Singapore Unfiltered: Why can’t we take criticism, Singapore?
Published on 6 Jul 2026
This week on Singapore Unfiltered, a British tourist went viral after calling Singapore the "worst country" he'd visited, while another foreign content creator previously labelled it the "most toxic city in the world".
Both sparked fierce backlash online. So why do comments like these strike such a nerve? Are Singaporeans becoming too defensive, or is it only natural to stand up for our country when outsiders make sweeping judgments?
