[QUOTE="Neil Bishop, post: 4653209, member: 55494"] Singapore is a great place to work. Taxes are really low so it makes saving very easy. It is very easy to jump on a plane to anywhere from here. The airport is well-designed, very safe and secure but the security measures are not in your face nor do they make the airport less efficient. Singapore is also safe. I regularly walk around with thousands of dollars in cash without worrying that I will be mugged. It just isn't going to happen (except in a couple of places... and if you know those places then you know Singapore well enough not to have a couple of thousand dollars in cash in your pocket when you go there). As the previous poster noted, Singapore is in recession. It has been for about 18 months, possibly longer, but it has only been official for a few months. That said, there are always jobs for foreigners here particularly for fairly senior/leadership-type roles. Recession just means things are getting cheaper again. I've been here for a few months shy of a decade and have no intention of ever living full-time again in Australia even though I love the place. I am just not prepared to be taxed within an inch of my life to pay for the lifestyle choices of the lazy and drug-addicted so I plan to stay here for another decade or two at least. Oh, and the food is great. ;) [/QUOTE]
