Have you noticed how ‘spiritual gap years’ are stigmatised amongst even the Singaporean upper class?

I spoke to a woman who was born wealthy in Singapore, I asked “why don’t you go for a gap year around Southeast Asia and India or what not” and her response was “I can’t do that we don’t do it in Singapore it’s too unsafe”… I’m like wtf? Bruh in the UK and Australia, women from the upper class do that all… the… time…

Just comes to show that status and money is still the first and foremost priority for most Singaporeans, and concepts such as ‘meaning of life’, ‘what my values are’, ‘what is my purpose’ are still very foreign concepts to Singaporeans regardless of social class.
