TikTok model calls out Singlish and academic pressures, yet says she's ‘still a proud Singaporean'
SINGAPORE: In a TikTok video posted earlier this week, a young woman appeared to take potshots at Singlish, the high value placed on academic performance, and the large number of fines in the city-state, and yet ended by underlining how much she loves Singapore. Carolina Broberg's video has since gone viral, getting over 344,000 views in the past few days and receiving many comments. Ms Broberg, a model of Singaporean and Swedish descent, captioned her video with 'Still a proud Singaporean though,' along with a Singaporean flag emoji. @carolinabroberg Still a proud Singaporean though 🇸🇬 #singapore #sg #singaporetiktok #sgtiktok ♬ original sound – Caro The context of her video is that many people have wondered about her experiences of having been born and raised in Singapore, asking her if it was like the hit movie Crazy Rich Asians. 'And I say if you take millions of people from China, Malaysia, and India and if you squeeze them all into the same tropical island, no one understands each other, and so they end up creating the ugliest, laziest form of English called 'Singlish',' she said. She added that it's 'embedded' in the culture for the self-worth of every child to be 'purely based' on how well they do at school, and the number of laws has created a people who are scared to even breathe the wrong way. Ms Broberg added jokingly that at least everyone has money in Singapore and that they can walk its streets feeling safe, 'admiring Marina Bay Sands, right?' Although she meant it in good fun, some TikTok users may have missed her dry humour and felt that she was insulting the city-state, jumping in quickly to defend Singapore. In another video she posted on Tuesday (June 10), Ms Broberg shot back at commenters who appeared to think she hates Singapore. She proceeded to list what she loves about the city-state, including the food, which she considers to be the best in the world. Another thing she appreciates is safety, saying that a person could leave a Birkin bag in a cafe for an hour and when they come back, it's still there. @carolinabroberg Replying to @Amy Since everyone thinks I hate SG #singapore #sg #singaporetiktok #sgtiktok ♬ original sound – Caro Over on Reddit, where her first video was also shared, commenters were inclined to be more chill, pointing out that there may be something to Ms Broberg's criticism. However, what they did take exception to was how she characterised Singlish, defending it by saying that it's quite an efficient way to speak, since it jumps straight to the point and eliminates unnecessary parts of a sentence. 'Singlish has been and will always be the language of the working class. It's history as a creole formed in our melting pot that allowed people of different races to communicate despite their lack of education reflects Singapore's multiracial origins,' wrote a Reddit user. 'The thing is, people act like Singlish (and Singaporean accent) is some horrible abomination that is unique to Singapore. But different countries/races/languages have their own accented English and their version of ###-glish,' wrote another. The Independent Singapore has reached out to Ms Broberr for further comments or updates. /TISG Read also: Singaporeans give American in SG permission to use Singlish, even say it's 'endearing'

Actor Zhang Yaodong makes TikTok debut to express gratitude for support over being a stallholder
More than a week after Zhang Yaodong was spotted manning a steamed food stall in the Tampines industrial area, the Singapore-based Malaysian actor took to TikTok on June 11 to express his gratitude to his friends and supporters. The 47-year-old filmed it within the vicinity of his stall, starting the video by briefly panning over the signboard to show its offerings. Tagging the location as a coffeeshop at Blk 9012 Tampines Street 93, the former Mediacorp artiste formally introduced his stall in his first-ever TikTok. He wrote in the caption: "A new beginning. Thank you for being part of it. That day at the stall was a wake-up call. Your kindness gave me strength to reflect and figure out my next steps. The road ahead is mine to walk - and it's a path I've chosen for myself. I'll be sharing this journey with you." In early June, a social media user posted the first sighting of Zhang standing in front of the cash register and appearing to be taking orders from customers. Amid the hustle and bustle, the user noted that he was polite and humble, and he was working that day because his employee had resigned. On March 18, a Facebook post by the Tampines Small and Medium Enterprises Association (TSMEA) indicated that Zhang's stall was newly opened during that period and serves traditonal steamed dishes like egg, meat, fish and prawns. Zhang said in his video: "I know there were many friends, even loyal customers, who took pictures of me helping out here last week. I am very grateful for all the encouragement I've received on social media. "I would like to take the opportunity to thank the people by my side who have been silently supporting me, as well as the friends who have come over after seeing the reports." He also credited his long-time friend Catherine Chew for encouraging him to create a TikTok account. "I'm touched by her sincerity, as well as her eagerness for the public to see another side of me. She has also introduced me to several bosses, who want to collaborate with me on TikTok in the future." The bachelor's image took a hit in July 2024 when rumours surfaced about him fathering children out of wedlock with women of different nationalities. In November 2024, Zhang took to Instagram to commemorate his holiday to South Korea with his two daughters, confirming his fatherhood for the first time. In February, Mediacorp's talent management agency The Celebrity Agency stated it was no longer representing him and he has not participated in the filming of any new shows.
