Singaporeans are currently colonising Kuala Lumpur’s boutique hotels to escape the crushing reality of their shoebox apartments and mounting debt.

For the price of a single Grab ride in Singapore, these "Sinkies" can now experience the delusion of being landed gentry in establishments featuring “sensory deprivation pods.”

One local tourist claimed the pods are essential for block out the constant screaming of their inner monologue regarding the 3.5 exchange rate.

“Wah lau, here I can stay in ‘Room to Grow’ because the only thing growing in Singapore is my blood pressure,” the traveller remarked while taking 400 identical selfies.

Experts suggest Singaporeans find “retro-industrial” decor charming because it reminds them of the construction sites they usually live next to.

Hotel staff confirmed that most Singaporean guests spend their entire stay calculating exactly how much cheaper the toilet paper is compared to FairPrice.
