just look at this picture—take a look at this internet celebrity right here.
I don't know whether he's Chinese or of Malay descent or what, but his skin tone is perhaps slightly darker than that of Chinese people.
But there are also Chinese people with this skin tone.
To be honest, I can't really tell the difference either.
He's Singaporean, right?
So he said as a Singaporean, he felt
The more he noticed, the greater and more intense the attention became for one language and one culture.
That is why many overseas tourists believe Singapore is part of China.
He added.
He also pointed out
An increasing number of Chinese employees in Chinese enterprises are unable to communicate in English.
Moreover, all receipts are printed in Chinese.
It's only Chinese, purely Chinese.
So he further questioned whether public spaces
Continue to primarily cater to a specific ethnic group or community.
Then these spaces
Will inclusiveness toward minority groups decrease?
He just raised a question, OK
He also added that he believes a landmark shopping mall in Singapore
It is currently being reinforced.
This question
So in the end, he concluded by saying, "Don't let Singapore look anything less than Singapore."
So this really does make one feel
This is extremely thought-provoking and truly worth our deep discussion and reflection.
He said they had been looking forward to it with great anticipation.
Waiting for him
As a tourist, he was just continuously looking at it at that time.
He is wondering whether this screen will switch to another language.
But I waited for a long time
He only speaks English.
and Chinese
He found it very strange.
I think
His strange behavior
For me, I don't find it strange because
I live in Canada, here we are
Many places initially, Canada has always been bilingual, English and French.
These are all mandatory requirements, and moreover
Many places, including
Some shopping malls and their signage feature various languages.
Including the time I've been to Taiwan
If you've ever taken the MRT in Taiwan, you should know
Taiwan's MRT is not only extremely orderly, with everyone queuing up to board the train in perfect discipline, but also...
The MRT is also very quiet.
In addition to that
Precisely because of this
Quiet
We can clearly hear the explosion at the MRT station.
This language
I'm telling you, that really is
Many kinds have English with this
Chinese (literally "Chinese language")
I also have this dialect; I don't know whether it's Hakka or not.
Because I don't understand Hokkien, that's why.
Then
Some stations, especially some scenic spot stations
I can still hear some at the major scenic spots.
Although I
I don't understand what he's saying, but I know it's about an explosion.
I can still hear some differences between Japanese and Korean.
That's why
I'm not saying Taiwan is more diverse than Singapore, that's not what I mean, but rather...
Now this makes me feel
This multilingualism is of great importance, and countries around the world are all moving in this direction.
So, the internet celebrity added by way of补充
He has encountered similar situations at other malls in the city center as well.
The brochure he received from the restaurant was only available in Chinese.
That one I can handle.
I see now because
Some restaurants are honestly just like the ones we have here in Canada.
Just like my local one
Some Chinese restaurants in Winnipeg
Chinese restaurants operated by some mainland Chinese people
He doesn't even have an English menu.
Because he only does
Chinese people run businesses, but their bosses can't even speak English themselves.
The waiter can't speak English either.
entire
This restaurant's business is specifically for Chinese restaurants.
But then, online, if you want to order takeout,
On some platforms, like Skip Dishes, these are some of our North American ones here.
On platforms like DoorDash, they have English menus.
But when dining in the store
The menu doesn't even have it.
Every time I go to eat at one of my friends' restaurants, if I see something I always tell them.
You can't just rely on business from Chinese people. What if one day the Chinese stop coming?
As a result, the number of Chinese immigrants has sharply declined over the past two years.
So many of these Chinese restaurants are really just barely surviving.
Because I had never thought about it before
I've always told my friends that if you're going to do business locally, you must never just think about
When doing business within your own ethnic group, think about
the entire large market
So he said, "In"
In some restaurants in Singapore, I've only seen the promotional materials in Chinese, and I think that's okay—I can still understand it.
After all, small business
He doesn't have a representative, right? That's why
I only do business with Chinese people. I don't expect any foreigners, or any white or black people, to come in.
This African man, this South American man—whatever, I'll just do my own thing.
The business of people coming from mainland China, since I myself am also from the mainland, I opened됰 a store here.
Perhaps that was his original intention, so he said
If he does that, it's okay too—that's his choice.
