the person comment from which country?

singapore case the difference is real from the start.
like cooking, smell and taste of food. if one organized a food related
event two groups of people will need special attention. vegan and muslim.
some complain why every time no pork not nice.
over time people get use to it.
that is when singapore become a nation with singaporean race.
the influx of foreigner has set this back by decades as the large number has allowed them 
to congregate and live their home town way. instead of adjusting to local conditions and merge
in like local singaporean.
