My 86 y/o Mom asks "Why's he yapping about Singapore and not cars?" I'm like blown away.... Wow, my Mom watches me watching Pranay? Take a bow, Bro.

I was in Japan last week and the level of civic, traffic and common sense was at another level. They don’t litter plus you don’t get garbage bins everywhere. You have to carry your trash with you until you find a bin where you can dispose of it. There are very few public toilets; in fact there’s an app to locate the nearest one. So you don’t find people peeing on the streets and all over the place; rather they’re very disciplined, methodical and respectful. And the honking bit - in 8 days in Japan I actually heard the horn thrice. Blew my mind. We have the potential to be great and even greater than these countries. But the will and desire from the powers that be (or the lack of) is what’s causing our downfall.
Sidebar - hope you reach 100k soon!

As I grow, I feel all of life is just engineering tradeoffs. Good video! :)

Would love a video on earnings comparison, impact of taxes on net savings, which careers are high paying and most sought after in Singapore etc.

Have Shot so much in Singapore including PM Lee Hsein and Ex google Rajan Anandan. I miss the streets of Singapore (visually). You must be enjoying the bike rides especially with the cycling paths.

Let's have that video on savings please! It's good to get an understanding of every aspect of the move when moving abroad. We would like that very much.

I’ve lived in Singapore for four years now, and everything you said is spot on; you really don’t need a car here because it's small and public transport is world-class. Aside from the cars and delivery times, everything else is an upgrade.

Hey Pranay, been here since your first video, can't believe it's already been 2 years! Congratulations in advance for 100k 🎉. Can't wait to some more amazing Singapore videos from you ❤️
