There's a first for everything. HR asking an employee to name their package?

It is difficult as every company is different.
Look at these three areas as a guide:
Cost of moving your stuff, Cost of putting you up in a hotel until you find an apartment, plus in some cases an incentive (% of salary incentive on arrival, a months salary or whatever)...as I say, depends on the company and what they are willing to pay...

OK, so what is currenly included in your package?
Apt?
Car?
Schooling?
Tax adjustments?
It should all be carried over except if there is an equalization -- which may need to be adjusted. Everyone I speak to these days whose rent is due is complaining that its is going up 20 - 40 %.
Is your concern whether you should get more or less than HK?

As the others have said. I would suggest full cost of moving all your furniture etc (including insurance), serviced accomodation whilst your stuff is in transit (containers can take up to four weeks from HK), or until you can find somewhere more permanent to live, and flights here as the minimum.
For our move we also arranged for the company to pay for hotel accomodation in HK for the night after all our stuff was packed as by the time the Movers finished etc we still had things to finalise (eg finalising things with landlord/agent re keys etc) so we needed to still be there another day. We also arranged for an allowance for incidentals incurred during the move.
Good luck with your move to Singapore.
