Heart the Heartlands

In Singapore, “Heartlanders” (as opposed to “Cosmopolitans”) was a term popularised in 1999 by then-Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, to characterise the majority of the Singapore population that is generally poorer, less educated, either working class or lower-middle class, speaks a distinct variety of English (Singlish), lives in HDB housing estates, and has a local (rather than global) perspective on political, economic and cultural issues.

Rubbish stereotype. I’m a Heartlander and I’m proud to be a Heartlander. I absolutely love wearing pajamas, dishevelled hair and flip flops to the Heartland Malls or even Holland Village. That is confidence bitches.

Referring to an old news, where self-proclaimed “High Class” lady who lives in Holland Village call Heartlanders uncultured, among other things.  

Class if not what you wear but how you carry yourself. And you, my dear, is simply Crass.
