SINGAPORE - Popular travel blogger Nuseir Yassin, better known as the founder of Nas Daily, reiterated in a Facebook post on Thursday (Aug 30) that his viral videos on Singapore were not sponsored.
The 26-year-old, famous for his one-minute clips that are uploaded daily, was responding to critics who claim that he had been paid to produce the video series.
These include Why I Hate Singapore, in which he explains that he is jealous of Singapore's world-class food and racial and religious harmony, and a clip introducing Changi Airport as the world's best airport.
He also posted videos about the lives of ordinary Singaporeans titled Crazy Poor Asians, referencing the hit Hollywood movie Crazy Rich Asians by Singapore-born author Kevin Kwan, the freegan movement here, as well as a feature on a swim school for babies.
The videos have since racked up between 1.7 million and 8.3 million views each, with the most watched being How Singapore Cleans, a video on the country's landfill system.
Some netizens claimed that the videos, which came with disclaimers that they are not sponsored, largely focused on the positive aspects of Singapore, as they were paid for by the authorities.
