It was not only me, but all incoming passengers were being searched prior to heading to immigration, which was an absolute offense to me. Singapore needs to understand that first impressions are very important for first time visitors to Singapore. Unfortunately my first impression to Singapore was negative, which is why I have no intention of ever visiting/transiting in Singapore again in the future.

Singapore needs to learn from developed countries on how to treat its visitors. I was stopped to have my passport checked in HKG at the gate bridge, but then was cleared for immigration

This was a bad experience (especially when I was flying J class on CX,) but not as bad as being searched upon arrival
