these foreigners lucky SG have gun laws. If not all shot dead by locals already

Guns are called the great equalizer, those up there will ensure such a gun law won’t happen.

The fact he’s publicly making this speech means he’s tone deaf.

Immigrants urged to follow social norms​

On another point, SM Lee said that it is important for immigrants to be mindful of social norms in Singapore, to prevent any potential conflicts or unrest.

"Do not go around popping champagne which is $20,000 a bottle with sparklers, and do not zoom your Ferrari or Lotus or whatever down the middle of the road in the middle of the night just to let everybody know that you have arrived," he said.

"You would not have thought that that was something you needed to tell anybody, but sometimes it is helpful to remind them."

He really thinks they care what he says ?

Anyway, I don't care if they have lavish lifestyle . They can pop $100,000 bottle of champagne with sparklers in fine dining restaurants ( better than these who play fireworks in public places), buy Lambos, Ferrari, Lotus, branded stuff etc is ok. As long as it doesn't affect us.... like revving their cars in middle of night is a No , NO!

It’s not possible to control the behaviours of rich multimillionaires and billionaires in sg

I’m confused.. so we welcome them and their money here, but chastise them for living their kind of lifestyles..?

when they move the money out.. then the tune will change to we need to be more understanding to help them adapt..

Remember, "they came here to look for a better life"

They came here to become Upper class citizens because they cannot make it in their own country and were treated as Low Class citizens.
