Singapore Gave Her A Home That Thailand Never Could 

I thought the title should be "Singapore Gave Her A Home That Australia Never Could"

You are a blessing to Singapore. And Singapore is a blessing to millions of people.

i was in Australia in 1999 and encountered racism... 22 years on seems like nothing much have changed.

As a Singaporean, I’m grateful that I’m being brought up in Singapore and I will never consider another place to call home. From security to economic reason, we are strong and definitely more honest than the others. Our multi racial society often was taken for granted. End of the day, it’s everyone’s choice to go where they want to.

Appreciate the good work that you do and proud to have you as a fellow Singaporean, Li Woon.

Welcome to Singapore 🇸🇬. We need ppl like you 👍😁🙏

Dear Li Woon, Thank you, thank you for showing all, what is loving Singapore, being a truly born in Singapore, Singaporean...

Thank you, Singapore should be very proud of you. We need more of you.

Glad to hear you say you are Singaporean and you are born here. 💕

She is a true blue SIngaporean!

When I went to Australia as a tourist for about 1 week, many times I was greeted with unfriendly looks by the locals. I will never want to visit that hostile country again !

Singapore is a blessing to all people give a lot opportunity to work to help family.im working for almost 7yrs.in singapore my sisters and family finished their study and had a healthy lives now becuase of singapore country..its very nice country

I have lived in a Scandinavian country as a singaporean for almost ten years, I share the same experiences as her and I made a decision to return back to singapore n throw away my children’s European union’s passport. Europe is crumbling with high unemployment rates, declining education, outdated policies, poor health care efficiency n ever changing governments, on top of that we contribute half of our salaries as income tax in Europe, in return, racism , cold dark weathers, lack of English proficiency burdens the society n it’s people, gone r the days where Asians needs to migrate to a western country for better lives, nowadays, asia is our future

Is very lucky to live in SINGAPORE.

We need people and fellow citizen like u . I get to know you because of the work you hv helped with the lonely elderly people here 🙏

Beautiful story from a wonderful lady.

You find yourself after getting lost. Good quote! Even if you go to china now, they don't think you are one of them even thought your parents are born there. Good that u have find place where you belong and back home. You have a big heart and compassion.

You are beautiful inside and out, I love your work....your strength. Your priorities are set right. Stay strong girl. Be blessed

Singapore is blessed to have you around 💪 u R Singaporeans ❤️

... We really respect your decision, however Thailand always opens warm arms for you, just as you open your mind

Without a doubt, you are one of us, Singaporean.

Welcome to Singapore. Singaporeans would share the joy of living with you. God bless.

Hello li woon, im hainanese too, very proud of u

The world need more people like you. You will inspire others with what you are doing. Kaub khun krahp🙏

Kit Chan's song HOME best describes how you feel. I guess.

Very touched by your story.

Thank you very much for fantastic work

Welcome back . Thumbs up

Thank you. You are an inspiration

So glad u come back home...this is where u belong. All the best to you!

Why are you putting Thailand down?

In Thailand, there are millions of Chinese-Thais who are financially well off. I rather live in Thailand in a house rather then government apartments in Singapore.

Sawadeekaa, you’re a sweet person.☺️

Bless your kind soul 😊🙏

Home Sweet Home ... anyway, the title may leads misunderstanding about Thailand , in content was nothing about Thailand ..

Salute to u sis

Welcome home daughter of Singapore.

Thank you!

Who made the title? Did you not watch the video?

It's bit confusing and misleading. She feedback the struggling when living in Australia more than Thailand. As myself Malaysian Chinese stay in Thailand few years don't know Tha language but there's no problem for me, and Thai people generally would accept you. Yes. but not in Australia. So who doesn't gave home to who?

Home is actually in SG but some fail to see it.

Welcome to Singapore.

Li Woon is Chinese name. So I wonder if her parents have Chinese lineage in Thailand. After all there are many Thai-Chinese people.

Feel good to read story of good people. I'm Thai and always proud to be Thai.

I have same predicament with my Thai surname too. My mum is a local singaporean chinese and my dad held a Thai citizenship but his parents ( my grandparents) were from Fujian who had migrated to Thailand during the war. I took after my dad's Thai surname, and after he changed his citizenship and converted to chinese surname, all my siblings followed after his Chinese surname, i am the only one left in the family with a different surname. On top of that my race is categorised as others. When i i argue that i am chinese they would said but your dad's document is Thai so i have to be a Thai. Beside the frustration that people mispronounce my surname as "seahorse"

a lot of comments mentioned about the misleading title but I think they want it that way anyway. She was born and raised in Singapore, she hardly able to speak Thai so it's easy to feel like home in Singapore rather than in Thailand. Anyway I'm glad you found a place where you can called home :)

The title should be... AUS never could.

To be fair, there are a lot of good Australians, trouble is they don't speak up about racism often enough. I am an Australian born of Asian descent, I have encountered racism towards me, a few times, but I always give it back, spit it back in their faces. Don't keep quiet and take it, I know Asians are in nature very quiet, If you speak out and louder, These racists will back off.

Australia...you should be ashamed of yourself.

My brother migrated to Australia, long time ago now he thought of himself as better /higher than his land of birth. So sad. But he is still 2nd class citizen over there.

Thank You

Well done.

Ahhh...is only your feeling

The people there are descendants of convicts. Their actions speaks likewise

Still a lot of people who are anti the current govt criticizing a lot of things. Go out there to see other countries and then u will realize how fortunate u are being Singaporean.

