With me spending a lot of time in a year outside Singapore in the last 2 years due to pandemic border closures, I made a conscious decision to downsize my apartment and move to a one-bedded apartment from a 4 floors Landed Property, but only to learn that most Landlords are rejecting my offers given that I am Indian. Note, this is after they ask me to share all my confidential information including IC copies!! Ridiculous. Never imagined Singapore to treat me like a cocktoach just because of my race. I have lived in Hong Kong for over 2 decades but never felt so belittled. All my excitement to move into a ‘so-called-picture-perfect city’ is slowly but steadily dashing to grounds. As a senior executive in my firm, i have been instrumental in hiring local Singaporeans and promoting local labor, but here I am almost no where to move to given the atrocious behavior of these silly dumb head, not-so-friendly landlords!! Shame on them. Ministers including PM have been striving hard to bring in harmony, but its like playing drums to a deaf bullocks!! Sorry Sirs with all due respect, we are being unwelcomed even after your efforts!