As some
some representative landmark buildings and tourist attractions in Singapore, even a very bustling place
If there were only a single language or just one or two languages
Indeed
I think
Incompatible with Singapore's internationalization, this kind of internationalization
Such a thing
demeanor
OK
I've always felt that Singapore is more international than Taiwan—more international, more international, more international.
But I've been saying it all along
The past two years, whenever I've traveled to Asia for leisure, I've increasingly realized
My foreigner's travel experience in Singapore
The travel experience in Taiwan is increasingly becoming less enjoyable because
The number of mainland Chinese tourists visiting Singapore is truly increasing more and more.
No matter where you go, you'll hear the loud, distinct accent of this continent.
Then, in Taiwan, on the contrary, there's actually hardly any mainland Chinese accent at all—it's capable of...
You're so quiet—come on, let's go to Alishan together.
It's truly completely quiet.
I regret not bringing my flute with me to these large gatherings.
Blowing under the tree really is just
Let me truly calm down; I'm in Taiwan.
I arrived.
This
East, there are so many beautiful attractions, really there are
So you can calm down and settle your mind
Enjoying the scenery allows one to savor this tranquil moment.
But Singapore, due to this
Too many mainland tourists.
Of course
Most are pretty good, but you'll inevitably come across some that are just... wow, this one, this one...
You're so careless when you speak, really.
After all, can I understand what they're saying? I remember being able to pick up on some complaints.
So that is indeed true as well.
Then this internet celebrity also pointed out
He also pointed out another example shared by a fan.
The image shows a National Day T-shirt.
It has Chinese characters printed on top.
He said that although he saw another language being adopted
That's interesting, but I question why Malay?
There is no design similar to Tamil script.
He said OK.
After all, it's National Day.
The official language of Singapore is
Are these four languages? Is English and Chinese?
Malay and Tamil, right? These four languages
Indeed, if this is used during the National Day holiday
Of course, as for the item...
If
If this item is not officially issued by Singapore but rather released by a private merchant in Singapore
That might be it.
We can still understand it, but if it were official, it would indeed be different.
or some influential ones
unit
If it's something produced by this enterprise or company, then indeed it is so.
It's worth discussing, isn't it?
He said that despite the T-shirt's inner collar
The inner label has this logo, but
It is still unclear when and where these clothing photos were taken.
Where did it happen?
Alright, enough small talk. Let me show you this movie featuring this actor.
I added Chinese subtitles for him because many people might not understand it—it's purely in English.
I'm adding some Chinese subtitles so you can understand better—feel free to take a look.
Sorry, I'm moving this video over.
Try again, OK
I love
That's a very good question.
When exactly did capitalism begin?
With
By giving up our personal cultural identity or this
The cost of identity is
This comes at the cost of our own identity.
That's said very well indeed.
I think this passage
It is extremely worth our serious consideration.
If I knew that Singapore was a
Compare this capitalist country's market
A very free one country after another
But
Cannot do it just for the sake of making money
And
Would you sacrifice the fundamental principles of governing your own country?
Take a look at Malaysia's issues—perhaps Malaysia's racial problems might actually be worse than Singapore's.
Much more serious
That is because
Is Malaysia a country for Malaysians, is that correct?
And Singapore is
Singapore, a multicultural nation of diverse ethnicities
You know, that's what I'm saying
I think in Singapore
Even if the goal is to make money, one must not sacrifice Singapore's overall harmony and well-being.
Basic knowledge already understood.
That's also very true, he said.
I'm pretty sure
I'm absolutely certain that China isn't the only country with tourists here, and I completely agree with that.
This is indeed due to
I know this tourist from Singapore only too well, although there are now many from China.
But
Indeed, people from all over the world are present in Singapore.
Do you remember me?
Earlier, when I was doing a live stream by the roadside in Singapore
I am wearing Croatia.
With this jersey, I managed to strike up a conversation with a tourist from Croatia.
It's just
The country you can think of around the world, Singapore
There are always such people, there's one
You're right, so what he said is really...
Absolutely, completely correct
Alright, I need to thoroughly analyze this sentence with you.
He said perhaps this is why some foreign tourists might think Singapore originated from China.
OK, I'd like to share something I personally experienced with you.
I have some internet celebrity friends in Singapore, including a girl from Switzerland.
I've filmed videos with him and chatted with him too.
The last time I went, I went with him.
It's just a conversation, helping him take pictures.
At that time, when we were talking, I asked him a question.
