I like the elderly lady being interviewed
She is rich in her heart
She has a heart of gold

[ianmaher]

From my experience as an Australian who spent a lot of time In Singapore in the 80s, I think there is a large difference between the rich and poorer people. The people interviewed were realistic about their situations.

3:14 makcik knows the answer. very wise.

[DanSurprise]

Wrong place and wrong time! Not saying all Singaporeans are rich but you're interviewing elderly Singaporeans, and blue-collar foreign workers in one of the less 'rich' and old neighbourhoods. Moreover, you are doing this interview during what seems to be office hours during a weekday, if this is a weekend, it will be crowded, which means all the non 'jobless' people are all at work. Try interviewing Singaporeans in the CBD area to get a wider perspective. Come on Asian Boss do better.

"Money, at the end of the day, is just a number." That makes for a good tagline, but is nothing more than an empty platitude for those living on or below the poverty line. It's a luxury belief to claim that money doesn't matter to people who can't afford basic necessities.

The unemployed guy is a good dude. He's got the ability to think selflessly, even when he's financially struggling himself.

[somerandomfella]

I don't think even a rich person anywhere would feel rich. They'd always want more.

As Singaporeans, I feel rich when going overseas.True hard facts bro.Nice video.Upz

[_globalhawk]

The title should be 'Asking poor people wether they feel rich in Singapore"

[KeoNz]

Your title is misleading. You interviewed foreign worker and domestic worker. Those are not Singaporeans. Singapore's median income in 2023 is $5, 197 hence 50% of Singaporeans earn more than 5K per month.

[yummycrepe]

Living inside Singapore, we don't feel rich. Living in some of our neighbor countries, we can feel a little bit rich.

[GingerOreo]

0:53 I can’t believe this woman is domestic worker. She speaks so well, I would have thought she’s in some management level at a big company.

[vsd]

The pool you guys interviewed idt is representative of all ages. Probably missing out 30-45 years old Singaporean who are in the prime earning times

[neorenjie]

All Singaporeans are rich enough to have security, clean streets, clean water and good education and transport. Things that are normalised here and taken for granted but are luxury elsewhere.

A rich kid argues that the money belongs to his parents, but he's living in a big house and getting all the fancy stuff. A rich Singaporean argues that the money is not his, but he's getting all the stuff paid for by the government.

Even if you ask condo and car owners, they will say they are not rich because they can't fly first class all the time.

It's perspective.

[koalatheworld]

There are quite a number of Singaporean interviewees in this video, despite negative comments here stating that majority being interviewed are non singaporeans. Thank you for posting, Asian Boss!

[azraelfreyasimons]

Most interviewees gave a lot of realistic insights and that domestic helper lady is so gorgeous!

[leeMleeM]

As expected, realistic thoughts from Singaporeans...lol. I hate how the media also portray Singapore as the city with all the wealthy people. The everyday struggles are real but we will just need to learn to manage and find simple pleasures in life within our means.

[megatron]

Most Singkies feel rich only when they are in other countries. Singapore dollar is very strong.

[shijou]

As a Singaporean, I feel privilege, but thats not to say there isnt any issue in Singapore. Things are getting really expensive and it is hard for younger generation to live in. Could be said the same for other countries too.

[rsqnvpq]

I love this 😭 I hope every single person in this video reaches their dreams and lives happy lives and achieves their goals
