A viral TikTok video featuring Chinese tourists comparing Singapore and China has sparked debate online. The couple claims that the cost of living, transportation, and even healthcare are more expensive in Singapore, while food options are less appealing. Their comments have elicited mixed reactions, with some agreeing and others questioning their assertions.

SINGAPORE: A video went viral on TikTok earlier this month after a couple of Chinese tourists portrayed their country in a far more favorable light than Singapore .

However, they were not so quick to agree with the other statements the visitors made when comparing Singapore and China. The man who was interviewed, meanwhile, said that the waiting time for doctor’s appointments in Singapore was longer than in China. But transport in Singapore, she added, is probably twice as expensive, which left the interviewer open-mouthed in shock.The man also said that life in Singapore is “expensive in all aspects” and “not as cheap as in China.”