Aus maybe at the state u are in , Gold Coast people are quite friendly , they will greet stranger good morning

Brilliant 👍✌

I like this story of Li Woon. This is what is Patriotism. John Milton says This is my own ...........

Many Singaporeans are homeless

Welcome home.

Sadly i don't get the same treatment as you. I'm half thai, half malay. Everyone will look at me as malay and weirded out when they saw my name. And still , even though they saw it, they kind of have this bad vibes towards me. Like as if it's not acceptable for them that i'm half thai. They'd be saying there's no such thing as thai malay when there is a lot of thai malay in thailand😢😔 they mad that my skin tone is not like chinese.

By birth right, she should have singaporean citizenship unless both parents are not singaporean. If one of her parents is a Thai, she can be considered a Thai. Probably she is bad mouthing Thailand.

I wonder how long she lived in Australia and where she stayed.

U have a beautiful heart!!!👍

I'm shocked and angry how Australian shouted and show disrespectful to people of another country. I came to realise why Australia don't like China after your story. Bless you found a better place to live after leaving hostile Australia.

Thank You So Much Good Gods & Goddesses for selecting Late Grandfather Lee Kuan Yew to established & governed Singapore to be a Place of Sanctuary for People of Certain Level of Good Karma to Live , Learn & Contribute in one of the Better Governed Country in the World! 🙏🕯🌷🌿🇸🇬

Singapore give an expat a home. Locals need to pay ridiculous house prices and taxes to get a house. Something is not right.

Hi Li Woon, That is Australia that you encountered bad experience, maybe you can try other countries like Canada, France or Finland could have been different. With higher GsT , limited land that result in not enough house for youngest with reasonable pricing, hoped you can still said you like Singapore. Not that I don’t like singapore, just that the helped is not likely to open up, for instant like we can pay a amount to our gov, then they helped us career match us abroad for job opportunities, as in accommodation and food we settle ourselves. Like this we remitted money back home conversion rate is a wins-wins for Singapore economic and people that choose this path. As all these years there are S&E that are not willing to upgrade to tech even with subsidies, unwilling to scale up salary, how are we going to success as one United people.

Singapore is honestly the safest country to live in. No natural disaster (except the rare floods) and strict laws to ensure the security of the citizens. Residing in countries where majority of the people are of different race automatically classify you as 2nd class citizen. It's sad but inevitable. You can't change others' perception but you can relocate. Racism exists everywhere, even the 1st world countries. No country is perfect, but at least it's very pleasant to know people like Li Woon who appreciates living in Singapore. Unlike some foreigners who choose to live in Singapore but whine about Singapore.

Sad but true. Problem is the Singapore government will nor let ex Singaporeans to return. True but sad again.

Certainly, we will welcome you with "OPEN ARMS" !

0:50 You are Singaporean dont let other people tell you otherwise

The title should be Australia instead of Thailand. Thailand is very welcoming to everyone.

Animals living in herds tend to only accept their own kinds, mostly, in similar forms or physical appearances and reject those who show differences as their enemies. Sadly, we are not too far from this natural animal instinct, even in singapore. After confirming their suspicion of your 'origin', they will often keep a polite silence if you claim to belong here.

We all do have freedom where do like to live a lot of people end up where they didn’t born but also from where they from it’s didn’t mean it’s worse they the other I can see you really don’t like that u have something to do with Thai I just feel like Thai ppl will feel bad for this just aliltle thing but good for ya ya knew where you love to live your life

Proud to be Singaporean. Unlike Malaysia. Racism there is terrible.

How what about kota kinabalu?

👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

I agree my first and last experience to Australia as a tourist! 😡😡😡😡

Why is the title "Singapore Gave Her A Home Thailand Never Could" instead of

Wrong title.

I am bon in singapore sin 65 y

You are a good example to prove that Singaporeans are NOT racist, although some like to make that accusation in a different situation because a certain new advantaged race started getting abrasive with the rest.

She is really not Thai, even when she speak , her sound is weird and I do believe that she could not speak. she is just a half Thai that is it. the problem is the Australia do not also accept her

The Aborigines there r the original Australian. The Whites forebears were convicts shipped there from Great Britain.

เชิดบุญชาติ is big surname in Thailand.

ถูกต้องครับ คุณคือ คนสิงคโปร์ ไม่ใช่คนไทยคับ (ลีวูน ชื่อไม่เหมือนไทย จะใช่คนไทยได้ไง )

Next time they tell you 'No you're a Thai' reply 'Exactly, thats what I am, what's wrong with that?' 😊 'Thai with a pink IC. Something wrong?' Don't deny your own background/heritage, it's not a blessing to be integrated as part of local Singaporeans Chinese culture either. As a Thai, you've got your own autonomy

Chinese culture looks at the surname of a person n take it from there.

so many like to migrate there...LOL.....

I was spit at by a white teenager out of the blue in Brisbane while on holiday decades ago

It’s sad that Australians treated her that way just because she is different 😭

Please change the title of this video, why would you pit one sea country against another?

She's confirmed singaporean because she loves to use the word "actually" excessively.

Singapore and malaysia ar only saff in asia and the w

Oh...WTF.... I didnt know that Australian behaved this way. Please give such Australian a dog.

You look like a typical Thai just like me who are of Chinese descent only you are not fluent in Thai just like me not fluent in English when I was in Singapore.😅😊

Misleaded headline

You ar singaporean 500%
