German TV show makes fun of Singapore

An episode of a German television show - Galileo - was dedicated to making fun of Singapore.

Videos that surface on YouTube showed the show's correspondent traveling to Singapore to explore its 'oddities'.

The show opens with the host saying Singaporeans are "strange human beings that enjoy smiling, getting their temperature checked and eating disgusting food."

In Singapore, the correspondent tries to enter a building only to be stopped by a woman who takes his temperature before allowing him to enter.

He mocks the health precaution and says, "Imagine if you had to be checked for a fever every time before you entered a shop. Sounds strange, but it is an everyday occurrence in Singapore."

He then visits Nirvana Memorial where he meets a monk who gets a salary.

He says that in normal temples, monks receive alms from devotees, but in Singapore, they have money sent to their bank accounts.

The host also goes on to meet Singaporeans who keep songbirds and the Singapore Paranormal Investigators (SPI).
