Do take note this is with reference to 'Government and Government-Aided schools'. For independent schools, where my girls are, the fees are already at the range of $300~$600/mth since they are SCs. Independent schools are the big name schools such as Nanyang Girls High, Hwa Chong, Raffles Girls, MGS etc. If you are PR, range is $600~$1,400/mth while Foreign (ASEAN) is $1,000 ~ $3,200/mth. You can get details from here: https://www.moe.gov.sg/schoolfinder

Unfortunately, I have come across situations where kids who did well and got into such schools, have to change to others cause the fees are simply unbearable. Such is life.

As for SG international schools, you may have to pay $2K/mth but sorry to say, unlike M'sia, their education syllabus sux at primary-level but less sux at secondary level. In short, even the lowest-ranked government aided school in SG, will perform better than any international schools.

As someone who has been in Singapore for > 15 years and still pops back to Malaysia now and then, I wouldn’t say Singapore’s quality of life is lower. Malaysia’s got some cool perks... like way cheaper living costs (rent’s about 90% less than Singapore) and a chill vibe with awesome nature spots like rainforests and beaches. If you’re into outdoors more than city stuff like healthcare, safety, or infrastructure, Malaysia might feel better for you. But honestly, when you look at the big picture, Singapore’s got the upper hand with its top-notch safety, stability, and setup.
