🤨 'No personality': UK woman criticises Singapore for lack of heritage

A woman in the UK sparked online debate after sharing her negative experience visiting Singapore in a street interview featured on TikTok by user @emma_a_cosmos2. 

She said she wouldn’t return, describing the country as “a bit cold” and lacking “personality.” She added that Singapore fell short of her expectations for historical depth, as she had hoped to discover ancient relics or an “ancient story” during her trip.

A UK woman says that she didn’t like Singapore and wouldn’t return because of a lack of ancient history and character …. 🤔  

Do Singaporean social media users agree with her? What about 🫵?

LOL. For ancient relics, she should go to countries like China, Egypt, Greece, India, Iran etc. For medieval period, European countries, Turkey etc will be good places to go to.

Should not be coming to Singapore for ancient relics.

Like I have hinted - those places are "nice" touristy destinations for social media bloggers and selfies....

Other then those well manicured and doll-up "cultural" skin-leve attractions, it is empty under neath.... Big Grin

Have to be at least 100 years,
 other than religious building, indeed very few.
Fort Canning, Fort Siloso, Istana Kampong Glam,The Arts House, Central Fire Station.
arts craft souvenir are rare. 

Our govt in the past emphasis on modern building to attract tourists
but is getting very common throughout the world.
