I feel that the writer is trying to say that Singapore is actually a very pleasant and nice country to live in. The people here are indeed very friendly, although no country is perfect, and we do have our fair share of black sheeps.
In fact, I can feel the contrast of the situations. In Dubai, it was a very unfamiliar place for the writer and his family. His situation is only made worse by the fact that his son is often ill-treated.
Upon returning to Singapore, he finds the place very nice and the friendliness of the people here helped improve the conditions of his son.
What I really liked is the realisation that some Singaporeans do have a sense of belonging to the Singapore spirit, contrary to what others may say. In fact, Singapore is multi-racial country and all people are treated equally, so it is very easy to blend in.
It is also very heart-warming to find out that the writer's son's friends are very kind and accept him for who he is. That definitely cheered him up and gave him a sense of motivation. I really hope that all Singaporeans can get this acceptance and enjoy his life in this beloved country.
I am proud to be a Singaporean.
