Everyone I know is leaving or already left

Bangalore is better than KL.but then again going back to Bangalore would be option Z-

My advice is think long term and choose a proper liberal, developed country. The younger you are the more points you get for PR. Australia, Canada and New Zealand are still open for PR. After 40 it gets tougher to get PR.

Place like Dubai and Singapore are only good as long as you are productive.

Australia then would be the same, except scorching and hot.

Australia is ok and i could possibly consider that and I might even have a good chance..I do have a good chance with canada, i have relatives there and there is some extra points in your favor if you have relatives.
btw i'm off to your native country next week,

Yupp, my skin too had become very dry and itchy during my Amsterdam trip last 2 weeks, I am still recovering from it.

Not sure if it is just a matter of time before you get used to it or whether it's a permanent thing.

Both Australia and New Zealand are good. I know many of my colleagues from my previous company who moved to NZ and have made it their home.

This is what Anton Kriel, from Million Dollar traders has to say about West v/s Singapore:
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/i-love-m ... nton-kreil

"So if you want to live an ever decreasing relative standard of living, get relatively poorer on a global scale, struggle in business because your great ideas and hard work pay for everyone else in your society to live for free in their pretend jobs, instead of you and your family flourishing from your enterprise, if you want to work as a "self employed business person" but really you are working for the government from Jan 1st till October 30th as an enabler of the poverty trap due to effective tax rates, if you want your kids to experience declining educational standards, inherit $1.5mln of government debt obligations in the US (25% owned by China) and $550,000 USD in the UK, let them grow up in a financially and morally bankrupt society and for you to spend the rest of your life moaning about it from your cubicle bashing your keyboard and trying to fight it, then stay where you are and stay West."

Kreil selling the FT>SG dream which is now fast approaching it's twilight. He's 20/+ years too late to onto a 'new thing'. Wonder what visa he got, and if based on a business plan what that was...

p.s. Interesting he has no entry on Wiki

Online info says he is an ex-Goldman trader who set up & manages the Institute of Trading and Portfolio Management. He also was the group manager for the 2009 UK reality TV show, Million Dollar Traders.

Yes, it is a bit late for the SG dream.
On top of that, in the isolated community he lives in he probably doesn't get to experience much of the "real" life in SG that can be frustrating for other expats.

True that... behaviors of Singaporeans that merely seemed quaint the first few years really began to irritate the crap out of me by year 8.

There are 3 main things that he pointed out:
1) proximity to China
2) better education
3) lower taxes

I think the 3rd point is the most compelling. As a business, probably you can save tons in taxes. You know HSBC considered moving from UK to Hong Kong and that was recent, and then UK govt had to give some tax concessions to keep them in UK. So I guess there is some merit in what he is saying.
