A Singaporean’s horror story at NAIA
A Singaporean, feliciawong, writes that she had “the worst time ever in Manila while on transit” at our very own NAIA. Her light and smooth journal entry aptly titled “Mabuhay– NOT!” makes for an easy-read which would be very funny if it weren’t true! Here is an excerpt:
The leader took my passport (which his toe-rubbing fingers no less) and stared at it. He flicked at it and examined it closely before declaring that there was “something wrong with the picture”. He insisted that Singaporean passports have full colour photographs. I explained that this was the latest biometric version. He would have none of it.
…
They were evidently pissed, as I tried to convince them that my documents were in order.
“When did you become Singaporean?” – “I AM Singaporean!”
“No, when did you become Singaporean?”
“How did you become Singaporean?” – “I was born there” – “No, what country you from?”
