well maybe can convince her spore has good nursery or childcare centers.

I don't have experience myself, but pretty sure SG has better nurseries and childcare in general
Now the price of them, and availability (location, getting an open spot) is a different story

heard they are expensive.

everytime I hear people go to Spore to work, all don't want to have kids.

either that or one of the couple have to stay at home to raise the kid while the other works.

how much is it back in MY?
I have 2 kids, my wife and I are still working.

Don't know. You mean you are living in Spore?

But having baby is very hassle, because have to watch over the baby all the time.

You have to understand the first world country situation (Japan, Scandinavian countries, etc)
Even if it wasn't due to cost, the birth rate would be low

But focusing on the money aspect, it's simple
How much does you or your wife earn vs the child care cost?
Unless you're earning less than 2+k each or have more than 2 children, it usually doesn't make sense to stop working and care for the child

That's purely the money aspect of course

seriously don't know until I find job there.

Yup expensive

Pls don't come

Ok. Thanks.

Btw, does anyone hv OCBC Sgp bank? Just want to ask whether you can withdraw Ringgit from Malaysian OCBC ATM using the Sgp ATM card without any additional fee charges?

Same question as for OCBC, - what about for CIMB? Anyone knows?

Better don't give childcare advice if don't have children yet.

It costs on average $1k to raise a child per month for a middle income family

When you have 2 child and your spouse only makes 2k per month, it makes sense for the other half to quit job and raise the children full time.

actually I got many aunty sgrean fren , most of them get maid instead of sending their child to childcare

They say is cheaper

so in MY dun need to look after the baby?

MY got my parents to help mah. And her parents too.

Spore we are all alone.

1. Btw, does anyone hv OCBC Sgp bank? Just want to ask whether you can withdraw Ringgit from any Malaysian OCBC ATM using the Sgp ATM card without any additional fee charges? I heard there is no more fees, is it true?

Same question as for OCBC, - what about for CIMB? Anyone uses CIMB SGP ATM card but withdraws from Malaysian CIMB ATMs?
Any fees?

2. I saw this DIGI promo - RM80 for 20GB but top up RM5 and you'll get free roaming 5GB in Singapore and 60mins talk time. What do you guys think? Worth it?

Any such promo by Sing telcos but reverse order - top up for roaming and calls in Msia??

My sister used to have a 6 months training in BNP, and the freaking apartment rental is bloody SGD3k for a studio suite lol

Properties there are really crazy

don't live in the center of the city lo. think most of us here live 30-45mins away from the city center. my rental is $2k for a 2bedroom HDB.

She didn't get to choose lol. Company paid for it anyway.

And trainee gets $100 everyday just for food allowance. I wonder how's expat's life over there, small kuli also gets such benefits already
