The post has received over 300 comments so far, with many netizens warning him to be careful of what he wishes for, and that life in other countries isn’t necessarily better than in Singapore.

Some commenters warned about gun violence and mass shootings in the US, where “the right to keep and bear arms” is part of the Constitution.
