Thanks SMS. My reason for disliking the US is because the government is very very intrusive. It is getting really bad in the last 10 years, basically since 9/11. I selected Singapore for a potential relocation: 1) Language. I am fluent with both English and Chinese 2) Economic freedom. A lot less re...

Glad we have something we can agreed on

I do have a question for you. I have read that you have been living in Singapore as PR for 30 years, what is holding you back for applying the citizenship?

I assume you are US citizen as well.

I think the pay is in line to what is paying in the US. My brother took the same job in Manhattan for 40k with no experience last year. He started in April, and after the year ended, he received a 20k rise with 20k as bonus. So the money is there. You also save on tax. I think Cali is #3 or 4 on hig...

I don't even like Glen Beck. I am a Ron Paul supportor. He talks about things like private property right; you have to take care of yourself; get the government off your back, sound money, etc. I know, nonsense for most people. The post just my personal opinions. I always advise people do their due ...

No. Indonesia does not tax worldwide income. It tax on all income if you live there. However, the US tax worldwide income, that's it, you have to pay tax to the US government regardless where you live. New HEROES Act of 2006 also make US permanent resident pay too. (I think PR was exempt from world ...

I would against taking US citizenship. I am a US citizenship and see absolute no benefit for being one. USD is going downhill and will become toilet paper in the next few years. US is the greatest debtor in the history of the world. US is the the only country in the world that tax worldwide income. ...

Isn't opening an account at HSBC is a better solution? They have branches all over world.

Google maps listed many HSBC branches in Singapore.

Is workers in Singapore more efficient? Or the same 80/20 rule apple? 80% of the work is completed by 20% of the people. For work in general, I think senior level always have longer hours. At least all my senior managers are like there. Always the first one to show and last to leave. I even know peo...

I was just trying to be sarcasm in my previous post :P Anyway. After reading through the thread, I find this maid sponsorship program very similar to the Au Pair program we have in the state. Except is we sponsor young female students. They are cute, at least those I have seem in mall. Honestly, if ...

As someone have said, just hire old and uglyl maid and your problems are mostly resolved.

For me, if I have to hire a maid, I make sure they are hot. I have good looking children, and I want them to look at beautiful thing and people every day.

Why not start looking in the IB here? Then during interview, you let them know you want to relocate.

My friend works for a big IB and is currently relocate to Singapore temporary.

Is the fee annually or monthly? What kind of duty do they perform or have?

Do you have any reference to read about this?

Thanks all.

Agreed with Billy on this.


I honestly don't want Singapore go into what the USA currently is. Now people just come to the USA to get on the welfare system. Free food, free house, free medical and dental care. Some city is pushing for free cell phone. WTF.

Always get a bigger place if you have children.

I don't live in Singapore, but moving out of NYC to the suburbs make my children so much happier. Bigger house, bigger yard. Has a children park a block away.

Is the map working? It said interactive map, but it is not clickable.
