Few days back, a caller named "Samantha" from Holland Village called in to Radio 91.3.
She was saying people in Holland Village are cultured, and those from the heartlands, those from Toa Payoh, AMK, Bukit Batok(which is where i am!) are not, and should stay in their own area.
She mentioned, we (from the heartlanders) dressed in slippers, shorts and singlets.. and talks loudly in Holland Village.
Personally i go to Holland Village often, reason being it's the nearest from my house, and of course for the food and pubs.
I see nothing wrong with the place, but maybe see problems in the girl's mind/thinking.
You can listen to what she said over HERE.
And i think many people are being angry or upset, over these remarks, and an event of ''1,000 peeps to Holland V in Singlets, Shorts and Slippers Day" was being organized on the Saturday, 9 April 2011 · 11:00am - 12:00pm.

Holland Village, the cultured place.
