It is for all people visiting Singapore for Tourism, kindly note few things in your mind and be alert.
1) Singapore Airport staff are very rude, they are indulged in racism. These people think so big ( though they are earning their bread from tourists) of themselves. On airport you can find separate entry for different nationality. There is CHANNEL B for people from third world country. They need to pass special procedures for check-in process. Screening process for third world country is different from regular tourists from other parts of world.
2) Taxi driver, Hotel reception are normally very rude. You cannot expect courtesy or politeness from this people, it is as if they are serving us. For instance I have asked for glass for drinking juice at 10 pm. reception said sorry we cannot help, as their services are closed. You cannot get coffee beyond certain hours, you cannot get bottle opener in three star or four star hotels.
3) they will not keep luggage in cloak room for more than 2 hours
4) If we ask something two times, just because we did not understand their Chinglish, they get irritated on customers. This is normal with any shopkeeper, hotels, taxi or even restaurants. There is hardly any courtesy.
5) Be prepared to face flood of prostitutes, lady boys (she males) in every hotel, tourist area.
6) Over high pricing in restaurants. Let us say if you order a pasta ( per portion 30 Sing dollar) in Marina plaza ordinary restaurant, they will force you to buy many times. The qty they give per plate is not even enough for 4 year old Child. Same thing goes with bar/pubs, where they charge for large and give very little, In short they try to give minimum possible to get maximum out of it. That could probably cost 200 to 300 $ for food per day for two people, which is more expensive considering normal restaurants. ( all that comes without courtesy).
7) Singapore has flood of Casinos, here also they have special screening process for people from third world country. This comes specially when Singapore know very well that most of their tourism comes from Mainland China and India.
I am giving you TRAVEL ALERTS to all Asian tourists if they really wanna enjoy their holidays better go to other countries like Thaiiland, Malayasia, Indonesia, China, Hongkong, But avoid Singapore, People here are racist, rude and lot of attitude problem plus they try to rip you off to best possible way. If you resist about CHANNEL B at airport security and airport staff will harass you. I refused to go by Channel B, for which I was not allowed and finally I had to go through Channel B. After entering I had very special screening, they asked me to remove belt, each and every thing from pocket and this was carried out three times. In this process I lost few hundred sing dollar from my wallet, my belt was damaged ( since they were trying to find something hidden LOL). I probably think some of my dollars were flicked by Singapore airport security people. It is well known that Singapore after loosing its commercial and industrial economy to china, now they are resorting to cheap and easy source of money, tourism, prostitution and other mal practices, while having so much attitude and olden British left glory, as if they are only honest people on earth.
AVOID SINGAPORE TOURISM, IT SUCKS, SINGAPORE SUCKS, PEOPLE HERE SUCKS, IT IS RACIST COUNTRY.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
SINGAPORE IS SHAME TO THE WORLD, SPONSORED BY ITS ARROGANT GOVERNMENT AND ITS CITIZENS.
I am from Mainland China . I was not allowed in Casino at Marina Sands even after showing my passport. They have two lines, one for locals another for whites, and rest of Asians are treated in very bad manner, they have special checks. Many of them are not allowed with no good reasons. Have not seen this type of racism and bad attitude in Macau or any other casino or tourist places world wide.
I still wonder why people go to expensive Singapore where prices have been tripled for everything after economic fall-down to china. Now if we do not give business or other countries like India, this country will die and Singaporean will force to beg like Russian crisis couple of years ago or like Egyptians etc.
Singapore has extortionately high prices. From hotels, to restaurants, bars, coffee shops. Everywhere the prices are much higher than Europe yet the service is atrocious. The people are rude and ignorant. Stay away from Singapore unless you like being ripped-off.
Yes I agree! They are just not the friendliest people in the world
I wouldn't say everyone in Singapore are rude. Some are nice
But mostly they are. Iwhen I just arrived at the airport and was asking
Customer service officer where la mer is ( a Product) but she doesnt know
What it is, she got annoyed that she doesn't and instead got pissy at me and
Very rudely talked to me. There are so many examples but I hate them. Let me
Also say that that Indonesians are no better. They are also
Rude people. They first look do you look like you have money or
Not. If you don't they are just goin to be rude or ignore you.
It just appalled me how they treat other people when most of these
People get paid very llittle.
