It reminds me of Monaco and how it is there. So knowing t...

did they try to talk to her ? well, are you serious ? Yes, they occasionally talk. Last time while pushing a stroller and our daughter, she said 6-10 Indians (probably Banglas, she won't know) all walked around very close and started asking her name, if she was a maid (she looks young and our baby ...

Normal people are not helpful in Singapore, simple, if you expect new people to be helpful and conscious of your needs/preferences and you aren't paying them... Think again. It's the same in much of the world, if in Singapore you don't like it you know where the door is. Likewise, if you don't like...

Yes there are generalisations made, and they tend to acutely observed and accurate. I'm not going to go back and try and divine what aggrieved you, as it is of no consequence to me (why should it be?). I'm still waiting for a 'stereotypical sub-continental' to explain to the forum why they are fond...

Let me reply subjectively & not play around with assumptions unlike you. Objectively? I found lot of offensive generalizations made in this forum based on nationality. Can you explain why you mention this? I ask as I have noticed one or two people claiming this before. Is this community meant to be...

I'm almost 30, married, but my spouse won't be with during the time in Singapore. As such, I'm fine living in a small space like a studio or even something similar to a college residential hall. I just want it to have A/C and to be free of cockroaches (I have allergies). I'm willing to have a roomm...

If you are a vegan and don't want private transport and are a non-drinker then yes you can do it in Singapore and possibly save 20-25%. That is assuming you can find HDB under 2K/mo. If you really want to save, share an HDB. Try to find an HDB renting out a Master BR (attached private bathroom) for...

hey guys;
I am being offered S$5000 per month. Am married and plan to rent out a HDB accommodation. According to you is 5k enough in Singapore with a bit of savings? I currently operate on a 40-60 ratio of savings to consumption in India. What is it like in Singapore?

Hey guys, Would be joining as a trader in Singapore at S$5000 p.m. Variable pay would be per company policy. The companys providing insurance.
