A Filipino has asked Redditors whether he will be treated well when he visits Singapore simply because he is an ethnic Chinese.

Reddit user u/Eskelyojimbo, who appears to be based in Manila, Philippines based on his post and comment history, asked netizens on the Singapore subreddit:

“Is it true i’ll be treated better because I’m Chinese? So i’ll be going to SG soon and I heard that one gets better treatment if one is Chinese? I’m an overseas Chinese by the way.”
