18yr old Moving out of Parent's House to Singapore

[Kabuki]

Just turned 18 about 2 months ago and ill be moving to singapore soon to start my own life. My plane ticket has already been booked for january 12th. I am currently living in New York City but i am already a singaporean citizen since i lived in singapore when i was 4 til i was 9.

So i was wondering what are some of the main things i have to get done as soon as i land in singapore. So far ive noted to myself to get

-Citizenship Identity Card
-Renew my old singapore passport
-Get a singapore driver's license (I currently own a New York state driver's license + International license)
-find a apartment
-find a job

So i was wondering is there anything else i need to do legal-wise?

any sort of help will be greatly appreciated because i have zero experience living on my own lol.

Thx

If you are a male you will need to also add National Service to your list of things to do.

rare to see such independence in 18 year olds.

Avoid the army, not worth it, find something else to do.

He is a Singapore Citizen, he cannot avoid it.

madura,

Our poster has grown up in the US not Singapore. There they are much more capable and independent as that is the way it is there. It's not rare at all - it's normal.
