IMO,I don't think Singapore is a best place to live. Career might be good but lifestyle is very boring. People are arrogant and selfish. The flat is boring and expensive. MRT is convenient and cheap but I dislike to carry many stuff into MRT especially when it's crowded. I also can't cook if I just renting a room and stay with landlord. Singapore is really a best place to live if you are rich or a country size like Malaysia.

One man's meat another man's poison.

Eduardo Saverin, the Facebook co-founder and billionaire sees it fit to renounce his US citizenship for Singapore citizenship.

So has some other billionaires and the super-rich. Singapore is the new playground for the super rich.

Why Singapore could be the next 'billionaires' playground'

And that is because they don't willing to pay higher tax in US.

If i am that rich and then I don't see why not . I can be a Singapore citizen and still get a working permit in US easily since I am the co-founder of some big company. Flying there with business/first class to US frequently is not a problem at all

In Eduardo Saverin's case, that is not the case. He renounced US citizenship for Singapore to reduce capital gains taxes he would have paid after the Facebook IPO. So that angered the US. They tried to implement the Ex-PATRIOT Act to prevent people like Eduardo Saverin from entering the US again but the Act somehow died in its hearing stages.

Rather than wasting time on having silly unproductive discussion on Australia VS Malaysia VS Singapore VS America, everyone here should spend more time and energy on helping to eradicate child prostitution. Then the world will be a better place otherwise this could be one of your kids.

If you are genuinely interested in helping to eradicate child prostitution, you may get better response if posted on it's own thread.

Posting here will only attract the attention of the ones who posted in this Australia thread.

No doubt that there's no perfect heaven in this world. See which 1 suits you.
Singaporean tend to step on your head 1st. You have to listen to them . Taking the lead in the conversation and treat you all stupid and they're the smartest in world. Later they'd say you all from third world country don't talk so much. They won't listen to your opinion, will seek your mistake and say it loud and clear and humilitating you. For anyone who wish to work in SG. Make sure you wear more 'pants' before they back fire your ass.... biggrin.gif
For me, Singapore definitely not my cup of tea. My friend asked me to work in a consultant firm in SG whereby he's totally workaholic. Slept in office for 3 days to rush work. Pay is good but payback to doctor i would say.
Besides that, SG is a super rich playground. If don't mind living in pigeon hole, then it's ok. Pigeon hole ain't a place for me

Singapore is deemed more developed than Malaysia so their attitude to Malaysians is as what you describe "step on your head 1st", "Taking the lead in the conversation" etc.

The same can be said for a Malaysian's attitude to a Bangla or any of those third world workers in Malaysia..
