Hi,
I’ll be moving to Singapore beginning of March for a one-year international assignment and am in the process of checking out my contract…
My company is offering to pay:
- a monthly living allowance of SGD 1 136 for expenses such as meals, public transportation, taxis, telephone, laundry expenses…
- SGD 2000 for a furnished flat.
Being a single girl, I would like to live in a lively place (any other lively places that the center?), not far from public transportation.
- Would SGD 2000 be enough to get a nice 2 bedroom furnished flat with new, modern furniture in the center of town? Any chance of getting a swimming pool for that price?:)
- Does anyone know if this monthly allowance would cover expenses for one person?
Any advice would be most welcome.
Cheers
Laura

That sounds quite fair.
I guess you will be able to even save some money unless you go to the WNDC and become friends with Sapphire...
