S’porean tells SG people to “stop being birds” making “cheap, cheap, cheap” sounds in M’sia to be considerate of M’sians

SINGAPORE: The Singapore dollar recently reached an all-time high against the Malaysian ringgit, which would normally signal more shopping and food trips, right? But a man who gives financial advice online has warned Singaporeans against this type of excess, telling them to “Stop being birds in Malaysia” in a YouTube video that has gone viral.

Mr Loo then quoted former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, who once said that when Singaporeans go to Johor Bahru, Kuala Lumpur, or Melaka and buy something because of the “powerful Singapore dollar”, they notice that things are much more affordable. “So stop being birds in Malaysia, can you? Don’t flaunt your purchases, don’t flaunt your Singapore dollar and don’t flaunt your meals,” Mr Loo said.
