‘No culture’, ‘super boring’: Malaysian celebrity Hero Tai draws flak for criticising Singapore on Taiwan show

Huang also used the analogy of cover songs, explaining that “if a song’s original version is not popular, but the cover version is, it is not the fault of the cover singer”. They never said to be original, only that the cover is nicer, he added.

However, it seemed Tai wasn’t done. He upped the ante, retorting that one doesn’t need to stay longer than three days in Singapore and that Singapore’s attractions like Jewel’s Rain Vortex and Gardens by the Bay are “man-made”.

He finally ended his verbal tirade calling the Singaporean guests on the show “man-made people.”

Hero quickly garnered criticism online with one netizen writing: “When a person has an inferiority complex, he will belittle others to make himself feel superior.”

Other netizens also praised the Singaporean guests on the show for responding with grace in the face of the unprovoked attacks saying, “Only the rich can afford to be so gracious.”
