Singapore the best place for expats to live, work and raise a family

By: Kheng-Liang Tan

 

In a survey of 27,000 expats from 190 countries, Singapore has been named the best country to live, work and raise a family for the second consecutive year.

 

With an average earnings of US$139,000 (S$189,250),

62% said that they are earning more in Singapore

while 66% felt their quality of life is better compared with their home country.

 

HSBC’s Expat Explorer 2016 also commended Singapore for its safe environment, saying that 84% of expats feel safer in Singapore than in their home country versus a global average of 52%.

 

Of the people surveryed, 26% came from Britain, 18% from Malaysia and 12% from India

That's true.   I was an expat Singaporean working overseas.  Salary was better than what I earned in Singapore.  Can also afford to drive a car and stayed in a better apartment.  No traffic jam, no long queue at supermarket or waiting for seat at restaurant.   Most of all, people there don't discriminate against foreigners.

I thought bosses said they want to cut cost by bringing in foreigners.  It seems their average salary speak otherwise.  Singaporeans are way much cheaper if that is the average earnings of a foreigners.  Were Singaporeans shortchanged by our bosses all these decades?

Please do not bull shit , I have been travelling a lot and I can assure and testify that discrimination happens everywhere in the world and many places appears much more than Singapore ! 

[Guest cynical]

I bet more than half of the expat surveyed are from developing countries, thus earning more and better quality of life in their home country.

So this is a world of discrimination.   We discriminate against foreigners here, but we're discriminated against when travelling overseas.

In Singapore, I guess most expats are from Malaysia, Philippines and India.  Countries like China and Bangladesh provide mainly foreign workers.  

[Guest AMDK]

Looking at the six figures, it's typically what AMDK expats get paid, five figures is already good enough for expats from developing country.

The grass is always greener on the other side. The best country in the world is heaven (if it exists and if it counts as a country too). The 2nd best country is being contented.

It's not stupid.  Either you remain in Singapore and continue to complain (nothing will change anyway) or you work overseas and enjoyed all the perks of an overseas expatriate and earned tax exempted income.