I said
I said I'd just ask him, I said
I specifically said what I said.
Then I said
I'll ask him in English: So, what do you think Singaporeans are like?
He said that Singaporeans are just
Chinese, of course
But he might be referring to whether I know what this "Chinese" means—whether it means Chinese people or just someone of Chinese descent.
Chinese people because
In Chinese, we do distinguish between "Chinese people" and "ethnic Chinese," and we can.
Very obvious
You can tell
Just like we are calling
Whether we call him uncle or aunt's husband, we can still tell him apart.
But in English, it's only Uncle.
Uncle, is that right? Uncle, that's just
Your father's younger brother
Either your mother's brother or your mother's sister's husband can be called Uncle.
But here, in Chinese, we can call him uncle or maternal uncle, right?
But foreigners might not have such things.
This viewpoint
That's actually extremely dangerous. My friend is a Swiss national living in Singapore.
Moreover, he has already started applying for his Singapore PR.
He has already started this process.
He recently updated his IG; his first application was rejected.
But is he still making constant efforts?
He said it was quite normal, he didn't expect himself to succeed on the first try either.
Then you can receive it.
So, as for me, living in Singapore
foreign friend
When I asked them
The difference between Singaporeans and Chinese people is that when I speak in English, I deliberately say
The Chinese from mainland China
These foreigners can't even tell them apart.
Then me
To be honest, at that time because
Since his videos and channel aren't primarily focused on discussing politics or geopolitics, I'm wondering whether I should have talked to him or not.
In-depth communication regarding this issue
I don't want to either
Be his educator
So
I didn't ask him any further questions at the time, but from his response, I was able to understand and feel it.
Actually, foreigners can't tell the difference either.
So the next time I go to Singapore, I can
Some
This scenic spot does some neighborhood activities.
Let me ask some foreign tourists and see how they perceive it.
Singapore and China
So, regarding this point, I think
If foreigners have indeed encountered such issues, then Singapore itself
One must strive to be even better and stronger to overcome this issue.
I personally think it's like this.
If you
oneself
Of course I know Singapore's leaders, including
The premier and other policymakers keep repeatedly mentioning this in various occasions.
This
Regardless of whether they share the same origin or not, we must ensure they are grounded in reality.
Rooting
You're right, it's not falling leaves.
Right, ultimately, isn't it?
So even though Singapore has always emphasized this point, I think
Like
When you're actually here at this famous shopping mall, a landmark location on Orchard Road, you truly...
You really do need to take these things into account; I don't know the Singapore government.
Shouldn't we introduce it? Let me give you an analogy.
In Canada's Quebec Province, because Quebec is a civil law province, it has clear legal regulations.
Whatever you have
What is this language, anyway?
In public, you must speak French.
And you're selling the product itself.
All instructions and materials must include French.
Of course, this is also highly controversial; some people will say that you're not...
Did you create the garbage? You can read English, right?
Anyway
Nothing is perfect.
But
If you want to maintain your identity in a certain place, then this is something you simply can't avoid.
Then what he said is absolutely right.
We have already felt
Many Chinese companies, as well as those from Singapore, simply don't speak it at all.
English
Just a few days ago, something happened in Chinatown that never stops...
This act of violence
These massage parlors, these
Chinese beauties, this ultra-short pink mini skirt, to this day, it's still in my mind
They simply won't go away.
Can these shop owners really speak English?
To be honest, I'm left with a big question mark.
My friend in Singapore, can you go undercover for me? If you're free, please do.
Go to the second and third floors of Chinatown.
Go for a walk.
When you come across these
The massage girl from this Chinese establishment came out.
When picking up passengers, just directly ask her, "Hey, can you speak English?"
Try to see if they can speak some
I didn't require everyone's English to be at a certain level of proficiency.
But
Singapore is fundamentally a diverse country.
Regarding this issue earlier this
I've also made a video, one by one.
A young man from Singapore was already in the university elevator
International students in mainland China
To insult in Chinese (Mandarin)
He pretended he didn't understand.
You're right, I mean
He himself mentioned in his video that many Chinese international students have poor English proficiency.
a complete mess
Coming to Singapore is just spending their parents' money to study here.
Later, when they start working, they will still compete for local jobs in Singapore, and they don't even know English.
I don't even want to learn English well.
This is a crucial question you mentioned, about some people.
