Culture Lifestyle Singapoke Weirdness

So we asked 30 Malaysians what they thought about Singapore…

If there’s one thing keeping us awake at night, it’s this: Why is this video getting more shares and likes than our hilarious and highly entertaining Singapoke column?! We like to think our articles are a bit more pleasing to the senses.

So in an effort to provide better content, we decided to find out what the average Malaysian thinks about Singapore. Our intrepid freelance reporters (Thanks Ed, Shaks, Marcus, Calvin, Chris and Alien!) went all around town and asked Malaysians one incisive, analytical, penetrating question: “Eh, wat you think of Singapore ah?”

Here are some of the answers. Many thanks too, to everybody who participated!
