SINGAPORE EXPATS FORUM
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

Like me, you will have gotten used to, and taken for granted, the peace, safety and security of Singapore. I dread having to go back to the UK, where wandering into "no go" areas in the dark could get you mugged or worse. Kids hanging out by shops causing trouble. Vandalism. Drugs. Drunken fights. ...

Not any more I think, but they could back around 2008-10 which is when I'm talking about, and when a lot of the previously discussed abuse of the system took place

Well, to be honest, Indian Nationals started the dirty tricks. So, the Government is playing your own game. You countrymen have been gaming the system here for 20 years. Honestly I am lost here. What dirty tricks, as long as the PR application is concerned you fill up a form give your documents sup...

I guess I'm going against the grain here but I'd choose Singapore over HK whether I was single or a family. I was a single guy when I worked in HK and at the beginning in SG too. The living standards in Singapore are better imo, you can live in a reasonable size condo in Singapore but it'll cost a f...

Looks like I'm a little late to this party, but I relocated back to the U.K 3 years ago after almost a decade in Asia (not all of it in Singapore) and I can honestly say I don't regret it for a second. Take a look and my old post from a few months ago, I've not changed my opinion since then https://...

I have wonder if any longtime bankers on this forum are still here, BillyB, JayCee, Chris Pilgrim, Brian Singapore? Sent from my Redmi Note 2 using Tapatalk I didn't realise I was so popular :wink: The first time I've looked on this site in probably 12 months and someone is asking about me :lol: Fo...

I applied for PR at the start of last year with the intention of settling down in Singapore, as my wife is also a PR and has been here for over 10 years. Since then, rule changes have made it much harder for PR children to get into local schools, and now ABSD has been put on PRs when buying their F...

He's not the sharpest tool in the box, that's for sure

Like it or loathe it, you chose to live in Singapore, so do not say such thing as "sinking ship" to describe the country that give you the chance to earn a living here for years. You have been here for a long time and enjoyed so many benefits from this country yet once things are changed in the way...

Go and stay in Malaysia for a while and only come into Singapore when you've got meetings or job interviews. It'll be much cheaper too.