You're not good at English, are you? Of course we can be tolerant, of course we can.
I think Singaporeans are highly tolerant.
You're right, aren't you?
I think Singaporeans are very similar to Canadians—they are both very friendly, very tolerant, and very inclusive. That's exactly what it is.
This multi-ethnic country, this one, this one
Culture and
This profound foundation and fundamental basis indeed
But
When you tolerate someone who is fundamentally
When one doesn't want to study
Have you ever considered this issue?
So earlier, I posted about Lee Kuan Yew's interview with an American journalist back then, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew.
When interviewed by this renowned American journalist
He said a word: he said immigration is very important.
But remind you
That's exactly his original words.
If you have the food picker
He said that if
He used the food picker to refer to that term, I mean
If you
I think his analogy there...
His British English humor—his meaning is probably that he's suggesting I guess his meaning is that
If you come across some
Those who exploit loopholes or take shortcuts are merely trying to gain an unfair advantage.
You're going to face a lot of problems.
This is Mr. Li's place back then
It was 2009, or maybe 2010—anyway, just around that time.
More than ten years ago
What has already been said
So today is the same as always.
I often talk to the people around me at our school.
Whenever I have the chance, I always speak up, whether it's with colleagues, my superiors, or during meetings that involve our entire college.
Say
Because we are catering to international students
We are bringing Canada's future to Canada.
The education sector in Singapore is the same as in Canada.
These in Singapore
This, this Singapore's education industry, Singapore's business
It's the same as well.
When the government let these people in
These people are Singapore's future.
That's why
If
If this door isn't handled properly, I'll keep saying that Singapore's immigration policy is problematic.
Much better than Canada.
Although Singapore is also a country of immigrants, Singapore
On the selection of immigrants
The standard is countless times higher than Canada's.

This sentence is also very important.
If
minority ethnic groups
And gradually adapted to this—this is the boiling frog in warm water, this is the effect of infiltration.
Of course, I'm not saying that the Chinese Communist Party deliberately intends to infiltrate.
Singapore, just said
If
The ethnic minorities in Singapore have gradually, gradually truly gotten used to it.
In this situation
That
I think it's not a healthy thing.
His last words really were...
Stop making Singapore look less like Singapore, to be honest.
I actually think we could
Talk about it for a very long time
What exactly is Singapore?
Singapore itself is a

Doing Singapore's
This video is over two years old.
We've been discussing these issues all along.
Indeed, Singapore
No one can quite describe exactly what it looks like.
But
Singapore has some
Isn't this the very foundation of the nation's establishment? Didn't you just say so?
This is
There is no doubt that
Ethnic Harmony, Multilingual, Multi-ethnic
Embracing differences
This religious belief
All can be包容 (tolerated)
That is truly Singapore.
Singapore must necessarily stay ahead
It's just
various and diverse
The term "inclusiveness" in all aspects
They all must be present.
Under this premise
That's why
I don't know how my friends in Singapore view this issue.
Of course I know.
Singapore has

It's regretful, and it feels regretful as well.

This question, however
Because I also know that among my audience
Even Singaporeans

Are they all Chinese as well?
There may be an extremely small number of
A tiny bit of
The majority of this Malay or whatever it may be must certainly be
Is this person of Chinese descent, so to speak?
As Chinese Americans, we
Is it really feeling that
That's fine, anyway I can understand both English and Chinese.
That's okay.
If we merely hold onto such a belief
One like is enough, we're fine either way.
Have we forgotten to consider others?
I believe that most viewers in Singapore
considering others more carefully
I think Singaporeans are fine.
I like Singapore because they are fine.
They also highly consider each other.
So, if you want to chat with me
What Singapore Really Is
We can discuss and talk about this question.
How can we make Singapore look more alike?
Respect minor evils more
I think this is a very good tradition.
The very wise authority
Why?
Because I myself am a small evil
I live in Canada, I am a minor crime.
I do not live in Singapore.
If I lived in Singapore
I am a minor evil, I am the majority
But in Canada, I am a minor crime
I am a minor evil
Therefore, I always pay attention to small evils.
I also spoke about other crimes
Because we are all small evils
Is that correct?
Therefore, every time I see a question like this
No matter where the country
Every time I see this question
I will think about it
Because I myself am a small evil
Therefore, this question
Today, we stop here
If you want to chat with me, we can just keep chatting.
