Tamil is not our top choice as my husband and myself are both Bombay born and bred and have no understanding of the language! Thanks! Hindi is our first choice. Any ideas what other families do in this case? Is there Hindi classes outside of school for kids to take as a second language option and is...

Have gone thru old posts but was looking for more recent suggestions/ reviews... Since our son only speaks English and we're moving to singapore we would like to introduce him into Hindi as a second language as we are of Indian Origin but having lived in the US we don't speak hindi as much with him....

Thanks for your reply. We are not keen to send him to an International school/nursery/playschool due to the high costs of it. Over kill for a 3-4 year old I feel! We are keen to put him in a good( private?) playschool/Nursery where there are a good mix of nationalities and English is the main langua...

Hi all, Am looking for recommendations for nursery for my son who will be 3 years old when he joins (looking to start him around Sept ideally). Am looking for full day but maybe just twice a week initially, and yes English should be the main language as that is the only one he knows! Don't want to d...

Ok. Thank you for clarifying it.

I'm sorry...is this messag for me?

Hi all, HAve gone through several old posts but can't find the info I need.. Am looking for recommendations for nursery for our son who will be 3 next year when we move to singapore. He is in a playschool program here and loves it and we want to continue it for him once we move. We are looking to li...

If you can afford it and don't mind the commuting, Marine Parade area is the best choice. It has the best vibe, nice settings right next to the East Coast Park and an easy access to the town should you feel like hanging out. Its family friendly but its lively enough for singles, has plenty of food ...

You have missed the most important part. What work were you doing in India? Whats your qualification? I was working in the Media. Was working as Editorial with a publishing house and then moved into the Communications field. Am looking to get back into Communications.....BA in English Literature....

They dont give PR to people who leave out their kids from the application, especially male child/children. Edit: I read you other posts and got to know your nationality. That will make it even more tougher to get PR, even if you include your kids. So am I to understand that being Indian my chances ...

Thanks! I do follow that there are several unknown factors that influence the likelihood of PR. So there is no real 'minimum' financial stipulation that dictates applying for a PR, is there? I do follow how 2 high incomes increase the likelihood for PR along with potentially buying a condo and payin...

Can I ask on what basis you are saying that?

Hi all, We are hoping to move to Singapore and in time (1-2 years apply for our PR). However as we have a young son (2+ age only) we are unsure of where his future lies and are not too keen on tying him into our PR status as that will put him down for NS duty. If we continue to live and have our kid...

Thanks...so we can buy a condo but not a single family home ie landed property. What is a HDB unit?

If we buy property first and then after 1-2 years apply for a PR, does this influence our approval chances?

Hi all, Apologies if this sounds like a silly post! I am at present a housewife in America due to the H4 visa restriction. I have been working for 5 years previously in India. We are now contemplating a move to Singapore. I have been reading previous posts where women in my situation are having a to...
