Of course they do not want to come back yet still keeping their pink IC .... every month can easily get 2-3k passive income from renting out HDB to foreigners in Singapore.

Strange thing is, the most eh kan sinkees (like Kwek Eik Sheng, Wee Cho Yaw, to name a few) have often have no intention to relocate.

200k sinkies live overseas but only 3000 plus registered to vote overseas which is about 1.5%.

cos i think got a rule saying you have to be in singapore for at least 30 days for the last 4 or 1 year. you can always lie since they do not check

also not many cities with sg consulate

Greatest, but the most livable.

You got to comprehend the meanings behind.





CNN had mentioned most livable is still Melbourne.

one day i want visit Aus. really dunno what's the hype about there. ish it really that great. top 5 countries and Aus take up 2, Canada 3. they must be doing something right.

 

[MiG123]

earn double and cars/houses/groceries at half price of SG?

but there's 35% taxation and restaurant meals cost a bomb!!! how could any sane sinkie be content and choose such an environment over a utopia with just 5% taxation and cheap cooked food?!!!

Quitting was the hardest decision to make back then. Selling everything I owned and leaving friends, family and familiar surroundings behind wasnt easy. Turning down a great job offer and venturing into the unknown was pretty damn scary.

But come to think of it, there is no one decision that I have enjoyed more. Quality of life, cost of living, and job opportunities are but the few plus points in the article.

I like that I can pop out of the city on the weekends. I like that I have four seasons. I like my job and the people I meet as part of it. I love netflix and amazon prime!

FWIW, I think after serving NS and all, I have paid my dues for growing up in Singapore. No guilt or shame in quitting.
