Living allowance and cost of furnished flat

[permafrost1]

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...

Perma, don't pay any attention to what Carpe Diem has to say. He lost it a while back.
