UK Colonial system / WHY should I live in Singapore

Moving to Singapore? Ask our regular expats in Singapore questions on relocation and their experience here. Ask about banking, employment pass, insurance, visa, work permit, citizenship or immigration issues.

UK Colonial system / WHY should I live in Singapore

Post by truth » Sun, 27 Nov 2005 12:56 am

I lived in UK System: London and Bermuda
and in USA System: San Francisco/Chicago/Houston

London seems OK now. Bermuda's system was 100% VERY scary and few here even trust the Police. It felt clearly 2nd. World and near 3rd. World with the Police and corruption. The lack of justice spooked me about Bermuda.

My question is:

How is Singapore any different?

Have had offers there, but after living in Bermuda -- I'm very spooked.

Please advise!!

Cheers

oh boy - its seems u've been all around the world .... with the lights off!!

Singapore is WAYYYYYY different from US cities or corrupt nations or some that sprout egalitarian notions of 'oneness against the forces'

Having lived in some of those cities u mentioned - i can tell u that if u enjoyed any of those cities - sing is not the place for you -
