Life in Singapore is very good compared to most of the advanced countries. All they need is to maintain the comfortable level of living conditions and see that it does not deteriorate over the years. I love Singapore and its strict law enforcements.
BE RIGID SINGAPORE, ON YOUR LAW ENFORCEMENTS. YOU ARE THE BEST.
Haha the tune's really catchy. =) though at times the lyrics are a bit difficult to fit in with the lyrics. haha.
And the very fact that the song's so long shows how many things we can complain about. xD I guess that though we have lots that we've been blessed with in Singapore, we all have to see what we can do to make the lives of Singaporeans better.
To be frank though I agree with the complaints in this video, I still feel that Singapore is still the most comfortable place to stay as compared to other nations around the world.
superficial problems are still problems, complains help to make the problem known so that it can be solved. it shows that we want to help make Singapore a better place.
the point of this was, that every person can go and complain about whateva they want and then they put together a song. You cant call a counrty immature just cause of the song cause its what most normal ppl complain about. they complain about their regular everyday life. And not every country has the same problems. You cant compare it to Laos cause they dont have the same problems, so they wont be complaining bout it. they complain bout their everyday life not the problems of the world
Lame, wasting your time to creats such a Lame Video and song. Don't be one that being lad by the nose of those who are ungrateful and who didn;t meettheir personl objectives., We should be happy and grateful of what we have and given, Look around you and around us, Many are suffering and worse than us> wake up if not migrate out!
We should have more of these around - really witty and at the very least entertaining, no matter how trivial or serious the issues being complained against really are.
Why do we complain so much? Simple. We are constantly told the good news, yet some of us experience otherwise and the bad news are often left out in one way or another.
Whoa, I think some people are taking this a bit too seriously. Look at the sidebar, there are Complaints Choir from Hamburg and Tokyo. Would you say that those other choirs are "narrow-minded" as well?
@MsNibot They are complaining because they have not seen the world. Maybe these people need to visit countries like Laos and find out how fortunate we are to live in Singapore. That said, all of them look like they have failed in life. Seriously, if you are living in Singapore and have so much complaints, you are a loser.
@UnSaintLike true. but if you look at other countries like the US, their quality of life may be better. Gotta compare to similar income group so that they will have access to similar facilities and then will we be comparing on their attitudes. Also, you said in your previous comments that just because they look weird and different then they're losers? i mean c'mon, compare bill gates to some male model and he'll look like a nerd, but he's like a gazillion times richer and more influential.
@UnSaintLike so who's the loser now? can't judge ppl by their looks. Complaint choir is just expressing their views on society, highlighting them and raising awareness that Sg ppl probably won't even say. Also maybe some genius might come up with solutions to these problems. Complaints are criticism, depends on how you view it being positive or negative. If you view it as positive you'll work on it and improve it, that's 1 of the ways society progress, the problem needs to be known.
@Jayzer313 I don't think Bill Gates complains like the people in the video. True that they may raise certain issues to others, but come on, life in Singapore is already very good.
These people really got no pride and very narrow-minded. But hey, I totally agree with UnSaintLike. they kinda look weird... I am proud to be part of singapore. think deeply... What about able to walk on the street safely without getting robbed or sexually harrassed, clean city, good accessibility and the multi-cultural environment.
we play our own part as a singaporeans. For eg, if u know plastic bags are hard to be recycle, use a shopping bag pls!
This is a disgrace to Singaporeans. Makes me ashamed to be a Singaporean. Complain complain complain ...
About the complaint about people not giving up seats for pregnant women because they are 'pretending' to sleep .... I have one suggestion, Why not these people just open their mouth and ASK for the seat? Ask and it will be given. Sometimes, we are really tired and need a some shut-eye and we are NOT pretending. It doesn't hurt to just ASK. ASK and it will be given.
Why are some people Complaining that we complain so much? Isn't that kinda ironic. And also isn't it better that we sing our complaints instead of protesting like some other countries?
Come on this choir must go down the drain man. Sucha disgrace. Singaporeans behaving like this. If you think that managing a country is that easy please try it out. Put yourself in other people's shoe. You ain't no someone. Adults in the choir behaving like this. Come on you guys are old enough to think. If there are countries or cities in the world with no flaws, please tell me. I would like to stay there. This thing sucks.
Initially I felt that this performance was wonderful. To my disappointment, I realised that later the National Anthem had been inappropriately used in the performance. It is appalling to see people in this video singing the "distorted version" of our national anthem.

