A British tourist was slammed by netizens claiming to be from Singapore after he said the little red dot was “the worst country he has travelled to”.<\/p>\n
The man, who goes by British_Bert on TikTok, posted a video with the abovementioned text on Wednesday (July 1), adding that Singapore was “not even close” to the other cities he has visited.<\/p>\n
He briefly explained his stance in the caption, writing: “For me.. it’s still a great country may I add! Just found it slightly boring to what I find enjoyable.”<\/p>\n
The tourist added that Singapore is still worth a visit \u2014 describing its food, people and skyline as “amazing” \u2014 but advising others to only come for short trips.<\/p>\n
However, it seemed that his initial statement had angered some Singaporeans, who took to the comments to clap back.<\/p>\n

One comment read: “Probably too good for your standards.”<\/p>\n
Some commentors also told him not to return to Singapore, while others pointed out how his statement was “funny coming from a British person”.<\/p>\n
While there were many angry comments, some netizens tried to reason with the tourist and understand why he made such a statement.<\/p>\n
Another netizen wrote: “I’m sorry you had a bad experience, but one trip doesn’t define a whole country. There are good and bad experiences everywhere, and expressing criticism respectfully goes a long way.”<\/p>\n
To this, the Briton \u2014 who, according to an earlier post, resides in Indonesia \u2014 responded that he still saw many positive aspects about Singapore.<\/p>\n
“It’s not a bad place, just bad for me,” he wrote.<\/p>\n
Some comments expressed agreement with the tourist’s opinions as well, calling Singapore boring and expensive.<\/p>\n
The man then made another video to address the influx of negative comments he had received, where he elaborated on the reasons he formed this opinion of Singapore.<\/p>\n
