A post of a man praising Mumbai’s infrastructure over Singapore’s has gone viral on social media. While most locals complain about potholes, waterlogging and traffic chaos during the monsoon, this man shared a completely different view.
In his post, he compared Mumbai’s roads and metro with Singapore, insisting that the financial capital offered him a better experience.
‘Mumbai’s Metro and Roads Are Superior’
The man, posting from Singapore, claimed he was speaking from personal experience. “Mumbai’s infrastructure is better than Singapore’s. Be it roads or the metro,” he wrote on X while sharing a clip of himself riding in a bus in Singapore’s suburbs.
He did not stop there. He also praised Mumbai’s gardens and went on to say that the city’s CCTV network was 'way, way better' compared to China’s, calling it a sign of progress.
‘I Don’t Have Low Self-Esteem’
Defending his remarks, he insisted that his opinion was genuine. “I do not have low self-esteem and I don’t get easily swayed. Ours is simply better,” he added, standing by his unusual comparison.
Social Media Reactions: Mockery and Criticism
His comments, however, triggered a flood of responses. Many netizens mocked the comparison, calling it unrealistic. One user wrote, “You lost me today. If you can differentiate between Singapore and Mumbai, that is height!”
Another sarcastically commented, “Mumbai’s pothole adventure is unmatched. Our metro is practically a thrill ride. Why settle for Singapore’s boring smooth roads, peaceful gardens, and efficient CCTV coverage?”
Engagement Farming Accusations
Some social media users questioned his motives, suggesting he was making controversial statements only to spark reactions. One person even called it “engagement farming” and warned others not to fall for the trap.
Others raised serious concerns about Mumbai’s safety record, asking how many people die in train accidents every year in the city.
What began as one man’s unusual praise of Mumbai has now become a talking point online, with many dismissing the claim as far-fetched while others see it as a deliberate attempt to provoke debate.