@ineverfakejumps Well, due to Singapore being a small country, we have space constriant. We have a limit as to how many years we can be 'buried' underground. Most people opt for cremation. Sad, really :P
@ineverfakejumps the option for our bodies to be buried after we meet our maker is taken out mostly due to "space limitations". most people have no choice but to go for cremation instead. this usually sparks off more resentment in older folks due to traditional values. im personally okay with it actually, honestly speaking.
this video is quite a bit of ripoff from the one made from tokyo complaint choir anyway.
@flipthescript If I'm not wrong, the Singapore complaints choir video is made earlier, assuming that the date of posting the videos up are close to the dates of the actual performance.
Our govt is smart u know... If they silently hoard up wealth, its corruption. If they unbiasedly declare that all government workers should have their pay increased by 10%, its not corruption. Technically no. If they make a loss and keep quiet about it, its denial of failure. If they tell people that they averted the worse case scenario, and minimized losses its considered rephrasing but hei, its no reason to say that its a bad country. At least u know where the highest paying jobs are.
wow this is amazing. i'm a singaporean but ive been living in australia for the past 5 years... (i do visit sg occasionally.. friends and family) guess things havent changed much... lolz...
btw love the rap bit.. like wow... and the bit about recyling pee? awesome NEW water... haha...
@ russianpunch yeahh our govt izznt as corrupted but hey... rmb this song was banned from performing to the public...
HAhahahahaha - great! Just came from Japanese - you did a great job too! But a lot of "inside" comments that unless you lived there it is hard to understand.
Great job nevertheless, how ironic you got prohibited in the end to sing the song. Lol
Tokyo's complaint choir is a bit better, but I've only spent a week in singapore compared to the multiple times I've been to Tokyo. Hate the rush hours in Tokyo. Singapore isn't as stressful a society as Tokyo is.. It makes sense the more stressful/depressing it is the better complainer you are :P I mean these are spore's issues... thailand has more social problems indonesia, and malaysia too. but yea singapore still has its problems like every other city/country :D urbanites rule :D
@RussianPunch - Also as a Canadian, I agree that Singporeans are not appreciative of their blessings but, unlike you, I wouldn't think that poorly of Canada. These ppl smilingly sing out their complaints rather than protesting violently in the streets like many other countries. What is surprising is that they did not complain about the outrageous salaries their government elitists have paid themselves. You would think that only dictators in some African countries plunder their coffers, eh?
"The indoors are cold, the outdoors are hot, and the humid air, it wrecks my hair" OMG. Even weather is being caused by Singapore?! Apply hair conditional la! Complain only. *Fainted*
I feel like Im playing I Spy.. so theres a guy here who was also in the Birmingham and Helsinki choirs? The husband in the couple who organized this whole shebang?
For the most part, the lyrics have a good sense of humor. Singaporeans speak very fast and understand this song, but not me. I wish this song is interspersed with more short gaps with a slower melody. Way too much acronyms used here, perhaps a satire on their local habit. Mostly one-liners for every gripe, which only locals can understand. In a small island with few places for recreation, what else to do besides rant and complain - better than being dazed on drugs.
its not true.. we have a lot of places for recreation unlike other countries though we do not have much space, we enjoy ourselves at many place on the island..
@juinnano yea there are quite a few places for recreation in singapore. I actually had a lot of fun. Though too many malls!!! I have never seen 5 malls in one area all of which connects to an underground mall. XD Summer year round though I won't complain about my visit in spore. I escaped the harsh winter that was ravaging through Japan at the time XD
@merlintalk really? it was quite easy fo rme to understand but I only stayed in singapore for a week. XD Also if you get caught with drug possession you get the death penalty in spore... But Singapore is cool place if you get use to having no democracy. Its orderly etc, but it is a rat race society. More so than America is. Especially when you have Americans telling college grads to take up blue collar jobs XD. F that and work in Singapore :P or maybe Dubai is a bit better.
@lordblazer Nope, Drug possession wont get you a death penalty. Only Drug Trafficking. Malaysia is where both drug possession and drug trafficking will give you a death penalty
@lordblazer not correct , durian fine is not mentioned on the wall in the MRT. It does say no Durians but fine only for eating, smoking and flammable gases
As a Canadian, I say that some of you Singaporeans are grossly unappreciative of your blessings of a government making the most of such a small island and limited resources. I wish my government were like that of Singapore. Thanks to Singapore's government, it is very physically attractive with world renowned order, cleanliness and pleasantness.
Yet your government is the best in the world--a fact that may not be saying very much given how easy is to be better than awful like our wasteful, incompetent, unjust governments in the West. Your government, though, is far from perfect when it turns a blind eye to the illicit 'flesh trade' and prostitution in Singapore, among other unacceptable acts.
