Content creator wants to return to Singapore, surprised at reception
Speaking to MS News, the 24-year-old shared that he had always wanted to visit Singapore since a young age.
“To live my dream was just amazing!” he gushed. “I had always wanted to see both [Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay] and I knew as soon as I had the chance to stay in Singapore I knew I had to do it!”
He also ended up only visiting these two places as he was short on time.
Initially, he didn’t think much about the number of views his views were getting, until he checked the video and realised it was blowing up mainly with a Singapore audience, which he was very happy with.
“The response I had back from people from Singapore was just amazing, there were so many positive messages about me enjoying their country!”
Mr Jones also shared his desire to return to Singapore someday as he was “gutted” not to have had the time to visit “everything”.
We’re sure Singaporeans will welcome him back with open arms.
