what the guy said is possible and is a norm. 15k sgd is not something to shout about.

as mentioned, the boss is not Malaysian, they such as American or any other western country expat, they don't bother about Singapore pr status. mostly Malaysian that went to Singapore would consider pr. don't forget, expat are mostly on contract basis.

expat would enrol their children in private school or home school, as Singapore public school are prioritised for Singaporean and pr. this is a norm.

for 1000 square foot, to me, is way too small. for malaysia standard, is a 2 bed apartment. for Singapore standard, I highly doubt you still able to get 1k at condo even in the least popular area. I think you mistaken hen with condo.

to have a domestic helper, is a norm and if we can afford to suit our lifestyle. having 2 kids at home especially with age between new born to 12 year old request forever attention and lots housec chores involved.