@RussianPunch if you stay in Singapore you will complain. Its the same with every place on this planet. There are its up sides and there are its pitfalls. I use to live in Japan. Great country to live in. If I stayed there with PR status my life expectancy increases by 20 yrs. MY health improved only within a yr of living there. But I can complain about it and trust me there is a lot to complain. Especially about Tokyo... in fact the tokyo group didn't touch half the issues XD
Since there is even more wrong with those counties you mentioned, I focus on Singapore since it is the least morally corrupt government in the world and at least theoretically should be easier to correct.
Wonder why they never include this line "Singaporeans complain too much"
SINGAPOREANS! Forever complaining and complaining about everything. never satisfied.
And I believe none of them would dare say they didn't commit any of the 'offences' they sang there, and neither would any of you. So unless you Singaporeans change ur own ways, stop complaining about others!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
without subtitles i hav NO idea wat the hell they're singin! But its SO true!!! AWESOME! I am a singaporean but I agree I dont think Singapore is a very developed country. Everyone should see China instead even though people dont agree they still KNOW how to RECYCLE plastic bags! I still vote for America n China! Singapore is NOT a that well developed country!....... Btw I am only 5 years old. And Singapore one last thing... Dont we EVER speak PROPER english?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
hence you're only a 5-year-old with immature thinking. Not that I'm being patronistic to the country, but seemingly, all you are able to see is the superficial problems with Singapore and the 'Wonderful' side of China&America.
yea, I don't think this guy knows the life of an average singaporean.. Everyone is stressed all of the time like in any big developed city.. America is no different. Except I think America is a bit worse as there is little social safety net, and corporate crimes go nearly unpunished. politicians openly want to keep this going and say "why shiould they be held accountable" yet morons from the rural areas vote these idiots in.. singapore does sound better right about now :P boon lay
singapore doesn't have the problems that the US and China has.... Mainly singapore doesn't have a large percentage of its population undereducated and illiterate. I dunno I think Singapore is a fine country, but yea it has its problems, but no place is perfect.... though singapore has summer year round :D I likey
I think the 'bachelor's degree' part means that she wishes her bf is not 'kiasu' like the others , wanting to get a bachelor's degree just because of egotism ('kiasu' again)
I pretty much enjoyed this all the way. Why? They are all what Singaporeans are doing. Yes, we do see these in other countries. So why not, we take the initiative and be different from other countries?
is 9 minutes plus to create a Singapore Complaints Choir... Let's guess how long the Malaysian Complaints Choir would be...? haiz... Malaysia BOLEH!? Give me some boleh-ness before i decided to become a Singaporean! Love your country Singaporeans... why? because I don't & i can't.. sadly to say... :(
some powderful words...can irrate a few pple but who cares........gd job esp having a few races working together to get this choir going...well done!!!.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
thanks for the subtitle........ i cant understand what you guys are singing without it. you asians need to learn proper english diction. i heard singaporeans are suppose to be good in english. i was proven wrong. this is really bad diction. LOL. try harder
boring..everyone know abt this.. many country worst than singapore..be grateful of what u have people..look ard the neighbouring country and if u can tell me they better than singapore then..move out..
i think its fine to have a complaint choir. but some of the things are plain common?! like all around the world?! sleeping on trains? spitting in the pool? man, everywhere u go, u get these...
dont quite get it why the govt wants to ban this song when most of us sgporeans understand and already know all these stuff. By banning this, more people are going to want to see this clip.
This impresses and pleasantly surprises me than anything else on this island combined. As Fredrick Douglass said "Agitate, agitate, agitate!" But again as
that former slave who stole his own limbs said, "but my rapture is soon checked when I remember that all is cursed with" the fact that this clip is "officially" banned in Singapore.
lol chill guy it's just a song with complains thats all government can pretend not to see if they do not want but why stop the rest from enjoying it? and it goes to people who hate what the choir sing, DUN VIEW! nobody force you too view.... btw if u guys who are unhappy with the complain take a look at other country complain song and look at were there are singing it? i dun understand what is it that make u guys hate it? just enjoy! lol
i like the way Singapore is...the only thing i don't like was the "kiasu" thing.hehehe no offense... for this choir, as human rights they can voice out..whats wrong is, if the government won't let their people speak what they feel... imprisonment is not the solution...
what we we gearing up for. HDB flats are being to expensive for people to buy. especially those who are just starting up their career and their family. I have an in-law who is a norwegian he moved back there because he say in SGP he in not paid what he is worth. they are many things that has to be corrected. But when people take action they end up in jail. how to make things right that way. This is not democracy!!!! This is meritocracy!!!!!!
Thumbs up if you replayed the rap so you could try to understand.

