Really a lot of people around me who migrated overseas come back to Singapore.

Salary not that high either. Tax also high.

I think if you consider the lower income class in SG they would be thinking grass is greener.
cos they have simple needs. House and car happy like dunno what already.

The high income people high net worth people they rather stay in SG (SG as base) and hop around all over the world traveling

Hence you can tell who are the different classes of people from what they say about this topic.

Tax high, normally health care is better and cheaper.

Not true.

Universal health care is ok for accidents and injuries.

But because there is no private health screening often people get diagnosed with cancer late. Only breast and colon cancer got screening.

Is not like in SG can regularly go for all kinds of tests when you want.

Cheap doesn't mean good.

To be fair the system is one size only. So everyone gets the same . So ALL don't get those yearly tests they want. ALL equal.

For the poorer people they say good. For the rich they say no good so they have to go USA to do the tests.

In SG is rich can also do in SG. Poor get jealous say not fair.

SG give people choice and options depending you got $$$ or not.

Australia just tightened their immigration rules. Many in the mid 40s cannot get their permit renew.

Nowadays I think the successful SGreans all want to stay in SG.

They will travel lots. Strong SGD.

Only those struggling low pay people think of migrating. But the other countries also dont want them

The black claimed n shouted racism but they themselves behaved differently towards the Chinese or yellow skin
Maybe way worse than the white did to them too

So really … black claimed or cried victims , most of the time they imo just make use of the situation

Just look at the Communist BLM.

My cousin migrated to Australia a decade ago and is very happy there. He say salary wise may not be as competitive but there is work-live balance and also doesn't want his children to grow up in SG sheetty alien-infested environment.

My neighbor's son and his wife who migrated to Australia only come back to vist his parent once a year.

One of my fren migrated to NZ a couple of years ago and another one who migrated to UK all are very happy there.

Grass can be greener on the other side.

Work life balance better would be a subjective comparison.
Salary not as competitive is objective comparison.
Don't want children grow up in SG is subjective comparison.

You see in reality what happens is the SGreans will say that those who migrated have low salary pay high taxes. What for?

The only way to really objectively compare is the monetary side of things.

Higher pay? Higher net worth?

Then you ADD those things about better work life balance and children having better childhood as BONUS subjective positives.

SGreans very focused on money. So another reason why have to look at the $$$ amounts.

Any country will always want their best people to stay

Funny thing is , I watched a lot of YouTube videos in the recent years of Ang Mohs leaving UK , Aussie and Canada and moving to SEA like Malaysia and Thailand

That’s 1 of the reasons I hesitate to migrate to Aussie
