Can just rent.
There are so many choices out there unlike in SG.

Why want to trap your retirement fund in some foreign countries.
There's no point in holding something permanent overseas. Some countries have very unstable government which can change rules all the time. U may get boot or visa terminated anytime.

If you are talking about retirement, it's just finding a place to temporary rot at less expensive or slower rate, fair chance you will return back to SG for your final days. SG is wheelchair friendly everywhere and can get domestic maids easily.

China govt is stable, but they can be erratic, and money entered into China is hard to withdraw out.
FTP suppose to change n make it easier but still, i dun want to care so much.

I already planned to stay at the farmland side liao.

The likely problems to deal with everyday are spiders, flies, and all the mundane stuff.
Else will be BBQ, and tsingdao beer at sunset everyday.

Dogs can sh/t at the farm or on the yard outside all they like.
No neighbours will care or kpkb anyway

sg is heaven for billionaire

he is just not rich enough
Globally, most of the billionaires are either in the West or at Abu Dhabi. It's where their network, investments and other related stuffs can be accessed there. Singapore on the other hand is a ''stop on the eastern front''. We are used by them for certain business decision and some investments but other then that, they won't be here physically for the long term.

Their businesses friends are mostly elsewhere, no reason to be here long term. You wanna buy prop for example, why would they spend 50M+ for a Sentosa prop here when they can get close to 2x the size at nearly half the price elsewhere where they can see sunrise, sea or mountain off their own backyard? At Singapore see ship passing by have la.

He is quite rich, he has a property in Thailand too and he travels first class.
He travels to Europe alot.

He has few hundred k views but dun think can give him that much amount of money.
His views are pretty neutral for most stuff but generally pro SG, with SG always good in the end.

Likely, he is sponsored by some agencies or he is some rich Russians who moved here.
He is selling some courses on youtubing

Hmmm. So maybe he is already a PR here now? Saw before another video some shared here, hes claiming hes earning quite alot in SG from his channel (adsense, sponsored commercials, etc)