@flipthescript If I'm not wrong, the Singapore complaints choir video is made earlier, assuming that the date of posting the videos up are close to the dates of the actual performance.

Our govt is smart u know... If they silently hoard up wealth, its corruption. If they unbiasedly declare that all government workers should have their pay increased by 10%, its not corruption. Technically no. If they make a loss and keep quiet about it, its denial of failure. If they tell people that they averted the worse case scenario, and minimized losses its considered rephrasing but hei, its no reason to say that its a bad country. At least u know where the highest paying jobs are.

Great job nevertheless, how ironic you got prohibited in the end to sing the song. Lol

Tokyo's complaint choir is a bit better, but I've only spent a week in singapore compared to the multiple times I've been to Tokyo. Hate the rush hours in Tokyo. Singapore isn't as stressful a society as Tokyo is.. It makes sense the more stressful/depressing it is the better complainer you are :P I mean these are spore's issues... thailand has more social problems indonesia, and malaysia too. but yea singapore still has its problems like every other city/country :D urbanites rule :D

@RussianPunch - Also as a Canadian, I agree that Singporeans are not appreciative of their blessings but, unlike you, I wouldn't think that poorly of Canada. These ppl smilingly sing out their complaints rather than protesting violently in the streets like many other countries. What is surprising is that they did not complain about the outrageous salaries their government elitists have paid themselves. You would think that only dictators in some African countries plunder their coffers, eh?

For the most part, the lyrics have a good sense of humor. Singaporeans speak very fast and understand this song, but not me. I wish this song is interspersed with more short gaps with a slower melody. Way too much acronyms used here, perhaps a satire on their local habit. Mostly one-liners for every gripe, which only locals can understand. In a small island with few places for recreation, what else to do besides rant and complain - better than being dazed on drugs.
merlintalk 2 years ago 2
its not true.. we have a lot of places for recreation unlike other countries though we do not have much space, we enjoy ourselves at many place on the island..

@juinnano yea there are quite a few places for recreation in singapore. I actually had a lot of fun. Though too many malls!!! I have never seen 5 malls in one area all of which connects to an underground mall. XD Summer year round though I won't complain about my visit in spore. I escaped the harsh winter that was ravaging through Japan at the time XD

@merlintalk really? it was quite easy fo rme to understand but I only stayed in singapore for a week. XD Also if you get caught with drug possession you get the death penalty in spore... But Singapore is cool place if you get use to having no democracy. Its orderly etc, but it is a rat race society. More so than America is. Especially when you have Americans telling college grads to take up blue collar jobs XD. F that and work in Singapore :P or maybe Dubai is a bit better.

@lordblazer Nope, Drug possession wont get you a death penalty. Only Drug Trafficking. Malaysia is where both drug possession and drug trafficking will give you a death penalty

As a Canadian, I say that some of you Singaporeans are grossly unappreciative of your blessings of a government making the most of such a small island and limited resources. I wish my government were like that of Singapore. Thanks to Singapore's government, it is very physically attractive with world renowned order, cleanliness and pleasantness.

snger 2 years ago 4
Yet your government is the best in the world--a fact that may not be saying very much given how easy is to be better than awful like our wasteful, incompetent, unjust governments in the West. Your government, though, is far from perfect when it turns a blind eye to the illicit 'flesh trade' and prostitution in Singapore, among other unacceptable acts.
RussianPunch 2 years ago
@RussianPunch if you stay in Singapore you will complain. Its the same with every place on this planet. There are its up sides and there are its pitfalls. I use to live in Japan. Great country to live in. If I stayed there with PR status my life expectancy increases by 20 yrs. MY health improved only within a yr of living there. But I can complain about it and trust me there is a lot to complain. Especially about Tokyo... in fact the tokyo group didn't touch half the issues XD

we purify our urine is because we dont have limited water resources and not recycling water is not the main reason.
having cranes around in sg shows our rapid development and we should not generalise the whole sg community just because of some black sheeps.

SINGAPOREANS! Forever complaining and complaining about everything. never satisfied.
And I believe none of them would dare say they didn't commit any of the 'offences' they sang there, and neither would any of you. So unless you Singaporeans change ur own ways, stop complaining about others!

yea, I don't think this guy knows the life of an average singaporean.. Everyone is stressed all of the time like in any big developed city.. America is no different. Except I think America is a bit worse as there is little social safety net, and corporate crimes go nearly unpunished. politicians openly want to keep this going and say "why shiould they be held accountable" yet morons from the rural areas vote these idiots in.. singapore does sound better right about now :P boon lay

But when people take action they end up in jail. how to make things right that way. This is not democracy!!!! This is meritocracy!!!!!!
