I am not going to comment on your decision to move to SG anymore, since you seem to be quite convinced to go. FYI, I recently left Singapore after 7+ years there, and have not regretted the decision at all. One thing that was a major gripe for me towards the end was being unable to plan for the future - even if you have an EP (or S-Pass), there is no guarantee that it will be renewed again; the rules for which ones will be renewed are opaque and change every year. That was simply no way to live for me.dancer30 wrote:In regards to the pass, I got told I would need a s-pass cause if I want to bring in my wife and son that is the pass I need.
Crime rate (sorry, rage) is 'just terrible' in Perth? Where on earth do you live, above the main train station?dancer30 wrote:There is heaps of reasons to move from Australia, the crime rage here is just terrible, the people are rude, aggressive and slobs and quite honestly I don't want to bring up my child in this country the way it is going.
Well I actually empathize after living in Perth. I remember a happy feeling on the one way flight out and commenting to each other that 5 years is a lifetime quota for this city. Many will disagree and some think I'm crazy when I mention this, but Perth is one of the most isolated cities in the world and it's not everyone's cup of tea.RoastBeefBaron wrote:Crime rate (sorry, rage) is 'just terrible' in Perth?

You sound like you're annoyed with something. Going to Singapore on 4k/month with a family is not a good idea.
Move to Dubai , its much cheaper than Singapore, cars costs half what they do in Oz let alone Sing, housing is about half to 2/3rds as much as Sing, its at least as safe as Sing, no tax, no rain! Driving is crazy but that maybe par for the course.dancer30 wrote:Thankyou for the reply.
Yes I agree perth is one of the most isolated cities in the world. I have lived in perth all my life and at this point in my life it is time to move on. Don't get me wrong there are some nice people in Perth but overall the way the city is going people just have no respect for the city like they used to not like In Singapore where at least people respect there city and there laws are tough which if Australia bought those laws in Perth and all the other states would be a much better place to live.
This is my opion and not everyone will agree, in my opion I think Singapore overall is better structured.
Unfortunately it is just going to get worse here in perth as the years go on, I know everyone is saying Singapore can be quiet expensive but when I have planned for it like I have, put money aside and looked into costs of
Living I know what I am up of that is why I have saved money for a while as a nest egg while getting setup over there.
I guess if there is anyone that can help by maybe pointing me towards a company or companies where maybe I can get my foot in the door quicker and hopefully secure a job that would great, wd40 gave some good companies if anyone else has any other ideas I am more than happy to listen.
Once again thank you so much for all your advice, it has been very helpful
