Nope. I don't like their country. Cagey, stuck up people but it's clean, safe, no foreigners (bangla, indon, nepal etc). You gotta do what you gotta do to protect against further decline of RM in the distant future.

Actually I agree with what
Ramjade has said, I have been working in SG for quite some time and here's my observation. Native Singaporean do fits the stereotype, they are stuck-up, arrogant, tries way too hard to be high achiever, wannabes but truth be told I don't really see them being superior or more competent, intellectually speaking. I used to work for a company that consists of almost 95% Singaporean, I quit after 2 weeks and went to a new company that have maybe 2-3 PRs and I guess that's why I could stand working in SG for this long.

Singaporeans are always proud of their food, especially their hawker traditions. But IMO there's nothing to be proud at, nothing at all. Their hawker foods tastes like crap, even the Michelin ones (my Penangite opinion). And you would think for a Chinese-dominated country, CNY here will be pretty awesome but no, BAU during CNY as compared to the abundance of CNY ambiance at Penang, the "first joss sticks" on the first day, "sky emperor" praying on the 9th day etc. Zero culture for a Chinese-dominated country.
However, there are some "pros" of being in Singapore. First and foremost, the obvious currency/economy strength/stability which I guess the main reason that lures Ramjade to POEMS/FSM SG. The high efficiency of government organization, be it online portal or walk-in offices (from my personal experiences during income tax filling, PR application etc). Their highly integrated transportation system, both public and private with contactless payment cards in the core. The internet speed, hnnnnghh dual 1GBPS at 60SGD/month so you and your waifu can have 1GBPS each. Lastly, the career opportunities, there is no doubt Singapore has better career opportunities, especially in the financial and tech sector (I work in the tech sector).

P/S Sometimes I don't get the over-hostility towards Singaporean in /k/ or even this board by *some* forummers.
